We have two cats, a mutt Maine Coon lookalike (10yrs) and a bengal
(2yrs). The mutt has lived with a total of four different cats
uneventfully. The bengal grew from kittenhood with him, and no other
cats. These two are best friends, and play and sleep together.

My 4 year old dog Bailey recently developed a swollen hock and was favouring
that foot. Since compensating for the leg, he has developed an opposite
swelling of his front wrist. Bailey has been for almost a week very
lethargic, and the swelling has increased in the hock and now the ...

And they named the kitten "Nemo".  *heh*
Excerpt:
The boaters on the 17-foot Scout Current Drift did not know how the
kitten arrived in the Homosassa Bay. There were at least 40 boats in the

I decided to try some "flushable" cat litter. The only
brand I could find locally is "Cat's Pride." It says on
the box that it's "certified safe to flush," but is it
really?

Rant On.
We found two baby kittens in the flowerbed this morning. We live in the
country, with no close neighbors. They didn't walk here by themselves. Someone
dumped them.

Nobody about on the other board soooooo,
I thought I would up grade and bough a staywell 400 magnetised doodah with
authentic mouse ball collar, well let me tell you here and now that the
magnetic cat flap is useless.

My well water contains a lot of iron.  Bleach reacts with this water -
especially when it's hot and causes a brown stain on everything.  For
this reason, I prefer to use vinegar to clean my feeders.  What ratio of
vinegar/water is recommended?  When I make nectar, I don't use the ...

Since the last couple of weeks with the cat's problems, he is again his old
self. Switched to canned food, Iams, and he is eating well. My question is,
since going off dry food he drinks less water than before. Don't know how
much less, but have just started measuring his intake ...

Tiger has had very soft stools for several days now.  I think the
problem has been corrected by adding acidolphulos powder to his canned
food.  I don't know what caused it.  Amber has been fine.  Tiger is an
inside cat and there are no plants that he can get to.  There have been

I've always felt that a board that enumerates the compliments and
complaints about vets (and physicians) would be a major help to all pet
owners.
That being said, anyone know a good vet in Brooklyn, NY?

Felix is my newest contribution into helping to adopt cats out. Felix was
sentenced to death  by putting to sleep because his owner didn't want him.
She paid the vet $100 for it! however, when told that Felix was perfectly
adoptable, she said she was happy for his new prosepetive ...

Hey folks,
Any ideas to help with this situation would be appreciated.
In mid June I trapped a cat as part of a TTVAR program in a large
colony on the campus of a state hospital.  The cat was fixed by

New to your group.
The kittens are about 8 weeks old (lots of fun).
They were rescued from being destroyed. They lived under a mobil in a
rural area.

Is there any way to know if a cat is in pain? Are there
any "typical" signs? Besides CRF, my beloved Pop has bladder
cancer. He behaves like his normal self except for urinating very
often and, recently, leaking urine while asleep. He is on Piroxicam,
