There are two cats, a mother and daughter, letting us humans live in their household. The mother is probably about 4 to 4-1/2 years old--she adopted us as a stray just over three years ago. She's started to develop quite a pudge on her belly and has begun to have a fold of fat start to form in her lower abdominal area. I think we've stumbled upon an exercise she really likes that will help make her more active--chasing light from a laser penlight up and down the stairs--but I got to wondering, how can someone tell if their cat is too fat? And for those of us who have odd schedules and find it somewhat difficult to keep pets on a regular exercise schedule, is it OK to feed them just every other day? I guess this would be less of an issue if there were only one cat in the house, if it's advisable to lessen the cat's feeding schedule, but not being a veterinary expert, I figured I'd throw the question out here for discussion. Any other suggestions for exercises or toys for the cat?

I bet my husband I would have a cute puppy name by the time I got home, is there a cute name for a tiny Brown Chihuahua, maybe a fairy or a pixie name?? Or a food name??

A week ago I asked about garlic for dogs to help with fleas. Thank you all for your responses on that question.

I got to thinking about when I was younger and remembered about skin-so-soft. I remember it being effective against many different kinds of bugs and was wondering if anyone has ever tried it on dogs for fleas?

Skin-so-soft is cheaper then buying frontline or any of the topical flea treatments and with money being tight, skin-so-soft is soemthing we can fit into our budget at this time.

About a 2 months ago i noticed that my maine coon cat had scabs spreading around his body and was loosing his lovely fur. I took him to the vets and they said he had flea bites but i knew he didnt have fleas as i treat both the house and the cat. They gave him some antibiotics, the scabs have gone but his fur does not seem to be growing back very quickly. Is there anything to help his fur grow or to help with conditioning? Thankyou

I enjoy the company of my cat moreso than my brothers' babies. I get that fuzzy feeling whenever I look at a cute animal but I get nothing out of looking at babies. My family finds it shocking that I would prefer an animal over a human and criticize me for it.

You guys may say that everyone has their own tastes, we're all different, yada yada, but every time they tell me I'm not 'normal' I can't help but feel inhumane...

My family are real bigots when it comes to anything they don't see as 'normal'. I wish I knew how to convince them that just because a person has different feelings doesn't make them crazy...

I can't hold a cracker for that long in my mouth. Once in a while I have to swallow too!
But fish! How they persevere...

Why would i cry more now than i did over it four years ago, and i also have tons of guilt, like i should have looked at shelters. i have no idea what happened to him and i always think the worst. I was not even the one who left the door open.

My kitten was spayed yesterday and since coming home she has only eaten 2 or 3 small pieces of kitten chow. She is drinking water and peeing, but not eating or pooping. She won't eat canned food either. She is walking around and starting to play some. Also, her incision looks really good. But she has an upper respritory infection is on Clavamox for it. How long after surgery does it take for a cat to start eating again or is this related to the stuffy nose? Any suggestions or advice is great. I do plan to call the vet first thing in the morning.

My 8 month old Kitty is sick. She has been throwing up everytime she drinks something. She has been sleeping and not feeling well all day.

I think she may have eaten a wasp...

Her vomit is tinted pink (blood?) and my vet is away for the holiday.There are only 2 vets in my town.

I called another vet and they said that it was hairballs (I do not believe this) I should try some mineral oil - which we did- and if I brought her in tonight, they would start to treat her for this immediately - I think it is more than this, but if I bring her to these people I dont think they will listen to me or take me seriously
.
Has anyone ever been through anything like this? Should I take her to the "hairball" vet (dont like them) or wait out the night and bring her to a different vet in the AM.

I am very worried and I cannot sleep.

She hisses at my husband whenever he picks her up. She bit him and drew blood the other night!
She's a total sweetheart to me....
This is the kitten my cat had back in Sept, that we were originally going to give away but decided to keep. I'm afraid my husband's going to tell me we need to give her away now, since she's "turning mean", as he calls it.
Could there be a reason she's freaking out on him?

I have a 5-year-old Maltese and for years he constantly bites at his claws (similar to a person biting their nails). Does anyone know why he does this?
