Cats - November 2006

Eight years ago i lost my best and only friend, Katy. She was the greatest cat i could ever have hoped to have. She asked me for so little, and the one thing she asked me was to be with me when she died, but i couldn't even do that for her. She got stuck somewhere and a week later she stumbled home. We took her to the vet and they said she would be fine. The night we were supposed to take her home the vet asked us to let Katy spend one more night so they could run more tests, my parents agreed. I had been holding Katy and when i went to put her in the cage she tried her best to hold on to me, and she had always been just fine in cages before, call it silly, my imagination, or whatever, but i know she wanted to come home with me. The next morning we got a phone call telling us that Katy had died. She gave me so much over those years, love, understanding, forgiveness, kindness, everything i didn't get from those at school When i see how much my bird hates me it makes me miss her more why

I have a beautiful navy comforter that my cats love to sleep on all day. Is there a way to prevent all their hair from sticking to it?

My cat (1.5 yr old female) was sick last week (throwing up, would not eat) but seems a bit better now (is eating normally, drinking and using litter box) but is still sleeping alot and won't play with the other cats (2) in the house anymore. They used to play together alot and she didn't sleep nearly as much as them. She used to love sitting on the windowsill and looking out and now all she does is sleep. She has also stopped sleeping on my bed at night and will only sleep on top of a bag on the floor. Do you think this is just cause she's getting older or that she is still sick with something? Anyone experienced anything like this before? I miss my cute, friendly kitty :(

I've recently set up a website aimed at getting some kitties that live on the street near my place into homes. It has live streaming video of the kitties needing homes at night, and my kitties in the day. For awhile I was getting a good response, but now it's quietened down, and I need to figure out how to get it happening again! Ideas?? It's for a good cause...I"m paying for the desexing, vaccinations, aids & FelV testing etc.... the site is http://www.kittiesinthehood.com
I have already adopted 8 myself, and really need help with the other 12!

My cat is eight years old and often when I pick him up under his arms he gets upset. Ypu know how a cat gets cranky from you teasing it and, he is like that when I pick him up.Also he is never jumping up on my bed to sleep at the foot of my bed.
Does he have arthritis ?????

I last asked a question about how to treat my kitty's ears for ear mite. (read my last question if you would like to get more information) Well I treated them like people had suggested, and now on one of his ears, at the tips, it lookes irritated and sore. What should I do about that. The package says to use for 7 to 10 days. Should I continue the treatment? Did I do it wrong. Thanks for any information.

Isn't it wonderful to be a cat owner. If we lose one we seem to get another and another to love.

My sister's cat just had kittens and my partner and I will be adopting one. My sister's partner said on the phone he couldn't tell the difference between boys and girls. Wouldn't it be much like a dog? Having either a penis or a 'vulva'?
We want a boy so what should we look for?

my boyfriends cat has just turned 21 (4th nov) and doesnt have ne signs of old age. she been de-wormed and de-flea... she hasnt had injections for a while.. she doesnt go outside and hasnt done for past 4/5 years. she looks like a little kitten.. she is the size of a 14mth old cat. the questions are what the signs of old age? is 21 old for a cat?

NB* she hasnt had injections because boyfriend feels that the shock of injection would kill her.. she has all the medication she needs via drops. so before you ask she is getting all the right stuff, the vet told me injections are mainly for older cats.

My family just recently adopted a rather fluffy cat.
He was found wandering the streets when the adoption center found him.
I'm just really curious as to what breed he is...not that I care at all, I'm just curious.

Things about him you notice right away:
His pink nose
His VERY fluffy satiny fur that is like heaven to pet
he changes between moods quite often,
he can be super affectionate and lovey for a second,
and the next second he is like RAWR i'm going to eat you!!
and he darts around alot like he's being chased.
he is lazy sometimes and looks out the window alot.

here's two pictures of him:

My 4 year old black and white cat Tom, knocks over any cup, glass, or drinking vessel with water in it and spills it!

He refuses to drink water from his bowl. So anytime I go to the bathroom, he runs after me and jumps in the tub and meows for me to turn on the fawcet for him so he can have fresh water.

Why won't he just drink water out of a bowl like normal cats?
