Cats - November 2006

In the last 2 days my cat has started to squat as if she is going to have a wee but only a couple of spots come out and sometimes a little blood. She is using her litter tray to wee in but is squatting loads. Someone my b/f works with says there cat done that and it turned out to be kidney failure. I am taking her to the vets tonight but i am now worried. Do you think it could be just a infection?

I have taken him to the vet and they said it was from the stress of moving. Now that we are settled and he is still doing it the vet said it has just become a habit and wanted him to go on kitty prosaic lol. Does anyone know how to stop a cat overgrooming without medication???? Plz

Okay, we bought the kitten as a companion for our older cat, (older is Male, kitten is Female) and they're both house cats.

Now the trouble is, when we first brought the 8 week back home yesterday, and at first our older cat seemed terrified, but got more used to the kitten over the space of an hour.

Now the trouble is, i think the older cat is getting a little too rough with the kitten, i know it only means well, but its been trying to grab at her back and such as if to mount her = She's only an 8 week old kitten.

I dont know what to do, i mean its quite comical watching them play fighting, but then the older cat gets a little more rough, and i have to stop them, and put them in seperate rooms, becuase the male is obviously huge compared to the kitten.

The male hasn't been neutered - we use him for breeding, and eventually wish to breed the kitten with him when she's old enough, but that wont be for many months.

Should i keep them seperated fully? or will they stop?

He has a brother that is more laid back, and really likes me and is submissive, but then I have @$$hole brother, that is such a biatch to me at times! I've been using a spray bottle of water and spray him, but he just licks it off and runs around like a maniac. Once after I got mad at him for crawling into the blinds, I sternly told him NO, and put him on the bed, 5 minutes later he comes running from the other room and freaking jumps on my back, clawing it and then runs away really fast cause he knew if I caught him....

One of my friends says that mixing a small amount of vinegar and water can prevent misbehaviors? Does anyone else know any other ideas of how I can tame my male kitten?

I have always heard that animals are not suppose to eat chocolate, however I have fed it to my animals in the past (before I found out they weren't suppose to) and nothing happened.

I have a two story house and a basement+attic, not really a huge house but a normal middle class sized home. So how many should I get, and where should I put them? or do I only need one in the middle of the house?
Also, what's the best kind of flea bomb? I want something that is effective but won't break my bank. anyone ever use a flea bomb? what kind did you use and was it effective?
How many times should I treat my home also?

My sweet cat is around 3 yrs old and is a Long Hair Domestic cat. She has enough fur for 3 cats with some left over for her. A few days ago I noticed on her back above her tale her hair has become very thin. This does not seem to be occuring anywhere else on her coat.

She weighs so much I have put her on a diet per her vet's instructions. Before I was allowing her to graze anytime she wanted but when I began to portion her meals she would scarf down everything so fast she would immediatly throw it back up. So now I am feeding her very small portions several times a day. My question is -- could her hair loss be attributed to the stress of a new feeding schedule? She also follows me around meowing and everytime I go into my utility room she runs to her bowl and begs. I love her so much and I hate to see her like this. By the way, I have made an appt. to see her vet, but in the meantime I don't want her to be so stressed. Any SERIOUS answers or suggestions would be a help

We took our kitty to the vet and they did a fecal test on her and it came back saying that she has roundworms. While at the vet they said that her swollen belly could because of worms or that she was pregnant. I think that she may be pregnant because her belly expanded pretty rapidly since we took her in and the doc agreed. The vet wants us to come by and pick up some wormer, but I don't know whether we should worm her or not b/c of the possible pregnancy. I don't know if it would be possible to speak to an actual doctor without making another appt b/c the girl that works behind the counter seems to not care about people's (animal's) problems. It does no good to complain about this girl b/c this is a military vet clinic. What should I do?

My cat, Abby, eats styrofoam in my house. I was wondering if I should worry because it is bad for her. I try to get her away from it now, but I want to know if it is or isn't hurting her.

I love my little girl cat, Ebony, who is just over a year old, so much that sometimes I worry about it! If anything happened to her it would kill me and yet I know that in all likelihood I will outlive her and will therefore have to go through a terrible bereavement one day. Is it normal to be this attached?!

I have 7 cats, male and neutered females living in the house with me. When Im not home, a tomcat keeps coming in, making the place stink. How can I get him to stay out but leave the catflap alone so the other cats can come and go freely?

My kitten has buggers beside it's eye (originally thought it was sleep, but is consistantly coming back). Also there is fluid/liquid below his eye. I think he might have alergies or some kind of eye infection.

What could it be and how can I help my kitten?

Thanks,

Ben
