Cats - December 2006

my vet prescribed it for his diarreah but after looking it up i think the risks of the drug might outweigh the benefits in this case.

The vet (who I've trusted) said that he wouldn't go under the anasthesia, therefore got caught on something & ripped a couple of his back nails. I don't understand how this can happen? What do I do. I feel terrible like I should have never even bothered having the neutering done. Am I to blame for trusting the vet? Will his nails grow back? Will the cat resent me now? Please help!! I really don't think the vet or assistant would ever harm an animal, esp. since she saved my first cat years ago. Could this have really been a complete accident- esp. since the cat is restless/ a little aggressive to begin with? Will the cat be able to forget this trauma?

I have a cat working on 3 years old. He scratches my couch only, but is just destroying it. I will not move on my decision to not de-claw him as I deem in inhumane. Any ideas or advice on deterring him from the couch?

We have a burmese kitten that is 7 months old. I noticed the other day that it squints in one eye. Also this eye doesn't look as black as the other and reflects light. What could it be?

My hubby and I are experienced pet people, but this is a toughie. We have several cats and 2 St. Bernards, and want to adopt an adult Bengal cat. How can we make this easier? The cat is at a shelter now, because his last owner fed him kibble and now he has irritable bowel -- his foster mom says he's doing great on a raw diet. He's also declawed -- which may actually make it easier to integrate him into our 'family'. I don't want him to hurt any of our 'babies', but I also don't want to bring him home and then find out it's impossible to integrate them. Any ideas?

Just after we got our kitten spayed, we let her outside. When she was nig enough to jump over the fence, we removed the litter tray and have had no accidents luckily.
However, she has got into the habit of pooing all round our garden and it's a real pain, especially as I'm pregnant and should avoid dealing with it.
Does anyone know how we can deter her from doing this without making her or our older cat feel unwelcome in the garden?

Cheers all.

I will be flying. I have no idea how to do this. I think it will work that she can actually fly with me. But she's a poor traveler. Can the vet help with tranquilizers, etc.? How much does it cost to fly a cat? What else do I need to know that I'm not thinking of? Thanks!

I live by myself and I would love to have a kitten. I called around some pet stores and shelters and was told that spring time is kitten season. So, I'm seriously looking into it because I'll have the cat for a long time. My big concern is that I have allergies. I don't know if I'm allergic to cats though. I play with my friends cat sometimes and I have no problems, but I don't know about living with one. What breed of cats is good for someone with allergies? I know that there are hypoallergenic dogs. Are there hypoallergenic cats? And please don't tell me to get a hairless cat. They don't appeal to me.

I have this cat someone gave to me. I like the cat, but it claws all my new furniture. I tried those softpaws (glue on claw covers) and as soon as I put them on, the cat continues to bite at them until they are off. I really can't afford a large vet bill. Are they any sort of programs out there that exist, otherwise, what is the average cost for declawing a cat?

Hi! I have two 5 month old kittens already (one spayed female and one un-neutered male.) I am planning on adopting an un-neutered male kitten who is about 8 weeks old. I will be getting my 5 month old (London) neutered on January 15th. If I bring in this new little kitty, do you think that the boy will begin to spray or become hostile towards the new male? Would it be a better idea for me to adopt a female instead? Thanks!!

I'm having the vet microchip my six month old kitten. Has anyone out there had their cat microchipped? Have you lost your kitty and the chip aided in his/her return?

i have three cats, one has fairly long hair & long tufts on his feet. the clumping kind of litter tends to clump to his feet, very gross! but the silica gel kind is SOOO expensive to use for 3 cats (especially since the other two are very short haired so could use the clumping kind) does anyone have any suggestions?
