Cats - November 2006

My kitty doesn't scratch me. Unless sometimes when he's playing with us by accident.
But does your kitty scratch you.

My cat has these odd lumps. It first started as one hugh lump at the base of his tail. It doesn't hurt him. Later he got one on his tail and just recently I found one behind his ear. When I took him to the vet they told me that it was nothing. I found that very odd that he suddenly has lump and its nothing. LOL i paid 700 bucks for a diagnosis like that!

When I adopted him, he was never treated with any type of flea protection. His foster owner said she fed him Iams original and sent some home with me. I live with my boyfriend who already had a cat that was fed Purina One dry food. I mixed the Iams with the Purina food until he was eventually just on Purina because that's what we were used to feeding my boyfriends cat. I think he was eating Purina and staying indoors for about 5 months without any problems then he got out a few times and got fleas. That's when the scratching started. I treated the fleas with a flea shampoo but eventually had to take him to the vet because the scratching/biting was getting worse and he developed sores, poor guy was miserable. The vet didn't find any fleas or mites on him and diagnosed him with a food allergy but cannot pinpoint the problem. He administered a steroid shot, which works wonders but last only about 8 wks. I can't continue the shots for long as it can be damaging to my cats health. Help us!

My cat has been mad at me for over a week now. He used to cuddle with me and slept with me and for some reason, he won't come near me now. I don't know what I did but it must have been bad. He growled at me when I put him in bed with me and just sits either giving me mean looks or with his back to me. I tried bribing him ith treats but after he ate them, he went back to ignoring me. How do I make up with him?

i'm just wondering if anyone else has an obese cat. mine gained all off the weight within a few months of rescuing him as about a one year old cat. i believe his peak was 25 or 27 pounds. somewhere around there.

i was just wondering, what are you doing to help it lose weight?
i had my cat on insulin, but the vet says he doesn't need it anymore, so he's just on diabetic cat food now. strange thing is, he isn't even diabetic!

i also want to know if you or anyone else teases the cat for being fat.
my boyfriend and i call it the dog, because it's just so huge, and when it's next to my other cats, he really looks as huge as a dog! lol.

anything else you have to say about this topic is cool. i just want to hear from other people who are in this situation.

She has drastically lost weight. She pees in unknown places other than her litter box. She recently has a limb and moves from the one spot she has been in for the past 3 days maybe once a day to drink a little water and maybe eat something but it's not much. Is this old age or could there be something very wrong?

my cat has half a tail. Not sure why, but she does, lol. She's always bumping into things and she's not graceful at ALL. I mean, she walks like some kind of cat-robot, lol. She has all of her whiskers and she isn't blind. She also does not have any sort of inner ear problem, the vet has confirmed this. Does her half-tail make her like this?

Is it okay to give my cat baby food? I've heard of it before. She has cancer, and I'm trying to keep her comfortable-hard for her to eat some of the soft cat food.

I have loved you, as you have me for so many years. Now I have to make the decision to let you go and chase rainbows. My heart is broken and I keep hearing you patter across the floor, but you are not here. You are hooked up on support at the Vets after renal failure. I have to go back in an hour and tell them I cant let you go on suffereing, if you are. I have just given you "permission" to go if you must and held you and kissed your gorgeous black face. What am I going to do without your love my Baggy? You are all I have. xxxx

I read a list of safe and toxic plants for cats. They say that hanging african violets and regualr ones are safe and that spider plants are safe so then would be it safe to say that the spider african plant is safe for my kitty? also is their any kind of plant that can kill a cat?I'd make sure I didn't have that kind. would it kill my cat fast?:-(would I know if he was sick from a plant?

I just moved a week ago and I left my cat home alone for the first time to go to work, so I guess he was scared or angry and he pee'd on my bed! I sprayed it with a bathroom cleaner but it still smells. Is there anything that gets rid of the smell? I would hate to have to throw out my bed, I just got it last year and I paid a lot for it! I left to work today and made sure the bedroom door was closed!

I have a male tabby cat about a 1 1/2 years old, and suddenly he started growling when we went near his food. We've been trying to figure out why, since we have never taken food away from him. He also now doesnt like to be touched when he's eating, where as before he didnt care. The rest of the time he acts normal as before. Any ideas?

My 5 year old cat loves to eat my hair. I pick her up and she starts chewing on my hair. She's not the first cat to do this either. My first cat, Sugar did the same thing? Anyone know why?
