My kitty Fudge is approximately 1.5 years old and yesterday i noticed a red string near his back end and i thought it was stuck to his tail so when i went to pull it off i noticed it wasn't exactly on his tail so i stopped pulling. After laughing my a** off for a few minutes i got worried, I gave him some crisco oil to try to make him potty and he did, this morning i found the string in his feces. Should i take him to the vet to get xrays to make sure its all out or should i leave it alone. He's acting normal he's eating and playing and going potty just fine.

My uncle is surprising my auntie with a kitten, because it is a "breed" it is 16wks old before being homed, they have been calling the kitten Garfield, any ideas for a name that is similar (so as not to confuse the cat) but is different incase she wants to change it. Thanks

If they made cat jerkey (like beef jerkey) would you eat it? Of course we'd get all the usual flavors...terriyaki, peppered, ol' hickery ect.

I have two cats, Squire(Full name is Squire Gingivere. Cute, huh?) And Patches. While Squire is an affectionate cat, and the elder one, Patches tends to like to be affectionate when she wants to. Not that that's a bad thing.

But I'll go to bed and she'll jump up and walk around for a moment, and curl up. In the morning, I'll start to wake up, and she'll walk over and start trying to scratch my face.

And I'll admit, it's funny sometimes because she'll stop for a moment then try to do it sneakily. But she won't take the hint that I don't like it. I had a scratch across my eye for a few days and it hurt like mad.

Is she trying to play with me or what? Is there any way to make her stop or at least not do it so often?

Thanks!

WHEN I GO WORK I FEEL REALLY GUILTY ABOUT LEAVING HER ALONE IN CASE SHES BORED OR IS LONELY

I came back to my parents' for the holidays & my mom has been keeping my cat in the basement from like 10 PM until noon... and any time that she has to do paperwork or bills. We don't have any other cats and (1) I think he gets lonely. (2) He pounds on the door to get out in the morning... and (3) it's colder and damp down there. However, she claims that he "likes it" and "cats are independent" and "the basement is enormous" (it is 1000+ square feet and finished) so that's her reasoning. His litter box is also down there. She also can't get any paper work done with him because he actually does plop down on top of whatever you are doing and if you take him off, he just goes back (he did this for years). She treats him like a 2nd child otherwise and he literally sits on her lap for 4 hours every night.... so I don't know what to think.

Rather than just jumping on the "that's horrible" bandwagon (i know) i am curious if there could be ANY thing that is ok about doing this.

My cat showed up on my doorstep 2 years ago and was very sick. I took him in and to the vet, where the vet said he had an upper respiratory infection. He got well but ever since he gets sick all the time...sneezing mostly. He is an indoor cat and is never outside, so I don't understand why he keeps getting sick. Every time I take him back to the vet, he just sends me home with an antibiotic that only sometimes works. Is it possible that he has allergies or something? I am spending so much money and he just keeps getting sick again...

Our 12 week old [female] kitten recently started peeing on the beds. We have two other kittens [8 weeks & 8 months] who haven't done this before. We have two litter trays that are always clean [we clean them every 2-3 days] and they both know where the trays are [we haven't moved them].
Not sure how to correct this behaviour. Any ideas?

We wash our blankets [and sheets as it always soaks through] and we spray the room with air freshner to get the smell out but she still does it. I don't know how she can still smell the pee?

I've tried shutting the door to my room but as the other [1] bedroom doesn't have a door, she does it in that bed [if my door is shut].

Does anyone have any ideas on how to stop this? I don't want the other cats doing it!
Hurting/getting rid of her is not an option.

Thanks =)

She wasn't acting like herself all day, but we had company all afternoon so I thought that maybe she was just scared around all the people, but then I was holding her and I noticed this lump right above her shoulder blade! It is under the skin but doesn't feel like it is attached to anything underneath the skin because I can pull up on it. I don't think it hurts her at all because if I pinch it she doens't even notice. I thought it might be a tick but she doesn't go outside and there isn't really any noticeable spot where a tick would have burried in her skin. Should I take her to the vet tomorrow? Should I be really worried?

The mother stopped nursing them when they were 9 weeks, but after two of the kittens got given away, she started nursing the other two kittens. They are too old to still be nursing. I just wanted to know now I can make her stop nursing the kittens. She doen't seem to want to stop having them nurse. She doesn't mind them, but one of the kittens isn't growing, because the only thing she will eat is her mothers milk. I am worried about her, she is so tiny, and is still the same size as when she was 4 weeks old. Please help me save my baby kitten. Thank you.

His butt smells, I know this because he likes to put it in my face while I'm watching tv or when I'm in bed. It always smells, is this because he isn't cleaning it? or does he just like to come say hi to me after using the litter box?

He is 8lbs, 8months old, very friendly, and he and his brother wash eachother a lot. He is not fixed yet. They are both indoor cats too.

much of cancer in todays world?
The Vet had to put our cat down for cancer and the more I read it seems to be a problem.
Is it cause of the crap they put into our pets food that we buy.
