Cats - October 2006

Ok I have 2 cats. My moms cat Zoe little miss thing. No matter what I am doing if she can get to my hair she attacks it. If i'm asleep she attacks. She has those little balls with the bells in it, the little catnip mice, and I have one of those fun wands that I play with her all the time. But she just cant leave my hair alone. And its not like its long, its only sholder lenght.

I've checked to see if her hair attacking has something to do with them being out of food and water. Nope they have plenty of water. Or even if the little box needs cleaned.
Oh ya and shes roughly 5 months old. She was a rescue from our local humane society. Any ideas?

My beautiful 4 yo cat has this problem, hes not blocked the vet said to give him soft food only (for more moisture) to encourage water, and gave him a pill to take. Has anyone ever had the same experience? does this treatment work? Also how do you get a cat to eat soft food after eating hard food for 4 years? He turns his nose up at it. ANY suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

About a week ago my cat Alden went missing in our yard. Our house is about 30 acres but other houses from our front door about 1/2-1 acre away. We often would see him at the beginning of the driveway or across the street. I don't think he has a good grasp of the area...he is one year old and was a house cat for the first half of his life and has been wandering outdoors for 3-5 months. He is a domestic short hair. His sister is a lynx point syamese (exuse my spelling please) who is very social. She has been crying ever since he hasn't returned home. We are doubtful that he ever will. We live in Massachusettes and cyotes have been known to be in our area. Today we were on the cat adoption site and saw two beautiful siames kittens (one male and one female). Would our present cat be open to these new cats? Would she accept them or only be confused more? Would it help her move on? Please give me your input...thanks.

My little calico kitty just killed a frog, brought it up to the porch, and ate half its body!
Now she is rubbing against me and being very affectionate. She made another cat friend in the neighborhood Monday. He is shy, do u think my kitty and him are trying to hunt for each other?
What should I do?

I had a cat before, he died back in February of cancer just 3 months short of turning 12. I found a kitten in my garage last week, same color as my cat who died. I told myself no more cats, but this one is so cute and so sweet that he kinda grew on me. I am temporarily living with my parents who I have told of this kitten. They have seen it and agree that he is a cute one but they don't want him in the house. My mother agreed the cat can spend the day in the house but supervised and he has to go back out tonight. It's going to be 20 degrees tonight, I can't let him freeze, how can I get him into a shelter where they won't kill him? I've realized that I can't keep him but I love him already and don't want to him to be harmed or killed at the pound.

What do I do?

I have a three year old male maine coon. For a little while I was having troubles feeding him and he wasn't eating but that was because he was new and I think scared, well he's loosened up since and he eats his food, but he likes to take my clothes and cover his food bowl and his litter box with them. It's not that he doesn't like the food, he eats it all and his litter is clean. Is he playing or trying to tell me something??

Thanks for the responses in advance :o)

One of our cats, a 4 year old, female keeps going in mine and my parents tubs and sinks. These bathrooms are upstairs, and the litter box and another bathroom are downstairs. She doesn't go in the downstairs bathroom though. We also have 2 other cats, another 4 year old female, her sister, and a 2 year old male, who likes to chase her. We also have 2 dogs, a standard poodle and a basset hound who both are very nice to the cats and mainly just sleep or eat. All of our animals have been either spayed or neutered. We don't want to have to move the litter box upstairs or get another one for this cat only. (We also clean our litter box everyday.) My mom says that this is her last chance to straighten out or we will have to give her to the pound. Please Help!!! She's a really sweet cat and I wouldn't want to lose her.
please no cursing or major vulgarity on here

I have talked to different people and pets stores and when I tell them I give my kittens milk they say not to. However no one has given me a reason why you shouldn't. Does it hurt them? Please let me know I just want to know what is best for them.

Well we noticed on Saturday that my kitten looks like hes had his whiskers cut with scissors. It's also really bristly like human stubble.
Is there any sort of whisker deformity that this is due to?

Thanks in advance - I'm so fed up of being blamed for cutting his whiskers.

Yesterday Mr. Cat (1-1/2 years old, neutered, short-haired male) saw the vet for his shots and check up. Today, there are huge clumps of his hair EVERYWHERE! Could this be from the stress of the vet, or the shots? He had distemper and rabies.

I'd try searching on the internet, but I have to vacuum - all this cat fur!!!!!!!!!!
