I guess we are gonna go thru this again. After these months of feeding Renal
LP and the cat eating it, about the time the vet said he could go off of it,
he decided he didn't want it anymore, ok no problem, time to start finding
something he likes anyway. He just last weekend had ...

I had a guest visit for Thanksgiving who adores cats, and Hodge is just
the kind of aggressive, independent male that he goes for. I got out the
laser toy, pointed it against an opposite floor, and all I heard for
days was how I was going to damage his eyes! It really was kind of ...

Little scabs keep popping up on my cat.  They're all on his back.  I used to
think they were caused by his scratching, but the latest one is in a rather
unlikely place for that to be the case.  He's an indoor cat.
Does he need to go to the vet?

I have always had all of my animals neutered, including a number of
cats.
I believe it is the responsible thing to do and good for the pets'
health.  I know all the arguments for spaying, but I have a good friend

Hey Everyone,
My cat had a litter of 3 kittens 4 weeks ago.  2 of them are healthy
but 1 was born with Spinibifida.  She had thrived so far even thou she
is much smaller, and we are bottle feeding her.  I was just wondering

 "PET DIARIES UNCOVERED"
As seen in a dog's diary:
8am - Oh Boy! Dog food! My favorite!
9am - Oh Boy! A car ride! My favorite

 On the advice of the group, I purchased some cortisone cream for my cats
acne that has gotten rather bad.
Any advice on how to use it? Same dose/frequency as humans? should i rub it
in? will it be dangerous if she licks some off and ingests it?

I'd like to thank the members of this group who were so
helpful to me and Meerli when he was sick.
As it stands now, he is *much* better! He gets his antibiotic
drops for two more days, he's alert, he's now eating and

My 11 month old cat has developed a polyp that originates in the bulla
and has grown into the outer ear, puncturing the ear drum.  Apparently
this is common in young cats.  The only way to fix it is $urgery which
has a high incidence of unpleasant side effects.

Hey, sorry I haven't posted in a while. Been busy and haven't really
been encouraged to post this. After not seeing OneEye in a few weeks
and fearing the worst, I finally saw her a few weeks ago. I had no trap
available to me. She was not very energetic and she looked terrible. So

Hey there,
 About 5 months ago I trapped a black, female kitty approximately two
years old.  She was quite feral.  I had been feeding her for many months
near my office and she never let me pet her.  But every day she was

I haven't posted here in years, but when I did, it was usually seeking good
advice ( and I certainly got lots) regarding my dear elderly cat, Blue. I'm
very sad to say that Blue died just several weeks ago, on Nov. 20th-04, of a
massive stroke, which was due to his recent health ...

Hey folks,
I've been lurking here for a few weeks now and in need some advice from
those with cat/bird experience.
I've been around cats pretty much my entire life and have had a fur unit or

New member to this forum; thanks in advance for any replies!
I was recently married (11/27), and have started to move in with my
wife.  One of the bigger obstacles is the fact that we both have cats;
mine is an 9-year-old aggressive female half-Siamese breed that has

After reading posts here about water fountains, I
bought a Drinkwell at Petsmart.  Our two kittens
(in a separate room because they're FeLV+) took
to it almost immediately.  That was a two weeks ago
