Cats - September 2006

I've had cats when I was younger and it was a normal relationship. The cat I have now is overly clingey. Sense Im unemployed we spend alot of time together. And I mean clingey. I can't go to the bathroom without her in the room or she goes nuts crying outside. Sense the apartments only 850 SQ Ft... she follows my every move.

I realize it's normal but I think shes too attached. She constantly jumps up on my lap wherever I am and I mean it's too much and she doesn't get the point. So I bought her some new toys and stuff but... she still... its just really annoying.

My bf won't let her lay on him at night. So now she lays on me... I wont let her but she does whatever she can to get on me. She will go through the covers where my feet are, crawl up my body and then repeat once I move her.

If I put her out of the room she meows and plays with the door... once I even had to leave the room and fall asleep w/her on the couch...

WHAT DO I DO SHES DRIVING ME NUTS???

My cat Willow is allowed on the couches but not on the bed. During the night she jumps onto the bed and I shoo her off about ten times. She usually doesn't start until around 3:00 am. As soon as I swat her off, she jumps right back up. I've gone from gently placing her into her own bed to giving her a firm "NO" and little spank. Nothing seems to be working. Please help!

I really think we have too many. I don't want to give numbers.... we have a few that are outside cats and some that just stay in my sister's old bedroom and several that stay in the main part of our house. I just need to know how many is concidered hoarding. I don't want to be breaking any laws, I just wish my parents would see that they are in over their heads...

Perhaps they have a few. I think one of them is " WHEN IN DOUBT, WASH." Take a look at your pet cat and beat mine! I am looking for the best motto a house cat could have!

My cat is acting strange. He is slow and will not play with me or my other kitten. He is eating, drinking, and using his litterbox as normal. He does not have diarhea and is not vomitting. His gums are fine, and his ears feel normal. I am worried about him. I've raised this kitten from when he was two days old, he was abandoned by his mother. He is now 5 months. What could be wrong with him? Note: I do not have enough money to take him to a vet and have all kinds of tests run, not at this stage.

She had her kittens almost 5 weeks ago and moves them around alot. I show her all kinds of affection and feed her everything she wants(she even eats green beans). She is so skinny but eats constantly, and her poop is runny and she is constantly passing gas so bad i have to leave the room. She eats her hard food and sometimes 2 cans of soft food and usually my cocker spaniels food also. Could the dog food be causing her gas? I have also recently found her drinking the water out of the fish bowl no matter where I move it too she gets into it. It is a beta and I use the drops for the water. I was told she would only eat and drink what she needed to provide for her babies but I am concerned for her health. She also moves the babies to where ever my dog is at that doesn't seem normal to me. The dog is sorta scared of the babies she doesn't know what to think of 5 babies climbing on her.

I have recently had to move into my parents house, before my moving transistion to California.
My cats (sisters,5 yrs old) never had dandruff problems until we moved into my parents house. The thing is I have to keep them in the basement b/c my dad is allergic. (but its like a living room down there for them..) I am wondering if the basement is too dry for them, and what I can do to help prevent some of their dandruff? I know all cats have it to some extent, but theirs seems a little extreme. Especially my short haired. (One has long hair and one has short hair) They both allow me to brush them daily and they in fact enjoy it..
Just wondering is anyone has some solutions for me to try and see if its just their new enviornment, before taking them to the vet.

Thanks for all responses.

My cat is 4 months old and is getting fixed in a couple weeks. We recently installed doggie doors (for the doggie) but the cat uses them more than the dog. It leads to a backyard with a tall privacy fence. We originally wanted to keep him as an indoor only cat, and still do, but do you think he will try to wonder off if he finds a way out? Should I keep him from going outside all together?

They're foster cats, so when they're adopted, the new owners may change the names.. but I'll have them for at least about the next 2-3 months, so I wanna name them. And the shelter that I'm fostering through wants me to name them too. Anyway, my point is that if I pick out good enough names, maybe the new owners won't change their names, which would be cool.

He is well fed, a Maine Coon, and around 1 years old. I know I am supposed to praise his "contributions" to the pack. But it is grossing me and freaking my daughter out to see all these gutted and decapitated animals laying around.

The cat is 18 years old and has been neglected as far as love and affection. She is arthritic and sleeps all the time but she does eat, drink and use the litter box. I have devoted a whole bedroom to this cat and give her alot of petting and affection every time I go into that room which she really likes. She won't go any farther than just outside the bedroom and into the hallway a little bit. I have taken her to the vet for a check up and shots, etc. The vet says she is just an "old gramma kitty" but in relatively good health for her age.

My question is - how long do cats generally live? She is already 18 for pete sake. When does there come a time that you put a cat down?
