I recently found a kitten in my backyard--he appears to have an eye infection, there is pus behind this creepy looking crust over his eyes. Sometimes he pulls it off and he can see for a little bit, but it always comes back.
I just started rubbing his eyes gently with a damp, warm cotton ball. Will this work if I continue?

P.S. I don't need a bunch of "answers" saying "You shouldn't have taken in that kitten!", I need real answers to help this poor kitten.

My boyfriend is an architect and he works at home. When he spreads out his plans (blueprint size) my cat sits on top of them and starts ripping them up with his mouth. I have never had a cat do this before. Its like the old saying for kids " The dog ate my homework". Well, my cat at your architect plans, sorry, I will have them to you soon I promise. I need more time. Does any one else have plan and paper eating cats?

I wonder what they dream about.. Why do they twitch their whiskers, paws and such a lot? It's cute.. But I hope they're not having nightmares.

I moved to Jacksonville, FL in 1986 and that same summer I found a cat. I took her to the vet and he said she was aproximatley 4. One month ago she had to be put to sleep. That made her 24. She was a great cat for all these years. Just wanted to know if anyone one else had a cat this long.

Took her to the vet, they washed her with soap. Nothing. Rubbed her with vegetable oil, butter, even WD40. She's looking a little better now, but the tail is a mess and she feels miserable. I need serious ideas!
By the way, I got rid of all the glue traps except this one I couldn't find, because I felt they were a cruel means of dealing with rats. Never again!

An acquaintance needs to adopt out two family cats. They are older and one has health problems. Another is shy. They are indoor cats, I assume spayed / neutered and up on their vaccinations.

None of her friends can take them. Sadly, if she cannot find a better way she will take them to the shelter, which means they will be put to sleep because they are not in demand for adoption.

There aren't any no-kill shelters available.

Are there any alternatives? Is there any hope of adoption, any place or method that is more likely?

Are there any rescue agencies where she can leave a donation in exchange for caring for them?

I'm fostering a cat for our local rescue society. He was abandoned there without helth information, or age. He's middle age I'd say though. He is seriously overweight, I don't know how many pounds specificly, but he's in a dangerous condition. He's also very depressed seeming. He has no interest in his new surroundings, or me or anything at all. What can I do to get him playing with things, or walking around? HELP!

My always hangs around me, rather than my spouse or kid and sleeps on me (or next to me) at night & even during the day. I say it's because they're too rough w/him. Could it be something else? (Scent?) I've never been a "cat" person and never "sucked-up" to him (he's a 3-y.o., non-neutered male). Maybe it's 'cos I'm usually the one who feeds him? I'm stumped!

I have a kitten that was abandoned in my garage by his mother and he is okay with people but not the greatest. He lets you pick him up and hold him and everything but my dad doesn't want to keep him and my mom wants to keep him untill he older or atleast old enough to leave a home. He's too young to be away from his mother and now doesn't have one. I've had many kittens in the past but never a stray. What do you think I should do with him? Send him to a vet and possibly get out down or keep him from my father and keep him in my room untill he's well enough to be on his own and used to people and live in a home?
