Male and female couple - newly married but older than me - I'd say late
40's early 50's.    They have a cat they let roam all day and all
night.  He is *adorable* - black and white tux, named Buster.  The

My cat Otto, almost 7 years old, started acting weird Wednesday.  On
Thursday he went to the vet who diagnosed colitis.  He said it would
probably pass in a few days and it could have been brought on by stress.
Otto barely ate breakfast on Wednesday (and threw up what he did eat) ...

HI my cat has a white spot about the size of a dime that no fur grows
on on his back. I thought it was ringworm but it's been there for a
while and is not spreading and I have not developed any ringworm spots.
Any ideas on what it may be based on the description?

I adopted a tiny, cute 1.5 y.o. female from SPCA and have struggled
with her for almost 3 years.  On a dime, she will turn and bite or
scratch me.  I had a friend over for brunch the other day and she drew
blood!  Any suggestions?  She is a very nervous cat.

my 6month old kitten has just started pnating pretty hard after about

I guess I'm lucky it lasted even 6 days!  ;>
For Mother's Day I got a *very* nice leather desk chair for my office (what
was DH thinking getting leather??!) - perfectly shaped and proportioned to

A friend of mine in Australia just told me that the Feliway diffuser was
(or might be?) taken off the market because it's affecting humans..
I can't seem to find anything on the 'net about this.  Can anyone
provide any info?  I really wanted to have a couple diffusers installed

For those of you who would like an eye-opening, thought-provoking look at
American (and world) politics, I highly recommend Taylor Caldwell's "The

Coworker of mine was talking to me about wanting to adopt a puppy or
dog. I told her dogs were an awful lot of work and another co-worker
told her how willful some dogs can be.
Well I explained to her that cats weren't aloof, that they were very

Hi all - I am so stressed and need people to keep my baby in their
thoughts today. I recently moved into a new house last week and it
backs onto a forest, with few neighbours. Anyway I haven't let my cat
out because I wanted him to become familiar with the territory first on

This is the snake my tiny tabby was afraid of when she saw it on the floor
where my nephew had left it four years ago when I brought her home from the
shelter.
A few months later I got it out again and she began conquering it several

My cat seems to have the classic symptoms of a hair ball.  He vomits
about 10 minutes after eating anything solid.  Even a single piece of
food will make him vomit.  It makes him really miserable for about 10
or 15 minutes and then he's OK.
