Cats - October 2006

Sometimes, our male cat bites my hand when I pet him. LOL. He doesn't bite hard enough to break the skin or anything- it seems as if he's just being playful. But what does this mean? He's obviously trying to communicate a message to me. When I asked the cat why he bit me, he just bit me harder and ran out of the room like a bat out of h*ll. Just kidding!

But seriously, does the biting mean that the cat is mad at me? Is he pissed off? Or, is he just being playful? Or, does he not want to be petted when he bites?

only way I can get her to use her litter box is to keep my door closed. Any ideas or reasons why she is doing this?

Just curious how many other cat guardians out there have discovered that cats love to nod off to sleep with classical music in the mackground playing softly? Never fails to lull my two hyper kitties to kitty dreamland.

I have seriously been against gay or even bi-sexual men my whole life. (I'm 35) It has sickened me to even be friends with them. But this one guy at work is sexy as hell and I found out months ago he goes either way. For some reason he really turns me on!!?? Why, I wonder? (By the way, I'm a female.)

we were able to get pregnant and have many, many children like cats can have kittens? Even while a cat is pregnant, if whatever type of cat has sex with it, she will have it's baby too. A cat can deliver many different breeds of kittens at one time! Amazing!

Hi, I have a 9 year old Siamese who has feline hyperthyroidism. He has always been a happy, healthy, active cat, and I just recently found out about the hyperthyroidism since the vet found a heart murmor. Well, I'm tryng to give my cat the medication (Tapazole)by putting it in his mouth and rubbing his throat until he swallows. He ends up foaming at the mouth, clawing me, then spitting it out later. He is a much happier cat when he isn't forced to endure this. Surgery is too expensive and I don't want to put poor Mikie through that stress either. Any suggestions for getting him to take his medications? I've even tried hiding it in his food. He had no symptoms of the hyperthyroid before except for a huge appetite and the heart murmor, so I'm wondering if it is even worth it to put him through all this-maybe I should just let him enjoy his life.

I''ve treated my cat and I really need to treat my house but what's best to use. Do I have to get it from the vets? I'm in the UK so I need stuff I can buy here.

My cat is a year old. She's very curious. Likes to go where I don't want her to. Her favorite thing to do is jump up on my dresser at night and knock things off and then jump on the mirror. I'm afraid she's gonna knock the mirror over and break it, not to mention all my stuff on the dresser. I know she's doing this for attention. She thinks it's a game. As soon as I'm going to bed at night is when she does this. When she jumps up there I yell at her and she just looks at me. I have to actually get out of the bed and get 2 inches away from her before she jumps down and runs. When I get back into bed, she jumps back up there! I've tried spraying her with a squirt bottle, clapping my hands loud to scare her, I've even cleaned the mirror with vinigar because I heard cat's don't like the smell, but nothing works. If I close my door she uses her claws on it and that's not good cuz I live in an apartment. It's keeping me awake at night. What can I do to keep her from jumping up there?

and for months they have been obsessed with it. they paddle on it, purring and staring whimsically into space like they're hypnotised. they paddle on other things but this sheep is clearly something special. Why is this??

A cat has set up home in a bird's nest in Norfolk.
Wendy Hobbs, from Reepham, first spotted the cat up the tree a week ago, reports the Daily Mail.
She was about to phone the fire brigade when she noticed the stray had set up home in the nest.
The cat only leaves the cherry tree to beg for food at her back door then climbs back up the tree.

I used Zodiac Flea & Tick shampoo and just used the Zodiac carpet and upholstery powder and the flea collar label says "do not use this prod simultaneously or within 30 days of treatments/exposure to cholinesterase inhibiting drugs, pesticides.. But that is very indirect and confusing?

Not sure how this happened, but she's having neurological problems and can't move her tail, it just drags on the ground. And she can't move it out of the way when she pees or poops, which is messy with a long haired pet. I've read that the nerves could come back, so I'm wondering if I should give her 6 or 8 weeks before having surgery done.
