We have a 9 week old kitten, she's really playful and cuddly. We just got a n 11 week old today. Our little girl we named Ella, and we named the new kitten Max. Max has hissed at Ella and he Ella then back. Is this normal behavior for kittens just meeting eachother. I have never owned a cat before, I've always had dogs, so I was half expecting them to start playing right away. Will they become friends eventually, or I am better off giving Max back?

i have a 6mth old long haired kitten which i am allergic to. Can someone please advise me on what i can do about this or where i can take her for re-homing. i am trying to get help from my doctors and the vets but they are not very helpful. they have advised me to say away from her which does not help as she goes everywhere in the house and sleeps on anything she pleases, mainly my pillows on the bed or on my side of the bed.

I have a new cat from 2 months now she is around 4 months old. I have this problem when the cat is making pee she is doing it in the litter box, but when she makes the "big thing" (you know what i mean) she is making it outside from the litter around one and a half human step from the litter box. Can u tell me is it a way to make her doing the both things in the litter box and is it a way of somehow make the place that she makes the big thing with something so she dont go there anymore because she is making it at the same place (but outside from the litter box, but at the same place)

all tips will be helpfull!

I had already asked this almost exact question, but had found out from someone in my family that he threw up again (mentioned above) today. He is scheduled to go in tomorrow for the procedure. I just want to make sure everything is safe. How/ what would the vet do to check him over beforehand? Also, could it really just be a hairball- even mixed with the other stuff? It's not that I don't trust the vet- I'm just worried. Thank you

In October I moved into an apartment with two girls, one a friend, the other a stranger. The roommate I didn't know personally had not been treating her two cats for fleas. I was getting bitten by what I assumed to be spiders (I have never encountered fleas, the signs were not obvious to me) for a month before I wised up.

I have done everything I could think of to rid the apartment of fleas, with little help from my roommates: I have vaccummed the entire apartment, mopped, covered all the corners with IGR flea powder, washed all my linen, and we have fumigated the apartment twice with two different types of foggers--one specifically for fleas. My roommate has Advantaged the cats. After a two week absense, the fleas are back.

I want to get an exterminator but my roommates do not want to pay for one, and the cats are illegally hiding in our apartment so they are afraid to draw suspicion. One other thing: we do not have a carpet, only hardwood. What should I do?

The vet said she will not do any surgery until she checks him out first- I do trust the vet, but am still nervous. I just want to know is this a big deal, or could it just have resulted from changing brands of food or a hairball? Would she really be able to tell if everything's ok before the procedure- because if I have to reschedule I will- should I just do what she says? Thank you

We have two male Bengals, both neutred, eighteen months old, they are brothers.
One of them is really, noisy, and pushy to the point of being aggravating. His brother is much quieter and never seems to have developed an adult cat meow. He has a kind of kitten squeak. Up until recently he never made any noise at all. Why is that??

13 year old all white cat, cloudiness in only one eye. Vision does not seem to be affected, still jumps up on high objects, like counters, table and dresser.

My cat, Jabba, is front declawed. When he sits on the couch he takes his back claws and digs them into the couch and you can hear the fabric pop as his nails enter. No matter how much trimming of his nails we did, he would still do it. So we bought him some Soft Claws, they are silicone caps for cat’s nails; it’s a safe alternative to declawing. Well he wears them; however he isn't a fan of them. He has been wearing them for several months now, but lately, within the last month he has been taking off the same two middle toes on his right paw. We can put them on 3 times a day and within an hour of being let go he will have them removed. We have held him down for almost an hour just to let the glue dry, and have even watched him like a hawk, but sure enough within an hour or so they are off again. Those two nails seem slick; could they keep coming off easy because they have nothing to grip too? What if we used a nail file, VERY CAREFULLY, and filled a little of the nail so the glue had something to adhere too? Would that work? Has anyone tried Soft Claws and had this happen? I will take any advice. We seem to go through these things like water, but they are so AMAZING! Really work wonders.

I have a 14 year old male cat. He has become very picky lately as to what he will eat. He did have urinary problems when he was younger, but has not had any issues in years. I usually feed him Iams. I also give him a few cans of the new fancy feast each week. He really likes the fancy feast as long as it doesn't contain fish.

My problem is that it is far too expensive for me to feed him the fancy feast alone and I don't want to buy him cheap food with less nutrition. He has stopped eating the Iams. I think that he either is holding out for the wet food, or the hard food may be difficult for him to chew.

It looks like homemade food may be an excellent option for me, but I want to be certain to make it properly. Should I add a supplement? Should I add veggies? If so, what kind.

I can feed myself good food for as much as a case of store bought cat food cost, so I think I can give him a better meal than pre-packaged food. Any help will be appreciated.

Last night we let our barn cats out of the barn to play, and about an hour later one of them came back covered in blood with her tongue hanging sideways out of her mouth. It had been mostly severed almost at the base of her tongue. She seemed alert and responsive, though she was obviously irritated by it. We rushed her to the vet. and he sewed it back on, but he is not sure if it will "take", and if it does how much mobility she will have lost in it.

She is about 2 years old and spayed.

If it is paralyzed, or if the tissues don't fuse back together and it must be amputated, how much chance does she have of survival? I don't think it will affect her eating as much as it will her ability to drink, since cats lap up water.

Anyone have any ideas that we could use to help her? Similar experiences?

Thank you in advance!
