Hi I'm new here, although I've been "lurking" and reading the posts for a
few days.  I have two male cats (brothers) Scooby and Sylvester who will
make a year on May 1st.  I have tried all types of different litter, the
scoopable, non-scoop, scented, unscented.  I guess I'm just ...

I passed a new pet store yesterday so I stopped in to pick up some
whatevers. They had a brand of food I hadn't noticed before called
PetGuard. The label seemed reasonable and I bought a few varieties. No
Turkey. The boys just don't like turkey and I won't waste money on it.

    My 9 year old guy was diagnosed with feline asthma about 2
years ago. Not terrifically troubled by it (so far). Perhaps 1 or 2
episodes, lasting under a minute, in a 24 hour period. Maybe a couple
more I'm not around to witness.

My 12-year-old cat was just diagnosed as diabetic.  
He was admitted this morning for stabilization, and determining

In the past six months my 14 year old cat has been urinating on the
carpet in the corner of my bedroom despite having fresh litter in her
box every 4-6 days.  I pulled the carpet back and changed the padding
and cleaned the carpet and she still goes back to the same spot and

Our kitty has had a limp tail (and seemingly no feeling in it) for
about five days but no other symptoms*.  She does not seem to be in
any pain from this at all.  We have taken her to the vet twice - he
cannot feel anything wrong with her tail, no lumps or anything (we

Hey guys,
Still trying to find a REALLY good food that I can get at the pet store
that the kids will actually eat.
What do you guys think of Royal Canin?

All,
I'm trying to find resources and recommendations on when (or if?) is a good
time to introduce a new cat into the household?
Unfortunately I have lost two of my three cat's in the last 7 month to

I am the OP from the cat in the small smoking apartment with mom
thread.  Someone mentioned baby wipes, I want to know if these are
safe for a cat's coat...I am contimplating giving the cat a bath, but
from all I have heard of it, it is not a fun experience for anyone,

Yesterday and today the sudden dip in temperatures and such has made our
house *VERY* dry, despite vaporizers, etc.  Our poor cat is very static
filled and crackles as we pet her.  I don't think it's a "big deal", but
I'm curious, is there somethine one does to help their pets ...

 We have a male cat that's about 17 years who doesn't seem to have any
fur on his back legs, and we think he might be sort of biting it away.
We don't know if he still does it (I don't think so - it's certainly not
an obvious compulsion).  Is this a plausible reason for why back ...

 A post in the 'Cat in cage' thread made me wonder: how many of your
cats like TV?  I saw an segment on TV a while back that said that cats
who like TV are actually more "sluggish" (in some sense) than cats who
ignore it.  This was because most cats visual systems dectect are ...

Hi there, My cat was recently diagnosed with a retroperitneal
hemangiosarcoma.  He had surgery to remove two masses.  I can't find
much out there about this in cats (more common in dogs) and was
wondering if anyone had any knowledge about this.  I know its bad.

    I sent off a message of thanks to Laura re her tip concerning
my asthmatic cat. The message bounced back, but I am dead cert that I
had her address, letter perfect.
    I strongly suspect that your Attorney General had something to
