Dilemma with an Old Friend by
RobTM
Hi! I have a problem I could use some input with.
I have an eighteen year-old cat that has been a good companion for a
big chunk of my life. She's finally beginning to show her age, and is
a bit stiff, but is otherwise healthy. She has never been a people
person - until she met my girlfriend, she...

Jimmy Lee
I am planning to get a Chartreux cat. A rare breed. Does anyone have
opinions or stories about owning a Chartreux? Are they as wonderful a cat as

My name is Melinda and I am trying to get information about the
aftereffects of colectomy surgery. My cat Chloe had this surgery done

Jenny Torango
My fiancé and I recently moved and has been living in our house for about a
five weeks. On March 14th, a cat showed up on our back porch without a
collar, and meowing a lot. We gave him some water and petted him, but

Vet not detecting pregnancy by
Marion
I'm feeling awful, and I suppose I'm wondering how much I should have
expected myself or the vet to know.
We've been fostering cats since December. On Feb 5 this year, we took
a cat -- perhaps 2 years old -- not much was known about her, except
that her 91-year-old owner had died and that the house...

more litterbox issues... by
Kitkat
I have seen a flurry of questions about getting cats to use the litterbox and
yep, I've got one, too.
We adopted Lex after a month of visiting him at the shelter. The reason we
didnt adopt him sooner is that he was brought back by an adopter after about 10
days because he wasnt consistently using...

Plays with food by
Dana
If I leave my kitten's food bowl down (she's 4 months old) she'll paw
at it to play, but then my whole kitchen floor will end up covered in
her food! I can't seem to get her to stop without putting her food
bowl on the counter. Is there another way I can get her to stop
without having to pick up...

Bad breath and...? by
Dennis Carr
A general rule, as I have read, is that bad breath is a harbinger of
illness in your cat in one form or another.
But here's the thing - what should I be smelling for?
It's granted that my cats are probably never going to have minty fresh
breath as they seem to have an aversion to my tin o'...

IAMS experimentation video by
kaeli
Those of you who still think IAMS is okey-dokey, check it out.
http://www.iamscruelty.com/iams-video.html
This is what happens to dogs (and one kitten) in the name of "research".
The rest of you, don't. It's not pretty.
In fact, it's very, very sad.

To stop cat from puncturing air bed? by
John Doe
Declawing is out of the question here in my house.
I know about clipping their claws. That is no problem.
I was thinking about covering the air bed with one or even two mattress
covers.
I guess that stuff will work, but I want to ask you all in case there are
methods not mentioned. I want to do...
