Upon reflection, it occurred to me that my neighbor's new cat might be
a Ragdoll, because it goes limp when picked up and just sort of drapes
over you. I did a Google image search, and there she was!
Am I correct in recalling that Ragdolls have soft, thick fur, large

With x'mas on the way I'm tempted to buy a pot of poinsettas (those
"christmas flower").  I know it's poison for human... but is it also for
cats? I've heard that it's NOT poisonous for cats (or the cat need to eat
several whole plant to get enuff poison for them?!).  What's the ...

I have 2 adolescent cats (about 22 weeks old) and they're going
outside now.  I wanted to get some kind of flea & tick control for
them.  My Vet recommended Frontline and said that the over the counter
stuff could cause neurological damage.

Apparently there are now two stray cats in my complex that have seemingly
been alone for a while. One is a Calico and the other is a long haired black
cat. The management approached me about helping these two cats but I am
limited on funds but they have allowed me to start a fund ...

I have 11 cats, 2 are rescued ferals from my old neighborhood.  One settled
down into almost pet like behavior after she was spayed, the other is still
quite wild 10 years later.
The "pet-like" one, Melon, has some kind of skin condition which is

I have two male American Shorthairs that are both about 5yrs old.
One of them has developed a bump on his back (right above his front
shoulder). It appears that the problem is just under the skin, rather than
an external problem.

I just spent $395 to go to a cat behavioral psychologist. Patches spraying was
driving me nuts. Last week he peed on the bed and sprayed the side of it. He
does not have a urinary tract infection. He only sprays near where Mimi likes
to sit and sleep so I knew it had something to do ...

Hello everyone. I've had my kitten named sam for about 2 days. It is a
female kitten with black and grey stripes on it. Anyway, I have been
feeding it Purina Kitten Chow for about a day now, since she wouldn't
eat the first brand we gave her. We have also been giving her some wet

This morning, my cat decided it would be fun to attack my arm.  I was
bleeding profusely all morning, and by the time the bleeding had
almost stopped, he did it again.
I know he's playing...he's just a very, playful wild cat.  But this

I know I've been asking a lot of questions since my arrival a few weeks
ago. The reason is because I can't seem to get adequate care instructions
from doctors I talk to.
My cat was put on neutral ph (IVD select care and waltham's so) soft food

I live in the country and my cat is left to roam free amoungst the
fields, although i think this is great for the cat it is not so great
for the animals around it.  It brings home, dead birds, rabbits, moles
and mice.  I know it is only doing what it believes is right, but it

If anyone has had a cat with a compulsive licking problem (where the kitty
licks raw places on their legs and other places), please let me know if your
vet was able to determine the cause, and how it was treated.
I will be taking her to the vet again but I'm  curious what others'

We recently got a third kitty, a middle-aged one from my sister. She
moved to England recently, and can't take the cat with her.
She takes 5mg of Methimazole twice daily, or at least is supposed to.
The old cats are chasing and fighting her constantly, so she won't let

So, the vet prescribed amoxil for the kitty. Who really doesn't
enjoy the eyedropper-in-the-mouth treatment. Is there any medical
reson not to just apply the medicine to her food? I can't imagine
her not eating it...
