Cats - July 2006

We have introduced the two cats decently and they seem to be getting along. It appears as though the older cat is being "motherly" while licking the kitten, but then will just bite the neck. After doing this, he starts to lick again.

I just got a young (approximately 1 y/o) female F4 (fourth generation removed from the Asian Leopard Cat) Bengal cat two days ago. She has been adjusting remarkably, and is especially enjoying walks outside on her leash. I took her to the vet today for a checkup, and she got the clean bill of health.

But I decided to leave her alone for a few hours because she seemed content. I left her at 6:00pm, and checked on her at 9:00pm. When I came in, I found her under the bed (she's taken it up as her hiding place, and comes out whenever called), but then she started gagging, like a hairball was stuck or something. I picked her up, and put her on the hardwood floor. She vomited. It was full liquid (no hair, no chunks), and mostly clear, but obviously vomit. Decided to keep a better eye on her. Came back after half an hour, and there was more on the carpet. And again at 10. She is acting a little nervous, but otherwise fine.

Is it just her being nervous?

I just was given a female cat today that someone found on the side of the road. I already have 2 male cats that are at least a year older than her. Bob and Clint (the males) are close in age, both neurted, and have grown up together (Clint came from the ditch too). The problem is that she was not pleased to meet the boys. When we brought Clint home, Bob and him hissed for a while but it never got bad. But the new girl is ready to take them both on. She's used to being around people and is really friendly to me and my family. I'm going to be taking her to vet this week but I just want to aviod fights while I'm at work. Any ideas?

He used to be an outdoor cat. Now we live in the city, and he is confined to the apartment. He is 17 and toys require a lot of activity. I am thinking that an aquarium, stocked with fish of course, is the equivalent of cat tv. Another mammal is out of the question, as are lizards, amphibians, and birds.

Could there be health risks? They aren't mine, it happened to a friend of mine, but the kittens came out and seem to be healthy, I just wonder if they should be worried about giving them away to people knowing they are inbred.

About a year and a half ago I had a beautiful all black 9 month old cat get really sick and eventually die from FIP. It was devastating. Two months later I was ready to get another pet and found this all black cat at the shelter that had the same eyes as the cat that died. He was 1 1/2 years old. A couple weeks ago he became lethargic and then within the last week stopped getting up to eat. We took him to the vet and they took out 170ml of fluid from around his lungs and found that his tonsils were swallon. Some lab results revealed that it may once again be FIP. He's gotten skinny, I keep trying to offer him a variety of foods and sometimes he laps some of it up, sometimes he doesn't. He's on 5mg of prednisolone 2x/day. He meows like he wants the food (liquid) when we bring it to him but then doesn't eat. I don't know if I should put him to sleep yet or not, part of me doesn't feel he's really sick enough, and part of me doesn't want him to get worse. I hate to see him uncomfortable.

Ok, my mother-in law has 12 cats in her home and she feeds all the neighborhood strays. Her house smells awful because of all the cats running wild. Now, my question is why? why do people like cats so much that they have to horde so many? I had one cat that lived for twenty years and just recently passed on, but I never had the need to get more.I am just trying to get some opinons.

Have you ever tried to eat your cats treats? I was just curious because they say they are meaty flavored. So, I wonder if they truely taste like chicken or beef.
