You know those times when you are petting your cat as she sits in your lap and she begins to purr. She then starts to dig his/her nails into. I wear very thin clothing but I like the feeling of my cat sitting in my lap. any suggestions for anti clawing???

my cat's constant companion, an older cat of ours, reently passed away (he was 19!). since then, my cat has been acting differently. he cries alot and seems to run and hide when you come near him. knowing my cat, that's unusual behavior, as he's very loving and affectionate, and relatively quiet. we do have another cat but he just seems to ignore her now. is it possible he's going through a grieving stage? how can i help him out?

He is 10 mons. A chiguagua pure breed. The hospital would not see him, cause I didn't have money. I even took something he threw up (looked like pieces of raw liver), tried boiled rice and ground turkey, it worked for two days, but he's worst now. I can't lose him. He's all I have. Please help!!!

We live in Southern california, in the hot dry foothills. We have a half acre of already landscaped/fenced yard (1.5 acres total), two dachshunds and little kids. Specifically, what are the friendliest types of tortoise, and what types would thrive best here. We have mulberry trees, grape vines, dandilion, rosemary, roses, sugarcane, acacia tree, floss silk tree, Avocado, palms, fescue etc in the yard, and would like to feed fresh, local foods, what can they eat from our yard? What else can I plant/feed that grows in my area? What is the best housing, and any other general tips.

my cat likes to use my couch as a scratch board, even though he has a actual scratch board of his own that he uses frequently, he also has his own bed that he sleeps in frequently, but he still sleeps on my couch. If anyone has any tips to help break my cat of these habits, I would greatly appreciate it.

My cat is injuried don't know if his temporarily paralyze. His nails are all scratched up. His belly is swollen. I am a first time cat own. I took him to the vet and the vet gave him a shot of steroids along with a prescription of prednisone. I do not know what the prescription it is for. The vet wanted to run some test & take X-rays. If i had the money it would have came up to about $300. I am on a fixed income with four children we live in a very small community. It was hard for me not to let the vet do his job. Can someone who has been through the same experiment PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

My cat is 10 and is a mostly indoor cat. My roomate just moved in a month ago with a big labrador retreiver who is almost two. The dog wants to be friends, but whenver the dog appraoches the cat, she hisses and swats at him. Whenever they are even on the same floor of the house, my cat hides and growls. Will they ever be buddies? I have major puss-y problems!! (and I mean that seriously!)

My cat goes to the vet like, around every couple of months. That's when he starts coughing and sneezing and green snot comes out of his nose and he starts losing hair on his back end and behind his ears. He itches so bad that he makes himself bleed and gets scabs all over. He bring him to the vet just about every other month and it's REALLY starting to wear on us. We LOVE him, he's our little buddy, but is there any way we can maintain a healthy lifestyle for him to keep him in peak shape? He's 10 years old and healthy otherwise. Is there any food or suppliment that you could suggest that I could use on my little bugger? ANYTHING. He's such a nice cat and I hate to see him go through this, you know? I almost want to cry.... Please, I'll take just about any suggestion and try it.

My poodle had a litter in July and she is due to go into heat again,according to her previous owner. I dont know much about my poodle, Mocha, because I have only had her 3 weeks. I noticed that she has been breathing heavily for the last 2 days. what could that mean? My mother in law is a vetinary(sp?) asst but I live in san diego and she is in Louisiana. I told her about the heavy breathing and she said that Mocha may have ate something that is irritating her throat and trying to clear it out but she isnt hacking she is breathing. I want to take her to the vet but I dont REALLY want to spend the money if its nothing. If i dont figure it out I will take her next week

My dog is going nuts, she's a 3 year old toy fox terrier, and we think that she might have gotten into a friends diet pills. She had these diet pills that made her all pumped up. So our dog is running around in circles acting like she's guarding and stuff, its kind of weird, wouldn't even eat treats. Listens to commands but is just a complete spaz. She's normally very lazy and relaxed. What could it be, and could it do long term damager?

I am taking care of a friends cat for a while and he has been limping. After examing his leg (which didn't bother him in the least) I noticed that he wouldn't exend his claws. When I looked 1 nail is disolored and that's when he jumped a little. I want to take him to the vet but it's not my cat. Just wanting to know if anyone has dealt with this or not before I take my friends cat to the vet?
