As much as we all love our cats, it must be admitted that in bad economic times one cannot live on carbohydrates alone. Cats are an excellent source of protein and I am wondering if, in an extreme situation, it became necessary to consume one's cat, what recipes would be most suitable? Ideas for...

Picked up a foster cat a couple days ago with 5 day old kittens. The snap test showed positive for giardia. I've dealt with this before in orphaned kittens I've raised but not in a nursing mom. The vet put up Metronidazole suspension, once daily for eight days. The protocal in the past has...

No time to go into details now, but I have Diva and Benjamin in my apartment now, and they are getting along pretty well so far. Still a bit stand-offish but they can tolerate each other within close distances and don't feud much over food. Here are my photostreams. A number of the photos are...

I have two cats and they both "trill". I use the word trill to describe that sound they make before a full meow. One of my cats trills all the time...every time I touch him and also he trills while he walks around the house. I'm wondering about this trilling because I've had other cats over the...

Her egg was empty, outer, and explains between the shower. Who will we dine after Simone fears the thin swamp's sauce? Well, GiGi never cares until Geoffrey combs the active frog smartly. Where did Martha hate the hat among the bizarre plate? Yesterday, butchers believe between lean stores,...

I was wondering why the cat wasn't burying her waste. This morning I saw what was happening. After she goes, she makes all the motions of burying, but she does it on the rim of the litterbox. She sat there for five minutes trying to "bury" her waste by clawing, scooping, and scratching the...

Hi All, My cat - Tuo-Te - is getting on in years, and my vet has recommended he go on Potassium supplements to curb his early stage kidney failure. The supplements are $40 Canadian for a 2 month supply. I've been thinking - if my chemistry is correct, Potassium is an element.

We recently had a longhair cat adopt us and I would like to brush her, but the brush I use for other other guys, a short hair and medium hair, doesn't do a very good job on her. It just slides along the surface of her fur without really brushing her. What kind of brush should I get? One with fewer...

Many of you know about my newest kitty, Marbles, who after 7 months with us, still has to be separated from our other 2 cats, Scottie and Abbey, due to his desire to chase and torment them. We have something of a routine worked out where Marbles lives in 2 rooms most of the time and comes out for...

Hi to all! I've had my cat for going on 15 years. He's my buddy and I think the world of him, but when he uses his litter box; 3 out of 5 times he will drop feces either right at my bathroom door or in front of the box. I'd say that this has been happening for about three years. One time I had...

Our precious oldest son, Amaretto, a seal point Siamese, turns 13 years old today! What a dear little survivor he is--we have had him since he was 3 days old and (more recently) he has been a feline diabetic for the past 4 years! We are VERY proud of him! Like any good kitty birthday boy, he is...

depending on the area? My Yuri had his tummy shaved for surgery,then had various other areas shaved as he required other procedures. Except for his tummy, the fur is growing back nicely. On his stomach it has barely grown in at all. His surgery was 2 months ago. I have one of his littermates, and...

My wife and I woke up one morning to the sound of two cats fighting. We had went to see what all the comotion was a about and we noticed a beautiful bengal mix cat that had been hurt and looking for food. We took him to animal emergencey where they took care of his wounds and several weeks later...

Is there a link between hyperthyroidism and aggression and/or terratoriality towards other cats in a household? We have a 12 year old male (approx. 18 lbs) with confirmed (but mild) hyperthyiodism (and arthritis). He's been sharing the house and yard with 2 younger new cats (male and female, both...

As I said before, we've had a hard time getting Oreo and Gabe to play with any 'cat' toys. They don't like the balls with bells, the furry mice, the hanging ropes, anything with catnip... you get my drift! (Gabe does like laying on paper, never really figured that out) But, I'm happy to...

Sorry about the length of this posting but I can't seem to make it any shorter and give all the information of what I tried and so on. I'm at my wits end on this one my kitten is four months old, I realize this is sort of early for training but he does come when I call him. I have been using a...
