Cats - August 2006

Okay, so there's this stray cat (or at least I think it is, it doesn't have any ID or tags or anything) and it's basically been chillin' out on my porch, and my neighbors porch. We both try our best to feed it whenever we can, and it's extremely friendly, but it's been getting really really skinny. I can't take it in, but I don't want to take it to the vet because I'm scared they'll just euthanize him, and I've never met a cat that was so friendly. I don't know what to do with him, but I want to help him (get him shots, etc.) because I really don't want him to die. Any ideas?

I mean, if you're not a breeder than you have absolutly no good reason for not fixing your pet! there wouldn't be so many unwanted cats/dogs in this country if people just spayed/neutered their animals. people are sooooooo uneducated and ignortant these days about this topic!!! in my own opinion, if you refuse to have your cats/dogs spayed/neutered then you don't deserve to own them!! when I adopted my 5 month old kitten from my SPCA it was soooooooo heartbreaking to see all those cats/kits/pups/dogs living there. people don't realize or care to realize how huge this problem really is. my 2 year old female cat was spayed before her first heat and my 5 month old kitten was neutered before I adopted him. plus, I have a 10 year old beagle who was neutered when he was a puppy. I did my part as a RESPONSIBLE pet owner now others need to do the same if they haven't already!! I know that the overpopulation of us is sky rocketing to, but to me that's a completly different issue.

If one were to throw a cat from the top floor of a high rise block of flats (about 14 floors), would it still land upright with all four paws on the ground?

If one were to use some form of binding material e.g. tape or string around it's four legs together prior to launch, would it still land on it's paws?

If it were blindfolded and bound, would it still land correctly?

They "clean" themselves with their spit and use the same "washcloth" that they've just licked their naughty bits with.

AND they lick their paws, paws that have just been burying poo in their sandbox of pee and poo. How is this being CLEAN?? Spreading poo and pee all over your coat.

How CLEAN can a kitchen counter be when the cat has just been in its sandbox of pee and poo and is now walking all over the counter, spreading hair, bacteria and litter on the counter where you are making a sandwich?

I have a cat who, every day, dips his paws in his water bowl, dirtying it up with litter. Has anybody seen this kind of behavior in a cat before? I would like to stop this, because I know it's not good for them to be drinking that water and I have to change it so often. I can't figure out if he's playing in the water or if he is just obsessed with clean paws!

I will be moving in January from Michigan to California and will be bringing my two cats with me. Does anyone have any good suggestions for the long road trip they have ahead. They have traveled in the car before, but only short trips...

She is 3. We got her from a shelter over a month ago and she drips liquidy little 'clots' of feces all over the house. She seems to use the litter box just fine, and sometimes she farts but this poop thing is unbearable! Neither of our other cats have a problem like this. What can I do and what could be wrong with her?

My kitten is about 9 weeks old. I feed her canned cat food in 5.5 oz cans. It is recommended that cats eat 1 oz/lb of weight and kittens eat 2 oz/lb of weight. I do not have a scale that will weigh her. She can easily eat an entire can in a day and probably more if I gave it to her. What do you recommend?

I have a 17 year-old neutered male cat who is blind - he lost his sight 8 years ago - we don't know why, but the vet says the problem is not his eyes -it must be his brain or nerve pathways.
A couple of years ago he started pacing obsessively in tight circles for maybe 10 minutes at a time. You can stop him if you distract him with attention or food, but once he gets going, just talking to him won't really stop him, and he'll just start right up again.
In other respects, he's a very normal, smart, healthy older cat. Could the pacing be related to the blindness - or could it be a form of senility? Does anyone else have a cat that does this?

I know that it is normal for kittens to run around like crazy to play. My kitten will all of a sudden climb up my pants leg when I am on the computer. I have scratches all over my leg. I have tried grabbing her by the scruff of her neck and putting her down. I have tried squirting her with a water bottle. Nothing works. It is all part of the game. I don't want to lock her out of the room. What can I do?

I know that the dogs have AKC, but is there anything for felines?

I always buy the same brand, Nutro Max cat. And I usually change up the flavor I buy for him because he usually really likes a new flavor. But this time I bought the roasted chicken which is shaped different and hes being a punk about it. I also have a kitten so he tries to eat the kittens food all the time.

He is eating his food, but not as much as hes trying to eat the kittens, so I have to feed the kitten in a different room.

My question is why he could be reacting this way? Could there be something wrong with this food? Hes usually not too picky.
