I went to the adoption shelter where we got one of our cats and talked to the
lady who runs it. She explaned that the best course of action might be to trap
this cat and have it put down. Her theory: adult ferrals are difficult to
treat, to catch, and especially to medicate for a ...

We got a new intake that has to be the most unusual cat I've ever seen come
through. We've talked about moggies here, and shelter who hang purebred labels
on them, but if I were going to hang a label on this one, I wouldn't know which
one.

Let's put a feline in the White House. Vote Isis for President!

Can anyone explain the peculiar effect certain noises have on my 2 moggies?
In particular it happens with the ringtones on my mobile phone, and if I
whistle a tune. My female cat immediately comes running, and goes a bit
dopey - chirruping, rolling around and headbutting either ...

Sorry for taking so long to update, but I've been dealing with
midterms at school and a sick dog at home!
Trinity is the kitten whose eyes didn't open until 3 weeks, and then
had the eye infection.

Does anyone know anything about arrythmyogenic right ventricular
cardiomyopathy in Birmans? This is a rare genetic heart disease which
is always fatal, and my seal-point Birman is presently dying from it
at 11 1/2 years. He belongs to the old Birman gene pool in the UK and

PJ has been scratching lately, but I didn't know what brand of flea
treatment to get him. On the grocery run to  Wal-Mart today, I found
they had 3 brands; Sergeant's regular and 'gold' varieties, Hartz
(nightmare stories), and another ("Nexxum" or something, about $7.00 ).

Does anyone know where I can download kittens at play video on the
Internet?

After last Monday's escapade with the baby squirrel I was hoping for a
little respite.  No such luck.  Yesterday as I was vacuuming I pushed aside
a piece of furniture and one of my cats was shortly thereafter quite
animated.  I went downstairs, came up an hour later and found 5 ...

Can they get ANY disease from ticks? A friend is adopting a
tick-infested cat and she'd like to know.
Thanks for the groups earlier help on other questions, BTW!!

Thank you  for taking time to reply to this question.  I will look for
the lime sulphur dip.  Impossible to isolate the kitten , so should I
dip all the cats in the group?  
    This sounds like a much bigger problem than I would have

I'm a relatively new cat owner, George has been with me since
September and I have a couple of questions. First off, does raw catnip
sprinkled over the cat food <1 tsp> have the same digestive aid
properties that the grass you can grow for cats has? Also, do cats

Mind you, living in Scotland would give a brick stress.

My six year old Chartreu had a scary event yesterday morning.  
She's been perfectly healthy.  I never saw the episode, but heard her
trashing around and hitting the walls.  When I got to her, she was
over it, trying to stand up and using the wall for support.

Have been following the threads on the dry food Vs canned and wondering how
the sugar content in dry food is listed. I have been feeding Waltham's Renal
LP dry and pouch. Can't seem to find in all the tiny print a sugar content
in the dry food, unless the sugars are in a ...
