Anybody have cats that will run a treadmill or a wheel? Any other suitable-to-the-boss ways of getting them some exercise? Bubba's getting to be a bit of a fatass at 22Lbs and reducing his food only seems to go so far, plus it ruins his normally sunny disposition when the food dish goes empty.

Hi all, I need some hints on the best way handle the cat while cutting his claws. He is still skiddish and still will not go near my husband - so this will be a one lady job. :O) Thanks Danielle

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...

Seems like everybody has a website these days, so I was curious how many people in this newsgroup had sites they'd like to share? :)

Dmitri sometimes misses his litter box by a fraction of an inch, and shoots all over the floor. If I happen to be in there when he's going and see that he's missing, I can physically push his rear into position and all is fine, but you can imagine the messes. So I had gone online to find out how...

That's why we spay most of our kittens before they go out to their new home. Find a vet who will spay her now, unless there are actual health concerns (and not her age). The youngest we've seen a kitten in heat was 3 months, soon after her adoption. At that time, we weren't insisting on "early"...

From the San Jose Mercury News... "The Bush administration is proposing far-reaching changes to conservation policies that would allow hunters, circuses and the pet industry to kill, capture and import animals on the brink of extinction in other countries. Giving Americans access to endangered...

Looking at her website (www.puppykats.com) in one of the photos, she has some kind of shack behind her that she keeps the cats in. Sounds like a cat/puppy mill :( Sad too when she sells one of these "puppykats" and it doesn't live up to what someone expects, then what will happen to it. (my own...

Tee shirts also allow you to be far more creative than a simple invitation by card. If there is going to be a band performing at your birthday party, put a picture of the band on the shirt with their logo. If you are looking to have a beach themed party, create a shirt full of color with palm trees...

I've noticed that one of the flavors of cat litter I can get (I use Arm & Hammer) calls itself "Multicat". Given that I'm about to be a multicat owner, I'm curious what the difference is between that and "ordinary" litter. I have seen that the texture of the granules is noticeably different, but...

I took in a stray semi-feral cat over 2 months ago. She lived for 6 weeks in our basement separated from my other 2 male cats. The other 2 cats knew something was going on and could sense the new cat behind the door and occasionally heard her. When it was time to introduce the new cat to the...

My 7 year old female cat, Dirty Face has red showing thru her white fur on her nose. Last Aug. when I took her for her annual shots I mentioned it to the vet. He said to put Neosporin on it. It didn't help. Then it was just red between the eyes now it's down her nose. What on earth could cause...

My cats will often, both while fighting with a piece of paper and when just walking down the hall, look up at a bare wall and jump about two feet off the floor and take off as if I had caught them stealing off the dinner table. It's like they saw something that startled them that was not visible...

I have an 8-year old male cat who has been putting on some weight the past few years. He weighed in at 14 pounds his last vet visit in April and was put on a diet (weight control dry Iams, 1/2 cup a day). He initially adjusted well to his new diet, but since we moved a month ago he has been...

Hi, I have recently adopted a small stray cat, hoping that she will make my older 7 year old cat more playful. Unfortunatly, I have discovered that she has tons of energy and rarely sits down. Whenever somebody is at the door she comes running, she climbs until she gets right under the ceiling,...

I was wondering what was better for cats, bio spot or frontline? My house was infested with fleas (I rent and it was the previous owner's fault) and even though I had an exterminator in here last week, my cats had a flea bath but both the house and cats are still crawling with fleas. We're...
