Cats - August 2006

I was just wondering how the people at the animal shelters put down the animals? Do they feel pain from the process and do you think they know what is happening to them?

We have an automated litter box (Litter Robot, http://litter-robot.com/) that has a front opening. Three of our cats use the box just fine, going in, turning around, and doing their business properly. However, we have a fourth that doesn't turn around, and as a result, pee comes out of the opening and messes up the step to the box, which the other cats are not fond of. We've tried various solutions, but all we could do is contain the damage with paper towels and a second box with a plate with holes over top to catch the pee and let it drip into the litter below. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas that we've not thought of. Thanks in advance.

My friend has a 21 year old cat suffering from numerous ailments including an aggressive mammarian tumor. The cat is so old, her veins are no good for a lethal injection. My friend refuses to have her cat's last moment be the panic of a direct heart injection. Is there something she can get cheaply to either OD the cat at home or knock it out for the last trip to the vet? She has very little money. Web site references are helpful. Thank you.

The cat followed me home and she turned out to be knocked up. I kept her as she went through this ordeal. I purchased a litter box that she used. Now that she has had the kittens she has lost all interest in the darn box and craps on my floor,I send the tramp outside but now I have to worry about fleas. Any cay lovers out there please help or she is on her way out the door.

I have a 6 month old male kitten...I noticed that when he smells my feet that he opens his mouth. He will sometimes lick your toes and feet then open his mouth too...I just adopted another kitten he is about 6 weeks old and he is doing it aswel. At first I thought it was because my feet stunk bad...but they do it when they are clean and right out of the shower...why do they do this? Are they sick?...They also pant sometimes when they play..They are both indoor male cats and don't have there shots yet. Any info would be great...thanks. :)

We were gone for 2 days. We have left like this before and just left plenty of food and water out for our cat. She is less than 1 year old. When we came home, she was laying on the floor and her fur looked like it had something in it (kind of matted). She wouldn't move and we actually thought she was dead. It looked as if she might have thrown up also. We took her to her water dish and got her to drink. She even ate a little but she couldn't use her back legs. Now she is up and walking around but still seems off balance. She is also walking around and meowing some as if she is looking for something. Anyone have any ideas what may have happened to her? We thought she might have taken a drink from the toilet with the freshener in it or something.

I know dogs love to have their stomaches rubbed or scratched. Why not cats? Thank you!

Do they bond with only one person or all in the family?

I have 3 babies who all have their claws. My DH wants to get the newest one declawed because he has ripped parts of the carpet to shreds, and is absolutely a misreable beast when you try to cut his nails.

I am totally against it because I have heard that it it involves more than just taking the claw out, and it can be very painful.

By the way, all my babies are indoor only cats. All adopted from shelters, and the last one was found as a stray who we took in. That's enough though, three's a crowd!!!

My tabby runs around with a little stuffed animal in her mouth, meowing loudly (almost a howl). It's really funny. I'm thinking she thinks she is a killer predator, dragging home her kill?

Does your cat do this?

I use Cat's Pride. It says 99% dust free, but it's very dusty. Thanks for your help!

Do they know whats going on? Like if I take my cat to the vet, the next time will he remember that he's going to the vet?
