This is my first post to the group, so I hope this is the right place to
come for advice.
I live with my wife in a small 3bed room house, we have 1 female cat
(Rhubarb).  We took Rhubarb from a rescue about 7 months ago, she is a

We have a small rug, about three feet by five feet which is placed under our
Pebbles (a Maine Coon Cat) litter box. Yesterday we decided to wash the
little rug. When the rug was placed in the dryer Pebbles tried desperately to
get into the laundry room. She laid on the floor and ...

my cat (male, 3.5 years old) had urethra blockage twice before (in a 1.5
year period) due to struvite crystal formation in his bladder
he has been on a specific diet (hills c/d) which is a low-magnesium
acidifying food in order for the crystals to be dissolved. he was also fed

-- A series of a few questions--
i`ve been taking care of these kittens and the mom for a few days. She
doesn't mind my presence, and she comes around and rubs me when she eats and
what-not. I followed her to the back of the room where her kittens are a few

Another thread brought up the difference between cats behavior when
someone comes to the door. The other poster and I both have male cats
who go to the door to see who it is and female cats who hide. Is this
common or just a coincidence?

Arrggg....
There are about 4 neighborhood cats in my area. My next door neighbor feeds
them and I don't mind so much. But one of them had 5 kittens. We don't need
9-10 cats around here. I let the mother care for the kittens and guessed

Ok, so I have a male cat, neutered, approximately 1 year old.  I am
currently fostering 4 kittens that are around 7 weeks old.  Well my cat

I cannot figure out this behavior.  Worse still, one of the kittens

Recently I got a 1 1/2 years old male cat that someone I know couldn't keep.
I already had another female cat about 4 years old. The problem is with two
other cats (my son's) that also live in my house and will be here for

proceded to get to work... did the hair come off I think I probably got
off at least 5 pounds until he heard a neighbors door open and bolted ...

My 7 year old cat has suddenly started flinching (jerking her body and
meowing with attempts to bite my hand) everytime I pet her back, especially
when I get to the middle of her back and all the way towards her tail.  She
appears fine, good appetite, playful, happy, etc.  but all ...

Ok, the cat in my basement is still there, but the kittens arn`t. I don`t
hear mewing or anything down there..and the door to the outside is still
closed. I fed her this morning and she came really close to me and smelled me.
.but she's just sitting around like she doesn't have ...

Our cat is about 17/18 years old and he's losing his appetite, seems to
