Before anyone asks why I'm not taking her to the vet- we have no money- we're struggling to put food on the table since my husband lost his job!
Its breaking my heart to see her sick. She has diarrhea and is losing weight fast. She has always been thin so there's not much to lose. I noticed a couple of weeks ago, her tummy was bloated but its gone down. I treated her at home for ringworm but she just vomited. I saw no evidence of worms in her vomit or feces.
Anyone out there a vet or vet assistant with some good advice?
Would any vet college's have free clinics here in Ontario?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Saw a documentary where Chinese were eating cat. Thoughts?
Is this the new "other white meat?" Would it be considered wrong to export animals from the SPCA as a food source especially since we have an overabundance of unwanted pets, especially large dogs? Might this help our trade deficit with China/Asia?

Thinking about my cat who died last week, I remember not long after I got him he came home smelling of fox poo! So I just popped him in the bath and proceeded to give him a shower..couldnt understand why he was howling and growling and not at all happy...he usually loved a shower....OOOPPPPSSS!!! It was Meow my last cat who loved the shower!! Wrong cat! In all fairness, he never minded them, either after that!
Now before I get reported I will make this a question...does your cat like a bath/shower?

I have a male and a female (I had the male about a month before I adopted the female). I've noticed that every time I pour them a fresh bowl of food, the male chows down while the female sits idly by and waits for him to finish before taking her share. I feel like giving her an ERA speech, but I think it's useless. Anyone else have similar stories about kitty dominance?

Any help with my over protectiveness for my kitty will help - especially personal experience. Found out my cat is pregnant about 2wks ago - currently she is probably about 7wks pregnant.
(Dont know for sure nor can the vet tell me)
At what point can I feel the kittens move in her belly??
Where can I place my hands to feel?? I have tried but don't feel any movement nor little bodies - HELP!

I have 3 cats that are all vaccinated and the cat doesn't seem to bother them too much. It has been hanging around for a year now and I leave food out for him but he won't come within 50 feet of me! I'm just concerned 'cause they're predicting horrible snowstorms and hoping he'll make it another winter. I don't want to call animal control 'cause I know he'll never be adopted out 'cause he is so wild and will be put down. And since our cats are vaccinated and de-wormed, I don't see the problem with him hanging out. I think other neighbors leave food out, too.

I find the history of the domestication of pets fascinating. I'm very interested to find myself part of it.

We have a sweet pair of opposite-sex cats. They're both extremely nice to look at*, have good personalities, etc. They eat only the best cat foods and treats we can find, see the vet regularly, live indoors but get exercised and played with; they have a great life for a pair of house cats.

The female was spayed recently, and the guy goes in to get his "niblets" (vet's term) off in a week.

Which makes me think about how many sick, ill-treated, un-socialised cats are out there reproducing, and how much of the cat population comes from a bad home, or no home.

Yes, breeders, etc etc, but: those are all purebreds, and there're a number who're worried about appearance over health and personality.

No wonder, I thought, that cats revert to being feral so easily. All the best cats are 'fixed'!

It makes for an odd thing in the history of domesticating them.

Thoughts?

I've had my cat for about a year and a half now. I am a member of the shelter where I adopted here, yet they haven't sent me anything about my cat needing shots. Anyway, is it recommended, or required, that I take my cat to see a vet every year for a shot?


By the way ...She's an indoor cat, and never exposed to other cats.

I have a 9 year old male cat. He is not nice most of the time, not a lap cat and likes to be by himself alot. He only wants you to pet him when he comes to you and only for a short time. He was not always like this, but when I got him back from the vet from being fixed and declawed...(which I will never do to another cat)...he was a nightmare! Any reasons why he came back to me like that and is getting another kitty out of the question...if not would male or female be better?

My kitty, Oatmeal is a 1 year old kitty and has a big piece of skin missing on her belly. She is spayed, but it's not the scar. She is also pooping diarrhea, at least that's what I think it is, help!
