Cats - August 2006

I am thinking about neutering my cat Gangsta because he keeps spraying on my furniture in my house. I don't have a lot of money so I figured if I got the right tools I could do it. Has anyone done this before? I know I will need plyers and a razor but where do I get the seditive for my cat? Any suggestions

I just adopted a kitten from the Humane Society. He got sick and I took him to the vet. They tested him for Herpes. Said it is not the same as humans but is in the same family. He had one eye that was running and did a lot of sneezing. They said it is a virus that causes him to be more prone to getting respiratory infections. I have never heard of a cat with it before. They told me that 99.9% of cats have it, just do not show symptoms like my kitten. Just wondering if I have the only cat diagnosed with Herpes. He is only contagious to other cats. He is not contagious to dogs or humans. They said they give it to other cats by sneezing or touching their noses to each other.

The question is, who did you like better, the puppies or the cat? I personally liked the cat better. Maybe because I like cats more than dogs. Also, the cat reminded me of myself. Kind of calm and cool and keeping my eye out for loud-mouthed little brats, but when they come too close.....HHHHHH!!!!! RRRRRRR!!!!

and it ended up having fleas and ear mites when you got it, would you call the person you bought it from immediately or would you wait 3 weeks?

Saturday afternoon, me and my boyfriend found three stray newborn kittens. The mom never came back, and we took them in to protect them from the rain, the rat poison the city was putting out, and because they looked malnourished. We've been feeding them, just bathed them yesterday, picked off their fleas--just taking care of them.

But here's the thing: we're dog people. I already have a German Shepherd/Collie mix and I need to take in my sister's mini pincher this week for a long term stay. The idea of having 5 animals to look after seems a bit overwhelming.

Me and my boyfriend think the best thing to do is to take the kittens to a no-kill shelter, but I feel so guilty about it. I'm beginning to wonder if we should have took them in or left them outside, and I'm scared about the quality of care at any shelter. I feel so responsible for them so I don't know if we should try to keep them.

What do you guys think? I'm really struggling with this one--emotionally

What if we sent all the cats to N Korea to feed all the starving people. Seriously, they do eat cats over there and maybe we could get the N Koreans to like us if we did that

I am taking my kitty to get spayed on Thursday. They give her pain medication, and the procedure is done by lasers, so she can come home that day. I was wondering if she will be mad being at the vet's all day, and what will she act like after it's done? I want her to be healthy, and not go into heat so much!

I have two kittens and a full grown cat who are finally beginning to get along- the new problem is that one of the kittens is a PIG! He tries to steal everyone's food right off of their plates- we tell him "NO" firmly and put him back on the floor (because at this point he's almost in our plates)- we do this regularly while eating and preparing food- he hasn't gotten any better- I've heard that some people use a spray bottle of water for disciplining their cats- but I don't know if this is a reasonable way to reprimand him or if it is just plain mean- I don't want to give him too harsh of a punishment that he doesn't deserve- please let me know what you think (is this mean or should I do it?)

My mom and my brother are allergic to cats. I'm planning on getting a cat, but i need a way of keeping them from having to much of an allergic reaction. I asked this question before but everyone told me not to get one, I'm looking for ways to reduce the dander, not advice on wether i should get a cat or not.

I have an old female cat. She is very tolerant. I found the perfect cat but she is already 3 years old. My old cat can come and go as she pleases but this cat would be totally indoors. Do you think they could get along?

Everytime i open my windows i am beseiged by my neighbours 4 cats, this poses a bit of a problem as i am allergic to them, thankfully not too severely but it still causes me a lot of discomfort. I get on rather well with my neighbour who owns them so a peaceful non harming method is one im searching for (unlike my fathers idea of stringing a small electric fence across my window sills), any ideas anyone???

My boyfriend moved in recently and the cats have been acting different. I know they just have to adjust. But I will not tolerate them going to the bathroom on my couch when they have a clean liter box. How can I get them to stop.

Treadmill for cats? Are you serious??? And if this is an invention you are considering, congrats... cause it's no longer a secret. Hey, how about an exercise bike for dogs. Are people really that stupid??? I have to say, Yahoo! Answers offers tremendous entertainment value!
