I have two female cats. One is 1.5 years and spayed, the other is 3.5 months (waiting till 6 months to have her spayed.) My big cat seems like she's on a constant mission to sniff the kitten's butt! She'll even pin the kitty down (doesn't hurt her) just to sniff. Why is this? Do cats have scent glands in this region or is it about heirarchy? I've seen dogs do this plenty of times, but I'm kind of a new cat owner.

I can't seem to find much info. about this on the Internet, so I was hoping someone who knows cats' anatomies better might be able to help!

I do. And my cat loves it. But I am slightly embarrassed taking him out. I justify it due to the fact that he has leukemia and this is the only safe way for him to enjoy the outdoors. I am not a crazy cat lady who anthropomorphizes her animals and dresses them up in costumes, etc.

Me and my boyfriend are going to be moving in together someday soon and he has 2 cats female and I have 2 cats that are male and Mine have thier claws and His cats are decalwed> I don't want my male cats hurting the female cats. I am not wanting to do it but my boyfriend said I better cause he will be upset of his cats get hurt. I think that they will be fine and that the boy cats will maybe be rough a lil bit at first but lose interest in them eventually like they do for thier toys. I guess they do rough house with each other alot and female cats might not.. all the cats are spad or nuetered so that won't be a problem. comments??? or and also has anyone heard of the surgery where they cut the cats tendons to the claw so they cant extend them instead of taking out the whole claw?? if you know anything about this I would appreciate it!!!

My cat has fibrosarcoma in her mouth and sinus. I have had the vet do 3 surgerys removing tumors from the roof of her mouth so that she can continue to eat. I have been doing assisted feeding for over a month now. The tumor has grown back again after the 3rd surgery and I have to water down her food so that she can swallow it. I am feeding her the veterinarian perscribed A/D. I am hoping to find someone familar with this type of cancer and who can give me some ideas for fighting it. Our veterinarian doesn't seem to have much hope for her. I have read about and tried using some home remedies like flax seed oil, but I'm not sure if it's doing anything for her. She is pretty much skin and bones right now, so any ideas for increasing her weight quickly would also be very helpful. The A/D doesn't seem to be enough with as little as she is willing to let me feed her. Thank you for any ideas.

When we took her, Koko, in, she had a broken paw, but it healed and now she's perfectly healthy, if not a bit starved for attention. We also took in her sister, Shadow, so she would have company.

Shadow is growing just fine, but Koko isn't. We've had her for about 3 months, and she's still small enough to fit in my hand. Is this something I should be worried about, or is everything just fine?

And how many times since you put your tree up this season,have you had to re-do it.Because "Fuffy" felt the need to rearrange it?
You know knock a few balls of here and take some tinsel off there, and do away with the snowman that was ( i guess hanging ) in the wrong place.....

I've lived with my boyfriend for 2 years now and she still hisses at him and keeps her distance. She has done that to my exes as well. I think she has male issues. She likes one of my guy friends (he's very calm) and my mom's boyfriend (he's older), but that's all for men. She likes all women though. Do men come off more aggressive to cats? Is that why she's scared and mean? Is there anything I can do to get them to like each other?

I have three cats, two of whom are perfectly litterbox trianed, just by me showing them where the litterboxes are, but another who...well, let's just say she lives up to her name of Hitler (she has a black mustache, she's antisocial, and she drops poop bombs all the time!). She only poops in one of our two litterboxes, regardless of cleanliness of either, and when she goes in the floor, she only does it in ONE place: right up against this certain wall in my living room. We've tried having the carpet and walls cleaned, in case there is a certain scent telling her this is a pooping zone, and it doesn't help. Now, we just tell her "No!" while showing her the poo, then put her outside. We bring her back in the next day and take her straight to the litterbox, set her in it, and pet her to encourage her. However, this has NO effect. Please help! I want my kitty to stay indoors so she doesn't get run over or eaten, but I can't deal with her poop anymore!!!

I have a cat that I love very much... We let it come in for a couple of hours every day, but it stays outside when we're not home and when we sleep (we live way out in the country so it is VERY happy outside). The problem is another cat that keeps coming around. It eats our cat's food (which I don't mind at all), but it also attacks our cat, and since it is bigger, it always wins. My cat came in today with a huge gash and I'm afraid for its safety... Leaving it indoors is NOT an option... does anybody know any way I can keep the other cat away? I'm fixing to have my grandfather shoot it... I'm not usually the type to be malicious, but this cat is wild and we suspect that it has killed a few other cats around here. Any advice would be appreciated!

After I complained about the eviction he told me just to pay another $500. Is this legal. ? Also I was wondering how much damage a pet would have to do for him to keep all my $1000 deposit. The only damage they caused was they ripped the carpet which was old when we moved in and we have been there over 3 years already. Also if he charges me something for the rip in my carpet from the cat can he double charge me for the on my regular deposit?

If second hand smoke is so harmful for humans, does it affect animals in the same way? If not, why doesn't it? My mom smokes like a chimney and we have a cat, so I was just curious as to whether the smoke affects animals...?
