I love these things. They have catnip and some have crackly stuff in them. Our latest: Hillary Clinton and Arnold Schwarzenegger. :) (Petsmart was out of George Bush, and Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich have been retired. Bummer!) Being a true Democrat, I got both so I could see which way my cats...

OK, the Western blot test showed up today. FIV positive. Damn. Now I know this is not an immediate death sentence I am nonetheless not happy. I am a firm believer in holistic remedies - they work. I am going to get into nutritional therapy for this guy. I've been advised that Wellness brand of...

I picked up 2 young (~5 months) domestic short hair cats 3 weeks ago and they do periodically clean themselves, but they never seem to do so right after using the litter box. This becomes more of a problem when a cat is having soft stools as a small amount tends to stick around on the cat's rear...

Just found abnormal secretion (in yellow semi-fluid) in the cat's eye in these 2 days, w/ the left eye more serious. He had similar sympton 1 yr. ago & veterinarian proved that it's virus-infected , some kind of flu. This time he has no other apparent flu symptons. Anybody can help to tell what's...

Cat still not eating much. Got the full blood test today and the results show, according to the vet, a liver infection that is also affecting the kidneys. He gave us a pill to give once a day that is supposed to help the liver(Denosyl). Also special food to give the cat. Waltham's Renal...

I guess I'm hoping someone will talk me out of it.. It's been almost three months now, and given the chance, Henry tears off after our little bengal, Louis. Louis is pretty beat up after the last attack, where they ended up under a bed and it took us a few moments to separate. What options do I...

Hi Group, Hope you can give me some advice. About a month ago I took in a cat that had once belonged to someone I know. She had pretty-much stopped caring for the cat. I felt bad and took the cat into my care. When I got the cat she was very thin and had an abscess on her behind. It is near...

My two cats, who have lived together for 6 years, started fighting 2 months ago (we don't know why). We kept them separated, tried to re-introduce them, but nothing works. Basically, the male cat is stalking the female and doesn't let her move around the house. (Both are neutered.) 3 weeks ago,...

Jackie Cat has a WBC count of 51,000 and normal is up to 16,000. Can an infection cause such a high count, or is this likely leukemia? That is the only abnormal test. Physically, she has constant diarrhea and has since I got her about 3 months ago.

My cat is male and about 13 years old. About 2 weeks ago he started having diarrhea with really watery eyes (might not be related...about 4 times a year he'll get the runny eyes for about a week). He also licks himself "down there" so much that he's lost hair on his tail. Since then we've taken...

Master K - I was just looking over the newsgroup before posting a very similar problem. If you managed to figure anything out, please let me know! -- We have four cats of varying ages. Our eldest female (around 8-9 years) has also spontaneously abandoned the litter boxes and now does...

any ideas on where to find a plastic container thats 22"x22+? (we can go up to 22x30 or so) suitable for a litterbox? we're adding an extra member to the family shortly and would like to expand the bathroom :). thanks!

she bites because she's playing, and hasn't learned that you don't like it. you have taught her that it is ok and fun to be bitten. Next time she bites you. stop all movement till she lets go, then put her on the floor and ignore her. Eventually she'll learn that you don't like it. If you do...

I have a 6 year old female spayed siamese. Today I happened to look down the hall she was in the middle of the hall, and she just squatted and pooped, she wasn't upset about anything, just calmly pooped "a lot" a walked away. The poop looked normal, but I have no idea, why she did this. Any...

I have a neutered male cat. He was really a happy cat until we got a new kitten(I work at Lowes and found her all the way on the top racks in a box). He was pretty good with her when we first got her, didn't really care that she was around. But as she's getting bigger he seems to be getting...

He was born on April 18th,2004. When should I neuter him?

I want to weigh my cats periodically. I have been shopping online for baby scales and pet scales. I have found mechanical scales for $50 to $60, and digital / electronic scales for $120 to $150 and up. My main concern is getting an accurate weight while my cat is moving around on the scale. ...
