I have to give my cat his dose of flea drops every month but he absolutely hates it and will just run away when he realises whats going on. He basically hates any fluid, plus the drops also seem to irritate his eyes. I've tried various different methods of giving them to him, without any...

How do you go about leash training a cat? I tried putting one on Boots. He lay down and refused to move. W

Hello all.. Well this is it... Misha is 64 days pregnant and her habbits are changing the past couple of days. She is more quiet, doesn't seem to know exactly what she wants.. doesn't go downstairs so much (so I put a litter box upstairs for her)... She is seeking for my presence a lot. It feels...

I posted earlier about training my two 7 month old kitties to use the commode. The overwhelming response was to discourage it. I am now in agreement with this opinion and I will continue them with the litter box. However, my curiosity remains. Has anyone tried this and found that it was a...

I just wanted everyone to know that we did put Nic to sleep earlier today. Even within the span of two days he had slipped further downhill...this morning he was staggering so badly he nearly fell over. He wouldn't eat or drink or acknowledge any of us...he was just so sad. We sat him with...

Hi, I adopted a beautiful little rumpy manx (no tail whatsoever) from a Florida Humane Society 2 months ago. He is 13 months old and not very coordinated at all. He is otherwise very healthy, has fine litterbox habits, has been to the vet and has a clean bill of health. From the sparse details...

Well in a couple of days it'll be Isis' birthday. I have decided to get her Seabiscuit on DVD because she would enjoy watching it and of course probably get into all the movement of the horse races. Does anyone else here besides me get movies, music and other gifts for their cat's birthday? I could...

I've been trimming the cat's front claws regularly, and it's fairly easy (although she's squirmy). But I can't get the rear done. She squirms and goes nuts, and finally starts biting and scratching.. What methods do you use to get this done?

The latest addition to my family of wife, 3 cats and a puppy is a male kitten about 14wks old. He's a mixed breed but looks very much like the Aurkish Angora- longhaired, white, blue-eyed, hearing. I don't know much about his history except that he was abused by his previous owners. He came to us...

OK, the new rescue, Biskit. She has an appointment to be spayed on Wed. I had put it off because she is in heat, and still quite thin, but am going to go ahead and do it because her behavior is just so pitiful and she's hell-bent to get outdoors. Here are the questions: 1) Do female cats...

I have a beutiful brown spotted Bengal who is gorgeous and I love him to bits, but he has one habit that is driving me crazy. I have a window that I have put venetian blinds on so I can see my computer screen better on sunny days. Even though the cat always had a window he preferred to look out...

Hello, please sorry my english but i am not an english native speaker. My cat arrived yesterday morning at home and went to sleep... it was strange because everyday morning he arrives the first thing he wants is food. Ok he went to sleep and when he woke up he throw up 4 ou 5 times... i can't...

Can anyone point me to information regarding service cats for people with severe depression/anxiety? WA state (if that matters)

I've had Cat-Boy now for about three months. He's settled into his new home and is very normal and happy. He has a lot of Maine Coon in him, so his fur is not only long, but very dense. At a casual glance he looks fat, but not after you pick him up and realize that there is way more hair than...

Hi. My 14-year-old cat has arthritis in his lumbar spine and a meniscal knee tear or chip. The vet gave me some glucosamine, a large tablet size, to mash up in his food. However, he won't eat his food with it in there, doesn't like the taste. Remidyl (sp?) is not available for cats or I would try...

Otoh, while the French have "my little cabbage", this side of the Atlantic does have "pumpkin"... Heh. I call my goddaughter "my little pumpkin pie". When she gets old enough to comprehend that, I think I'll have to come up with something different. G Laura Getting back to cats... :-) I...

Cat 1 year old has all her shots, in the past couple days has started sneezing and has mucus up her nose and she is sniffling. Have cleaned her nose with warm washcloth periodically and that seems to help her breathing. She's eating well but not as playful as usual. Could it be allergies? The...

I've got a black female mixed-breed shorthair 6yo, indoor only, that I've had since she was just about six weeks old. For the last handful of months - starting about the time I moved, actually - she's been slowly but gradually overgrooming a few spots on her body. (Specifically, the inside of her...

My 10 yr. old cat has had a problem with his anal sacs for about 18 months now. They fill up with fluid and he starts scooting around the carpet after using the litter box. He also sometimes cries when he comes out of the box as if he is in pain. We have been bringing him to the vet every 3...
