My wife and I have a 17 year old mixed breed cat called Dave. Despite
his age he's remarkably playful - he will chase a piece of string for at
least 5-10 minutes before getting bored. He'll also still turn up at my
feet with a variety of outdoor wildlife from time to time. He's a ...

This is my first time here.  I have five cats, two registered and three
Humane Society.
I use the Littermaid LM900 and think it is great.  I have a few ideas
for improving it simply and cheaply at home.  I did a scan of the last

During the last week, Amber has started pulling out tufts of hair -
mostly from her belly.  Amber is 10 1/2 years old, spayed, a little
pudgey but not fat.  She is a typical domestic short hair, orange with
white paws, vest and belly.  Nothing has changed except a slight

I have sleep apnea so I have a breathing machine with a humidifier. A couple
of months ago I opened a new gallon of distilled water and gave 'Inky' the
little blue seal ring. He took off with it and had a dandy time playing
soccer.

Hi, I need some advice pronto on what to do.
A stray pregnant cat has wandered into our backyard and started giving
birth to a litter of kittens. One has already came out dead. We cut
the cord off and buried it. It looks like she has at least 5 or 6 more

A neighbor moved and left me their cat, she's 10 years old and is  normal
size domestic short hair. I had a cat when I was growing up, but don't
remember how much we fed it.
I was told that the Wellness brand is very good, it certainly smells better

Thanks to all who are are trying to help.
I just made her a cardboard nest box so she can get into it if she
wants. While I was making the box another kitten just came out dead. I
hate to call the city pound and have her picked up because they will

Ok so we have three cats, none have been spayed or neutered. (I
complain about it EVERY SINGLE DAY to my roomates, but they aren't my
cats.) I live on the bottom floor, two floors away from my roomates and
thier cats keep using a 3x2 foot area behind my recliner to go #1 & #2.

I know you're mad at me, but I also know you care about cats more than you
care about that (you've said yourself that you'll correspond with someone
you hate in order to help a cat).  Well, I need help for a stray.
This is the little gray cat with the too tight flea collar that I ...

We adopted Delilah and Stella in November 2003... Delilah was about 6 months
and had been a runaway and Stella was about 3 months and was found behind a
grocery store.
From the beginning, it was obvious Stella had not been given the chance to

Interesting note that will probably start a fight, I wondered if Kami's
selective deafness might be due to wax build-up.  I couldn't really see
anything, but thought "couldn't hurt."  There were three or four
different preparations labeled for both cats and dogs with different

Does anyone else's diabetic cat get hiccups?  Mine gets them quite
often, sometimes just for a few minutes, sometimes for ages.  He looks
OK while he's hiccuping (I can only describe it as hiccuping - no
sound just jumping a little at regular intervals), and sometimes

I am a lurker and sometime poster who has been watching the whole
gaubster, steve crane saga the last few weeks. So what is the scoop? I
know that gaubster admitted to working for Hill's and Steve Crane works
for hills, so did they post from the same computer? From the same

At least I'm guessing that it was a seizure. She was down in the
kitchen while I was making breakfast and insisted on some food.
Normally I can't even hear her when she opens her little mouth but she
was actually making noise and since I'm desperately trying to get some
