Cats - November 2006

does your cat cover up his poop or does he just leave it there in the litter box uncovered?


yes, there is a reason behind the question...
i have a cat who just leaves his poop uncovered & i find that odd because all the other cats i have owned always covered up their poop.

It's only a kitten (maybe 3 months) and I find it inside of the litter bag just chowin' down. Is it just f***in' stupid or is kitty litter some kinda mystery delicacy that I have never heard of?

And, if so, do they still require spaying?

Over the past few days I've noticed that my cat gets into her litter box, starts to dig around, then notices her tail and jumps at it. Then she spends half a minute chasing her tail - while still in the litter box - and then its like she suddenly remembers why she was there. So she'll start digging again, then maybe notice the litter flying in the air when she digs and she'll launch into the air and pounce at the bits of litter. After a while, she gets back to digging and will eventually does her business. Yesterday she did this about five times in a row. And then she jumped out of the box and ran off. She eventually came back again to actually use the litter.

I find it very strange. She doesn't actually play with her feces or anything, just chases her tail or the litter granules. I really want to try to get her to stop because I think its a bit gross having her play in the litter box and roll around, and then go climb on the couch or into someones lap! How do I get her to stop this?

So on Friday, November 24th we got our kitten neutered. Everything was fine, the surgery went fine but when we brought him home, he started making this weird coughing sound. It is very similar to when they have a hairball and want to cough it out. The thing that puzzled me is the next day, when we took him to the vet..the sound was gone and he wasn't making the sound. Right now, he's sleeping soundly but the sound comes about after we give him the medication. He puked today and yesterday and I figure its a reaction to the medicine so we stopped.

I just want to know why he would make such a sound after surgery because none of our other cats ever made a sound. The vet said he was fine but he still coughs every now and then. Please help, any advice will be helpful :)

Got this new 3 month old kitten from a friend. I love her because she seems to be curious, observant, sweet, thoughtful, and she loves to travel. She loves to go out, ride the bus with me, and see other people and the world. She is very well behaved when she's in her carrier and we're out. But, when we're home and she's not in her carrier, she's very rambunctious, doesn't listen when I call her name, and she pounces on, and paws at my older cat (who has been the queen of the roost for 13 years). My older cat has no problem with the new kitten, except for the pouncing and pawing. She hisses and growls at the new kitten every time she does these things. What can I do to stop the new kitten from pouncing and pawing? And what can I do to get the new kitten to listen when I call her name? Thanks in advance for the help! :)

My bf and I have two cats (one is not quite an adult). We're both full time college students and have lots of other activities going on so we're not home much. I buy my cats tons of toys but a lot of them they won't or can't play with unless I am manipulating them. Aside from that toy where the ball rolls around in a circle (I have that), what are some toys the cats could play with and not need humans to help with? I try to play with them as much as I can, but a lot of times I just cuddle and pet them rather than play.

She is 6 years old and slightly overweight. She will even urinate while I am sitting right there. She isn't bleeding alot but she is always dirty on her back side and leaves stains everywhere she sits. I have to constantly clean her back there. The vet doesn't know why she is bleeding and assumes it is coming from her vagina. I don't know what to do. We have been keeping her in the bathroom so that she doesn't urinate or bleed anywhere but I can't keep her that way forever. I don't want to get rid of her but don't know what to do!!!!????

I have a male kitty that needs to be fixed but I haven't done it yet. He's really playful and actually too much so. He bites and terrorizes my other cat. I'm wondering what the chances are that he will stop this bad behavior after he gets neutered.

I used to live on a farm and we had several outdoor cats. There was one large tomcat who would regularly mount and hump other boy cats. Can't cats smell the difference between boys and girls? The boy cats often didn't fight back and just laid there. What's the deal with that?

These cats and kittens are living under a retirement home that will soon be bulldozed down in Port Richey, Florida. There are about a dozen cats and kittens all together. I have notified many shelters in the area and they all tell me they don't have room for that many cats. Besides, none of them will guarantee me that the cats will be kept alive. There must be somebody in Pasco County, Florida who truly rescues cats. I just can't find them! If any of the readers of this plea is from the west Pasco County area, please come and rescue these adorable cats. I will help!

Well, a while back I posted about my cats urinary problem (he wasn't peeing in his box) everyone suggested taking him to the vet, well I did and they said to isolate him and basically retrain him, and they gave him a cortizone shot (he was itching himself raw in spots) and he was fine a few days after, now he won't move, he hasn't eaten in three days, he hasn't pooped (obviously), and his breathing is really fast, he used to run to the door when i came home, now he just lays in the corner and sleeps...so basically does anyone know if a cortizone shot (or Frontline flea medicine, 'cause i put that on the back of his neck too) can have an adverse affect?? Help!!

My cousin has a cat and he said that if the cat stays in all the time, never gets out (they have a baby gate and everything to prevent him from getting out) and there are no other cats, the cat won't spray to mark his territory, because there are no other cats. But I say that the cat will, because it is just there nature. Who is right?

Two questions:
Does anyone know any cool cat tricks and how to teach them to your cat?
When I put a leash and harness on my cat, he won't walk and therefor I assume he doesn't like it. Can you teach your cat to get used to it, or will he never want to be on a leash?

Do mother cats really bite the napes of their kittens? Or is it just with their gums? LOL ^_^ Why don't they get injured?

He is all white except a yellow tail and yellow spot on his hip and yellow hears and top of his head. I had just lost my two cats of 14yrs this summer.So I was heartbroken ,and one evening a mom cat brought three kittens on my porch two went home and this one stayed. He moved right in the house and used the litter box I never had to teach him. He is very healthy and very active, I bought him some toys and he brings me his favorite one when he wants to play. I have felt He was sent to me. Would you help me find a name for him. Thanks!

I've tried the ear flick with no success (was told this is how mother cats discipline their young) I've tried a squirt gun and 5 minutes later he's back gnawing on the branches. I've had cats my entire life and have never had this problem before. I already wire the darn tree to the wall so they can't knock it down and I only decorate the top half-it looks stupid but it's better than stepping on broken glass from them playing with the bulbs. I thought about spraying the entire tree with pepper spray but I don't want to make him sick (not that eating fake tree needles is healthy) Can anyone help me with this please????
