As I said before, we've had a hard time getting Oreo and Gabe to play with
any 'cat' toys.  They don't like the balls with bells, the furry mice, the
hanging ropes, anything with catnip... you get my drift!  (Gabe does like
laying on paper, never really figured that out)  But, I'm ...

My husband and I would like to take our indoor-only cats out for the
occasional wander.  I know about harnesses and walking jackets, but I
would rather not use something like Advantage if we only take them out
a few times a week during good weather.

I had to surrender Henry because I did not have the time to properly
integrate him into our two-cat household. Given the wildness of our
resident Bengal, it may in fact have been impossible to do so. With
Megan's help we found a permanent home for him, and I had a chance to

I hope you can help me!  We live in a small, quiet nieghborhood and our 2
cats come and go as they please via a cat door. One of the cats has a
compulsion to bring in bugs (moths and grasshoppers mostly) on a daily
basis. I have locked the cat door until I can come up with a ...

Louis the Bengal will attempt to eat anything that remotely resembles
food. So far, this hasn't been an issue. Our own theory is that he
fancies himself still wild, and scavenging, just to be contrary.
The other night, I found him chewing on a capsule of 5-HTP that had

Stinky is one of two cats at work (bookstore).  Stinky & harriet were
adopted together in February 1999.  Stinky was 3 months, Harriet 1 1.2
years.  Stinky was a typical kitten, loved to play and meet new people and
try new things.  When she was around a year old, she started ...

Our young desexed female cat, still flirts and behaves as if she is on heat
every few weeks. Is this normal?

Hi I would really appreciate any advice.
My cat Missy came in the house Tuesday evening and we noticed she had a
small cut under her eye. We cleaned this up and thought she must have been
in a minor scrape with another cat. Last night she fell asleep at the foot

Hi everyone! I was wondering how many of you have indoor cats?
I have three and they enjoy going outside on my deck, but I was
frustrated by how to allow them that luxury and still keep them
contained and safe. I tried a KittyWalk Deck and Patio, but was

Nows here's something I could use, a good walk.
I work hard and sweat, but this does not replace aerobics, getting my
heart rate up.
I think I will leash my cat and take him on a walk.

Wendell ate a piece of a plastic streamer that came off of one of his
toys. Usually he just chews on this type of thing but by the time I got
into his mouth he had eaten it. He has not had a bm since. (This was
Saturday night, and it's Monday at 5 a.m. now). At what point do I

Two years ago our cat was found to have elevated liver values.  An
ultrasound and further blood tests did not pinpoint any reason.  She,
however, seemed healthy and continued to lead a normal life.  A couple
months ago she began to lose weight and to vomit occasionally.

One of my cats a short haired black 5 year old has had a case of dandruff
for a very long time.  The Vet once told me that it shows up when they are
at the doctor's office and are scared and nervous.
Problem is that he has it all the time.  I feed him Max cat food (dry- won't

Poor Persians.  Bred for a feature which makes it hard for them to breathe
and leaves them susceptible to upper respiratory infections.  Purchased for
their beauty and status as a "rich person's cat", but then neglected because
they require so much work.
