I am considering monitoring my cats urine ph to prevent later health
problems.   I understand I can use a pool ph meter or, I imagine, one
used for gardening purposes.   My question is... Can I measure the ph
of the urine in the cat litter (I use clay litter)?    If the litter

My 13 yr old male cat Socrates had what the vet said looked like a
stroke this morning. He looked terrible, could barely pick up his
head, drooling, panting and bellows like he's in pain. He seemed to be
ok the last few days and appears to be in otherwise good health (being

This is a small update on Benny, the cat with the cloudy eye. He's
been getting the eye drops for around 10 days now, and the
discoloration that was previously there has lessened. His eye nearly
looks normal, even though he can't see out of it.

The cat finally peed in the litter box for the first time, but didn't
bury it.  Is that strange?  It's just sitting on top in a puddle.

I have an 8 yr old female tabby who goes berserk whenever we try and
wash her off. We usually get cuts all over our hands and it takes like

I am facing a real dilemma with a stray cat that hangs out near my
apartment complex. He's part of a local trap-neuter-return program. I

I have recently adopted a DSH cat called Lily from the local Cat's
Protection League.  She is between 18 months and 2 years old and she really
is a lovely cat but some of her behaviour is starting to drive me mad and I
would appreciate some advice as to how I can train it out of ...

My cat thinks it is a dog.  I have 2 labradors and my cat follows them
everywhere, even when we go out for walks it comes 2.  It wont eat cat
food and will only eat dog food along with the other 2 dogs.  I am a
little worried as to whether or not this is good for my cats diet

I have a calico cat and a black domestic short haired.
They both have DRAMATICALLY different types of behaviour.  Do black cats and
calico cats have dramatically different kinds of behaviours than other
breeds and types of cats.

Does anyone here give their cats presents for Chanukah or Christmas? Both
Isis and Jade will be getting gifts this year for Chanukah.
