I have a cat but this is not about her, it is about a group of raccoons
(one adult and five children). They have been spotted sniffing around
our and our neighbors' yards and porchces this summer, mostly late
nights.

My cat decides to "sebum" everything in site when he sees me pull one of his
food plates out of the cupboard.
He head-butts, rubs his chin, cheeks, nose.... I think he's just placing
that ode-de-kitty all over the place.

Someone force-fed a firecracker to a poor cat... (there are no images in the
link but there are details).

I haven't heard any word on the condition of Esther's cat but I am planning

Don't buy the Bamboo CatFisher.  It's a cheap (but real) fish pole with a
toy mouse attached to the end of real fishing line.
The package made me think it would be great fun for my cat since I've pulled
thread along and he's chased after it before.  Five minutes into playing

Has anybody any recommendations for Catteries in Warwickshire
(Rugby/Coventry area) We would prefer just cats, not dogs etc as one of our
cats is extremely nervous and usually has tranquilisers to stop over
grooming.

Has anyone else ever had a problem like this.My cat every year at this time
of the year gets a black speckled rash-like appearance under her chin for
about a month.You rub it and it goes a little bald in that spot.My vet said
she was allergic to plastic food dishes,but I got rid ...

Not really meant in a disparaging way.But my cat Taboo has always been a
high flyer. In the (large) garage, he would (the method I found later) jump
on the deck of my pinball machine, then the back, then the top of the door
if it was open, finally the rafters of the garage. A good ...

One of my cat's eyes is red, swollen & weeping badly & he is not happy & is
squinting a lot.
I've just got home from work & it's too late to get to the vet today.
Anyone have any temporary safe remedies?

My vet, who has seen my healthy cat regularly, has told me that its
time for him to have his teeth cleaned.  He explained that this is
generally a routine procedure but was clear to explain that there is
always some risk with anesthesia, which now worries me!

Our tortoise-shell cat Sadie is one of those cats who's afraid of
-everything-.  We call her Sadie the 'Fraidy Cat.  
If she's sleeping on our bed and I come into the room to change my
shirt or something she wakes up, her eyes get really big, she tenses

We have a New Thing. I got a houseplant for my kitchen table. I wanted to
add a little color to my kitchen. It's called a Dutch Treat. It's really a
fig tree from southeast Asia but it can be a houseplant if you keep it
trimmed.
