So, someone at work today mentions they've seen a black kitten hanging
out near one of the entrances and has anyone else seen it?

posts?
I've tried local fabric stores and online but have had no luck.
Thanks.

of them has worms. Tapeworms. The last time he had them he
was very sick so I was able to pick him up & take him to my vet.
He is not sick so it's impossible to grab him to take him back to

Should I spank my cat if he urinates inside, or is there a better
method to make him urinate outside? He's an adult cat that use to go
outside to urinate. He has a cat flap so that he can go outside.

I can't believe it...I actually let "Duffy's Day" go by unnoticed until I
read some "congratulations" on another group.  Duffy adopted me on Jan. 31,
2003, so we have now had 7 wonderful years together.  He was estimated to be

I'm pretty sure my cat is lactose intolerant. Is this something I'd find as
a cat food (dry or canned) ingredient? If so, how would it be described in

yogert flavored cat food, I think)?

She just figured out that when her head is hidden under the chair and her
hindquarters and tail are hanging out, I can still see her. She used to
think she was hidden if I couldn't see her face.

A friend who is knowledgeable about both cats and herbal therapies told me
that a drop or two of dandelion root tincture in my cat's water bowl every
day helps eliminate toxins and is good for the liver and kidneys.

It was observed here not too long ago that someone's cat will
attack a napkin and tear it to shreds for apparently no reason at all.
Supposedly cats are weird, and not too bright, to do such a thing.
Well, consider this.

My male (9 to 10 years old) has always had some eye discharge.  I
never actually saw the discharge but every other day or so here would
be some small black gunk in the corners of his eyes.  I 'd clean them
