Just brought another bag of Science Diet home and noticed this text "...great taste..." on the bag. How are we to know it tastes great? Has anyone here ever been so brave as to taste the stuff? If so, did it taste great? Do you think your cat will agree with your assessement of the taste?

My 2 year old cat frequently squats but does not pee. My vet has told me this is behavioral, but I suspect it is something more. She has other clearly behavioral problems with the litter box--peeing over the edge, holding her pee until I am at home, peeing on rugs--but I am worried this is an...

My 12 year old cat cat has just been diagnosed with intestinal cancer mostly because she has an elevated white blood count and a lowered protein and no other symptoms such as feline lukiema or thyroid trouble, and no kidney involvement. She does not have any liver malfunction. There have been...

Scapegoats and Feral Cats Working on the wheatbins at Mingenew, in the northern wheatbelt of Western Australia, in the early 80s, I witnessed the systematic slaughter of feral cats by high-powered guns. At an age where I'd grown out of the need to prove my passionate interaction with...

Two days ago my fiance and I discovered we have mice when our youngest cat stewie caught one and batted it around the living room. We hoped it was an isolated event. yesterday we heard him scurrying in the loft and subsequently bring downstairs yet another mouse. Thus, the general consensus is...

I'm using a book to learn how to clicker-train my cats. I've been doing it for 5 days with Ebony, and 3 days with Blackie. The book I am using so far is "Getting Started Clicker Training for Cats," by Karen Pryor. We 3 have all learned a lot so far. My question is for anyone who's familiar and...

I have a short hair indoor cat. He's about 6yrs old. On his back there is about 4 or 5 little clumps about the size of my thumb. It's matted and tangled. I tried to use a brush and comb but ts just too tangeled. Im thinking about trying to wash/shampoo it out. Last but not least I guess I can cut...

My cat is driving me crazy with its vocalization. It wants out, and we're trying to make it an indoor cat. That's the short story. Anyway, I know they do prescribe things for cats. Does anyone have experience with these medications? Do they help relax the critters so they can relearn behaviors?

I have had Sienna since April and have not been able to keep her stool firm for more then 2 weeks. I started her with Wellness dry, then Before Grain dry, then Science Diet DD, which she lasted the longest on, then after I opened the 2nd bag, she started throwing up and would not eat it. The vet...

Hallo, a few days after paying a deposit for 2 Begal Kittens, I found the following: They are confused as to whether they are wild or domestic and typically have horrible medical problems. The most common in Bengals (it is more common to have it than not) is irritable bowel disease, which...

But 1 month after the cleaning he is back to having brown stuff around his mouth again. any ideas what it could...

We been using recycled car tire rubber 1/4 inch thick mat since March 2015. It works very well for climbing and it doesn't shed onto the floor. It was cut in strips and hot melt glued to 1x4s with about 1/2 inch hanging over each side. They have some trouble climbing down, like cats do on...

Is in normal for a cats heartbeat to quicken upon inspiration?

Greetings All, I have a 5 year old neutered male cat who is a very special part of our family. Monday morning, we noticed strange behaviour - not eating, lifeless, depressed, glassy eyes, etc. He also urinated outside his litterbox which he has never done before. We monitored him over the next...

As stated in the past, I had great luck with my cat Gnarly who lived to be 20 and had every tooth when she finally died. I never had her teeth cleaned at all. She never had a day of sickness in her life. No, her breath was not sweet. Fast forward to now--and my little rescue Cheeks, four years...

A crawl at the bottom of the screen on CNN this morning says North Carolina is considering raising taxes on pet food as a means of reducing pet overpopulation. My first reaction would be that it's about as misguided as raising gas taxes to discourage consumption... Anybody here got more background...

I went to visit the kitties for lunch today, and while I was eating a Twinkie, Elwood seemed to be really interested. He was pawing at it, and trying to steal it out of my hand!! Are Twinkies dangerous for cats? No, I am not going to make it a regular part of his diet, but am wondering if a...
