Hi all, I need some hints on the best way handle the cat while cutting his claws. He is still skiddish and still will not go near my husband - so this will be a one lady job. :O) Thanks Danielle

Very irritating: We use a Petmate waterer for our cats. The new one which is now about 3 months old has started leaking just like the previous one we finally replaced, due to a pump fail and the fact that stores don't keep replacement pumps. This can't be brain surgery... it seems there are but...

To Gail, Rhonda, Joe Canuck, Phil P. My deepest gratitude for your advices on Paris, my cat,post surgery. I wanted to get the most information about how to take care of him. I should say that the Vet has been very concerned about the cat and myself. He provided me with so much advise as you all...

Does she look like she's smiling or what? lol http://maxshouse.com/Adoptions/Moli_Feature.htm Doesn't he look like a gray cougar? He's a mush. Found him in a kill shelter. http://maxshouse.com/Adoptions/Jake's%20Feature.htm

Hello, I'm new to this whole forum thing so bare with me.... About 2 days ago I noticed that my 1 year old cat, Roxanne, is not eating very well at all. She's only consuming about 1/2 a cup of food at most a day. I've tried mixing wet food with her normal cat food (Solid Gold), and just straight...

That's why we spay most of our kittens before they go out to their new home. Find a vet who will spay her now, unless there are actual health concerns (and not her age). The youngest we've seen a kitten in heat was 3 months, soon after her adoption. At that time, we weren't insisting on "early"...

My cats will often, both while fighting with a piece of paper and when just walking down the hall, look up at a bare wall and jump about two feet off the floor and take off as if I had caught them stealing off the dinner table. It's like they saw something that startled them that was not visible...

Our 16 mo. old male cat had his 1 year vaccination yesterday. He won't eat & wants to sleep 24 hours/day. Vet says give 1/2 a baby aspirin. I thought that aspirin was bad for cats. Is it or not?

I see Innova pet food has been recalled. What do you recommended to feed you cat? -- Member - Liberal International This is Ici God,Queen and country!Never Satan President Republic!Beware AntiChrist rising! http://www.fullyfollow.me/rootnl2k Look at Psalms...

Seems like everybody has a website these days, so I was curious how many people in this newsgroup had sites they'd like to share? :)

Looking at her website (www.puppykats.com) in one of the photos, she has some kind of shack behind her that she keeps the cats in. Sounds like a cat/puppy mill :( Sad too when she sells one of these "puppykats" and it doesn't live up to what someone expects, then what will happen to it. (my own...

Our cat is being bullied by another cat on our street. It is now reluctant to go outside and has recently begun chewing its feet causing them to bleed. Does anyone have any advise on how to deal with a problem like this? Regards Richard

How do cats typically react to harnesses. Never thought about it, but have seen posts about here. Do they try to run away, walk in circles, run from side to side..I can't imagine them walking in a straight line like a dog..Just wondering now that the weather is getting warmer, I might want to add a...

I have an 8-year old male cat who has been putting on some weight the past few years. He weighed in at 14 pounds his last vet visit in April and was put on a diet (weight control dry Iams, 1/2 cup a day). He initially adjusted well to his new diet, but since we moved a month ago he has been...

Hi, I have recently adopted a small stray cat, hoping that she will make my older 7 year old cat more playful. Unfortunatly, I have discovered that she has tons of energy and rarely sits down. Whenever somebody is at the door she comes running, she climbs until she gets right under the ceiling,...

According to a recent study published in the Diabetes Care journal, adding dapagliflozin to sitagliptin monotherapy reduces blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. People suffering from type 2 diabetes may sometimes require multiple therapies/combination therapy to manage their...

My 7 year old female cat, Dirty Face has red showing thru her white fur on her nose. Last Aug. when I took her for her annual shots I mentioned it to the vet. He said to put Neosporin on it. It didn't help. Then it was just red between the eyes now it's down her nose. What on earth could cause...

From the San Jose Mercury News... "The Bush administration is proposing far-reaching changes to conservation policies that would allow hunters, circuses and the pet industry to kill, capture and import animals on the brink of extinction in other countries. Giving Americans access to endangered...
