When we first got him we tried bathing him 2 times but both of the experiences were frightful. (Lets just say there was blood.) We have had him for 2 years now and we haven't tried bathing him since because we're scared to. Is this ok?

My cat is eating like crazy and not gaining any weight...... I'm just guessing it could be tape worms

She is upset and I wanted a poem to put in a card to cheer her up. Preferably rhyming. Nothing too depressing though please! Thanks in advance

Is there something you can do or buy that makes things easier on a person that's allergic to cats when they come to your house? Other than getting rid of the cat.

Okay, I know basically what to do here. I took in a kitten for about 4 months and I guess she had a mild infestation because last night I noticed brownish fleas jumping on me and biting me. I gave away the kitten a couple weeks ago.. as far as getting rid of the fleas goes am I wrong in assuming that since I got rid of the kitten extermination will be easier? Do they need the cat in order to live? Should I still "bomb" the house with pestiside stuff? I was planning on just getting a new vaccum today and maybe some carpet powder... So basically Im saying whats the fastest way to get rid of these.... suckers. and will i still have a problem if I do bomb and vaccum..since I no longer have a cat? (or a dog..) IF I bomb am I going to have to wash everything afterwards? :( thanks.

She bites and literally starts to pull at her skin in addition to licking herself .This started when I had to brush her hair every day to keep knots from forming in her thick hair. We also have aded a new male kitten (she's F-8yrs old) who is more playfull than she wants.

I've just got a 15 month old female cat, and a week later i got a 2 month old kitten. The cat left her litter of kittens 4 weeks ago, and this kitten isn't hers. I had her spayed last week. The two of them are always play fighting, and she's always cleaning him. last night, she was cleaning him, and he started licking her tummy. when i looked, he was feeding from her nipples (two of them had come right out!). i thought she would have dried up by now. I'm worried that this may confuse millies body, as she's had the op, but is continuing to produce milk. should i allow them to do this or is it not safe?

Kittens were adopted off the street. Have had daily ear cleanings by the vet for over 6 weeks. A pungent odor is coming from their ears. The vet wants to give up - I don't!

We recently got a kitten as company for our older kitty (as my husband and I work nights) I know it usually takes awhile for new cats to warm up to each other but, my older cat seems very agressive always hissing,batting and growling at the kitten no matter if she's sleeping or off doing her own thing. I'm just wondering what is normal..how long will my older cat be doing this for and what can I do if this behaviour doesn't digress.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I have 2 cats, and recently one of them has stopped cleaning himself properly after using the tray. First I noticed he kept having a dirty bum, so I had to clean it for him. Then I also noticed a strong odour of urine. I decided to try using baby wipes to help, but I read that they shouldn't be used because the cat will lick off the chemicals from them. Should I stop using them? If so, can anyone recommend anything else that's more pet-friendly?

My cat is slightly overweight and I've been told this may be why it's hard for him to clean himself. However, he is 5 yrs. old and has been overweight for a while and this only began recently. I'm worried that he may have some sort of infection. What are some other signs that I should look for that may indicate this? I'll probably go to the vet if this continues, but I just thought I'd ask for some advice from others who may have been in a similar situation. Thanks in advance for any help!

My 6 month old kitten, Missy, has a hard bump on her nose. All the fur on her nose is hard and there is a bump the size of a 5c coin on top of it. I was going to take her to the vet to see what it was but thought that it was nothing.
She is ginger coloured but the bump on her nose is going a light orange/pale cream colour.

She doesn't like me touching it or touching anywhere around her nose... any suggestions on what this could be and how I can treat it...?
