A 2 year-old semi-feral spayed female cat who lives in my office is suddenly
drooling quite a lot. I'll take her to the vet Friday - can't before that - but
what *could* it be?? I managed to catch her and look in her mouth, and there's
nothing noticeable or unusual there. There is ...

My little kitten of 9 weeks has a swollen stomach and a slightly sore bum
also has runny poos, when she goes, When i got her from the pet shop she was
riddled with fleas (which I kicked up a stinker) Once all the fleas had
gone, someone told me that fleas carry worms so i wormed her ...

Anyone ever notice any odd behavior in a cat when they first discover
a mirror?  This morning Bonnie was watching me in a full length mirror
in my room while I was getting dressed for work, just staring at me,
though I noticed she was staring at herself, too.  I was behind her

3 1/2 weeks ago, I contacted a rescue group about adopting a cat  (listed on a
Petfinders site). The founder of the group is well known. She was profiled in
the major newspaper here.  Two of the people assisting her, however, were
incompetent idiots.  I had dealt with them, first, ...

After my noticing increased urination, my 15 year old male
DSH was just diagnosed with diabetes this morning (after
blood and urine tests).
He is still a healthy cat, so I guess he can't have had it

An amusing and light-hearted, yet completely serious article.
Worth a read.

I'm a volunteer for a local rescue organization, and received an email from
a lady who has two neutered males who continue to spray indoors even though
she has used Feliway (the pheromone spray and plug-in) and uses an enzyme
solution to clean up.  The cats are declawed so she does ...

My cat, Trouble, who is 4 years old is still very much like a kitten...I
guess that is due to my own playfulness with her.
One issue I have and that is that she bites my electrical cords - teething
like - she actually bit through my AC adaptor for my new laptop ;-(

I may have to move...won't be able to take him.
how best to find him a nice home?

My Kitty was diagnosed with kidney failure.  Unsure if it's chronic or
acute.  Doesn't really matter as the vet says his numbers are
extremely high and after 72 hours of IV hospitalization they got
worse.  Vet says he's going to die soon and let him live out his last

I have two kittens who are now 9 weeks old.   I have been raising them
since they were a week old since they were orphaned by their mother.
I have slowly weaned them so that now they eat solid food readily.
However, I am having a hard time getting them to drink water.   I

When a cat is clearly down to her last few weeks of life, is it love
or selfishness that delays the decision to euthanize?
I have decided that it is either selfishness or ignorance.  The only
way we can decide about euthanasia for our pets is purely

About 7 months ago my wife and I moved into our new house from a 1
bedroom apartment with our 2 cats, a male (10 or so) and a female
(3ish). They had one cat box at the apt, but got along great with each
other. No marking incidents, no hissing, no fighting beyond normal

My cat has not been eating for two days and drank a lot of water
today. The cat seems weak and has his eyes half open.
Should I wait to see if he will recover or take him to a vet as soon
as possible?
