We 2 cats in our apartment. one 9 year old female and a 3 month old (NOT FIXED) male. the litter box is kept in the bathroom (smells terrible) but the entire apartment smells like the litter box. we have hardwood floors entirely, so i dont think any of the cats peed anywhere. the smell is disgusting and embarrassing, how do i get rid of it? (i wish i could just tell my roommate i dont want cats in there, but its too late now lol). we cant keep the bathroom door closed cuz obviously thats where their litter box is and im always spraying the place with that febreeze odor neutralizer stuff but it dont work.

My cat(Princess) had 5 kittens 4 weeks ago.Everything has gone perfect so far and up until a few days ago the kittens were thriving and healthy.
Princess then developed mastitis and can no longer nurse the kittys...I purchased a tin of lactol and kitten bottles but the kittens simply refuse to feed.I have tried everything i can think of...i've tried weaning them onto kitty food(complete kitten food moistened with warm water-refused! moistened with lactol-refused! jellied kitten food-refused!).
The kittens were starting to explore their surroundings and were becoming mischievous up until Princess stopped nursing...now they generally sleep most of the day.
I am really desperate and worried that the kittens may die unless they start eating or drinking.Does anyone have any suggestions??

This is a new habit for one of them We scoop the poop several times a day. What does this mean?. They're all about 1and a half years old. If I find out which one is the nasty pooper should I take him or her to the vet?

The doc said her stitches would dissolve, but I can see some in a little hole in her belly. Will they eventually dissolve, or should I take her back to the vet and rip him a new one?

We keep our apartment spotless...but our neighbors are freakin' slobs! And the ants come through the walls to our place. I'm sick of killing them...day after day. They get into everything: the sink, the trash, the cats' food! We have two cats and so obviously we can't be spraying Black Flag or some other highly toxic substance around everywhere (Cat walks through poison, cat then licks paws, cat gets sick, etc...you see the dilema). Besides, those pesticides smell like crap and stink up the whole place.
So does anyone know any pet-safe ant poisons?

We just got our cat 2 weeks ago, and we're going out of town. I'd only planned on being gone for a week and a half, but I decided to extend my trip.

I'm not sure what to do with our cat though. I could either 1- leave her here and pay a reliable teenager to check in on her and play with her, or 2- I could board her at the Feline BnB that I got her from, or 3- I could take her with me. I'm really not sure what the best option is.

She's a very social kitty, so I can't leave her alone for too long, but I'm not sure if she's ok with flying... I know she isn't a really big fan of the crate. She doesn't throw a fit in the car, but I'm afraid traveling cross country in a plane may be a bit much. The only reason I'd consider taking her with me is because we aren't going to be doing a whole lot of moving around. We'll only be in 3 different places during the time we're gone.

The other thing that worries me is that boarding her for that long won't be cheap, and may confuse her.

I was here before, asking why there are bald spots on my cats legs. And someone said it might of been allergies to fleas/ticks? Well i believe it's true now, after my cat slept on the couch, i found eggs. First i might of thought it was just dead skin/ dandruff, but they were round so i decided to check it out by poping them together with my nails and yup they snaped alright, flea eggs. What should i do now? I think this might explain everything wrong with my cat, violent tail chasing and growling, and the bald area on the hind legs. Maybe even epilispy? The first time i check out with the doctor about my cats siezures, i think he mentioned something about flea reactions? Someone please fill me in more? I really hate going back to the vet becasue it's not cheap for a visit.

My cat is an indoor cat but we live with two dogs who became infested with fleas, my roomate goes to the same vet and the vet knew that my cat lived with the dogs so he gave advantage to my roommate to apply to my cat. So my roomate applied the advantage to the back of my cats neck with out telling me, and I was concerned that it wasnt in the right spot because i think my cat is licking the medication... is my cat going to be ok if he is licking the advantage?

I had a male cat and adopted younger female cat this past spring. After an initial adjustment, they were getting along fine. They weren't great friends, but they weren't fighting either. Now inexplicably, the older male cat has been frequently hissing at the younger female cat for no apparent reason. He was on the losing end of a fight a week or two ago, but the female cat wasn't involved. How can I get him to revert to his old friendly self and hopefully make the two of them friends?

I am a newlywed and my husband said that my cat has to go if he keeps pooping in the bathtub. My cat is a little over a year old. We have another cat and a dog that my cat wasn't around before but he was around other animals before I was married and lived with my husband. My cat is a flame point male neutered declawed siamese and he is my "baby". I don't want to find him a new home. His box is changed regularly and I have tried different litters, two boxes, taking the lid off, etc. When he is shut out of the bathroom, he goes right outside his box on the floor but he pees in the box always. HELP!!!!!!

When I first brought them home they were good. They slept when i slept and played during the day, then all of a sudden their scheduals became reversed causing me to lose a lot of sleep. I need to figure something out becuase I'm feeling like I should get rid of one of the cats. Ive never had a problem like thi before and I would hate to get rid of one leaving the other alone, but they are really stressing me out. On top oflosing sleep I am constantly saying "no!" "dont do that" "get down" all day, one can run out of patience quickly whn there is a lack of sleep involved. PLEASE HELP.

My 2 1/2 year old female cat does not like other animals. She acts antagonistic towards my mom's cat, hissing and growling, but never attacking. She has attacked my mom's (much larger, "agressive breed") dog, but he probably got in her face and egged her on--no one was around to see it. (My cat won, though!)

I am not home as often as I would like, and I want to get her a playmate. She has been acting sad and bored lately, and I think it is in part due to my absence. She is very affectionate and loving towards me, and I think she misses me when I'm gone. I was thinking about getting a young (8-12 weeks) kitten for us, as I have heard that they can cause just about any female cat's maternal instincts to kick in and lower or eliminate their aggression.

Has anyone ever tried to socialize a kitten with an anti-social cat? How has it worked? Any tips?

Thanks!
