She thinks cats are a disposable item and in no way deserve prpop[er
medical care if sick........she is of the belief that cats can survive
on what they find to eat just fine and do not need any suppl;emental
feed, yet she herself weighs in excess of 400 pounds.........What

My cat is blind, and therefore, when she freaks out, she doesn't know what
she's attacking, where she's attacking, and probably even why! She just
started and is freaking out as I type! She's done it before and when it
happens, it lasts for about a week. A long time of no sleep. ...

I am looking to get a new kitten since my Snickers passed away on Feb
5, 2007. I was speaking with a lady that is selling kittens. I was
telling her that my family normally declaws all the paws. She was
telling me that declawing all the paws on cats can alter their

I got a call earlier yesterday evening, to say that Karen thought
Tiggy was ready to deliver her kittens, so I went flying round there
in my sterile clothes & well washed hands too...
After a long labour (7ish hours!), Tiggy has safely delivered

Two days ago, one (or both) of our 2 cats started leaving small tirds
(sorry - seems the most descriptive term)over the house.  It has
happened 3 times so far, twice in the last 24 hours.  They are 8 years
old and this has never been a problem before!

My 5 month old kitten has begun to spray around the house.  I have
contacted my vet to set up a time to have him neutered and they are
REFUSING to do it.  They have indicated that he is too young as he is
not yet 6 months old and that it will be too hard on his body (note:

I would like to know if anyone has had a cat diagnosed with idiopathic
(unknown cause) chylothorax. My 16 year old cat has developed this
condition and it has been very frustrating. My primary vet referred me
to a cardiologist after the lab report confirmed that the chest fluid

My mother's indoor, very skittish 9 month old kitten accidentally got out
yesterday and is still missing.  She and I are both sick with worry.  It's
cold and rainy here today and she's a very small, very skittish cat.
My mother has called all the local vets and kennels and put up ...

I just had lunch with a friend who told me her cat has been licking his
tummy in one spot - for all it's life, leaving a bald spot!
Why would a cat do this?
Indoor / outdoor, 7 years old, other than the licking - acts perfectly

I have a female tabby, left at my front door 2 years ago, that is
probably 13-16 yrs old. While sitting on my bed yesterday she
suddenly
flopped over and laid very still for some minutes. She appeared to be

Hi everyone.  So, I am panic stricken as I am sure most of you all are of
this pet recall.  I feed my guys Iams wet pouches.  When I checked the code
on the back of the pouches, they match the plant code number but thankfully
not the date code.  My question is, and not sure if ...
