My cat is due to have surgery tommorrow on both eyes to correct
inturning eyelids. He's 8 and I'm a bit concerned about anaesthesia at
this age.
It's being done at the Royal Veterinary College by an experienced eye

Tess, my rolly-polly kitten, cannot drink from bowls without getting
water in her nose and sneezing and therefore will not drink from them
at all. She is very hesitant about how far she dunks her face in so is
always testing the water first with her paws.

I am adopting a cat from a friend but it bites me and I am not sure
how to stop him from doing this.
He is a 6 year old, neutered male, orange-brown short haired cat.  It
has lived as an indoor cat with it's previous owner since it was 4

Next-door's cat has adopted us. We are feeding her as nobody else bothers
to.
She has lost fur about 1 1/2 inches  across on both sides of the bum,
patches are nearly meeting at the tail.

I adopted a 7 week old kitten from the shelter, she's now about 7 months old

I have an 18 year old cat who has, along with me, been howling for six months since her sister died. A healthy feral cat at my community garden had kittens and I want to adopt one (it has cured my howling). I'd like to know all the possible diseases, worms, and so on that might ...

I know that there can be some complications when switching between
different types of cat litter but do people encounter problems
switching between litter boxes? Since I've adopted my cat 4 months ago
I've used a regular litterbox but I'd like to try a covered litterbox

I am looking for suggestions on how to train a young adult cat to use a
litter box indoors this winter, instead of doing his business outdoors.
My wife and I adopted (or were adopted by) a semi-stray cat in our
neighborhood this Summer.  A nearby family had been minimally looking ...

For a while, I've been contemplating switching vets. I was *very*
disappointed at the way they prescribed food for my Tucker, which
caused him to gain 5 pounds--and their only answer was "oh, sometimes
this food doesn't work." There are other reasons for making the switch

my boyfriend is feeding a mother & her three teens where he works.  . He
had them all fixed  & released them back to their environment. There are
three 6 mos old kittens & their mother. The SPCA said the kittens were
too old to be sociaized & would not accept them .

I'VE NOTICED THAT SOMEONE HAS POSTED A PARANOID & INSANELY-BASED
MESSAGE USING MY NAME (Iain Halder) & E-MAIL ADDRESS!!!

My cat needs some help. He's 10 years old and has either liver disease
or lymphoma. He's needs a biopsy but I really, honestly, can't afford
it at this time. During the past couple of months, his health has
declined. He's lost about 4 pounds and seems nauseous most of the
