I was in the kitchen for a cigarette break and Tiger came up from the
basement to visit me. He was hunkered down, sniffing the floor, and
then I called him. His tail shot up like a big balloon and he came
over to "cheek" my leg.

Some of you may recall me asking a couple of months ago how to fatten up
a scrawny kitten.  Well, I've done it.  Cream and bits of cheese.
He loved the cream so much and wanted to continue on with it (while I
don't want to make him OBESE) that I started buying cat-milk.  I didn't

Is it inappropriate to ask a veterinarian for a discount on
vaccinations/treatments for multiple (3-4) cats? Without a discount
it's going to cost $390-$500. All but one of these cats are strays. I
was told that this vet hospital doesn't give discounts although

I'm new to this board and need a "support system" to help me deal with
issues with my kitty.  Elvis is 13 years old.  I found him when he was
about 1 yr old. In January, I noticed he had swelling on the right side of
his face. Took him to vet...to make a short story, I took him to ...

My cat just went through surgery to unblock his urinary tract.  They
sent him home with the Hill's C/D food and he does not like it.  Does
anyone know of any other food that is similar to this C/D diet?  I need
to try something else for him...does Iam's have a similar product out

Hi...Well, Monday night I went out to the shelter...I always used to go
when I was sad about anything -  petting the dogs and kitties always
cheered me up. I wasn't looking to adopt - the thought of a cat running
around in Kitty's place was too strange!

I'm going to look at a shelter for a new kitty.  I've been looking on
petfinder.org the last couple days.  This guy looks ALOT like Elvis. He has
to be tested for the nasty diseases and they said they aren't even sure if
he's neutered.  But I'll take care of all that.  Randi is ...

My cat is male, 3 years old...he doesn't eat much. Are there any foods that
cats just love to eat?
I tried Wellness canned, but he recoils from it. Whiskas is OK, he licks
the sauce. Fancy Feast doesn't get much of a reaction.

I'm stumped.  I adopted a five year old cat a nine days ago.  In all
the time he's been here I've found a very small amount of poop in his
litter box once.  Since then nothing.
Four days after getting him I took him to the vet for a general

Updating on my "elderly" (well, he's 9.5 years) Balinese boy.
Fructosamine came back in the "stressed" rather than diabetic range.
T4 came back at plum in the middle of the normal range.  The vet said
next we should take a stool sample and send it off to see if he's

I found this on another alt. discuss animal group without much
response. I know some of you here work in shelters and maybe you could
help this guy out?? It's pretty heartbreaking:
Here in Harlan Kentucky, the animal shelter is awful. There is no

When Abbey died, we knew that Tiger would be lonely. He was a farm-cat
with a lot of energy, who always tried to play with our other cats,
but was rebuffed.
So we made the decision to buy a purebreed cat whose reputed

I read this on another newsgroup.  Someone said cats continue to go into
heat every three weeks while they are pregnant, and conceive another litter.
I've never fostered a pg momma cat, the ones I've had already gave birth.
My fellow fosterers say that pg cats get cranky, but no ...

This is just a funny little story and will hopefully get a few other funny
little stories about our fur babies and their food.
We feed Delilah and Stella wet food for their meals each day and a bowl of
dry food overnight. During the day, the dry food dishes (2) are kept in a

Antonio started doing this thing a few months ago.  If I'm standing in one
spot for a while, he will let out his little squeaky meow, and put his front
paws up on my legs.  It's as if he wants attention, but he's still wary of
petting.  If I go to pet him, he swats.  I can only ...
