Cats - October 2006

Jeffy my black male cat, 12 years old. He has a terrible dry skin problem. I have to bathe him weekly and gently scrape off the old skin. It makes him miserable and looks horrible. What can I do to help my boy?

I live in a failrly small apartment, so there's no real good place for the litter box. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I got really sick of the smell and threw the litter box out onto the patio and every few hours I'll let my cat our there to use it. Is there anyway that I can train my cat to go to the patio door whenever he needs to use the litter box (I know how to train a dog to do this... but motivating the cat is a little trickier). I know this sounds like a weird question... but if people can train cats to use the toilet, then why not train him to go to the door? Any suggestions? :)

Why does my cat poop in the littler box and then take the poop out of the litter and place it on the carpet infront of the box? I know she takes it out, and doesn't just poop on the floor, because their is litter on the poop. I empty the box once every few days... there doesn't seem to be blood or anything out of the ordinary in her stool. She is only a year and a half old and has been doing this for about 8 months... I love my cat alot, but this is a very frustraiting problem for me. Why does she do it, and how can i make her stop?

My ragdoll kitten is about 5 months old. Each day I have to clean out the corner of his eyes. He gets this build up that looks like a scab kinda in the inner corners of his eyes. We have put him on eye drops but it still forms. I was just wondering if any other ragdoll/cat owners have any advice on this of if their cats experience the same problems. Thanks so much!

she runs and hides. If she cant hide under a bed she just backs herself into a corner and hisses at him. When I lived with my dad, the cat would sometimes sleep with my dad when I was at work. Only since he attempted suicide has she acted like this towards him. And it is only him, she is a very affectionate cat. Any thoughts?

I took my cat (a russian blue) to the vet about 3 weeks ago...paid $300 for the visit. She told me he may be dehydrated and had a blatter infection. They infused him with liquids...and put him on meds. We just finished his meds...he seemed to be more comfortable (not cured) when on them...but now that they are gone he is back to squatting in the litterbox for long periods of time (with no results) and then we walks off whining. Anyone know anything? Can I fix this on my own...or is a follow-up visit to the vet necessary?

My cat is 13 years old and he has started doing some things he normally does not do. One is he will go pee in the bathtub at times and then he will sometimes poop on the carpet. Other times he will go in his box. Could this be because of his age or is he just being ornry or is there another reason. He has always been good about going in his box.

Recently it has been made public in the news that Humane Societies are limiting the times of the year as to when black cats and white bunnies can be adopted, especially during the Halloween season, in large part to fear of pranks and satantic rituals performed on these animals. A study came out stating that because of these fears and superstitions, black cats aren't adopted as often as cats of other colors are. Do you have a fear of black cats? Would you rather adobt a black cat?
Personally, I find black cats beautiful and graceful and prefer them over most breeds. They are mysterious and lovely. Thanks for your answers.

My cat is a very loveable cat. When I am sitting on my recliner, he would jump up on it, and lay on my chest, and rub his face against my face, and he will eventually start to purr, and he will stay laying on my chest till I get up. He also does the same thing when I get into bed for the night, he would jump up on the waterbed, and do the same thing on the waterbed, and at times he would lay on my head, or by my head, and start to purr. He feels awfully heavy when he lays on my head, and chest, but I don't really mind. But does he love me THAT much? I love my cat, too.

It was like he was possessed. We have had him since he was a kitten. He is three now. He has been so lovable. I did not see my daughter even touch him, and he jumped up and grabbed her arm. He was hissing like crazy. She got him off her, then he ran a few feet away and went back to attack her again. Even after I got him off her, he did not want to stop. Now I don't know what to do. Should I get him declawed. I do not want to get rid of him or have him put to sleep. Has anyone had something like this happen? My daughter teases him on occasion, but not this time.

long haired black cat with white (mostly black) she is an outside cat and every morning she greets us at the porch, meowing. This is day number 2 and no Marlo. It isn't like her to be gone like this, is it possible someone has picked her up it being Halloween? I just read something how they aren't letting people adopt black cats right now b/c of Halloween. I thought we lived in a good neighborhood. This is terrible

My Mum keeps her goldfish in a typical fishbowl on the windowsill. Tinker, her cat sits there watching the fish go round and suddenly will stick his paw in and flick the fish out of the bowl, then miaow. He doesn't try to eat the thing, he just flicks it out and attracts our attention so we can put it back again! He only seems to do it when we are there in the house and it doesn't seem to bother Mum. I've started putting a hairnet on the bowl but he claws it off! Any suggestions?

I have a male cat that allowe kittens (brothers) to nurse on him, after the death of their mom.

and he nurtured them like his own, even though of course he could not produce milk.

Is that normal !!!!
