Hey all,
I was just wondering if I should be concerned. Lynxie is normally NOT a
lap cat, and will only sit in my lap for maybe a couple minutes at most
before running off and doing his own thing.

I just read a book called "Food Pets Die For" and it is horrifying!!!
This woman did an extensive study about the ingredients which go into
cat and dog food. Almost all of the major brands include euthanized
cats and dogs in their formula, as well as all of the spoiled and

My cat doesn't want to eat and keeps being sick, but it seemed to only
be saliva until tonight, when it looked like there was some fur in it.
She's lost a lot of weight as well...we moved her food outside
recently due to our toddler trying to eat it...could it be a

21 years ago in August, I got a little baby kitten.  She's always been a
very good cat.  Once, when she was just a few years old, I went away for
the weekend but forgot to leave the door to the deck (where her catbox
was) open.  She was such a good cat that the only place she "went" ...

Any advice on helping my kitty with her teething issues?? I know she
loves to chew on anything, and she's been biting a lot recently.
A friend of mine said she used Pounce treats with her cat when she was
teething and that worked really well. Anyone use them before? I've

 I am planning to adopt a new kitten in early November.  My one concern
is that during X'mas I will be heading off for 2 weeks on a holiday.  This
has already been scheduled and cannot be rebooked.  At this point I would
only have had the kitten for one and a half months.  Is this ...

A neighbor of mine got evicted today.  Another neighbor and friend,
who is a vet assistant, spoke to her and asked about her cat.  The
woman's reply consisted of "I'm homeless today.  I don't know."
Essentially, she dumped the cat.  She also told my friend that her cat

Okay, I'm REALLY confused now.  I've been reading the articles about
nutrition that have been cited in this newsgroup, and some of them say that
lots of protein (especially meat-based protein) is good for cats.  
But the Natura Pet Foods web site declares that one of the good ...

hi y'all ,  i have a ? about my newly adopted (2 wks.ago) 4 mo. old kitty, is it OK for her to eat peanut butter as an occ. treat ? she seems to go crazy for it ! D

Yesterday was Fleaday.
We bathed our three cats and dusted/bombed the place.  It was
approximately a 12-hour process.
I noted that one of the cats had considerably more fleas than the other

My sweet kitty dumped a mouse on my porch that I think was already dead,
because it was stiff.
I think what killed it is a worm type thing that was emerging from it's
belly as I picked it up.  This wasn't a maggot that attacked after death, it

We are moving from San Diego to Fort Lauderdale and have 5 cats to
move with us. I hate to subject them to a long car ride where they
will be in carriers all day for several days. Here are the options I
have considered:

 Has any one heard of this? I've read a lot about FLUTD but don't
remember it being mentioned.  I wonder if it's worth trying ?

You may have read my post in May when I wrote that my 8 week old kitten was
sometimes all teeth and nails.
Now she is about 5 months old and when she plays with me there is much less
biting and those paws are usually just soft pads.

We have a "rescued" cat, Katie, who became nauseated and was retching, and
not eating. She is overweight. Our vet did blood work, and then an
abdominal sonar and fine needle liver aspiration biopsy, and tells us that
Katie has hepatic lipidosis, and cholangiohepatitis, and ...
