Hello, new to the group here.  I am the owner of 2 cats, Tycho, NM, 17
and Ginger, SF, 10.
Ginger is a small shorthaired kitty.  She has recently (over the last

even tried to let him outside today in our fenced in ...

OK, cat people, I ... well actually we, i.e. Mother, the cats, and I, need
some guidance from the best cat thinkers on the planet.  I somehow feel this
is the moment to say "your mission, should you choose to accept it........"
because the situation is rather daunting, taking on ...

Watching the evolving relationship between Jack and Rizzo is proving
endlessly fascinating.
They've now decided each other's trips to the litterbox are a really good
way to start a wrestling match and chase.  If both are awake, and one goes

My husband said that they give at farms extra vitamin E for cows and
pigs so they'll get in heat earlier than they normally would. He said
that it could be happen to cats as well. I'm breeding my cat soon and
waiting her to get in heat. She's in heat 4 times a year. I have male

Are there any advantages to canned food over dry food other than the extra
water?  (Because I can easily add water to the dry food I feed my guys.)

Hello I am new to posting on newsgroups; I am wondering if anyone can
help me find a good online pet store that will ship frontline for cats

I have frankly had it with my vet and paying her the equivalent of $40

 A few days ago I posted about my kitty Meetoo-20 yrs. old. She has crf w/
100ml of sub-Q fluid every day. She's been in hospital since Friday. The
