Cats - October 2006

I was thinking of a UHaul truck. But where do the cats go? Front (drivers cabin) or back? If in the back - is there some good solution to this, like a temporary cage? I wouldn't want them to be scared or hurt themselves.

Either a commercial preparation, or does anybody have a good recipe?

The wet cat food in pouches -- regardless of brand -- is only partially enjoyed; the 'gravy' eagerly lapped up, but the meat tends to go somewhat ignored. (Not so with more mushy varieties in tins, but we even finick about that sometimes.) So...

Suggestions for a good brand that could be found at pet stores in Canada appreciated. I know I've seen the stuff for dogs, but have yet to find any made for cats. If you have a recipe, please include the source, and your comments on it.

I have a 6 month old male kitten that sucks on a blanket for comfort, and lately he has been rubbing his back legs together when he sucks. I discovered that his little thing is out and squirts when he does that. Is this normal?! ( how can we stop it?)

i have had my cat for 18 months but in the last few days has developed a fear of walking on the carpet. it is not a new carpet and there is no obvious reason for this. if you put him on the carpet he freezes then runs as quick as he can until he is off the carpet.

After trying everything to retrain a cat, and you have to make a decision, do you...
Declaw the cat or take it to a shelter, where it will experience stress, illness, and possible euthanasia?

My puppy didn't seem to want it. And my kitten has food in his bowl so it's not like I don't feed him. He is still eating it lol. Should I stop him? Will he get sick eating wet puppy food? There isn't that much and my puppy didn't seem to want it so she I let him continue. Haha! That kitten is sooo silly! Do your animals do stuff like that?

My cat Babaloo is awsome. She's increadibly loving and sweet, and adores people. She's friendly & outgoing and is full of spirit. Over the last two weeks, she's started screaming. Sometimes, she'll start howling at 5:00 AM, last night, she pretty much screamed the entire night. Even if we shut her out of the bedroom, her howling keeps us up. Feeding her shuts her up for a while, but I don't think it's about food. I'm sleepy & at the end of my rope. What the hell does she want? What can we do to shut her up?

They are very good and well-behaved cats except for one thing, they puncture holes in the blinds when I'm not home! I rent a townhouse, so now I'm going to have to replace all the blinds in the house, and that is A LOT of blinds and is going to be costly. How can I teach my two kitties to stop knawing on them?
I usually keep the blinds up during the day, but when I'm out at night and have the blinds down, that's what they do when they're bored. I thought it was just a phase and maybe were teething but they are now 6 months and still do it. Help?

Hi my cat, age 7, has had this weird bump underneth her chin that comes up out of no where. It's black in color and the size of a small pea and I believe she irritates it, or hits it, then it bleeds. After a few days it will go away. But sure enough, maybe a month later it will return. It has appeared about 6 times so far. Is this something I should be really concerend about, becasue she really doen't like going into the vet. and what is this? thanks M

I bought a kitten about a year ago and this kitten will continue to dig in her litter box for 15-20 minutes after she goes to the bathroom. I have tried changing litter and how much I put in, but nothing works. I have owned 3 cats before and none of them would do this. Her digging is very annoying when I am sleeping.

Who thinks that a secretary that has been working in a vets office for 5 years(a position requiring no veterinary studies), is qualified to be giving medical advice, on complex surgeries such as declawing of cats?
I have even sent her information on the cruelty of this procedure, but she thinks her opinion is more valuable than the information backed up by multiple animal rights groups, Humane societies, and many countries, and places in California who have banned the procedure? She believes its as routine a procedure as a simple neuter or spay?
Please post your opinion on if you think she is qualified? and why or why not?

Ok, I have a cat that drools all over me when I hold and pet her. She's a sweet and affectionate kitty, but it's so gross that I don't want her on me because she gets my clothes all wet and drooly.

I asked the vet and she said some cats do that because they're so happy, but Ive had cats my whole life and NEVER had a drooler before.

So I'm just wondering if this is more common than I thought and if any of you have a cat that drools?

I have two cats. One of them is really good about the litter box, but the other one is very haphazard. She drops her mess on the rim of the box so half goes in and half goes out, or she leaves her mess on the carpet, or she pees on magazines. Sometimes she buries her mess and sometimes she just leaves it lying out. Her box is clean, and we've tried getting two boxes so each cat can have its own territory, but the problem isn't abating. This cat is a feline leukemia carrier, so we can't give her away or send her to a shelter, because she would be put down. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I have had this cat for 3 years. It has always been skittish. Suddenly he has started hissing and spitting at me. He is a big cat and I am actually scared of him now. I feel that he is going to really attack me and hurt me one day soon. What can I do to stop him from acting like this?

My cat's two favourite tricks are sneaking into my bathroom & sitting directly behind me so when I step back I nearly fall over them & going downstairs ahead of me but pausing on random steps so I have to sidestep them at the last minute or grab the bannister to avoid stepping on them, they seem to do this more when I am carrying stuff....

My husband says he has been coaching them (!!!) could this be true, is it only a matter of time before my Omen cats cause me to break my neck ??!!
