Cats - September 2006

Adpoted a kitten from Womens Humane Society a few weeks back. Ive taken her back for her 2nd set of shots 2 wks ago & her 3rd set of shots is next wk. The vet checked a stool sample, he said she didnt have any signs of worms/worm eggs. I notice tho after she uses the litter box there will be one under her tail - small white looks like a grain of rice & moves when I grab it with a tissue. If she takes a cat-nap somewhere, when she gets up there will be something similar in that spot- only it doesnt move & is like an off-white color. I told this to the vet at the clinic but he said she was ok since everything was clean. PS: This isnt all the time either, I'll find about 1 or 2 a day. Her belly is a little round, but shes been like that since we adpoted her.
My main concern is I have a dog too & I don’t want her getting worms from kitten (they sleep together/share water bowls) & she sleeps in our bed. I'm going to ask for her to be de-wormed next week, but until then??

We have a seven-year-old house cat which, up until a year ago, always used the litter box for all deposits without exception. We moved two years ago and about one year ago, he had his first "accident" in the middle of the living room carpet. He has since done this four times, and always in the same place. We clean the area, spray with appropriate animal spray to discourage him and have once rubbed his nose in the poop harshly saying no, no. This has no effect on him. We're waiting for the next event. If he were peeing on the carpet, he'd not get so much patience from us. We want to resolve this so we can all get on with life. Any ideas out there? Thanks

Im pretty sure she may be in labor. Today she was meowing like crazy outside so i let her in and she went straight to my closet, where she had her last litter. I wasent here when she had them the last time, so i dont know what to exspect. No shes laying arround on a blanket i put under my bed for her, (my bed is a loft bed) and shes cleaning herself and seems to not be able to get confortable.

Also what are some good cat names. hers is Casper, and so far i've only got 2 names picked out. Harper and Billy. We really think shes gonna have atleast 4.

any information would be helpful!!!

I just bought a 2.5 month old Siamese kitten a couple days ago who cries whenever I'm out of sight. So I let her sleep with me and I'm wondering if I'm hindering her growing to be a independent cat?

I've always wondered why cats wink at you. Is it a sign of affection? Something else? I notice all cats do it, not just mine.

They do suffer with hairballs, but it doesnt look this this!!!

It looks like shampoo foam or something similar.

Pls. dont just write ask the vet, that isnt answering my question!

Cheers

I have two female cats that I received that are both from the same litter. Their mother was an indoor cat also, from a very clean, household. They both seem to be very healthy. Since they dont go out side and have no chance of coming in contact with anything, do they really need to get any shots or get anything else from a vet?

Hi! I live in a town, in a house with a garden. I have to move to a capital city soon, in a flat. I'm thinking of bringing my 2 month old kitten with me. I'm worried because I'm not sure if she would get used to the new way of life. Here, at home, my cats spend most of their time outside.
I know the basic things about living with a cat in a flat (it rhymes :-)), like sand box and stuff, but could you give me some other advice on what should I pay attention to?
Thanks.

How do I get a 4mo old cat to stop chewing on wires? Mostly small wires like head phones. He has a multitude of toys and teething objects, plus I've tried sprays etc. Will this grow out of him? And how do you scold a cat, yelling and spraying water don't seem to be perminete. Will smacking them help or do they even understand when I'm scolding them?

2 of our cats have gone missing lately. The only one we have left is their son, who seems to want to do nothing but sleep since his dad went missing yesterday. His mother went missing about 2 weeks ago, and he seemed okay, but now he's just depressed. What can I do to comfort him?

One of them did purr about 4 years ago but the other one never has. They are both 5 years old. Sometimes I can detect a slight vibration in the throat but no sound comes out.

The annual cat twirling finals are next month. I was looking for a better tail grip and release method so I can gain at least 20 additional yards to my record of last years event. I am really excited about this years get together, I snuck my neighbors cat into my basement for practice and to try out my new tail gripping glove. That cat sure loves flying through the air, it scream with joy. Hope to see you there!

Our 16 year old cat passed away last week and on the very same day we became aware of six strays living up the road. A lady is feeding them but she wants them gone.

One of them is really pretty. She's less than a year old and we pretty much believe she is pregnant.

I'm arranging for a no kill organisation to come and get them but we are seriously thinking about taking this girl. We can pat her and today I picked her up and she purred in my arms.

When we get her we plan on taking her to the vet and have her checked out and then we'll give her a flea treatment.

How do I go about integrating her into a new house with no other cats and living indoors? We are afraid she will go crazy when we get her inside and will tear up the place wanting to get out.

Does anyone have any suggestions how we go about this?
