We adopted a new cat about a week ago. He is a seven year old. He has been hiding since we got him, and on the rare occasion I do get to pet him, he purrs and seems to like it. He will not come out, except when we all go to sleep. I would like to show him some affection so that he can see I won't hurt him, but I also don't want to force him out. Any ideas of how I can calm this poor thing down?

Whenever it's alone it goes on tables knocking things down, it jumps on the bed, etc... and then when I come in she jumps back down with an innocent look on her face. Do all cats act this way?

It’s really bad, hair is every were...the bad, the floor, the bath room, my pants, shirts. I’m going crazy. I love my cat to death but I hate his hair with a passion. Please give me some advice on what to do (other then to shave him).

I have a 3 year old spayed, front declawed orange tabby. When I got home from work yesterday she seemed fine. Then we went to bed. I woke up about 4 hours later and found her in the living room with her right front paw 3 times its normal size and she was limping. The kitty E.R. didn't see anything wrong. Her regular vet had me bring her right in and they are going to sedate her and check her out. Her x-ray last night didn't show any fractures, and she did not fall or anything that I know of. Ideas?

For the past few month we have been administering insulin (vetsulin) to our cat. Each time we take him back for a glucose test his blood sugar is higher than before. We have increased the insulin each time. Any suggestions? Should we chalk it up to insulin resistance or should we change insulins? Just wanting to hear other similar experiences.

I have a 4 months old male cat and he has never been very lovey. He always did his own thing. But now all of the sudden he's following me everywhere and he's constantly purring and rubbing his body on my leg or my face and sticks his butt in my face. And he smells very weird. Are those the first signs that he's starting to get "hot"? He's not neutered yet. Our vet said we have time till he's 5 months old.

I've been wondering why he did it ever since we adopted him in mid-November.

Never had it done before, but her breath is quite bad and she was already missing several teeth when I got her.

I have a 5 month old boy kitten and I woke up this morning and there was cat poop that looked like it was being rubbed off of his behind. The trail went into 4 rooms (luckily all hardwood) but it to forever to clean up.
He has never done this before since I've gotten him, but then again we just got him last Sunday. and he has used the litter box a lot until this. Also he is not nutered yet.
Is this a problem I should be worried about or could it be something else, if so what?

mine are strictly indoor cats for numerous reasons. my female is scared to death to go outside, she runs when anybody opens the doors to outside. my male kitten just looks out there when the doors open and then walks away to go take a nap. so my cats are perfectly happy staying indoors and they will remain that way. oh, and cats CAN NOT fend for themselves and they don't need "fresh air" or to "roam". so what are yours? just curious?

She does that w/ pooing, and with peeing she pees on the edge of the box, usually half in the box half on the floor....we got her from a shelter, I know she was taken away from her previous owner because she wasn't being taken care of. Anyone have any suggestions, I've taken her to the vet, the vets response is "thats strange"
