Is Your Cat Left-Handed? by FirstHit
I thought the following article was interesting: http://www.pawnation.com/2009/08/05/cats-have-favored-paws/ In a nutshell, they contend that female cats tend to be righties, and the males tend to be lefties. I wonder if that applies to their politics as well as their "pawedness." :-) FirstHit

Human meat for cats? by Stan Brown
On vet's advice I've changed Milo to an all-can diet. But I wonder about giving him some real meat as a treat, because the canned food isn't chewy. So -- pros and cons of real meat or shellfish as an occasional treat? And if okay, raw or cooked? -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins...

Blood around the house - which cat? by dgk
There are quite a few areas of the house with dried blood drops around. A friend feeding the cats on the last day before I got home noticed them in one area. At least that means it didn't come from Espy since he was staying at the vet. But it looks like either Marlo or Nipsy (or the cat sitter!)...

Wet Food by JP
Our cats seem to like a combination of wet food and dry food. What are some of the better wet foods widely available that offer good nutritional value? Currently they are eating Fancy Feast, which I understand is not the best wet food by any means. If anyone knows about this, can you...

Espy not eating by dgk[_2_]
He doesn't eat a whole lot anyway but this morning he wouldn't eat his normal ProlPlan Salmon and Rice (wet). Nor would he eat his favoirte dry food (Royal Canin #26 I think). Worse, he wouldn't eat the yellow Temptations - everyone's favorite. I was going to post this morning but instead I took...

My cat is "thinking outside the box" by James Egan[_2_]
I have a 17 year old male cat named Chip. He started peeing and pooping all around the house. He seemed lethargic, so I took him to the Vet, thinking that he had a urinary tract infection. They gave him a 2-week injection of anti-biotic. After two weeks, he was still pooping and peeing all...

Diagnosing/treating your cat yourself by jmc
I had a thought last night, as I was paying the $200+ vet bill. I've a cat with known cystitis. This time it caused a UTI. Since this is diagnosed by looking at the urine for crystals, white blood cells and red blood cells, I was wondering if anyone's ever just done this themselves? Got a...

tube of cat by Hactar
I'm looking at enough of these to make a series of cat-tunnels: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=16126 Does anyone have one? It'd suck to drop $35 on one and have it die after a use or two. So: How small is the screen (housefly, mosquito, midge/no-see-um)? How...

rabies shots, 1-yr or 3-yr? by calvin
I've always (for the past 10 years) had 1-year rabies shots for my cats, for three reasons: 1) I'm afraid, without knowing the answer, that the 3-yr shot causes a cat more discomfort, for a longer period of time, than the 1-yr shot. Is this true? 2) I think it's good for the vet to see all of...

Why is FeLV contagious? by calvin
Is it a virus? How contagious is it? Is one drink from the same water bowl likely to be enough to catch it? Is a cat that catches it likely to die within two months, while the carrier lives on? Thanks for any answers.

Outside cat is a real yowler by dgk
I started giving this outside kitty some food - mostly leftovers from my brood. Cute, predominantly black with the tips of his front feet white and white socks on the rear legs. The chest and underside of his throat is white and it carries up to his mouth so the whole face is black except the white...

Sub-q fluids expiration question by Jo
Is it ok to use the same bag for more than 5 weeks? Or should I have stopped using it weeks ago? Someone told me that they go bad after 10-14 days. The vet never said anything about that. I just wanted to know in case the vet says something different when I call to ask about it.
