Cats - October 2006

Then he eats the vomit but doesnt throw that up! Sometimes there is fur in it, and other times its just food. I have tried putting him on harball food and meds but he still does it. Any ideas?

I just noticed it a month or two ago. It's a small bump about the size of a pea. It's in his fur/on the skin, near his front leg. It may be getting larger, I'm not certain. Is this something to be concerned about, or is this common with cats? This is my first cat, so I have no experience.

I have a 1 and a half year old Golden Retriever, and i want to get a kitten soooo bad (i love cats). I know the dog will be fine with the cat, but will the cat be ok with the dog? I want them to be able to play together and not have the cat just hiss and hide. If i get a really little kitten, i was thinking it would get used to it young and be ok. Does anyone out there have a cat and dog that cuddle and play like in the cute hallmark cards? :) Tell me how you made it work!

i brought my cat to the vet last week because she wasn't eatting or drinking, the vet kept her overnight and said that her blood tests were normal but she is just dehydrated, i've finally gotten my cat to eat a little without becoming sick, but have begun to notice that her back legs aren't very co-ordinated. What is going on?

I'm not a "cat person" by any means, so forgive me if this is a stupid question!

I've got two cats (Brother and sister) who are generally quite good pals. But today, they've started attacking each other. Like, full on catwars. They circle around each other and pounce and stratch and all sorts of rather scary stuff. I know that cats sometimes play rough, but it doesn't look like playing to me. They're really going at it.

So, is this just a fluke thing that they'll get over or are they trying to mate, or what?

My husband and I recently adopted a new kitten from a rescue group in our area. He was actually born in his foster home but he is having some major separation anxiety issues. I'm not sure if he was separated from his mother too early or what. Anyway,he follows us all over the house and cries when he can't see one of us. When we go to leave he cries for at least 30 minutes and I'm sure it's stressful for him. This morning he sat outside my shower and cried because although he could see me, he couldn't get to me. I've tried putting him down in his bed with one of my sweatshirts, waiting until he falls asleep and keeping him in the same room as our pet rabbit. But nothing seems to make him feel any better except when we come back in and let him out and then it's all purrs. I'm really starting to get concerned about the little guy. Does anyone have any other ideas how I can make him feel more secure?

I have one of those water bowls that holds a large amount of water and dispenses it as the cat drinks. You know, you fill the big resevoir, then turn it over on the base and it always keeps their water full? Well she plays with it!! she thinks it's so fun that she can turn it and make the water spill everywhere. I have squirted her with water when she starts to play with it, I'm swatted her REPEATEDLY when she plays with it, I've rubbed her nose in the water and spanked her...nothing is working. She is making a mess and I'm afriad my carpet is going to mildew from being wet so much and I'm sick of always cleaning it up. HELP!!

Our cat, Baxter, had kittens in May. We gave 3 of them away and kept one of the girls, Bella, because Baxter loved playing with her. We loved watching them play around – they seemed to have SOOOO much fun! Baxter was spayed about a month ago. The first 1-2 weeks after her surgery, she was still fine and was playing around with Bella. The past 2 weeks she has been downright mean to the kitten. Anytime Bella even goes near her, she starts snarling at her and/or charges her and bites at her neck. It is definitely not playful activity. Is she just tired of being a mom? Is the kitten too rough? What can we do to make her nicer? I look at her and give her a firm NO and she is definitely watchful of me with her behavior. Or should I just let them have it out? I hate to see her being so mean to her kitten when they used to have so much fun together. And I definitely feel bad for the kitten. Will it get any better? Please help!

I posted a message last month to ask for any advice on finding my missing pedigree cat. To my delight she was handed into the local vets exactly a month to the day she went missing. I was so glad to be reunited with her and would like to thank those who were kind enough to post helpful advice. The man who found her for me had a reward from my insurance company for £250. There are some decent people out there after all. Thank you x

Our 6 month old kitten has had a recurrent problem with pooping on our dining room carpet. He started out using the litter box but then began to use the plants, then the dining room floor. I have researched, talked to vets, etc etc and don't know what to do. We did finally put newspapers down with red pepper on them and that stopped him until I picked them up after a couple of months. Now he is doing it again. I don't think he's doing this to be mean. He just seems to like this area and of course now it is marked by that scent. I can't replace my carpets and I don't want to give him away but I have to stop this. Any ideas?

I have a new cat (he's between 1-2 years old) and he has a curly tail. I've never seen a cat with a curly tail before. The vet told me it could be a birth defect or maybe the tail got broken and this is the way it healed. Has anyone every heard of a breed of cats that have curly tails?

I have one of those deep rock style things for my cat to drink out of...However, she much prefers to drink out of glasses of water that I leave around the house! She also will try to MOVE her water dish or tip it over...why does she do this? I keep it clean and refill with fresh water often....

First, I should stress that I am 100% committed to solving this problem, and that I'm a responsible pet owner and so on. But my cat is suffering from the most horrendously foul smelling poop you can possibly imagine. What's more, he has recently started defecating outside of his litter box on the bathroom floor, several times a day! At first I thought it was an accident "positioning" his body correctly in the litter box, but yeserday I came home to find that he'd gone in the bathtub, which is just grotesque. (He's a big boy, around 20 pds, so these aren't exactly rabbit pellets we're talking about.) His litter box is always clean, with fresh litter, and I've tried several different brands and types. He eats like a pig, but his stool is always soft, never firm. I've tried several different hard foods. At the moment he's on Science Diet Sensitive Stomach formula. The good news is that he hasn't had any accidents outside the bathroom. Help?

When we pet him in a certian part on his back, near his tail, he turns his head from side to side and sticks his tounge out. It is the funnies thing I've ever seen in my life. But why does he do it??
