Dufus has been doing good on the Nutro Pouch food, but seems to be slowing down on it now. Thinking he is getting tired of it. Problem is he will eat only pouch food, seems to be more juices than canned, no success in getting him to eat canned. Have tried Wellness, SD. I have been giving him a...

One of my cats has begun being very interested in my showering. He sits on the floor just outside the tub, starring at the shower curtain until I am done. When i pull it across and dry off, he is still sitting there starring, and the very second i step out he starts meowing, and doesn't stop until...

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I hadn't seen anything here about it. I've never heard of such a thing. What do you suppose happened? My first thought was rabies, but they've ruled that...

My cat has a toe biting problem. I've had her since she was weaned. While she was in her first year, she would bite toes in the middle of the night. She's now 3 years old, I learned to close my bedroom door to curb that behaviour. She's grown up with another cat since she's lived with me. The other...

After losing elvis on Tuesday, I woke up this morning to find my husband dead. He had heart problems and was a drinker but he was only 53. Please keep me in your prayers. I am in shock. Thank you all for being so kind over the last couple weeks. Carol

Sam cat is 14 and she has hyperthyroidism plus she's supper picky eater I've tried several things that were suggested in this book I have on older cats, microwave moist food for 10 seconds & use salt free chix broth on dry food. Both worked well for awhile, no longer work. I have tried melting...

We have a new kitten - around 8 weeks old. She was eating and playing the first day we got her home but just sat around the next day. That was Tuesday. We took her to the vet from the cat home where we got her, after our vet wanted to put her on an IV for fluids and do blood tests, which we just...

Our silver tabby loves the litter box, when we clean it out and refill it, she will either: Go in and lie down. Nothing else. Just lie there. OR Wait close by for the other two to come and use it (it's always a race to see who gets to be the first to soil the new litter) and attack them while...

Hi...how big is a cat's liver? Mine has 1.5 cm tumor in it...Right now she's getting quartizone. Her shot from last Saturday is wearing off, today is Thursday - hope she can make it through next week..It's too bad because she's been eating pretty well. Then last night everything slowed...

Hello All, In a previous post, I mentioned Dharma's challenge to poop in the litter box. She did well for the first 2 days she was home; now she is not pooping at all... For the past two days, nothing. I'm calling the vet this morning but I was hoping that one of you fine people might have some...

Just wondering if there was a real pet vet in here.. or.. are you all just playing doctor? And as far as *this* group goes... I think some of you are pretty cool.. but most of you are arrogant ****s. The name of this froup is called news:alt.pets.cats.health+behav So basically, you want the cat...

Furface passed away at about 3:55 EST this afternoon. He was a a good companion for over 14 years. I can't believe how much I miss him already. I plan to bury him in the morning. I am going to put him beside the patio. He loved to sit on a chair there in the summer and "survey" his...

"Bobcat" wrote in message ... "Flippy" wrote in message ... Hi all, Sorry for cross-posting to so many newsgroups. I just wanted to share...

First off, I would like to say that I am new here, and after spending hours and hours on the net, I have not found an answer to either of my questions. First question is: At what age do a male cats' testicles "drop"? Long story, but basically I am new to cats, and would like to know...

A cat adopted from the streets, Howard was in poor shape. One ear had been destroyed by mites, he had a raging infection on his neck which threatened his life. His former owners cast him out for spraying, not realizing that neutering would help. Dying, but still willing to admit the help of...

Our orange tabby cat, Buster, has had a recurring fungus problem, which is getting worse and not been able to be cured. The fungus is in his paws. It is black, crusty and Buster tries to lick it, dropping pieces of the fungus. It is not life-threatening but seems to be painful. Over the last...

Hi all. This is probably a stupid question for some of you who know drugs and interactions, reactions but I thought I'd ask. Shamrock has an appt tomorrow night for his FeLV booster (necessary living with a FeLV+ cat) and he's due for a dental but I'm not scheduling them together so we'll schedule...

I just ran across this while looking something up for another group. They now carry flavorings to mix with meds for your pets! :D http://www.flavorx.com/ HTH someone... -L.

Well, it's been a bit over a month sincy Mingy was hospitalized amd found to have struvite crystals. Since then, I have been trying to get him to eat wet food, and I have not been too successful. In fact, I have been close to despair about that and his not eating much in general since then. (The...

This makes me sick. I cannot fathom the mind of the *******s that did this. A question though... I wonder about the mother of the kittens. Wouldn't she NEED to nurse? Wouldn't she fret over the loss of kittens so young their eyes were not even open? I would love to pass sentence on the people...
