Exposure to heartworms and an evil cat by
No1
How are heartworms transmitted?
I'm concerned about this as we have had to move in with my in-laws. They
have two dogs that they don't take to the vet often and both have heartworms
and I'm not 100% sure they're given their medicine. Here's the issue, can
it be transmitted via drinking bowls? ...

I Have To Ask This... by
Luvskats00
After my cat deficates he drags his rump across the floor. I'm so tempted to
hand him toilet paper. I am running after him with Mr. Clean. Anyone else have
a cat that does this?

Cats refusing to eat after long distance move...... by
Matt
As some of you remember I posted some time ago about moving cats from
Europe to the US. Well, the good news is that both cats made it OK.
However, they are somewhat traumatized -- both cats refuse to eat. My
female will eat a little bit but only when I sit down and handfeed
her, she will not eat...

He's Diabetic! by
tk
Whew! Just found out my long time buddy, 12 year old Rocky, is diabetic.
Looks like a rough road ahead.for both of us.
Picking him up from the vet hospital in a few minutes. Is this a good
support group for us, or could someone point us to other groups on this
subject?. Thanks, Tom

Peeper's Ultrasound Results by
Larry Osborne
Well I finally got Peepers in for his Ultrasound, delayed somewhat by a
heart attack of my own.
The results indicate some very slight thickening of the walls and Septa(?
hope I have that right) and some turbulence in the right ventricle if I
remember correctly as to side. The shocker was his very...

Litter box too small? by
[email protected]
I was wondering why the cat wasn't burying her waste.
This morning I saw what was happening. After she goes, she makes all
the motions of burying, but she does it on the rim of the litterbox.
She sat there for five minutes trying to "bury" her waste by clawing,
scooping, and scratching the...

Grandcat Trouble by
Sherry
OK, here's one for all of you.
I am babysitting the grandcat for two weeks. We've had no problems with
integration, probably because my old cats are pretty well accustomed to
occasional interlopers by now.
This cat is about 6 months old, an orange tabby, and he is a wild child. His
least endearing...

Strange changes in blood glucose level by
Newsman
My cat Al is diabetic.
A week ago last Monday I took Al to the vet for a teeth cleaning. After
coming home, Al was lethargic and his appetite steadily diminished to
the point where I couldn't give him his insulin. I took him back to the
vet last Saturday and he was admitted to the hospital where...

Cat and the holidays by
afr
I think that most cats prefer to be on their own turf--provided they feel
safe and comfortable with the person who looks in on them.

tail twitching by
Nowan
My two-year old inside/outside cat has gradually developed a twitch in
his tail.
While his tail is held up, he will twitch it by rotating it along its
axis. Possibly with a slight side-to-side twitch of his hindquarters.
This looked a little bit like spraying behavior, but without the
spraying. ...

How much can I starve my diabetic cat ? by
Roger12751
My diabetic cat weighs about 19 lbs when his ideal weight
is about 16 lbs or less.
According to the instruction on the Purina DM bag, a cat
weighing between 17 and 20 lbs should get 108-144 g of
food per day.
If I give him 108 g of Purina DM per day he would still keep
gaining weight. If I give...

Runt w/ Defective Intestines by
Chris Cooper
My daughter _had_ to have the "little" kitten. You know, the one half the
size of all the others. The runt.
Well, turns out he has some sort of rather unpleasant intestinal thing going
on. Left to his own devices, he has constant diarrhea and the poor thing
walks around with his back feet...

Is my cat schizophrenic? (Strange behavior) by
Jamie Gareth
Hello All,
I'm new to the cat game and to this newsgroup so forgive me if what I
ask seems obvious or overasked. My cat is about 1 1/2 years old now
and exhibits strange behaviors. One moment he'll seek out my company
and rub up against me or sleep in my lap and the next moment he's
almost afraid...

Dry food and drinking at the same time by
Cheryl
If a cat who will only eat dry food (good quality food) also drinks at the
same time, ie eats some then drinks, then eats more, then drinks... isn't
that close to the same as eating wet food, as far as their body knows?
I've observed this with Bonnie and she even dribbles dry food into the
water...

Christmas Trees by
Iain & Deb
It may be time to try to tie up the tree. We have an artificial tree,
about 6 ft. tall, and Jezebel is the first cat I've had in a long time
who wants to climb it! She's just 2 1/2, and she and Phantom are the
first young cats we've had for many years, so I'm just not used to having

Garlic as flea repellant? (or, "o/~Smelly cat, smelly cat.... o/~ ) by

Sorry, couldn't resist.
While at the vet last night with a handful (!) of ten week old kittens,
one thing we discussed was the idea of using more natural means of
treating the kids' more common maladies - and amongst these, there was one
I heard about a while ago about feeding cats garlic. (The...
