i just took him to the vet yesterday and he had ear mites, which the vet took care of. He also has diarrhea which he has medicine for. I try pulling a string for him - he's not interested. I pick him up, sometimes he squirms and keeps meowing; other times it does make him quiet. I've had cats my whole life and this has never happened. Everyone keeps saying, "He's just a baby, he needs to get used to his new home." (I just got him on Friday the 8th.) He seems very happy otherwise - always purring and LOVES to cuddle. It's just driving me and my husband nuts! any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

I've recently set up a website aimed at getting some kitties that live on the street near my place into homes. It has live streaming video of the kitties needing homes at night, and my kitties in the day. For awhile I was getting a good response, but now it's quietened down, and I need to figure out how to get it happening again! Ideas?? It's for a good cause...I"m paying for the desexing, vaccinations, aids & FelV testing etc.... the site is http://www.kittiesinthehood.com
I have already adopted 8 myself, and really need help with the other 12!

MY kitten has acne under her chin... shes clear on earmites and fleas so i thought it might have been caused by her platic feeding bowls. i didnt know it can cause allergy and stuff... i cahnged it to stainless stell bowl about 5 days ago...

my question is, the corners of her eyes are inflammed... could it be the acne spreading? she scratches the corners of her eyes just as much as she scratches her chin...

I never had to use scented litter with my other cat, but my two kittens, almost a year old now, go quite a lot and I have bought the lightly sented litter because of their smell. I also use Arm and Hammer with baking soda and that works OK.

Do you think the manufacturers know if the scented is OK for cats?

15 cats meet 3 cats each. Those cats all meet 25 cats and they all go for a curry. How many cats?

I have 4 kitties. They are all fixed. One of them is really easy going. I would be proud of this but the thing is the others sort of pick on him and he never does anything to them for it. Like when I give them treats if one gulps her treats down she'll go get poor old Cornbread's treats and he just walks off- not even a hiss. He waits in line for everything. He's bigger than the others (that's him in my avatar) so I don't think he's scared. I just wish he'd take up for himself sometimes. I have kept him in alone to treat him but he needs to stick up for his rights. He's a very good cat- no bad habits at all. What's up with him?

I have been taking care of my cat since birth, It's been 3 years and I gave her to my uncle for his birthday, I moved in with him and I have been raising the cat with me since I lived there, I'm moving away and I of course will leave the cat. She adores me so much and I to her, But she was a gift. Do you think she she will be crying or something or just forget about me???

I've recently set up a website aimed at getting some kitties that live on the street near my place into homes. It has live streaming video of the kitties needing homes 24 hours a day. I have a beautiful 8 1/2 week old kitten on the front page (i rescued her, her mom & brother when she was 4 weeks) and she's needed a home for awhile and I'm getting no inquiries about her. I have pics, info and a youtube video clip for her!! Do her pics make her look ugly or sick or something? Please let me know, she's beautiful and really needs a home of her own (I'm looking after too many at the moment to give her the time and attention she needs and her brother has already gone to his forever home). The site is http://www.kittiesinthehood.com
I have already adopted 8 myself, and really need help with the other 12 plus this kitten!
Any ideas?
Thanks

The pictures doesn't show it, but his tummy is white and he has a carmel colored lining around it. His eyes start *from pupil* as blue, then goes to green, then yellow, then amber. His tail is like as long as he is. Charlie is a ticked kitty (from skin) with the colors of white, gray, and black. But some parts are brown. So yea...can someone tell me his breed!?

I live in a basement apartment. I do the kitty litter twice a day and change it and clean the cat box itself every week. I empty it and clean it out with disinfectant, but I still cannot get that smell of kitty litter from wafting around the house. I know it is not my furniture and my carpet/accessories because i vaccum twice a week and use deoderizerize and launder what I can. What does anyone suggest? And no,I will not get rid of my two cats or move. The smell is driving me bonkers.

My female cat is 2 years old, but yet unspayed because she only weighs about 3 pounds. She was the runt of the litter, and I am hesitant to have the operation done. I have two other spayed females, one of whom was spayed at about a year younger but a pound heavier, with no complications - except that afterward, she blew up to about 10 pounds. Is it safe to spay this one at this age?

Looking for replies from qualified veterinary personnel, but I welcome input from owners who have experience with this situation. Thanks.

I found her coming out of the woods over to my house. When i examened her she had a freshly made scar on her chest, of course it healed over time, but i was just wondering does the scar have anything to do with the tummy thing? She looked like she got opperated on.

We've had a new cat for about a month now, and have barely been able to observe him until fairly recently -- he was quite scared of people at the start; almost too scared to eat.

Now he's starting to get into being petted, eating when he's hungry instead of in a rush in the middle of the night, etc.

And he's taking whatever's handy and covering his wet food with it after eating a bit.

Rather bizarrely, he doesn't do this with the dry food.

We've got one other cat, who I've never seen fighting him for the food or anything. Wet food comes out when he seems hungry (he's underweight), and there's a supply of dry out at all times.

There's a mention of cats covering food here: http://www.healthypet.com/faq_view.aspx?ID=92&sid=2 but it doesn't explain why it'd be just the wet. (There's a variety of wet, and all kinds of wet get covered, too.) He _does_ like to eat the stuff.

It is an amusing quirk. But is he trying to tell me something about the wet food, and if so, what?
