Ping Phil P. by
bonbon
It's been quite a while since I've been reading the cat news groups.
I'm so pleased to see that you're still posting. I looked for you in
alt.cats, and Matthew kindly directed me here. Hope all is well with
you and your pooties.
We're down to 8 now......sadly, we lost 2 to cancer. All but 1...

Sammy's Sick! by
CatNipped
I'm so sick about this - I can't stop kicking myself, I should have caught
this *SO* much sooner!
I saw that Sammy had thrown up a prodigious amount in the garage when I woke
up this morning. As has been said in other posts, Sammy has been living
under my bed for almost 5 weeks now. When I...

PING: Phil or anyone with anemic cats by
Rona Y.
I received the following email from my brother:
begin paste----
Shiro is in the hospital. He has severe anemia, extremely low
hematocrit levels. We've pumped almost $2000 in tests but so far the
tests - liver, kidney, viral, radiological views - all show a healthy
cat. The vet is puzzled as to...

Update on Sammy by
CatNipped
Sammy's diarrhea is worse today - I watched her using the litterbox and it's
liquid. Her butt is sore (just like a human with diarrhea) and her licking
it is making it more sore. I talked with the vet and she said for today to
use Vaseline on her butt just like you would a baby with diaper rash. ...

Managing a cat with cystitis by
jmc
For those of you who have cats that sometimes have bouts of acute cystitis:
What do you do when you start noticing signs that suggest your cat's
becoming uncomfortable? Is it off to the vet right then, or do you have
a vet-approved way of dissolving the crystals or whatever before they
become...

Curly toes by
cybercat
Every morning, when she hears me stir and begin to wake, Gracie jumps down
from the screened window where she has been watching the birds and greets
me, talking to me while she scratches her scratch pad, head down, paws
extended, butt high and long tail curling above.
After some petting she...

16 Year Old Cat by
[email protected]
Well, he has been given cat milk since he was a baby and for the last
16 years he has had it every morning. I did not give him any today.
We also give him aspirin for his bones, per our vet. I noticed that
when we gave him the aspirin, he would get sick. I stopped giving him
the aspirin and he...

16 Year Old Cat by

Well again everyone, Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Everything you have given me is so very useful! I'm going to stop
giving him the aspirin. He seems to be a lot better without it. You
guys ROCK! Thank God for places like this, so we can all lean from
everyone.

16 Year Old Cat by
[email protected]
Thank you so much for the advise! I did call another place and they
told me to try wet food. He is drinking a lot of water and his cat
milk, so he's ok in that department. He did eat some but not as much
as I had hoped and so far he has kept it down. He's also sleeping a
lot! I do have a nephew...

Cat can tell when nursing home residents will die by
Brian Link
Haven't done a ton of back-research on this, but the article is
alarming, and from a non-tabloid source, apparently.
Most of us folks who follow companion animal news have bumped into
stories about seizure-sensing dogs and cats, as well as animals that
can "smell" cancer. In that context, this is...

Ot Big Cat joke of the day by
Matthew
Torn-up
A guy was visiting his friend in the hospital who was "all torn up."
"What happened?" he asked.
"Well, we were hunting the Mumba snake. It has yellow and black
stripes. It likes to sun itself lying across a pathway in the jungle.
You catch it by grabbing the tip of its tail with one hand...

Cat scratching by
Charley's human
My cat, Charley, wears soft claws, and that prevents him from damaging
all the furniture in my house except for one sofa with rather soft
fabric. To get attention, he "chooses" to scratch this sofa and of
course, it works every time! ;-) I go over and shoo him away or try
to distract with...

Could go ether way. After 7 months with my evil rescue kitten, I can
believe anything.

Need orphan kitten advice by
lisacat
I'm caring for three orphan kittens about 10 days old. The feeding is
going well and they have gained weight steadily. They did develop the
sniffles over the weekend and were fussy and stubborn with nursing but
that is improving... I can be stubborn too! My question is, one of the
boys seems to...

Crying Uncle - MEW!! by
CatNipped
If you have a kitten that is "play" fighting with you, biting or scratching
or any acts of aggression (even if it's playful), you've *GOT* to stop that
while she's a kitten - an adult cat can savage you and send you to the ER
doing the same thing that's cute in a kitten. Break that habit...
