I've got a black female mixed-breed shorthair 6yo, indoor only, that
I've had since she was just about six weeks old.  For the last handful
of months - starting about the time I moved, actually - she's been
slowly but gradually overgrooming a few spots on her body.

Cat 1 year old has all her shots, in the past couple days has started
sneezing and has mucus up her nose and she is sniffling.  Have cleaned
her nose with warm washcloth periodically and that seems to help her
breathing.

Hi. My 14-year-old cat has arthritis in his lumbar spine and a
meniscal knee tear or chip. The vet gave me some glucosamine, a large
tablet size, to mash up in his food. However, he won't eat his food
with it in there, doesn't like the taste. Remidyl (sp?) is not

At one time our cat (Mozart) had a little problem with holding down
ordinary food so the vet sold us Hills Prescription Diet Feline W/D
and we've been buying it ever since (several years). Do you think it's
necessary to keep buying this food? Is there any harm in continuing to

My female cat is about 6-7 years old.  Initially, she wasn't the most
affectionate cat on the block, but with time (and especially after I've
been gone for a few days), she becomes most affectionate for a few days
and then reverts to her normal independent self:  She'll come for

I've had Cat-Boy now for about three months. He's settled into his new
home and is very normal and happy. He has a lot of Maine Coon in him,
so his fur is not only long, but very dense. At a casual glance he
looks fat, but not after you pick him up and realize that there is way

Can anyone point me to information regarding service cats for people with
severe depression/anxiety?

I adopted a beautiful little rumpy manx (no tail whatsoever) from a Florida
Humane Society 2 months ago.  He is 13 months old and not very coordinated
at all.
He is otherwise very healthy, has fine litterbox habits, has been to the vet

OK, re: the new rescue, Biskit. She has an appointment to be spayed on Wed. I
had put it off because she is in heat, and still quite thin,  but am going to
go ahead and do it because her behavior is just so pitiful and she's hell-bent
to get outdoors. Here are the questions:

I have a beutiful brown spotted Bengal who is gorgeous and I love him to
bits, but he has one habit that is driving me crazy.  I have a window that I
have put venetian blinds on so I can see my computer screen better on sunny

The latest addition to my family of wife, 3 cats and a puppy is a male
kitten about 14wks old. He's a mixed breed but looks very much like the
Aurkish Angora- longhaired, white, blue-eyed, hearing. I don't know much
about his history except that he was abused by his previous owners. ...

I've been trimming the cat's front claws regularly, and it's fairly
easy (although she's squirmy).
But I can't get the rear done.  She squirms and goes nuts, and finally
starts biting and scratching..  

Well in a couple of days it'll be Isis' birthday. I have decided to get her
Seabiscuit on DVD because she would enjoy watching it and of course probably
get into all the movement of the horse races. Does anyone else here besides
me get movies, music and other gifts for their cat's ...
