I have a new Bengal he was a give up by a owner who did not know what she had
gotten into with this breed, he was also urinating on her bed. He doesn't do
that at my house and I 've had him since Christmas. He has had a problem with
diarrhea and has had it since I got him. He has ...

Hi.  Last week upon returning home I found a 7-8 week old blind,
dehydrated, 1lb 2oz kitten. It was below zero out and I was not about
to leave her outside. Been to the vet twice and probably the states
best pet optomologist (sorry for bad spelling).  Apparently her mother

My 2 yo coon cat has a tendancy to lick my hand several times and then
place his teeth on me as if he were going to bite me. He never leaves a
mark, though. Is he just testing me or tasting me? It's kind of funny
when he does it. It's like he can't resist the temptation to take a

I found a mole (?) running around in the house, and my cats were not really
interested in pursuing it and attacking it like they did in the
past with mice, bunnies, chipmunks. I had to pick it up and throw
it out myself. I wonder if the cats were afraid of it. Isnt it unusual

One of my cats is about 1.5 years and has tremors/ muscle spasms
when he sleeps. When I got him he was ~7 weeks old and had been
rescued from a railyard. At first I thought it was a kitten thing
combined with dreams of the rough time he had in the rail yard. (his

On the advice of this group  I decided to order some medicine for my cats
earmites since the stuff I got at the pet store seemed to burn them and
mineral oil wasnt working.
I found a site that will ship to Canada, so I looked at the three options

Well, have been trying to get him to lose some weight since Xmas. On the
26th of Dec. he weighed 18.2 lbs, on the 3d of Jan. he weighed 18.6 lbs. At
that point I reduced his calorie intake to 284.5 calories a day. On the 23d
of this month he weighed 18.7 lbs. Guess I'm gonna have ...

An intact tomcat holds tail straight up  and briefly gives it
a 'flickering', ondulating motion, kinda like a candle flame in the
wind.
Does it mean that he is spraying?

I have a 4-year old Maine Coon that I adopted from a cat shelter about
a year ago.  He was only at the shelter for one week before I adopted
him, but he has had one thing after another since bringing him home.
Of course, I did take him to the vet the first week I got him and the

I have a two related questions to pose to the group.
The first relates to an older cat who is having problems using the litter
box on occasion.
Background:  I have two cats.  The female since she was a kitten.  One year

Please spare me the usual flames.  At least try to feel something for
the cat if not the cat-mom.
A week ago, cat came down with am imfection that cannot be identified
at bladder, tract, or kidney because no one can get urine from her.  

I don't know if anyone else here has mentioned this, but I recently
bought a SpotBot, the walk-away carpet spot cleaner, and I LOVE IT!  I
bought originally because it would be less expensive than replacing the
car seat cover in my car if I could get the ink out.  Since Kami's

I adopted a cute all white kitten when she was six weeks old, four
months ago.
Believing that litter boxes are unhealthy for cats (imagine having to
walk around on litter contaminated with urine and feces) not to

mr pussy wizard (sounds like the tootsie roll tootsie pop
commercial..mr owl?)
how would you talk a cat into not throwing up
they scarf down the food and go throw it up

I'm new here <waves>
What brings me to this group is some recent very odd bloodwork on my cat,
Celia.  I had a long conference with my fabulous vet regarding this, and
will be visiting the vet teaching hospital for an echocardiogram.  I'm just
