I got a kitten 3 weeks ago and introduced him to my other male cat, slowly. i keep them apart when i am not home but when i am, it is hard to always monitor everything because my other cat is always roaming the house and he goes nuts if he is locked up in another room. he comes out of nowhere and pounces and scratches my little kitten. besides keeping them separate.. am i doomed to this kind of thing indefinitely? any tips would be helpful.

It does not seem to bother him. The vet says he see's some slight gingivitis but nothing to worry about.

I am looking to provide a home for a Siamese cat. I already have a 5 month old Siamese kitten. I live in Indianapolis, but I would be willing to travel up to about 2 hours to meet someone if possible. I'm not looking to pay a lot of money, just help someone out if they need to find their SIamese a good home. Please let me know!

I'm a little worried about Romeo, my cat. When I got up this morning, he
wasn't crying for his breakfast, and didn't seem interested in
playing. He still ate, and used the litter box, and was interested in
my breakfast, and was underfoot while I made my lunch, but other than
that just seemed to want to sit. Usually he's a little ball of energy!

However, the past 4 days I've been off because of the holiday, and I've
been getting up later - sometimes as much as 3 hours after I normally
do. I'm wondering because I got up at my normal early time today if I
just caught him mid-night cycle and if he's changed his routine because
I changed mine over the weekend? Or do you think he could be sick?
(Please don't say that....) He was his normal ball of energy last
night, tearing all over the house and into everything.

My cat, Rocket, is the happiest and sweetest cat that I've ever met. She purrs all the time and loves being cuddled and held, but there's one problem: while she's so loving and happy with people, she hates other cats. She will turn nearly feral towards them. Is there any way to get her used to other cats, so she can at least be in the same room as them?

My cat won't play with toys and the problem is that I have another cat and she eats some of his food a lot of the time. I've already tried moving it so she can't get to it but she always finds it and I don't want to lock my other cat in a room by himself when it's time to eat. My cat doesn't eat low fat food (i don't want her to starve) but she eats organic cat food.

The boy cat left this morning to go to the vet, and when we brought him back into the house, the girl cat is growling and hissing and not letting him anywhere near her. What can I do?

My male cat has begun spraying recently and it's driving me crazy. Oddly enough, he only seems to do this when my husband is home. Could this be a territorial thing between my husband and my cat or is that not something that would happen? The cat is very attached to me and I'm thinking he might feel threatened by my husband being around me and is "marking me" (not physically thank goodness) as his and not my husbands.

the Science diet costs $20.00 per bag! I can get the Purina brand for around $6 or 7. Do you think there is any difference between the two? Some people I have talked to say get the science diet, others say there is no difference. What's your experience?

Does anyone have an idea of what it is..mabe ringworm? How do i treat him.

2006-12-27 03:51:09 · 9 answers · asked by bjsuno 4

everyone I would post the info from the vet, so if they had a similiar issue they would know what it could be. I didn't realize that after I selected a best answer I couldn't add more details. Sooo....here is what the vet said: Maui had no ticks, no fleas, & no mites. We found a couple more scabby bumps under his chin & on his back. The vet noticed that Maui had shorter hairs around his hind end from chewing on it. He said he definitely had an allergy to something (side note: my vet is awesome & is usually right on the money..I drive 45 min. to see him..love the place..anyhoo..) He said since there are no fleas, ticks, mites it usually indicates an environmental or a food allergy. Sooo...he got an allergy shot that's good for about 2 mos. & we switched his food. If the bumps come back after the 2 mos. then we are going to try a hypo-allergenic (spelling?) food. If it turns out to be an environ allergy, he'll have to take meds for it. Maui's doing good & loves the new food!

My new kitten is just about 12 weeks old, i got her yesterday & before i took her home the owner told me she had a slight case of ringworm >_< (Jerk) I couldn't not bring it home. I haver her in my room now, he often hides in his kitty carrier, i'v been treating her ringworm with an antibacterial & antifungus spray for cats. I constantly use handsanitizer & wash my hands, & my father is going to buy antibacterial spary for me to clean my whole room. He eats well, plays, purrs & is happy? I want to know more about the ringworm... He also has a pus eye, the eye is only slighly cloudy i guess from the infection & the pus is a light green coloration. What can i do to cure or relieve this until he gets vet attention? & also how do i prevent myself from getting ringworm?

My husband has always been allergic to my cat. His Mom could not stay at our house very long for the same reason. When my sister got divorced almost 2 years ago, it worked out well that she took my cat. Now she needs to break her lease and move back to our parent's house. They won't let her bring the cat (they have two already that do not get along with my cat - they are much younger and they fight.) My 2yo son battles asthma, I can't bring her here. No one we know wants to take her. She is almost 15 - years old. Do I put her to sleep?

I have a 5 month old male kitten and all of a sudden he has got really stinky! When you pick him up he leaves a really cheesy feet kind if smell on your hands.

I think he might be getting ready to spray - is this what it is?

Our kitten hides from our family and we have trouble coaxing him out. We adopted him from whiskers. He was handled by a wonderful caregiver who cured him of respiratory problems as a small kitten. He is very shy. We have a 12 year old female who is pretty cuddly but hisses at the new member so we have been trying to introduce them slowly. They have separate dishes and kitty box. Our house can be noisy with kids over. We thought it might be helpful to keep the kitten in my daughters room with her at night and we have the litter box in her room and cat food until the kitten adjusts. My husband thinks that this is unsanitary and the food and box should be downstairs in the kitchen. However, when we bring the kitten downstairs, it seems afraid and wants to run and hide under furniture and not eat. How can we ease the transition for this adorable frightened kitten? we have only had him for three days. (christmas present for my daughter). The cat has been neutered and shots too.

They are littermates, live strictly indoors, are very well-adjusted. We use the same litter that we have for the past five years (this has only happened in the last six months). They also have received a clean bill of health from the vet. We have two litterboxes (one that self-cleans, and the other we have to clean which we do twice a day). They use the self-cleaning one the most, when they don't mess outside of the boxes. We're pondering getting an additional self-cleaning box in addition to the one we already have. Does this sound like it would take care of the problem? Their boxes are in a quiet extra bedroom in the house where they are not disturbed, so noise/distractions do not seem to be an issue there. Territorial, maybe?
