She weighed in at four pounds at the vet, but to look at her she seems

We're going to be traveling across the country with three cats, two
neutered males about three years old, and an un-neutered male about
nine months old. One of the older cats only tolerates the younger one,
and the other older cat gets along okay with the young one. The two

I have a tiny 17 year old siamese.  About a month ago she started pulling
out tufts of fur.  She just sits down and grabs her fur and starts tearing
it out.  She doesn't seem to be sick and so far no bald spots.  Any ideas on
what could be causing this?  The vet said a food allergy ...

Harley, the calico, did go into heat once before she was fixed.

Willi's surgery during my trip to France was a relative success. Most of the
tumour in his neck was removed. However, since it is a bone cancer they were
not able to remove it all - as it originates at the cervical spine. Thus Willi
still has the cancer - osteosarcoma. He is back ...
