Cats - September 2006

He eats it whenever he can find it, but of course always throws it up. I know this is bad for my cat but it's hard to keep him out of it. He will actually open up cubbards to eat the plastic off a pack of toilet paper. He prefers colored plastic to clear or white especially blue. Anyone know how to deal with this problem?

We have recently moved to a new area and my cat is happily getting used to his new garden, but we have one problem. When he is outside he is nice and happy unless I try and go up to him. If i do this he freaks out, hisses at me and trys to run away. Once I have finally persuaded him to come indoors, he goes back to normal, and will happily come up to me and have a fuss.

He wasnt like this at our other house and my other cat is also fine.
Any ideas? At the moment I am trying to tempt him to come to me with tid bits of food but even these dont seem to work. Its as if he doesnt associate me as being me when we are outside. Very strange!

When we bought him the breeder had struggled to get him weaned away from his mother. The only thing he would eat was freshly cooked chicken. Now he won't eat anything else! He does drink cat milk, so is getting calcium, but his diet (apart from being expensive) is not good for him long-term. Obviously, starving him is out of the question because cats will starve themselves to death. Any suggestions?

I have 2 kittens who are brothers, I have had them since they were 1 week old (sometime in may). They both use the litter box, however one of them wants to pee in the dogs food bowl. I dont understand why, or know what to do about it. He only does this when the bowl is empty, has never done it while food id in the bowl, so when its empty I put it up. Then one day last week i came home from work int he morning and there was a plastic grocery bag in the kitchen floor the cats had been playing with the night before and while putting my things down the cat came and peed on this bag right in front of me. No clue why! I clean the litter box everyday and they both use it no question. Any ideas of why or what to do?

She squats next to the box and does her business. I have tried changing the ground around the box, changing the litter, cleaning the boxes with soap, scooping the litter three times a day (it used to be once every 1-2 days), aversion therapy (tossing a can of coins if I caught her in the act), basically everything that any website reccomended. I also clean up her messes with Natures Miracle and she has been to the vet who ran a whole bunch of tests and there is nothing wrong with her. She is 10 years old, siamese/tabby mix. I have several other cats too but my house is big and there is no fighting over food or territory usually so... I dont know what to do... Please no suggestions to get rd of her or "smart" azz comments about hating cats/killing cats/etc.

She does not do this all the time she uses the box, just about 65% of the time. She doesnt have any accidents with her bowel movements, just urination. The box is not covered, too small, too few, or crowded.

I just noticed my female cat throwing up. When I went to clean it up, I noticed a pinkish-red tinge to what otherwise seemed to be saliva. I recently began noticing blood in the litter box as well, on top of the stool, but I let it go because I wasn't sure which of my cats was doing it, and I didn't think it was occuring often enough or in great enough amounts to cause concern, especially considering how low I am on funds.

Please don't just tell me to "go to the vet." I know that. I'm not a moron. I'm taking her as soon as I can tomorrow morning, as there are no emergency vet clinics in my area. I am simply asking to see if there's anything I can do until then to alleviate any pain she might be having.

One of our cats has worms, and we can't figure out which one, but all of our cats are indoor-only, and have been indoor-only for over a year, and just recently aquired worms. The cats all chase down flies and catch them and eat them, but if this causes worms, then why is it only one of our cats has worms? All of our cats do that!

No, I don't plan on starving them, I have some kittens and I am wondering if they stayed that long without it.

The mommas milk is almost dry but there is some left, although the kittens are not getting to eat. I went to the store and bought kitten bottles and kitten formula but they are not eating it either. they seem strong for kittens that are 8 days old so I really don't know how long they went without food, but they were locked up in a room alone and the momma could not get to them for possibly 4 days while I was at a funeral out of town. Don't know how the kittens got in the room they were in and I don't know how long the door was shut for. Can kittens survive for 4 days without food? What should I do?

My kitty, Punkin' Head has some very strange habits since she was born.. they seemed to calm down , but now that my boyfriend is away for a long period of time, she is acting out again!
First, She is obsessive about knocking things off tables or or shelves.... if I am sleeping and she wants me awake she will keep pushing things onto the floor until I get up! Also she has never Meow'd.. her mouth opens but nothing but a raspy dry little sound comes out. ... the most challenging behavior she has had since My boyfriend left is she acts as if she is punishing me when I get home from work.. she stalks me but wont let me touch her, she bites me even sometimes... which she never did before. She follows me everywhere and if I dont let her in the bathroom with me she pounds on the door! she insists that I watch her when she eats.. and watches to make sure I watch... I love her very much I have had her since I got divorced four years ago but I need to know what can make her normal

Ok My mother rescued this 6 wk kitten that was going to be left in a parking lot(in 100 degree weather in Lousiannia no less) , the problem is we have 2 dogs (age 5 and 10 )and a 18 year old simease cat that we already have in the house. I want to keep the kitten so does my mother, my dad is undesided he says the cat needs to leave but he is bonding with it too. the question is how do I get the other animals to bond with it? Should we even try if we are not sure she is going to stay, we are sorta trying to find her a good home where she can be a housecat, she likes to cuddle, she really is a sweet kitten, but she is afraid of our animals, she keeps hissing.

Female cat was spayed at about 2 months old. Not too long after I began to find poop in various places around the house besides the litter box. I've never heard or seen this before.

Everytime I eat bananas, my cat practically molests me. I finally gave her a tiny bit of one awhile ago, and now she comes running if I eat a banana. Every once in a great while I'll let her have a tiny bit. Is that really bad for kitties?

I have a 7, almost 8 year old male cat. He's a tabby. he seems a little down in the dumps the past few days..I'm just worried that he's sick. He's eating, keeping it down, and when I tempt him enough he will play with his toys. He just seems...sad. I don't know whats wrong. What I'm worried about is he contracted something from these damn roaches that have been in our piece of crap apartment for the past 9 months. We are working on moving out soon as possible but our lease is up in January. We've tried exterminating and everything, and can't tent because its a 12 unit apartment building and not everyone has a problem. But anyway, is there something I should be worried about?
