As a UK poster I've been following the Conan saga, and am now completely confused. What is happening to Conan, is he being adopted, collected, rehomed or what? Helen M --

I am thinking of changing our herd of cats over to wet food. We had a diabetic cat a few years ago; that's when I first heard the argument that dry food has more carbs than a cat needs and possibly contributes to diabetes. My question -- with 8 cats of various ages, is there a good, affordable wet...

I have three cats, and all of them like to lick plastic bags. One of them likes to chew the plastic too. Anyone else have a cat like this? Also, does anyone think this is dangerous in any way? Judy F

Advise, please: my long-haired cat, who's got a personality more suspicious than a mother/father-in-law (take your choice) and a hair trigger when it comes to any sudden noise (and when the trigger trips the creature turns into a buzz saw that must get away) has significant matting of his coat....

We have a 16 year old spayed female tabby, Tigger, who has a tendency to be overweight. We got her down to 9 lbs. but this is still a little heavy for her frame. It is imperative to keep her weight down as she has arthritis. We also have a 1-2 yr. old long hair spayed female, Isabel. We...

My cat just got back from spending the weekend at the vet's because he needed SubQ fluids and antibiotics - I know my cat's tongue was red - now it's purple - think its the meds or a reaction to the meds? I'm assuming the vet would've noticed this before otherwise she won't have sent him home. ...

Hi all, I'm new here, although I'm a long-time subscriber to rpca. I'm hoping somebody has some suggestions to help a poor little feral kitty. Five years ago I adopted two three-year-old littermates, a male and a female. A few months ago the male got cancer and subsequently had to be PTS. ...

Hi everyone, My 1-year-old kitty, Zali, has taken to biting me while I'm sleeping. She'll bite me relatively softly the first time and wake me up. I tell her "no" groggily (and in a near-whisper so as not to wake my partner) and then go back to sleep. Then about five minutes later she'll bites me...

We have a female cat, just over 1 year old, that we adopted about 4 months ago. A few weeks after we adopted her we discovered blood in her urine and took her ot the vet. She was prescribed antibiotix, which seemed to help for a while. A month or so after we finished the antibiotics she started...

Never say never. After 10 long years, my hard-core feral appears to be softening up to me. Early on, I began singing (badly) to her because it visibly relaxed her. Over the last month or so, she has started coming around me while I am in my computer chair. I can usually gently grab her tail as...

Alex was recently off his food for a couple of days, so my vet suggested that I try (canned) Pro-Plan (for the sake of its ostensible palatability), which I did. He seemed to like a few of the flavors. However, in looking at the labels, it lists by-products amongst the first four ingredients of...

There is a lot of history going on here in rpch+b that I don't know (or even wish to know). But I *would* like to know more about the experiences people here have had with cats. To that end, if you wouldn't mind I'd like to see if I could get some data that might help me formulate opinions or...

My wife and I adopted two 12 week old kittens about a month ago. Initially, they were on MaxCat at the no-kill shelter where we got them. When we were shopping for supplies, a woman who owns a mom and pop pet store told us abotu Tiki Cat and how wonderful it is. We gave them a few cans and it was...

Hello ! I have a 16 year old tabbie. Along the top of her back or spine, each vertebrae has a bony lump on it. These extend up to about 3/8 " or so. The bigger ones toward her tail - feels like there's a ball bearing under the skin. The bumps do not move, they are bone. So when I pet her back...

I'm the one who has considered bringing in a stray, and did not want to declaw her. Before I commit to letting her in full time, I've been letting her in for short periods (an hour or so), supervised. I bought a sisal scratching post, and one of those cardboard horizontal scratching pads. When...

I'm trying to find a recipe for homemade cat gravy that I can store (refrig) and use as needed for a picky cat who only eats the gravy from canned food. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

It's all in the subject title. To give you a feel for things, my cat will beg (cry, poke at me, search the trash for food) as soon as I get home. I give him a 3oz can of gravy-lovers food, and a bowl of hard food, and he licks up all the gravy in the first and takes a nibble from the second, then...
