My kitty Sushi is around 2 to 3 months pg and kittens are usually weened after about 6 weeks to 2 months so can I get her fixed right after she's weened them or before? When would it be safe for her?

I am having a problem with stray cats in my side yard. I have a tan bark pathway and they think it is a litter box.

I was thinking of pouring either vinegar or ammonia on the bark. Which one do you think cats hate the most?

I have already tried the sprays you find at the stores to keep them away but it isn't working that is why I thought I'd try doing this. What do you think?

I'm sure my kitty Sushi is pg but I'm wondering if only pg cats have big nipples?

We use to give her people food, but now we have decided against it because it's bad for her, but how do we make her stop asking for some when we're eating?

Amelia, our 14 pound cat, whom we got at the humane society is almost 3 years old. She's a great cat but evern with constant clippings and scrating time, she would get stuck on carpets, bed linen and cat toys. my husband decided to have her declawed tosave our door frames and to helpher from getting hooked up on things. She came home and is very unstable and I think she may have thrown up. She's hiding right now. When she first came home an hour ago she used the litter box and ate a little moist food. She usually only eats dry food and treats but I wanted to give her something special. I guess that was a mistake.
What' done is done, but I sure would like to make Amelia more comfortable if possible. Ideas are welcome.

As a follow-up to my last question; I did buy the Zodiac Spot On, but promptly returned it to the store and asked for Frontline Plus. Thanks to the person who reminded me that they don't keep it with the other supplies....I'd completely forgotten that I used to see it in a case at our old pet store.

The infestation isn't bad enough to warrant bombing my home....we didn't even know she had fleas. The vet couldn't even find any on her, he just knew she had it because of the FAD.

Anyways, I got the Frontline Plus instead of the Advantage because Advantage only kills adult fleas. Now onto my question....

I applied the Frontline Plus to both of my cats. It says to avoid topical application, so I got down to the skin like I was supposed to. However, in mid-application, my male moved, so some of it got on his fur. Now there's a greasy spot there....should I wipe it away with a rag, or not worry about it?

At night my neighbour’s cats fight in our back garden. I think they class it as 'neutral' territory and fight as per nature. The noise they make has woken me up several times now and it's getting to be a bit of a pain in the neck.

Anyone have any 'humane' suggestions as to how to get them to stop please?

Local cats are coming through my garden and are using our garden as not only a toilet but also they are often fighting each other and "singing" during the night. Now some of you out there may find these animals loveable but I however really can not tolerate any more of their late night X-factor style auditions. Please let me know what are the most cost effective way is of removing these foul creatures from my garden, thanks.

They won't stop rough housing. My adult cat meows like a maniac. I know they're playing, but they're knocking stuff over and being crazy! Should I separate them, or is that not worth it?

I moved with my two, two year old cats a few months ago. They seem to have adjusted well but one or both of them are peeing in the same place. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this stop? Getting rid of them is not an option so let me know if you have any other ideas.

OK, I'm going to get both of my cats on Frontline soon, but I have to order it online....and since it will take a week or so to get here, I need to look into something else for right this moment. My female cat is experiencing Flea Allergy Dermatitis, so I need to get the fleas killed now. Is the Zodiac Spot On treatment any good? I've heard to not use Hartz products, but I don't know about the others. I'm planning on heading to the store soon....I just can't stand seeing her in pain.

My boyfriend locked my cat in the closet!! Accidentally. She loves to sneak in open doors and especially the closets where she'll hide behind the sweeper/behind boxes etc. My hubby was getting his jacket out of the closet and in his hurry, didn't notice she had snuck in, so when he shut the door, she got locked in for 4 hrs. I came home from work and couldn't find her, panicked, and then heard her meows from the closet. Poor thing, she couldn't wait to get to the litter box. (thankfully she DID wait;-) Anyway, he felt really bad about it and while she hasn't given it a second thought, I need some really good stories to make him feel better........

Does this happen to anyone else? It is ruining our new sofa, and we keep cleaning it the best we can, but she is destroying it. I tried No-Go, which is sold at the pet store and supposed to keep them from going on stuff. Their litter boxes are always clean. A few years ago, I took my cat to the vet and she told be that my cat is depressed and needs some Prozac, seriously, but how is one supposed to afford/believe that? Any ideas? (BTW, we have 3 cats, and all are fixed except one, and age from 3-8 years old.)

My cat keeps dissapearing for weeks at an end. And as she is at home not more than a few days at a time she is very thin, and always comes home hungry and with her fur all matted up. Other than keeping her shut in, which I don't want, what can I do? I would love to know where she goes.
Thanks.

People keep giving me cats. I can't have them in the house because when they are, I can't breath and my face itches. I know I should have said no and I know I should give them back, but I can't. The animal shelter isn't taking cats because they have too many, and winter is coming. How can I find homes for these cats? I feel like such a horrible person. There are three of them.

How do I get it to hang around the farm instead? I don't really want it back as it kept biting me.

Many times I have seen my kitties dump their food onto the floor, and eat it there with great gusto.

I will come home from work and find more food on the floor than in the cat food bowls:)

Why is this :)

My kittens are about 6 weeks old and have started to mess around the house. My cat doesn't seem to want to train them. What is the best way? Any tips?

My 16 year old cat has had more than her share of UTI infections, she is spayed has been since 6 months old. I would think a cat in her / his lifetime would get only one, if any unirary infections. She has had it 2 or 3 times a year, except for this past year we got lucky but tonight, Whamo!! pools of blood on the floor, frequent trips to the litter box without peeing, depressed in pain and drinking allot of water. I know this has to be asscoiated with something else serious. A kidney stone? Cancer? Bladder ? I will be at the vet's before they open and will ask for some tests to get to the root of this problem and cure her. I pray she can make it till then. She is now resting peacefully probably because she takes phenelbarbitol every 12 hours and that helps. So if you have a cat that had kidney problems or anything simular that can cause these symptoms, please tell me. It is now 3:13 am, USA time and I will be there at 7:45 am Thank you and God Bless you. She eats the best food.
