Cats - December 2006

Is there a specific number of cats that will constitute me a the cat lady, or is it based on square footage. Or is it based soley on my behavior?

She is not that large, but she has long hair and is VERY affectionate. Her face is not smushed. She gets along well with my bulldog and my sister's pomeranian. She is extremely calm. When I cuddle with her, she is limp, letting me hold her as I please. When I pull her into my lap, she lays where she falls, always content. Her purr is loud. I've never had a ragdoll cat, but I've heard they are like this? Whatever she is, I'm glad she's now mine!!! :)

I got my kitten when she was very young, and because she was so little, I got her a litter pan for inside, even though I have a cat door and my older cats simply go outside to do their business. When she got older, I started moving the litter pan closer and closer to the cat door, and then finally outside by the cat door and then I finally did away with the pan all together. While the pan was there, she did really well and never had an accident. But now that there is no pan, she's is peeing and pooping all over the house. If I walk her outside in the morning, she goes to the potty fine - but left to her own devices, she simply goes where ever the mood strikes. The whole point of having the cat door is not to have a smelly litter pan. How can I train her to go outside to do her business?

We just moved and we were told that we had to keep the cat inside for a while or he would run a way b/c his whole life has been at the old house (2 yrs.). How long until we can let him go outside? Will he run a way since we are here? Anyone who knows a lot about cats please help.

I hate that I have to find a new home for Riley. He has been the "baby" in my home of 3 cats for the 6 yrs. of his life. He is sweet natureted and loves to be with you.(pull up a chair while you cook and he will come watch you :) ) He is neutered. He needs a home where someone is home with him a lot of the day, and he needs to be the only cat in the family. He does best without young children in home.

This lady gave us a cat that was well cared for spayed/nutered etc and has all his shots, He acted normal when my wife held him, but now back at our house he is acting really scary with this growling and hissing, he is so aggressive he won't let us up stairs!. He even came down the stairs to the living room growling at me and jumped on the arm of the couch and attacked my arm!!! He is crazy, sometimes he rubs against your legs, then he starts growling!! what should we do with him? He is NOT timid and is extreamly agressive and appears nuts! HELP!

I've never been interested in cats (always a dog person) & never really had the chance to because some of my family members are allergic. I live with my boyfriend (who is also allergic to cats), and we've been talking about getting a pal for our puppy. Cats have been growing on me. I understand that a lot of allergy problems have to do with cat dander.... I was just wondering if there were any types that are better for people with allergies?

He'll bring me a hair tie and hold it in his mouth until I ttake it. I toss it and he fetchs! It is soooo cute but I want ot know if it is normal. Is he mentally challenged or does he think he's a dog. I don't want it to stop unless it's bad for him in some odd way(I hope not).

I live out in the country near a busy country road... In the past yr alone I had five of my pet cats hit by a car. When missing I instintively go to a spot on the raod where 9 out of 10 they will be...but only as an incorpoararted part of the road. Am I doing something wrong? It happens mostly at night. Any suggestions?

This is probably a stupid question considering the fact that I have two other cats. But I have a 9 month old female pastel calico who is still really tiny. Shouldnt she be almost done growing? We got her at 2 months and she was super tiny, smaller then most kittens but she was not a runt, her parents where small also. Could she be done growing at 9 months? I really would like her to stay this small becuase she is really cute and so much smaller then my other two. The vet seems to tell us she is healthy so I'm sure it's not like a health thing. Shes not under weight or anything just small. She looks like about 6 months and is going to be a year in march.

In the morning, he meows like crazy until I scratch him allover. If I'm busy, I copy his every meow and he seems to like it and meow more. I'm not sure if he realy does like it. I don't want to annoy him!

Tabby is almost 11 weeks old and she likes to play bite. I know you cant spank them but saying ouch really loud does not seem to help. she is a sweet little kitty. She like to groom our faces but then she will nip our chins or cheeks. It hurts!! Please advise!!!

My cat won't leave me alone! At this moment, she is sitting on my lap and every time I put her down on the bed or something, she jumps off and follows me. Why is she doing this? She can't be lonely because her brother was adopted along with her and they are always playing and sleeping together. She also got spayed three weeks ago, so it can't be that either. Something that she does that really annoys me is that she is always trying to come inside my room, she meows, and meows outside my door all night!

BTW, she is only nine months old; we've had her since she was three months.

He eats normally. He allways has food in his bowl (it's dry cat food).
He's healthy, he's happy. So why does he do it?

We don't know how old he is, as he does not have any of his teeth. I've never heard of a cat getting all of his teeth removed at once, so why would someone possibly do this to him?

He's also declawed and neutered. Is it possible someone had all of his teeth removed so that he couldn't bite them? He's the sweetest and friendliest cat I've ever met - been home for an hour, and already curled up in bed with us.

Hmmmm yes I'm sending him to the vet in about 2 hours. I was curious, should i stick to herbal remedies to cure the ringworm or use prescription stuff fomr the vet? I don't want to pay all this money I don't have for something that may not work when i could have a cheap more effective herbal remedy? Anyone know any good remedies ?

My cat is due to have a tooth removed under anesthetic. i've been told to starve him for 12hrs but that seems rather a long time.

I am looking after a friend's cat. But they haven't changed the litter for ages. So what do I do? Do I need a special bag?

The growth does not bother her and it does not bleed. It does not get any larger or smaller. She has had it for one year.
