time"

New Adopt a Cat Shirt-Great Message! by
AnimalLover
Greetings Everyone! Like most of you, I am concerned about the number
of stray cats and the many cats waiting in cages to be adopted. A
recent volunteer trip to our local shelter left me shocked and saddened
at the statistics. I have started making "Adopt a Cat" shirts, along
with "Adopt a Dog"...

blocked cat--- how much does your vet charge for this? by
animzmirot
My 8 year old male cat was blocked when I woke up this morning. A trip to
the emergency vet later, we got an estimate of between $1250 and $1650 to
unblock him (with anesthesia), catheterize him, 2 overnights in the
hospital, antibiotics, and an analysis of his urine to determine what kind
of...

Two sets of opposing nails per toe??? by
animzmirot
We have a cat who has regular nails at the top of his toes on his front
paws, and then a second set of nails going in the opposing direction on the
bottom of his toes (curling up from the pad). The bottom set is dark brown
and has no discernable point to indicate where they should be cut. The...

The cat is NOT AMUSED by
animzmirot
We're fostering a puppy for a while for an agency that brings puppies up
north for adoption events. We brought the puppy home and Ringo went
ballistic. OK, his home has been invaded by aliens, I get that. But geesh,
couldn't he even try to get along? The first half hour was pretty hairy,
with...

how much does your cat pee in a day? by
animzmirot
Ringo is peeing once a day. It's a good sized pee, but is that enough? He's
drinking, he's eating, he seems fine except for the damn sneezing, but I
can't recall whether he peed more when his person was home, or if he's
stressed and not peeing as much. He does seem to be sleeping more, but I'm
not...

Cat pining for his main squeeze by
animzmirot
My daughter is at camp for a month, and Ringo is having a very hard time of
it. I'm not sure how to cheer him up. He is moping around, sleeping on her
bed and not wanting to leave it, and otherwise ignoring all other family
members. He's her cat, but what are the rest of us, chopped liver? What...

Sneezing, need quick response please by
animzmirot
Ringo started sneezing non-stop about an hour ago. Nothing coming out, eyes
aren't runny, no discharge anywhere, but he's just sneezing and sneezing.
The ONLY thing that has been different about him is that today he went into
the kitchen garbage and pulled out the plastic top to a cottage...

He had us in hysterics by
animzmirot
My 12 yo DD came home today with a wicked sunburn after a day at the beach.
She was so uncomfortable that she put on one of my (ahem) large nightgowns
and was sitting on the sofa when Ringo jumped up into her lap. The nightgown
was much larger than she is, and one of her boobs was sticking out the...

Question about solo cats vs multiples by
animzmirot
I've had several cats, but they've always been solo cats. I tried once to
add a kitten to the mix, but the addition was unsuccessful and I lost a good
sofa in the battles. The kitten went to live with a friend and has had a
nice happy life, also as a solo kitten.
I have been thinking about getting...

Question regarding catnip vs catmint by
animzmirot
We've got a huge catmint plant in the garden. Ringo likes to lay down in it,
and fall fast asleep. He definately feels that this is HIS plant and if any
cat goes wandering through our yard (we have several acres of lawn very far
from any street, but we do have neighbors with cats) he can't wait to...

Can someone please solve this mystery? Ringo is currently mostly an indoor
