Well i just got back from the shelter and i adopted a beatiful black and white cat. She is really furry and she loves to be pet and held. She is actually getting along good with my other pets and she is really fitting in. I feel realyl good that i saved a cats life cause she was gonna get put down this week. So anyone else have a story to tell me?

I am looking for anyone who has experienced similar behaviors from their adult cat that has started inappropriately
urinating outside his litter box and spraying. I am curious and worried as to why he has started this behavior and am inquiring as to how I should try and resolve this issue? I moved to a different state 3 months ago, so perhaps he is still anxious or stressed over the move? He is also doing the act in front of me, so when I catch him and call out his name to distract him, he just runs away. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Our fences are by no means totally confining. Maybe for a dog but I'm wondering since these cats have the extra toes, does that mean that maybe they don't climb as well as other cats and that it might be possible to confine him? Any suggestions besides locking him up inside? He loves exploring outside and I don't want to take that away from him.

CAN CATS CATCH ANY KIND OF SICKNESS?

2007-01-08 08:31:18 · 9 answers · asked by Anonymous

Ok this is the question. I have had my kitten for about 4 months and now he is 5 months old. I decided that he needs a friend so I adopted a female kitten about 4 months of age. She is much smaller than him and of course she is a female. I thought the fact that she is the opposite sex and much smaller in size would compromise a friendship between them. But it turns out my male kitty doesnt like her after all. He hisses at her, growls at her and he even tried to smack her once. I feel bad for the new kitty because she is so tiny. However, she is also brave and doesnt seem to care about his machoness. I don't know how I can get the two to be friends. I got another kitten so that he can have company. What should I do? How can I handle this? Serious answers please. Thank you.

My kitten just got spade on Weds, and she fell off a ledge of a staircase on Saturday and fell on her feet and was fine. She was all excited and continued to play after words. We noticed later that she now has lump along the line of her incesion where her stitches are. She is now sleeping alot, but eats, drinks, cleans her self, goes to the bathroom normally and does come for pets and playing a couple times a day. Does she just have a cold and normal scar building, or should I be more worried?

Right now, we are -- long story -- feeding a mix of a Eukanuba food 'for less active indoor cats,' a Royal Canin one for older kittens, and Hill's Science Diet Nature's Best.

1 I suspect the Hill's is the 'best,' but it doesn't seem to be the favourite.
2 They are just getting out of kittenhood, but still like the Royal Canin, and I've heard kitten food is good for cats -- true or false? They're still young, and had poor diets before we got them.
3 The 'less active' -- one has been getting a bit podgy after being spayed.

Should I keep feeding the mix?

Or is there a really good one that's going to suit two cats just under a year old, with one 'a bit podgy,' etc?

Those are all dry. But a small serving of wet food is demanded and provided every morning, and as for that -- we've used Nutro, Blue Spa, Iams, and many other of the overpriced varieties. A variety there seems to be what's wanted, but feel free to comment on that.

My cat is crazy. Whenever I use Bengay on sore muscles, he's all over me sniffing and licks my hands even after I washed them. It's like cat nip to him. Are there any veterinarians out there that can answer this question? One time the tube of Bengay dropped on the rug and some came out. That crazy cat actually wallowed in it. Is it the menthol? I really want to know. Thank you

My 15 yr old siamese has been coughing up mucus and swallowing it to the point he throws it up. He's not running a fever, nor are his lungs blocked, in fact they sound perfectly clear.
He coughs primarily after sleeping all night and after long naps (he's even lost his voice a few times).
Should I take him in? Please, I'm scared!

My kitten has just gone into heat- we were going to get her fixed, but we thought she was younger than she apparently is. How long will it last and is it still okay to get her fixed once she's done? Thanks in advance!

I'm trying to make the decision on this issue - declaw or not. People have been telling me not to declaw the cats because it involves a mutilation of the cat,s body (i.e. at least a portion of the last digit of the foot or toe). But the same people and groups that are up in arms about declawing are vigorously advocating that I have the cats spayed. Well, what is spaying if not a mutilation of the cat's body? The cat's ovaries and uterus are cut from its body and it's cervix is tied off. That's pretty mutilating. But the gain on the other end is you don't end up with a lot of unwanted kittens. The gain on the other end of the declawing is you don't end up with a ruined house and/or furniture. Seems like an arbitrary value judgment to say don't declaw but do spay. My cats never go out, so the self-defense issue is moot. Anyone care to chime in on this? I admit I'm leaning toward declaw based on the above reasons.

My cat looks like a marble cake ..he thinks cool whip or white icing would go perfect with his white paws and white chest (he's very conceited, rightfully so).

Should I go ahead and indulge his fantasy?

If so, how would I go about slathering it on him?

If you think I shouldn't do this, how do I let him down easily (this is his only request of me in 5 years!)

My cat seems to have a stomach bug. He has vomited a couple of times and does not have much energy. I am planning to take him to the vet if his condition does not get any better but I was just wondering if anyone knows what this could be. He is eating fine but he seems a bit depressed. There has been no blood in his urine or his vomit. Pleae state references if you have any. Thanks a lot!

So... my cat had a problem with scratching my brand furniture (leather couch) he wouldn’t use his scratching post and wouldn’t stop! so I finally had to get him declawed... ONLY IN THE FRONT! but its weird! he still goes around to all of my furniture and tries to scratch it... like he still has claws! It’s quite amusing, but I don’t understand... is my cat stupid?? or is he just doing it to get the attention?!?!

My cat isn't herself lately and I noticed she has been peeing on the outside of the kitty litter and her urine is a orange color instead of yellow. I haven't noticed her eating and she isn't affectionate like before. She is always under the bed. I am going to take her to a vet tomorrow when I have a car to take her in, but was wondering what could be wrong.
