I've got a new unhomed cat that showed up on my deck about 2 weeks ago.
Usually it was for her daily nighttime "fast food" - she'd eat and
disappear.  But now tonight she finally let me pet her and she also let
me lift her into my arms.  I wanted to bring her inside, because she

Kato, my Lilac and cream calico, has moved on to kitty heaven after 16
good years.  I will miss her.  She was up and down over the last year
and a half but she still had mostly good times.  Goodbye old friend.
It may be many years before we meet again.  A verse from Robert Frost

I thought that all cats liked catnip and chewies, don't they?. As Chloe our
new acquisition (see earlier recent postings) deserves treats I bought her
both. She won't touch either. Funny puss! She
won't eat her breakfast until I get up or dinner until we have served up and

On December 7, I bought a canister of helium and some mylar balloons,
filled two of them and attached a nylon string which hangs 1 or 2 feet
above the floor. The first pair of balloons is mostly deflated but
still holding up. My male cat is still playing with the string.

Howdy all-
I have a roughly four year old cat that I originally adopted at about 9
months from the SPCA. When I first brought her home, I found that she
would occsionally like to eat cheese, egg, or other "cat type" human

Chloe is always at the dried food but never drinks water. However she goes
for the Purina pouches and licks up the gravy or jelly but ignores the meat
so we end up throwing it away. So is she getting enough liquid?
Also, how do you get a cat on the scales as she won't allow being ...

I wonder if anyone in this group would be so kind as to give me some
advice with regard to increasing muscle and fat in one of my kittens.  I
have four of them and they are all about five months old (same mother).
The last one to be born remains clearly "boney" and "skinny" in

Can anyone enlighten me on Iams cat food?  My 2 were always feed Nutro and
did okay on it.  My husband got two free coupons for Iams and bought the
bags (two different flavors) at first he said we would only feed them it as
snacks.  To make a long story short, they are now eating it ...

As some know, we have rescued a sweet 6 month old kitten and have
named her Isis (why?  Because like all cats, she knows she is a
goddess and is to be worshipped!).  
So, now she wants to play.  ALL the time.  When I'm sleeping.  She

My mum has come down to my house for awhile to celebrate christmas, and
she dicided to bring her cat(which has it's own issues, but I'm not
going to go into that) Anyways, Lucky has been acting really
territorial... She hisses and growls at tribble(mum's cat) and doesn't

Some of you already know what I'm going through with one of the new
kittens. She is small, has on-again/off-again problems with her
eyes gooping up and I now have three different ointments for her,
one with steroids. The one with steroids was prescribed this past

I wish you love and purrs, which amounts to the same thing.

Hi everyone ~
Xmas at my house, but I have Fatass and my brother is allergic.  I will
move Fatass upstairs with food/water/box, will sweep and vacuum floors,
rugs, and furniture, but what else can I do?

If you read my recent posts despairing of my CRF cat's renal problem and
recent crisis you'll recall how worried I was when she refused to eat the
diet after her hospitalisation. She was eating nothing at all and I gave her
Whiskas for about a week just to get her to eat.

My 10 month old male cat meows constantly as he walks from room to room.
There are three cats in the home Chevy 10 month male, Sally 3 year female
siamese, and Bill 21 year old male. This cat is much like a dog as he
replies and or comes to me when his name is called.  He listens to ...
