Hi - We found a rather large lump on our 9 yr old cat's shoulder this
weekend, and took her to the vet today. Five minutes, $42, and a quick
pinch of the lump and the vet said we needed surgery to remove it, and
probably a biopsy. We also need pre-op bloodwork due to her age.

I just saw on the news that an a rescue team from the AHS here in Phoenix is
on its way to the San Diego area to help out. The unit will include five AHS
Emergency Animal Medical Technicians, a vet team, two rescue ambulances, and
a 60 foot mobile hospital. They intend on doing ...

and poops on the floor... it's like he hates his litter box or
something... he does it if I go away for a night and I don't know how
to make him stop! PLEASE HELP! He's a nine yearold Maine Coon if that
makes any difference...

I'm just curious about this -
Damien walks from room to room with
his tail straight out from his body.
Does anyone know what this means ??

I am so angry!!  This isn't a problem where I need any advice, but I need to
vent.  Some of you know that I adopted a beautiful blind kitty (Duffy)
several months ago.  Today I had my windows and carpets cleaned.  I used the
same man who has done this cleaning for a number of years ...

How cold would it have to be outside for half of a cat's ears to get
frostbite and break off? I'm asking because a few years ago a stray
showed up on my doorstep and half of her ears looked like they had
been cut off. I later asked the vet and he said they broke off from

I have a 10 month spoilt rotten kitten (well she's more a cat now I
guess) named Jazzi who we rescued from the shelter 6 months ago.
A month ago my partner and I left to go away for 10 days as I needed to
be in Sydney for a wedding. I organised a close friend to look after

I have a sick cat that will not eat or drink.
I've tried to force feed him with little success.
Any suggestions would be welcome thanks.

Our rescue group recently had a call from a distraught new mom.  Her
cat of 10 years, Beavis, has taken serious exception to their new baby
when it cries and has literally attacked her several times, inflicting
some nasty bites.  She thinks Beavis is trying to attack the baby, but

I had never heard of this food before, but someone told me about it being
recalled due to causing deaths, so just in case someone does feed this brand,
here is the link about the recall:

We have an orange tabby, Fred, who has been having an ongoing problem spraying
at various places throughout the house.  We've tried almost everything -- taken
him to the vet to have him checked for urinary problems, made sure the number
of litterboxes corresponds to the number of ...

I posted several days ago about our cat Ginger who had been diagnosed with
acute pancreatitus.  There are new findings now that challenge that initial
diagnosis, but also may support it.  I know I am repeating some of what I
discussed in the pancreatitus thread.  But I think my ...

There is a feral cat at the local waste disposal site that I use.
I have been feeding it in the hope that I will be able to bring it
home. Progress has been slow but steady until another person decided
to feed it. He just dumps kibble on the ground 2lbs at a time.

My Siamese altered female, age 4.  The other day she was in a
neighbors house and would not come out.  I had to drag her out by the
back of the neck from under a bed.  Since then she has been attacking
me, and her eyes are bugging out of her head.  I don't want to take

My cat - an abandoned stray - is truely lovable towards me in the middle of the
night and first thing in the morning. We always thought she hated my husband
and all men (as displayed by her action of running out of the door and away to
hide everytime) but today I was with her in the ...
