TWEAKER I saw a commercial once on TV -- digitally edited safari footage that showed a tiny cat stalking and hunting a big game animal. It was an ad for some kind of cat food I think, with a tag line to the effect that the heart of a big cat beats in the chest of every armchair kitty. It reminds...

I give Gabe and Oreo fresh water two times a day (when I feed them) but neither of them seem to want to drink out of their bowl. It is fresh water and the bowl is clean. However, they DO like to drink out of the sink. When I am getting ready in the morning, they jump up on the counter and expect...

His dermatologist appointment was today. This vet is very very thorough in both her examination and taking his history by asking questions. Based on his history plus what she saw, she didn't believe it to be caused by a bacterial skin infection, which is common, but he does have a secondary...

Greetings; A freind who has recently become unable to be mobile has had the unfortunate event of all three of her female cats (we're trying to get a mobile vet to come to fix her cats) had a litter of kittens within a couple months, and it would seem that they all have worms. Because the cats...

Well, I've discovered the hard way that you get rid of clumping litter by putting it in a bag, not trying to flush it down the toilet. So now I keep a grocery store bag for the litter, by the litterbox. Problem is, it just looks well, not nice. So I'm wondering how other people keep the...

I took these tonight for my Friday cat-blogging, and thought I'd just post em here as well. Here's Tiger, our Maine-Coonish farmcat http://www.discant.com/Cat/tiger_2.jpg And here's Louis, the precocious Bengal, in a somewhat inelegant pose http://www.discant.com/Cat/louis_2.jpg Great little...

Hi Group, Another situation, as I am now (even more officially) a full blown cat nut.... I recieved a box of two kittens today, I began to bottle feed them and had all supplies on hand, of course.... One female cat "Tora" (Japanese for tiger) was fixed last month and also got a kitty abortion, we...

He woke me up with it. He was kneading them through the covers. You know how they do Just as deliberate as it gets.

My cat gorges himself at feeding time then Pukes all over my house. Sometimes a hair ball comes out but not always. I give him hairball remidy but this does not help. It's almost like he has beleima or something.

Hello everyone! Has anyone here in the Toronto area ever used the services of the Willowdale Animal Hospital (Yonge-Sheppard area)? I'm trying to find a vet for our cat and would like to get some honest opinions about this place, the doctors there, etc (or any other place in the area that...

As someone who lives in the UK and has kept cats for about 20 years, this was news to me - and a shock to learn of it. Not only that but I actually had a couple lilies in a mixed bunch of flowers in vase - all now in the bin. Lily pollen or leaves, or any part of a lily is extremely toxic to a...

Amber and Tiger are not usually this friendly. http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/View?u=3D1777604&a=3D13746150&p=3D71642950= &Sequence=3D0&res=3Dhigh ---MIKE--- In the White Mountains of New Hampshire (44=B0 15' N)

Hi everyone, My cat (female, tabby, indoor, 2 years old), who's never had problems with hairballs before, has over the past few weeks started to cough them up on a regular basis (every 4 to 7 days). Does anyone have any insight into why this might be happening now, or have any experience with...

We have a family of six feral cats that live in and around our backyard. There is the MomCat, her three kittens, and a male and female cat that appear to have been from the same litter as MomCat; they are all very close. I am wondering what would happen to these cats were we to move ? Thanks, Shell

I have three great cats. I love them to death. I give them lots of attention both as a group and individually. But at night, Storm will not stop crying. He goes back and forth from yowling to batting me in the head. I stick to a very strict feeding schedule and try very hard not to reward the...

Today my kitty Piper went for a bit of a swim. She was chasing a bug and decided to jump up on the edge of the hot tub. She wasn't quite sure of her grip so she used her claws which don't work on fiberglass. The result was a very wet cat. The hot tub is one of the standard fiberglass stand...

Found out the Henry tested positive for Bartonella. Did some googling and discovered that's the cause of "cat-scratch fever", pretty damn serious for humans. NOW it makes sense that when he mauled me while I (stupidly) was separating him from killing the other cats, that I got the worst infection...

I recently adopted a cat from the local Humane Society. She's in good health but a bit overweight. I've got her on weight maintenance cat food to help correct the problem and am trying to get her exercising more. The vet said the baggy belly probably would not go away, even if she loses weight....
