Our newest cat, Chloe, has more or less been integrated into the household. It's not the outcome I would have wanted - she and the other cats keep their distance - but there's no killing. Well, not much. Chloe has always had some behavioral problems, possibly related to her declawing. 90% of the...

I seem to have adopted a stray cat who has been hanging around my house for some time. He is very thin and I have been feeding him outside but, as I have had a week off work, I have realised that he is also coming into the house via the cat flap and eating all my cats food. I don't really mind...

Wilber asked: Are there any other animals he comes into contact with? Some vets will advise that the rabies shots aren't necessary for an indoor cat who's the only animal in an apartment or house. There is another cat - Amber. She is 11 and also never goes out. I could leave the door...

There was one query last week, which I can't find. Eli is the 14 year old black cat who suddenly stopped eating. Vet cleaned teeth, did all manner of blood tests and X-rays. He's in good humor, affectionate, but just won't eat. S.O. gets him to lap up a little Boost, and sometimes lick some beef...

According to the vet, they hydrated him with liquids and gave him some medicine that is supposed to work over a two week period but I'm concerned since he refuses to eat anything at all, is losing weight and is very listless. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of trying to feed him with a syringe...

Our cat Tux is just shy of a year old. For quite a few months now we have noticed a claw-like growth on his paws. It doesn't seem to be causing him pain, so we haven't been in a rush to take him to the vet. However, it has been getting a little bigger over the months, and one of the growths look...

Good news! I wrote some time ago about the two kitties I was "sponsoring" by paying for vetting, innoculations and spay/neuter (a male and a female). The little male was adopted almost immediately -- although the ideal would have been for them to be adopted as a pair -- and the little female...

Cat has reddened upper corner of eyelid and upper white part of eye. Squinting partially, minimal discharge, no obvious other damage to eye that I can see visually. Probably diagnosis from what I have read is conjunctivitis. Options for home treatment a Neomycin & Polymixin B sulfate zinc &...

Last summer we brought our 9 year old cat in to the vet because she was having trouble climbing stairs and jumping up to her favorite spots. At the time of the exam, the vet said he thought he heard a very faint heart murmur. He thought it was insignificant, but since he was doing x-rays of her...

My mother looks after several stray cats in Turkey where she lives. One of them has a constant red discharge from one side of his mouth which looks like dried blood. His gums are also bright red. He's only about 6 months old. She took him to the local vet who said it was a vitamin deficiency and to...

Or at least very, very near-sighted. At 16, I guess that's not all that unusual. She's been to the vet recently and is in great health otherwise, so this isn't the result of an illness, just age. She doesn't seem to be bothered by it, the only reason I noticed is that she doesn't look me in...

I have a 10 year old tortoiseshell cat who is very small. I also have 2 great big monster tom cats living 2 doors down from me. My cat is well loved and respected in our family however she cannot leave the house in fear for her life. These tom cats take it in turns to sit outside her cat flap and...

Meine kleinen Kätzchen spielen gern im Sonnenschein. Sie rollen auf dem Boden und dem Schnurren. Ich singe zu ihnen und sie lächeln an mir. Ich fühle so gut, wenn sie dies machen. Jedoch, wie oft sie soll, werden erlaubt, in der Sonne zu spielen. Vielleicht werden sie heiß werden oder haben...

We have a Manx long hair cat, Fred. I noticed that he is losing hair in a spot on his back hip. I thought that it might be mange ,but there is no scaling. Does anybody have any idea what is going on?

My 6 month old kitten, Chablis, has gone through a REAL growth spurt in the last month or so. She was adopted from a shelter (&was scrawny & unhealthy when I got her). Is a tuxedo black & white, med hair, has curled fur extending from her ears (like a lynx) & has very long, slightly curved eyebrow...

Good morning. I was wondering...I have a kitten that's 6 months old and a 10 year old cat. The older cat has been eating the higher calorie food for the kitten. Our local vet said it's o.k. to give both cats the same food..the one that the older cat eats..Iams weight/ hairball control...the cat...
