Hi I have four feral 4 month old kittens living in my back yard. I trapped them and then took them to the human society / spca last week and got the tested, shots and fixed. The have been released and are doing great.

We have 3 cats, 2 of them are about the same age & are from the same litter. One of them is just an out & out snob, any time either my wife or myself EVER attempt to hold her, no matter how gently & slowly we approach, she inevitably runs away refusing to be allowed to be touched & when we do...

My Siamese altered female, age 4. The other day she was in a neighbors house and would not come out. I had to drag her out by the back of the neck from under a bed. Since then she has been attacking me, and her eyes are bugging out of her head. I don't want to take her to a vet, because they...

Does anybody know if Premier Pet Insurance is still around? I want to get insurance for my 4 cats and it appears that this is a good plan/ I tried calling and I can't get through. I tried getting a quote from their website and it doesn't work. I feel that VPI has too many restrictions that's why...

Our cat is being bullied by another cat on our street. It is now reluctant to go outside and has recently begun chewing its feet causing them to bleed. Does anyone have any advise on how to deal with a problem like this? Regards Richard

My cat is an indoors/outdoors cat. Ever since winters ended, she has insisted on sleeping in the porch. She also prefers not to use the litter-box and like to go outdoors. She has never strayed beyond our lawn: one neighbor has a loud dog, the other one loud workmen and machinery 8 hours a day; and...

I just lost my Cat, she was a siamese but looked more tonkanese to me, named Kiki. My mom bought her for me when I had just finished the first grade, so I was around 6 years old. I am now about to turn 28 and she has been with me the entire time, amazing when I reflect on it, she was around 21. She...

We have two 5-year-old male indoor cats, brothers that were both fixed at 6 months of age. Over the past 6 months on 3 occasions one of the cats has become very dominant and has aggressively attacked the other. So far these episodes have lasted for about 24 hours and then everything goes back to...

What did you do with the body or ashes? The reason I'm asking is I have a dog that's terminally ill and I want to prepare ahead of time so that I have a plan. She's still hanging on (and doing ok), but the vet expected her to pass months ago. I'm thinking about putting her in our back yard,...

Hi, Ive have a kitten Daisy who is about 7 months old and is driving my wife and I crazy by destroying our curtains, and meowing at the early hours of the morning. It all started a few months ago when daisy who used to sleep on our bed with us decided to attack our new curtains in the bedroom. As...

I have a 9 year old cat and it underwent surgery on Monday to have a tumor removed from its left flank. It lies down doing nothing, only drinking water. This evening it will be 72 hours of the operation. I'm waiting for the results of the biopsis. The Vet said that it was a huge tumor. I'...

I just got a new rescue kitten today. She has a yuck brown, shiny, hard, oval - thing - on her shoulder. It's about the size of a small pea but elongated. An engorged tick maybe?????????? If it's a tick should I try to remove it or should I just treat it with Frontline and hope it dies and falls...

Hi, four months ago someone tossed some kittens into my yard. Although I already have two cats, I decided to keep these two kittens, as there is no way I could ever drop them off at the pound. At seven months of age I took them to have them spayed and neutered. The doctor told me they must have...

While stary cats face certain dangers all the time, I am wondering if Halloween atmosphere increses those risks? I ask because I feed a stray cat that show up late afternoon and leaves in 1-2 hours. If Halloween evening would increase any risk to her, I could try to lure her into staying longer....

Our 16 mo. old male cat had his 1 year vaccination yesterday. He won't eat & wants to sleep 24 hours/day. Vet says give 1/2 a baby aspirin. I thought that aspirin was bad for cats. Is it or not?

I took house cat to the vet for a scratch on her neck that got infected. They gave her a shot of antibiotic. She's getting better but I wonder if I put some Triple antibiotic ointment on her neck and she licked it off, if it would hurt her? Any thoughts? When I clean her neck with hydrogen peroxide...

Hi Group, As many of you know, I have 11 indoor cats, well, 10 now. Old Buster (a beautiful tuxedo male) passed away last weekend. He went in for a checkup (he was 16) last Friday, since I noticed he was eating less and had diarrhea. His blood work was normal and his kidneys were functioning fine...
