We took her on from a friend last year and she's never let me near her. She often swipes at my legs as I walk past! My wife can get away with stroking her and she often sits on my wife's lap, although the cat does occasionally show a temper with her. She spends all her time prowling around the house and seems to insist on pooing in the conservatory, despite having a clean litter tray in her own room upstairs. She's great fun at times but really tries our patience when it comes to her temper, especially against me. Could it be a medical issue / her nature / the way we treat her / a power struggle? Her previous owners were a couple and she never got on with the man there either. Any advice would be valued!

I got my cat from my parents about a year and a half ago. I've tolerated her since, but I'm really getting fed up with her. The meowing, the hair everywhere. I feel bad every time I think of giving her to a stranger, or even worse the pound, but I'm really tired of her. She can't go back to my parents because of allergies, and I don't know anyone else who would take her. What should I do? She's about 4.5 yrs old.

My 2 yr old orange and white tabby, Jelly, has been acting really werid. He is not eating his food, and he isn't using his litter box.
He always has eaten well and used his litter box until this week, when we fed him some new food. I know how to introduce
him to new food, and put a little bit in his bowl until he got used to the new food. Last night, Jelly pooed all over the place. What's wrong with the poor thing?! I'm WORRIED!!!!

My cat has sores on her stomach from her constant licking and scratching her stomach which constantly itches her. We think she is getting the itches from an allergy to being outside on our lanai.

My cat cannot drink milk or eat cat food, red meat or chicken, when she does she brings it back up. I have to feed her tuna, which she doesn't seem to mind. Can anyone tell me more about this?

I am moving to a new place and may need to convert my two indoor-outdoor cats into indoor cats only. I am thinking of getting them a cat condo and cat tree and some toys to make their indoor life interesting. But will this work? Anyone with experience on cat condo and cat trees out there? I'd hate to invest hundreds of dollars on something that will not interest my cats whatever - know you understand.

One of my cats was on the street homeless for a while (I got her from the RSPCA Cat shelter) and she occasionally brings home mice, which she plays with and then dissects in the garden! While I appreciate this gift, does anyone one know how I can reduce or discourage her from doing this? Shes quite young (nearly 2 now) and was found on the streets about a year ago having already had kittens.

I have these two stray cats that wander around at nighttime that wander around my house at night, and my hope is that I can befreind them enough so that they can come around my house more often like it was a safe zone.I've actually made attempts to approach these cats in order to feed them, but they run away when I come close to them, and I just worry about them because as strays, anything could happen to them, and I just want them as safe as possible. Before I can do that, though, I need advice on how to befriend these cats so I can be percieved as a foodboy and not as an enemy or hunter. Any advice?

I have tried everthing I can think of-- squirt gun, tin foil, double sided tape, noise makers, etc. Nothing makes a big enough impression on her to keep her from jumping right back up there. What else can I try?

I know that fleas are very dangerous for the babies. I didn't find out until Patches was already pg that she had fleas, so I couldn't use anything on her or it would have gotten to the babies. Now the kittens, mommy, and their bed are full of fleas. The babies are a week old. How can I get rid of them without harming any of them? I don't want to lose them because of flea infestation. Please help! I only have about $10 until this weekend, so I can't get very much. And I don't have a flea comb. Can I get a flea comb, comb the babies, and dip the comb in a bowl of water with soap to kill the fleas? What can I use on Patches so it won't harm the babies when they crawl all over her? I can wash the bed in hot water, but not until they are all treated. I am very concerned and plan to call the vet tomorrow, but was wondering if anyone can help me. I also have another adult cat with fleas that doesn't go around the babies and I do plan to get her treated right away.

I have a female cat and she is definately an out door cat. She refuses to stay indoors. I am moving to another home and I am taking her with me. I am afraid when I move there and if she gets out she might freak out and get lost or run away...Should I force her to stay indoors and for how long? Any suggestions?

She didn't kill it, she just caught it and it seemed like she was playing with it, which meant I had to kill it. I haven't bathed her yet and I have no idea if the mouse had any infections but am not sure if I should bathe her as I know cats are very clean animals. Should I bathe (wipe her down) her and is it possible for her to catch any diseases from the mouse?
