Is it ok to wait a couple of years so a cat can have a litter of kittens,
then get it spaid?  My mother said there can be complications, but how
likely are they and how severe are they?  The cat in question is currently
about 1yr old and is a chocolate point siamese mix.

We have just been told from blood tests that are cat has diabetes and needs
insulin everyday. Is this very common and can you help with some advice. She is
only 10 years old. Been told see can eat chicken. Diabetes in animals never
heard of it before.

I have a 5 month old kitten who's been with me since he was 4 weeks old.  
He's decided I'm his mother, and, well, he's right.  ;-)
Anyway, he's very attached to me and likes to be physically close as
much of the time as possible -- when he's not harassing his older feline

Well, a cat walked into my life today.  I'm not good on kitten ages,
but she looks to me to be between 3-6 months.  It looks like some of
her pre-molars and molars are still erupting.  Anyone know how old
that makes her?  What should I look for?

hi, my kitten's lower lip/chin is swollen all the time, and this is making
her itch all the time in that area, which in turns make her scratch the itch
until she starts to bleed. .. .. does anyone know what is the cause of this?
... thanks ...

I am 5 1/2 weeks pregnant and as you may know from my posts, a certified
Crazy Cat Lady.  I have 6 cats and one permanent foster and do a lot of
fostering: kittens, momma and kittens, semi-feral, cat needs a break from
the shelter, etc.  And I also volunteer nearly 40 hrs a week ...

I adopted a feral snowshoe siamese from a rescue about 3 years ago. She
had to be trapped, and was spayed there. It took me 3 months to gain her
trust, but she has turned out to be a sweet kitty.
  This cat sprays--bad. She sprays every bush and weed outside, and

I know there has been some discussion on Wellness Brand cat food before, but
I would like to hear people's opinion's on it. I am thinking of switching my
cats to it (they've tested it out - the canned food - and love it!!).
I have one cat with CRF - he is currently on Hills x/d (dry ...

Our male cat, approx 2 years old, has a smallish white spot on the surface
of the cornea? (clear lens portion) of one of his eyes. It's white, off
center, and 1/32 to 1/16" in diameter. It isn't causing him any discomfort
and I haven't seen any change in 2 days when I first noticed ...

Never-ending saga of getting the world's most finicky cat to eat.  I
think I finally figured out what her problem was:  She didn't like the
lot number.  Even though I called Science Diet and asked if there was a
problem with one of the lots, she still refused to eat the one for

In recent months we have had a high incidence of respiratory problems
with cats in our shelter - some that have had severe sudden-onset
asthma-like symptoms. After one kitten's symptoms cleared up almost
immediately after a change of bedding, we are thinking that laundry

Our little rescue kitten we got when he was 12 days old is now thirteen
weeks.  He eats dry food just fine, but isn't the least bit interested
in the canned food I put out.  He only wants Gerber's baby food, which
I give him twice a day right now, despite the lack of taurine.  I've

My cat always seems to know when we are going to leave,her whole mood
will change.Once we return she is her oldself,any answers?

We are planning to buy a new leather sofa this coming spring and just
wondering about my two adult cats and possible problems ahead of time.
Our present couch is fabric and yes both cats were doing the sharpening
of the claws on the side, but since the couch was very old and wore ...
