Well, I went to PetSmart to get Jack some food and they were having an adoption thing from a humane shelter (kill shelter). I had never once allowed myself to stop and look before, but this time, I was just drawn to the front cage. I really wanted a boy cat and asked if they had any boys, but they...

Have 2 cats, male & female. All of a sudden, like a screeching halt, after months of eating any hard food of any price level I gave them, they suddenly refuse to eat anything at all except soft food. A few days ago we couldn't find the stash of hard food we had on hand, and picked up a small can...

MaryL, I don't know if you saw my post about the horrible trouble we're having introducing a new cat into our household. Somebody who responded to that post said you had some first-hand experience with that, and if so we'd appreciate any input you could give us. As an update, we have Moses...

I want to weigh my cats periodically. I have been shopping online for baby scales and pet scales. I have found mechanical scales for $50 to $60, and digital / electronic scales for $120 to $150 and up. My main concern is getting an accurate weight while my cat is moving around on the scale. ...

Hi. My wife has lost two cats in the last few years that just ran away and never returned. So she is really concerned that our current indoor cat Brittney will flee now that she has gone out the doggie door a couple of times. We are currently locking the doggie door while she has full reign of the...

The woman in the video found this wounded lion that almost died in the jungle. She took him to her home and took care of him until he got better. When the lion rebounded, she called a zoo and made some arrangements for it to be taken away and to provide a new home, where it could continue to...

There is a point in "The Godfather" by M. Puzo where one of the characters says, "I tried to live within the system, but the system failed me. Now, for justice, I must go to Don Corleone." That is what has happened here. I believe this can be avoided, in the future, if the participants in these...

Hello. Any help will be appreciated. I have 5 cats. All have been neutered/spayed. I have one cat (male) who is apparently being bitten behind one of his ears. I haven't seen the culprit who is doing it to him. I am giving first aid to him, and it starts to heal and then he apparently gets it...

Yesterday my pint-size Calico was being harassed by my usually timid and fun male cat. The hard-core feral was near him. He jumped on the front end of the Calico and the feral immediately jumped on her backend. Of course I stopped it. The feral is worthless as a pet, so that stuff won't be...

I decided since my cats loved this laser pointer so much I would try it with my dog just to see what he thought. He didn't even seem to notice it he just kept running around with his tennis ball in his mouth ignoring the red dot. I tried it for awhile but he just didn't seem to care. :)

I just got back from my vet a few hours ago who determined that my cat has a large abdominal tumor, says it's definitely advanced and combined with other symptoms (loss of appetite - I could only get her to eat about a tablespoon of wet food this morning - fever and listlessness) is recommending I...

My cat has developed a cough and the vet and thought it may be the silica dust from the litter. The x-ray did not show anything serious. He was given Prednisolone which helped for a while then the cough and wheeze started up again. I tried the wheat litter Swheat only they licked the dust off of...

My cat - an abandoned stray - is truely lovable towards me in the middle of the night and first thing in the morning. We always thought she hated my husband and all men (as displayed by her action of running out of the door and away to hide everytime) but today I was with her in the morning and...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking and you all seem to be so helpful to those who need advice and I really need some. For about two weeks now, our whole family has been miserable. We have an indoor cat (no other animals) who has fleas. It is getting worse. Our legs are full of flea bites, my kids wake...

Any ideas where to look for an independent lab to test some cat food for nutrient content? Found a couple sites online that do FDA labels for people food, but those places are awfully expensive. Maybe I should call my local university vet hospital...? Thanks, Corey

There is a sweet cat I am interested in at the shelter. The cat looks emaciated. She is sickly right now and is not very energetic, but she is eating and I hope she will put on weight. If the cat gains weight and starts appearing to be healthier, I wonder if she will be plagued with health...

Does anyone else have a cat who goes nuts over the smell of Altoids? I have a friend who eats Altoids. When she comes over, my cat goes nuts - he goes to her and starts nuzzling around her pockets very persistantly trying to find the source of the smell. It's gotten to the point that even if she...
