Cats - September 2006

The bathroom is right inside the entryway, so that's not a good place for it, and the kitchen, bedroom and living room don't seem appropriate.

I have two cats, and for quite awhile I was using Arm and Hammer, but I think that they have changed their formula. It does not keep the odor away....although, I do scoop, every day. Thank-you!!

He threw up like 10 times today and he also has a diarrhea. He would not eat or dring anything today. He is also an indoor cat. What do you think it is and should I take him to the vet?

I got him a bed with a pouch of catnip in it. He flipped it over so he was on his back and dug his claws and teeth into it and rolled over and over. He was practically trying to tear the thing open. Then suddenly he totally loses interest in it and lays down on my chair. I want him to use the bed ...

My kitten has one toy that he plays with regularly, and he is not interested in all of the others that we have bought for him. Does anyone have any toy suggestions for a finicky kitten?

What is normal as far as cats playing together goes? I have 2 cats and they run around tackling one another all day. One will then usually get upset, hiss/meow then run away. They get along very well other than this, but I was just wondering if this is normal/healthy?

I have a brother and sister, and have been unable to get one of them fixed as yet. They are 7 months old. I grew up on a ranch, having tons of cats, but it was never an issue (being on a ranch) of having to get them fixed. We don't want to end up with kittens, but I had thought that cats matured or went into heat at 6 months old. Female has shown no sign, but male has definatly matured. So now I need to find out exact facts here as to when cats actually do hit their 'mature' stage, and will they actually attempt to mate with eachother.

He not only does this when he urinates but also when he sprays as well. What is his most likely diagnosis and will this cost me a lot of money? I'm afraid that if it is too expensive, I won't be able to afford it and might have to have him put down if it is that serious.

i took my cat casey to the vet, she is female and 8 yrs old. they did bloodwork on her and i will know the results tomorrow. I took her in as over the last month, she got real skinny where you can now say she is empaciated. she use to throw up a lot, over the last month she stopped. she eats a little here and there, she meowns for her food which the vet says is a good sign. she is deyhdrated so they put fluids in her...they felt a mass under her belly(that i am worried about) but they do not know if it is cancer without xrays. the vet visit already cost me 160. 00 so i would rather wait to see what the bloodwork says tomorrow before i go ahead with xrays. When i told my sister what happened, she said don't get x-rays, her lab simba has a bunch of masses all over. my kitty is home with me now. This kitty used to be my mother's cat and my mom died suddenly at 64 in jan so i would be distraught, me and my 8 yr old daughter if i lost the cat2. what would u do?

We have a male cat (neutered) just over a year old. He has been with us since he was 10 wks old and has always been very easy going - playful but never attacked anyone. About 2 weeks ago all of a sudden he started having these 'spells' when he runs through the house like crazy and started jumping at & scratching & biting the kids. At first I thought that maybe they provoked him but after watching them for a while I know that is not the case - they don't treat him any different than they used to.
He is an indoor cat, has his claws - I would never have those removed but I don't like him scratching the kids (even my husband, but never me) - just this morning he jumped on my 3yr old's back while she was just standing in the kitchen...
Why would a cat start behaving like this? We don't hurt him - so it's not in defense. Should we maybe let him out of the house (not very safe in the neighborhood though) to get whatever it is out of his system? What can we do with him?

I am at a loss at to what to give my cats to drink. I have tried coffee, tequila, koolaid, orange juice, tea, iced tea, beer. They just turn their noses up and walk away. In fact, Emerald took a whiz right in front of me to display his derision. Any advice?

My baby girl just got a kitten from our neighbors. The kitten is very gentle but it runs from the baby a lot when she gets on it's nerves. I never had a cat growing up only dogs I am just wondering are cats good pets for a baby. I let her have it because of how much she enjoys the cats at the neighbors and likes to touch them. I hope I have not made a big mistake

I DON'T THINK HE RAN AWAY. HE WAS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD AND ALWAYS STAYED IN THE YARD. I THINK MY FAMILY IS NOT TELLING ME THE TRUTH. THEY KEEP SAYING HE RAN AWAY OR THAT SOMEONE TOOK HIM, BUT HE'S SO FAST NO ONE COULD CATCH HIM (EVEN ME) AND HE HID SO WELL THAT I COULD NEVER FIND HIM. BUT HE ALWAYS WOULD SHOW UP WHEN HE HEARD THE CAT FOOD OPENING. I THINK SOMEONE KILLED HIM AND THEY'RE NOT TELLING ME.

HELP!

I dropped my 14 week old Ragdoll kitten off this morning for his declaw and neuter surgery and the vet said I needed to use a non-clay litter from 7-10 days while his paws healed. Does anyone have any recommendations as to what has worked best for them? Thanks!

My female kitty will be a year old in November. She has been spayed, and also has a habit of peeing on anything fabric. In the past two weeks, she has started to do her poops in the the bath, right at the plughole! Her litter tray is changed and cleaned regularly and I have not bought a differerent brand of litter for ages. When she was younger and peeing on fabrics I tried different types of litter, but now Ive just gone back to Catsan!

My kitten is so wierd. First off, he likes to play with water. He actually even jumped in the toilet bowl last week, nasty. And he was just sitting there like it was a jacuzzi.

He can unlock and almost open doors. No word of a lie. We had to move some furniture that was near doors because he would use one paw to jiggle the knob and the other for the lock. When we eat dinner we put him in one room and shut the door. All dinner long the door knob is turning, enough for it to "open" but he wasn't able to pull the door open.

Friday night, I was leaving for a wedding. And shut off our kitchen light (wall switch)....2 seconds later it was back on. So my kitten and I played "keep the light off for about 10 minutes". My husband didn't believe me so I demonstarted when I got home.

He is also very vocal. When I come home from work I say hello to him through the window...and ask him questions, Not really expecting a response but he meows, after each questions.

He also sucks our ears.

He loves to pee on the doormat, in the laundry basket and on any clothes left on the floor. We washed the mat and sprayed 'Cat-a-Pult' on it, but it didn't work, this is the real problem as obviously we can put the other stuff out of reach for him! He does also use his litter tray, which we do change regularly and remove any excess mess as it happens virtually, he just seems to enjoy peeing on fabric!

my psycho kitten gets in my plants (and everything else). i don't want to use mothballs (poisonous) or buy a spray (expensive and may not work). i've read that cats don't like tea leaves and tried that but my cat actually ate them. i'm at wits end with her. any other suggestions I could try (other than killing the cat)?
