Both I and my cat need a weighing scale and I was wondering if we could get by with one. For myself, I don't require analysis of water, fat, bone, etc.; accurate and consistent weight readings would do. Good readable display etc. For the kitty, I was thinking it should be accurate to 0.1 lbs....

This cat behaved so unlike any other cat I ever had. For a start, it rarely ever meowed, instead, it cooed like a pigeon. It also had those thick horizontal long hairs in the ears, perhaps you can see them in the first pic. It was also extremely smart. It had a very strange personality, as if it...

Hi, I recently adopted a 10 year old blind cat from the shelter..Just felt so bad for the poor thing. I live in a quiet apartment, no kids or other pets (well, a hermit crab). I'm a senior citizen, so I do not want a kitten that will live for 20 years! Now it's just us two old ladies. She has...

Hi, I had my cat Callie to the vet a couple of months ago for a checkup and the doc told me she had to have a tooth extracted but he did bloodwork first and found certain kidney levels were a little elevated so she was put on a special diet of Hill's k/d prescription food. She does not like this...

About 15 minutes ago, I stepped away from the Monday Night Football game (which the Bucs seem determined to give away) for a few moments, and when I returned there was a small but grotesque puddle in the hall off my living room. Promiently featured in it was a much-abused segement of...

Has anyone tried the new curved cat scratcher on a wooden base? Supposedly it files their nails down so you don't have to clip. One of my cats hates to be clipped. Barb

The human food thread was cracking me up for some reason. What else do your cats do that make you laugh each and every time. There are some things that Luna does that just about kill me...without fail. -when her mouth hangs open cuz she smells something -when we play with a dangly toy and she...

We have a large patio door in our living room, which we leave open all day so that we do get a bit of breeze IF there is any to be had. Other than that, the rest of the windows in our house have to remain closed for fear of the cats getting out, & either lost, hurt or never seen again.. I know that...

My adult cat has been breathing loudly out of her nose and she smells funny. I don't know how else to describe it. She also is losing weight. I brought home a kitten about 4 months ago and for the most part they get along these days. I think the weight loss is related to the kitten being a fat...

I have 3 cats. One (or more) has recently taken to urinating outside the litter box. I think I know which one it is but would like to be sure. Does anyone know of anything that can be given to a cat that will color its urine? This way I could give it to the cat in question and if the next...

The whiskers of my girlfriend's 6 month old kitten have been breaking off since before he was adopted from a shelter. He's also kind've bony for his age (only 6 lbs). Everyone remarks that they can feel his ribs and spine more than with other kittens, including more than a slinky 5 month...

Hi all, I am new here and wanted to get some feedback on whether other cats are like the one I adopted from the humane society. All we knew was that he was over 1 year old and was a stray. He is part persian, but without the scrunched up face, he is orange and white, very fluffy with pretty orange...

Hi, Have two cats. One is way overweight, the other fine. They've been free-feeding their whole lives--in recent years, dry weight-management kibble. Decided to feed less.. feed only a couple times a day and use canned wet food.

Carey, 10 yo tortie, has a probable brain tumor (everything else ruled out and decision was made to treat this assumption), her meds seem to help her behavior MOST days, although not completely. Her physical self is stabilized by them though. Since kittenhood, she has been a "sucker". She...

My sister and her husband have a business in a Seattle neighborhood with a large feral cat community. They have been taking care of this community for about 10 years, feeding, vaccinating, spaying, neutering, nursing and finding homes for kittens etc. They are now needing to move their business to...

Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

Has anyone seen a show on TV called Pet Keeping? I've caught it a few Sat mornings and the guy has some really good tips. Come to find out its a production of Martha Stewart. Regardless, it's a neat show. Next week the host is going to have some "sure fire" tips to keep your cat from scratching...

We recently got a third kitty, a middle-aged one from my sister. She moved to England recently, and can't take the cat with her. She takes 5mg of Methimazole twice daily, or at least is supposed to. The old cats are chasing and fighting her constantly, so she won't let anybody get near her, and...
