Our aged female has been accumulating tiny scabs on her back.  She
doesn't have any critters such as fleas biting her and she lives
indoors.  What could this be?

I've been feeding this cat for a few weeks now and we have established
a routine. As soon as it gets dark I bring out the food and he (she?)
shows up. I get rubbed a bit as I scoop out the food. I could have
grabbed him yesterday or today, but I can't deal with him yet. I've

Bently cat's owner has asked me for an informative website on
"hyperthyroid".
Does anyone know of a site with good information?
Thanks,

Hello. I have been given a second hand scratching tower - the ones

Chooch had his MRI scan on Tuesday and I visited the hospital yesterday to
get the results. Not good news I'm afraid. The tumour is pretty massive
internally. The lump on his shoulder is really the "tip of the iceberg".

Hello.  I have a purebred Ragamuffin cat and am having difficulty keeping him

I just brought Molly, my CRF kitty back from the vet's.  She's been doing
reasonably well with her CRF but over the weekend she started eating less
and seemed a bit wobbly.  Today she actually fell over several times while
trying to navigate around and seemed very weak.  Needless ...

Hi, everyone:  The last few days, I have noticed something very strange:
Bullwinkle's tail has gotten quite skinny. He is a medium-to-long-haired
tuxedo cat, and his tail has always been rather thick, especially at the
base. Overall, it doesn't seem as if his fur has gotten ...

Hello to everyone in this group. I have 3 cats and they are not only
outdoors cats but indoors cats as well. My eldest cat (Velvet, soon to be a
5-years old) likes to be outdoors, even in winter. I live on a farm.
The other day I was up before sunrise and I saw Velvet on the porch ...

All,
Thanks to all who have voiced their advice and concern.  It looks like
Orion is gaining a little momentum and is starting to eat again.  It
