My mom has a cat who vomits more than seems normal, and she asked me
to post here for advice. She's been through two vets and every idea
they both recommended, without any improvement.
Every week, she has a couple of days that she'll vomit three to four

Anybody in Chicago know of a low-income vet services program?
I'm living on unemployment, which isn't even enough to pay my bills, and
my cats need shots and some other really minor care.
I was told to try the anti-cruelty society, and their website does

My cats brought in a baby squirrel and I saved its neck (a scene that looked
like the silliest slapstick movie you can imagine, up and down two levels of
stairs), but the little critter nipped me a couple of times.  I loosed him
on the front porch and he scurried off.

We have two seven year-old brothers--Buck (long black hair) and Curly
(Siamese in appearance).  They have always lived together and gotten
along well, with only minor brief hissing incidents occassionally.
Most of the time they were good pals, spending lots of time sitting

I tried to post this last night through Google Groups but something
happened. Please forgive me if it's a double post.
One of my cats is suddenly hissing and growling whenever she is in
close proximity to her sister. She even sometimes runs at her and

Elmo is five months old and has boundless energy.  He loves to bat a
practice golf ball around the room.  This evening, I threw his ball across
the room - through the open door and into the adjoining room.  Elmo took

Does anyone know how this presents itself?

I posted a while back about my foster kitten Ana, who had seizures and was
diagnosed with PSS.
Just wanted to update that she is doing very well, hasn't had any seizures
since.  She is a very active kitten, about 5 months old now.  Ana is small

We have a beautiful 15 year old small framed cat and this year her
temperament has completely changed. Our dog has brought in some fleas
this year and we applied a flea powder to the cat which has always
worked. Maybe we were a little late in realizing she had the fleas as

Help!
My 12 week old kitten keeps sneezing. I'm a bit worried, I hope she's
not ill.
The house is warm and she doesn't go outside. She's had her first

I spoke to a friend who also had gone to the cat show and got more
information about the adopt-a-thon part of the show. It was a combined
effort by several groups including North Shore and Petco. If you
wanted to adopt a cat from any of them you had to provide references

There is a debate going on in a thread about whether or not "moggie" is a
derogatory term.
I, as I suspect other US cat-lovers, picked up the term here from our UK
friends, thinking it to mean an affectionate name for our mixed-breed cats.

Please look at these pictures and comment on the deformed teeth.  This
feral kitten's going in for exam and neutering Sunday and I wonder what
the vet will do to correct the problem, if anything.

My cat has been coughing and hacking up hairballs recently.
I did buy her some remedy.
