I have two kittens and they are almost 5 months old.  I know that they
can have hairball problems so I would like to prevent them.  I bought
laxatone, but I am wondering when to begin using it and how
frequently.  The packaging indicates using it on a regular basis.   Is

We have a 7 yo male with scratch wounds on both temples. He has scratched
most of his life (we believe its either allergy or behavior-related) with
usually no more than a slightly bleeding scratch at its very worse.
He now has dime-sized open wounds on each side (temple area). They ...

Nipsy is drooling. I looked where he was lying on the bed and it was
very wet. Really a puddle. At first I thought maybe he peed there but
that wasn't the case. His mouth was wet and he was still drooling a
bit. I checked his mouth but nothing obvious is wrong. So I went to

A friend has reported to me that his landlord's black cat - a large 15
year old that hates everyone but "daddy" - has his tongue chronically
hanging out of his mouth.  Anyone know what could cause this?

It is not surprising that the U.S. has mad cow disease given our flaunting of

My friend just adopted a really great 8 year old dog. She has two resident
older cats and another dog. The cats have always done fine with her dogs after
the initial "check out". This dog goes after the cats and one of them swipes
him repeatedly and he ends up all bloody. He doesn't ...

We have a white male cat approximately 13 years old that has just recently
begun exhibiting a peculiar behavior. He has started stooling, but not
urinating outside his litter box. In fact, he will urinate in the box and then
run to the other room and leave his present. He has two ...

Just got the (pre dental)lab results back for my 14 yr old tabby and
found out that he has a T4 of 118 nmol/L. The dental cleaning will be
delayed until his thyroid condition is under control.
We have decided that pilling him with Tapazole is not an option

Day after Christmas, 9 pm. Sparky made it through Christmas. Not so
lucky today. He died about an hour ago. The end was peaceful. He just
seemed to fall asleep.
I took him from his bed to see if he had to urinate, and I had to hold

urgent:
really need feedback here.  on your cat condos/ cat posts, how
wide/long are your cat "steps" ?  are they triangular or square. if
they are square, what are their approximate dimensions?

You'll notice I didn't say "introduce a second cat", for which there are any
number of sites giving hints... My current problem is one that has crept up
on me unawares - if I had been *planning* to introduce a second cat, I'd have
done it the sensible way. But it's too late for ...

I've heard it said once that pork is one of the things you don't feed to
your cats.
Now, other than that it's not kosher (and then a concern if kitty is
Jewish), I'm curious, what is the reason for this?

As the cat gets more comfortable around the house, I notice that she
loves to perch.  But she still doesn't get up on the furniture (fine
with me).
If I don't want to invest in the expensive "condos," is there

This stray that we took in is great.
As soon as I started squirting her with a spray bottle for scratching
on the furniture, she started using her post.  Now she uses the post
about a hundred times a day.
