Cats - October 2006

He has feline aids. I cant take it any longer. I think I should have him put to sleep. I feel terribly guilty. He was a stray and I have taken care of him and nurse his wounds from fighting. He is only getting worse. I cannot give him to anyone else. No One else wants him. He cannot get along with other cats He fights with everything. Help pleae.

We presently live in a suburban home, but we may be moving to a 7 acre non working farm. Would it be possible to take our indoor cats and turn them into outdoor cats? They have all of their claws. There are two big barns for them. The house and barns are situated quite far from the road. We would bring them in at night during the colder weather (Upstate NY).

Any experience with or advice on doing this? Also, how would we prevent other animals (squirrels, rats, raccoons) from eating their food if we kept it in the barn?

My kiten is about 7 months old. We recently moved to another state and she is acting sick. Her nose is warm and her eyes watery. She is pooping very little. She is not active, sleeping all the time...she never used to do that.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with her? Will it pass or should I take her to the vet?

I've tried those petmate water filter fountain, but it didn't work. I hate that darn thing. My little gray cat runs into the tub whenever I have to use the toilet. It's really annoying because she just stares at me and meows as if yelling for me to turn on the water. Ugh. Any suggestions? I give her fresh water every day in her bowl.

Here's the scenario: She'll be all relaxed and start purring, so I pet her. She likes it and gets relaxed, but then she suddenly grabs me and bites the heck out of me. Often she will break the skin with her teeth. She's 11 years old and has always been like that since a kitten. I realized yelling at her didn't help, so I just try and take cues when she's ready to do it. It's a huge pain. Why does she do this and what does it mean? Believe it or not, she's a great cat. I love her a lot and wherever I go, she goes. She's also leash trained and is great in a car.

About once a week or every other week, she vomits.

Diet suggestions? Something that might help prevent this?

Thanks!

I understand feeding the poor cats, since they can't find enough food, but feeding possums is ridiculous! I've seen a lot of people on this forum, who say that possums deserve to eat too, and that they should be able to share the food with feral cats. That's absurd! Possums can feed themselves. So why would you allow
an ugly disease ridden creature like that to eat with your outdoor cats? So they can share rabies? Gimme a break!

I believe there are dog foods and snacks that contain this ingredient but why not cat food or snacks?

My cat will come up to me and jumps on my lap and starts to knead my chest or stomach as if she were fluffing a pillow and she starts rubbing her face all over my shirt while she is purring. Why does she do this?

My male 2 year old cat was neutered while a kitten and has recently started showing some odd behaviour. He is showing signs of sexual aggression and arousal ( also have his spayed female sister). This is totally new and I am a bit confused. I thought neutering cancelled this and if not, why now at his age?Any advice?

My cat suddenly started spilling her water out of her bowl. We even have a double feeding dish (one side food, other side water). She still manages to spill it. She only started doing this a few months ago. What can i do to make her stop?

I am going to try to get my kitten in to see the vet tomorrow for loose stools. I got a sample from her tonite. Should I refrigerate the sample. (I know for humans they usually do). Also, there is a little cat litter mixed in with it, will that matter?
