My husband and I are in a bit of a moral dillema right now. We adopted our female cat with the impression that she "tolerates" dogs. This is what our local humane society told us. We are planning on getting a dog, but after observing her behavior, it's become obvious to us that she does not tolerate dogs. She attacks without provocation. On the contrary, their mere presence seems to be provocation enough. To top things off, our male (who is normally peaceful, and will hide from anything that comes at him) has become VERY protective of her. The two of them tag-teamed our neighbor's dog last night, scratching her nose up pretty (she's a Burnese Mountain Dog, too....not exactly small). So now we don't know what to do. Should we give her back to the HS even though her chances of being adopted would be slim? (She's 3 years old). Or should we try and find a home for her ourselves? I worry about giving her to someone who would declaw her and such.

I have an indoor cat and just found live small maggot-like worms feeding on a deposit in his litter box and some fungus like spores on other deposits. I have never seen this in 30 years of owning cats. Any clues what this is? Oh yes - I live if far east Asia now.

My husband and I just got a 7 week old kitten last night. Sooo cute, but his claws keeps getting caught on our large weave carpetting. How often should they be clipped? I'm going out today to get some clippers but am scared to do it to him even though I know it is something that needs to be done. Any words of advice for this?

Do you think they are worth the extra cost? Does your cat/cats like it? Are they afraid of the motor? Do you use the regular or the clumping litter withit? Thanks in advance. I have been pondering getting one, but I am afraid my prissy cat will not like it.

Our cat is not friendly toward dogs (nor really any strangers), but she tolerates ones that don't bug her. (We've babysat dogs before) She's quite tempermental when it comes to anything new, including me when I first married my husband a year ago! She pee'd all over our bed a few times, just to let me know who was queen of the household! I put up with it, hoping to win her over. We have since bonded and get along great!
Anyways, we just got a new chocolate lab puppy. He's sweet and doesn't bother the cat much, but I know she's not comfortable with him in our house. It's been a week and for the past day she's confined herself to the upstairs bedroom. Unfortunately, she pee'd all over the rug and hasn't really eaten much for the past couple of days. I'm worried about her well-being...and that she will never like the new puppy! Or, it'll take too long (and too many destroyed things) for her to get there!
Thanks for your help!

So, I was at a friend's house and she picked up her cat and was petting it and loving it and she gave it a kiss on its mouth like three times. Like a peck- but right on the lips. Now, I love cats, and I didn’t think much of it at first, but I started thinking about it when I got home- is that a weird or normal display of affection to a cat?

Thursday night we persuaded a mom cat and her three month old kitten into our garage. We built a suitable cage for them to live in. Mama has been around us since the middle of June, and across the street she had three kittens. Two of them dissappeared after a few weeks of feeding them. Shadow is Mama's only kitten left with her. BAD NEWS- She's about to have more kittens in our garage VERY SOON. We don't know when though. Shadow is way past her weaning stage, but since Mama's been pregnant she's been nursing. I was wondering how long before a cat gives birth does she produece milk? WE CANNOT KEEP ANY OF THE CATS, AND WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM ALL TO THE LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER. Mama's has had her kittens in the wild, so do you think it'll stress her out if we are in the garage helping her? Please help me if you have any information about what she needs for birth and things like that. WE ARE KEEPING MAMA AND SHADOW UNTIL SHE GIVES BIRTH.

the cat's stitches are gone. I called the vet and they rudely told me I'd have to pay for another surgery, well it cost too much the first time. I tried liquid bandaid, it did not work, I tried a regular bandaid and a nylon, that did not work. I want to know what could happen to her and what to do about it.

litter box cleaned, several times a day. We have 2 other cats. They don't do this.
It's not on a regular basis. He uses the cat is in charge mat.
If it's spite, why? Is he being lazy and doesn't want to go downstairs. There are 3 litter boxes.
Anyone else relate to this situation with your pet(s)?.

Thanks again, to all respondents.

Dear People, a young, homeless cat is regularly visitting me, and I think he brought flees into my house. I've treated him with fronline yesterday (but most of it went on his hair instead of on the skin), and I cleaned and sprayed the house. My problem is that I scratch and I have a feeling that some mini insects are in my hair and on my skin -especially neck, legs, arms, genetials, back, I also have red marks. But there are absolutely NO flees to see. But I did find eggs and 'flee-****' on the cat blanket (which i have thrown away). My question is IF IT CAN REALLY BE FLEES OR NOT? It also scratches when I am at work (where it's very clean and there are no animals) but I thought that I would NOT be able to carry the flees or their eggs around with me, on me...PLEASE HELP so that I can do something fast! Thanks.

Do cats smell, if so how can you get rid of the odor they give.

My cat has gone missing, she was last seen Thursday night 28/09

She is white with black fur on her neck
She has one ear missing, no tail - just a small stump - she was involved in a fight with another female cat over a Tom
She only has one eye and her front right leg has been amputated, she was in an accident with a car
She has a twisted rear left leg and walks with a limp
She also has no teeth as we had to get them taken out when she bit into a live wire from a lampost in the street

If you see her please contact us

Oh - by the way
Her name? - Lucky!
