Just adopted a 3yr.old from a shelter; and need to learn about caring for
cats. Is there a website or a book you recommend. A few ques. I have are:
1. Her fur is not shiny, and she has dry skin- do I bathe her
2. What about cat insurance? Does it cover well care and shots, or just

I thought only dogs kept eating even when they are full. I was the one
who started the thread about the cat with the hanging belly. Everytime
I turn around this cat is at the food. It's dry food and always left
out for him. I have no idea how old the cat is as our former tenants

I have the enclosed litter box where there is a clear flap door and
kitty goes in and out.   Otherwise my kitty likes to dig hard and just
make litter fly outside.
I am having too much problem with the litter being tracked.

I have beautiful cat appropriately named 'Friend' that may have come
down with FIP.  He's a loving friend, never having seen a lap he didn't
like (even on non cat-lovers). My other four cats, while I love them,
only notice my existence upon feeding time.

Hi, my kitten is really not interested in any toy unless I am there to
fling it around.  His favorite is the grey fur mouse on a string that
looked more realistic.  I would very rarely catch him playing with a

weighs 17.9 pounds.  He is 35 percent over his ideal weight and is now
on Hill's r/d canned and dry.  He's supposed to lose 5 pounds over the
next several months.  He got his distemper and rabies shot (state law

Picked a new kitten up today from the rescue centre. She's 15 weeks
old. Now she's home we've noticed her eyes have a clear discharge and
she sneezes occasionally.
She's had all her jabs. Is it anything we should be worried about?

My wife and I adopted two female litter-mates from the shelter in
January;  born October seventh last year; spayed before we took them
home; calico and grey tiger-striped mix.  
Coie has a little more of the calico coloring on her face and Callie

I was ordering something from PetsMart, so I also ordered three
varieties of Whiskas Temptations. Hodge liked and ate the chicken but
didn't go quite as nutso as I'd hoped. And this a cat who will literally
try to get food out of your mouth if you let him get too close . . .

We have three cats, the oldest is 9 years old and sleeps much
more than the two younger cats.  Is is normal for older cats
to do a lot of sleeping?
