It's smalll, and a little bloody, We let him outside, but should I be worried?

I see these very expensive scratching posts at Petsmart. I was thinking of making my own scratchin post for our new cats. Does carpet really provide a scratching post for the cats? These things they sell look like fun toys for the cat but do they really provide a scrathin post. I thought they...

The time has come for us to open our hearts to some kitties who need a permanent home. It has been a long time since we adopted cats, and they have always been kittens. This time, we would like to adopt two adult cats together, preferably two who have been companions. I have never adopted adult...

We had a litter of 5 kittens dumped at the shelter yesterday. They were left in a carrier with a pillow in front of the carrier (so we wouldn't see them? not sure what the pillow was for) at the fence. They range in size from 3 lbs to 1 lbs, all have conjunctivitis and URI. The two...

Get it? You don't. You take them to the ****ing vet. You FIND the money. If you're posting here, I know you're paying for Internet, probably highspeed,and that you probably have a ****ing computer you could hock. You do not "wait and see" and go buy yourself this week's groceries. You do not...

Our 2 year old tom has starting having trouble peeing and when he does manage it he seems to use anywhere but the tray. He's constantly trying go and wondering around the house crying. He was previously diagnosed with cystitis (he was passing small amounts of blood in his urine) and given...

I have a 13 yr old male cat. A blood test on him (1st time the cat had a blood test) tells that an enzyme in his blood is very high due to the pancreas not working properly, possibly pancreatic cancer. The normal level for this enzyme is 300-1100, his level has varied during his 3 blood tests from...

Have a lovely affectionate INDOOR kitten named Nika. Only one real problem. Somehow, somewhere she picked up ringworms. I'm about ready to give up. Just when I think it's under control it seems to spread. Eschew Obfuscation.

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.

Hi, I would like to get a perch for her Highness to look out the back window of our house. She has many options for the front but there is only one window that would be possible for backyard viewing and it's in the small dining area. I have seen some perches for around $20.00 in my Drs Foster and...

Well, things are trundling along slowly but surely here. We've started using a spray bottle and by god Henry respects its authoritah..All I need to do is put it on the ground between him and the other cats and he calms right down. Anyway, Louis is relaxed enough to play (cautiously) in the...

I am facing a real dilemma with a stray cat that hangs out near my apartment complex. He's part of a local trap-neuter-return program. I had decided to adopt him because some of the people who live here hate cats and have made threats to harm them. He likes people so I figured he'd be the easiest...

To preface, I'm a great believer in vaccinations for both pets and people. However.... My indoor only cat has a reaction to rabies vaccines. When I got her, at about 11 weeks, I took her in for the last of her kitten shots (if I remember correctly). She developed a lump at the injection site. I...

My fur baby Chaplin is getting old. He's a large-boned Ragdoll who turns 14 this September and weighs around 12 lbs. Down from 16lbs last year. This past year has been hard on him. Some of you may remember about the lump in his tail I asked about. It's still there and I did have it aspirated. The...

to combat the shedding? I have four indoor only cats - and my 2 males shed like crazy all year round - the more I brush them, the more they shed (or so it seems) - my house is becoming covered with cat hair. I don't have dust bunnies anymore, I have dust elephants fueled by the cat hair - I can't...
