My cat will bit us at night when we are sleeping and sometime he will just jump at us in the day and bit. He is fixed and declawed but he still wants to go outside. He also will not eat his hard food anymore it has to be soft. Can someone please help me?

my cat bites a lot... but i think it's just because he's always in a playful mood. he's still very young but i dont really consider him a kitten anymore. i just wanted to know why he bites a lot and if there are any games i could play with him to make him stop biting and scratching all the time.

Hi I wrote once before reguarding my 7 year old cat having a strange black pea size hard black bump underneth her chin, it comes and then goes away. People suggested it might be cat acne and to switch her dishes and only use stainless steel. I've done this and wheater it has a connection or not, it is again clearing up. BUT NOW I'VE NOTICED SOMETHING NEW NOW. Today I happened to look at her back front paw from behind (if this was a person it would be around the back foot above the heel part) and noticed a little smaller then a dime size black hard bump protrouding out, almost like the same thing as the chin thing on her front back arm part. It's not the part she walks on and it doesn't seem to be bothing her, but then I noticed another one of the same thing on the other front back paw? It almost resembles the black pad on a cats paw, but it just developed in this location. Has anybody ever heard of something like this? What is it? I will take her to the vet, but what is this?

I just adopted a four-year old siamese mix female, fixed cat. I know that siamese cats are known to be talkers, but this is getting ridiculous. She meows insistently all night long. Last night I only got about 3 hours sleep because of it. She has food, water, toys, a clean litter box and a comfy place to sleep. I took her to the vet to make sure it wasn't medical, and she has a clean bill of health. I've tried locking her in the bathroom (with everything I just talked about), but she meows so loud, my neighbors above me complain. I know it isn't that she wants to be with me, because I will bring her up on the bed and she'll jump down and instantly start meowing again. I don't know what she wants or how to teach her not to meow all night. I love her to death but I can't deal with this!!! Help!

She's not clawing at me when I do it, but she's not exactly enjoying -- she keeps moving forward; getting it done quickly and thoroughly isn't easy.

I think, too, we'Ve figured out that we get cat treats just for being cute, so that's not as much of an incentive as it could be.

Any tips?

I haven't had a kitten in awhile so I don't remember. He poops several times a day even though I feed him Science Diet. Everytime I clean the box he goes AGAIN!! When will he stop? (We've been to the vet and everything is fine. I feed him the amount recommended on the bag)

I am a stay at home mom with a 17 m/o daughter. I am thinking of adopting a cat from our local animal shelter. It would not be a kitten it would be at least a year or two years of age. I will be going back to work soon, but when not at work our family are home bodies. The cat would get plenty of attention during the evening and whenever we are home. The cat is NOT a pet for my daughter it is for me she will know to respect the cat and treat him/her gently. I do not expect my daughter to help me take care of the cat or anything. I had cats growing up, but they were indooor/outdoor cats and came and went as they pleased. Our cat would be indoors only. Does anyone have experience with cats and toddlers, or adopting from a shelter? Our shelter has the pets wormed, defleaed, has rabies shots, spayed/neutered, microchipped and has other shots if old enough. It would only need a yearly vet visit then rt? Thanks to everyone.

How do I keep my neighbors cat off of my vehicle? He sleeps on it at night, and he also gets into a crack we leave open for our cat to come in and out of our garage and he eats our cats food. How do we keep it away?

my cat does this when i am lying on the sofa on my back. she jumps on and massages my stomach for a few min before she curls up on me. she purrs so i know she's happy, but i didn't know it it means something specific.

P.s she's declawed (she came ffrom the shelter that way) if that makes a difference.

My cat has my furniture frayed in spots. Soft Paws fell off repeatedly and declawing isn't an option. Any success stories on spays to deter her would be appreciated.

Recently, my cat has started tearing up magazines. He bites at and tears the pages with his claws, but seems to be content. He has never done this before; is this normal behavior for a cat? Does your cat do anything similar to this?

We all know that when you drop toast it always lands buttered side down, also when you drop a cat it always lands on it's feet. Hence the quandry!

Is it normal for a cat to look you in the eyes? I heard somewhere that animals don't. My cat always does! Is this what all cats do, is is my cat strange?

How do I keep my cat's littler from smelling up the house?
Long story short,
Cat cannot (of course) be sold because the family loves her, and I'm out all day so I can't clean the litter everytime she goes. How do I keep it from smelling up the house? A friend suggested mixing baking soda in with it before I left for work each day, but dosn't that sound like it will harm her? Any suggestions?

Help, I really want to eliminate the aroma of cat urine from the house. I've done some research on-line which seems to suggest that apart from removing the carpets & eliminating the cats (neither of which I can or will do) that there is not a lot I can do about the smell.

However, I've heard of Urine-Off - a product that contains an enzyme that helps to 'eat the smell' (or something like that) ... can anyone recommend something similar that is readily available in the UK?

Thanks
