I have put in an application to adopt a 1 year old shelter kitty - who
happens to be Manx.  He has no tail whatsoever, not even a stump.  I had no
intentions of getting anything other than just a cat from a shelter.  I have
done a bit of research on this breed and am concerned.  ...

My 15 year old male tabby has been taking 10 mg Tapozole a day for about
14 months for his thryoid.
Over the past few weeks he has begun to lose weight again and eating
little. Today the vet told me to increase the Tapozole dose to 15 mg a

I am hoping someone out there has an idea that can help my poor dog.
Six months ago, she got out of the yard and was hit by a car. Her hip
was shattered in three places. It took us a day to realize what had
happened and the seriousness of her injury. It was Sunday and she had

Which holiday does your cat celebrate? Both myself and my cats celebrate
Chanukah. This year Isis and Jade will again get presents but I have no idea
what to get them.

I finally convinced my parents that it would be advisable to make our
family cat an "inside cat" as they live in an area that has lots of
dogs and even a couple of cayotes.  BUT, I cannot get this 6 year old
cat to use the little box. When I train a kitten to use the box, I

You support the cat with a hand on its bottom while
placing the right side of its neck on the other elbow.
At that stage it is conscious , purring, and can't move.
Or does this only work with my 2 cats?  If so, why?

I am going to stay with friends this Christmas and I don't know what to do
with my cat.  Do you think she would like it better if I took her with me
(about 2 hours drive away) or should I leave her at home and ask my
neighbour to feed her while I'm gone?

Her blood work came back today. It's actually better than last spring. So
the problem all seems to be the arthritis, the pain, and the fact that she's
hardly moving around at all. She's getting constipated which could just be
her old bowel not creating the enzymes she needs to ...

My fianc? and I recently adopted two kittens... one aged 8 weeks (approx)
and one age 7 months (approx). The 7 month old seems to be displaying signs
of being in heat. They just had a check up and were in perfect health so it
was the only reason we could think of as to her behaviour ...

After my cat deficates he drags his rump across the floor. I'm so tempted to
hand him toilet paper. I am running after him with Mr. Clean.  Anyone else have
a cat that does this?

Hi, all,
I've been lurking here for a while, and now I desperately need some
others' input.  I have five cats total, four of them over 14.  Cassie,
the 17 year old, went off her food briefly and when I took her to the

The vet thinks my cat has a fribrosarcoma on her left rear leg. We will have
a definite diagnosis on Monday. I am opting for no surgery due to her age
(16 and 1/2) and the location of the tumor. Has anyone had a cat with this
cancer who opted for no treatment and how long did the ...
