Cats - January 2007

She's 11 years old and this hasn't really been a problem before. She's had the same tray in the same place for 3 years. Haven't changed the litter brand. Gave it a really good cleaning and all the area around it over Christmas but didn't help. Discouraged her from one area with 'get off' spray but now she's started somewhere else. She is a house cat and doesn't go outside apart from rarely in the garden. We have another female cat and they have been together for 10 years and never had a problem sharing the tray. More recently she has started weeing on carpet now too. We have 3 young children and the hygiene issue is starting to worry me as well.

Quartarrah was just diagnosed yesterday after a routine blood test. They said her kidneys are only working a third of what they should be. They sent me home with a 10-day antibiotic and new K/D food.

I was thinking perhaps a feline detox may help (any recipies?) and are there herbal remedies that could reverse this?

I love my cat, and want to give her the best chance possible to survive this longer than the few months the vet said she'd last.

She's 14 years old and has been with me for 13 of them. She's a very feisty calico and has endured much in her life. I know that if there is something out there that could help her, it would work, because she's a fighter.

If anyone has a similar story, please share!

My husbands family is in the process of moving and couldn't take all their cats with them so we recently adopted one of their cats. His family said he was the quiet one of the group. (there were 3 other cats becides him in his old home) But since we have had him he has been meowing alot and sometimes pretty loud. Is there anyway to make a cat stop meowing? We live in an apartment and don't want the neighbors to hear. The owner of the complex said we could have a cat but if we get just one complaint we have to get rid of him. :( We are moving in the begining of April so we just need him to be quiet until then! Anyone have suggestions to keep him quiet? We have had him for about one week now, he has always been an indoor cat. He is 2 years old and is already fixed and declawed, we keep the house and litter box clean, his food and water dish are always full, and we pet and play with him often!

I used to give my 11 month old cat Meow Mix dry food and yesterday I brought another kind that's really good for her health! I paid almost $20.00 bucks for it! Yesterday night she ate a lot because she really liked it! This morning she vomited and now she doesn't want to eat neither one! What'll I do???

He seems to to have these sneezing fits when he starts to purr. He's been to the Dr. twice and they say he's healthy. He also has an eye that runs very often. I'm starting to get concerned after a major fit this morning. I'm starting to avoid petting him in the chance the purring is the cause of his sneazing fits. I'm bewildered. Any advice would be great.

My friend has a ragdoll cat. She climbs the walls. Really, she climbs up the walls and hangs on. How can she get her to stop? It is really damaging her walls.

I was told that cats lose hair because of stress or mange, we did recently add a whole bunch of animals to the house, so i figured he was just stressed out and is over grooming himself. But one of the spots on his back looks a little green and crusty?

She keeps trying to throw up it seems like and she occasionally makes this very strange sound like she is trying to sneeze. Is she alright, in need of help or just trying to toss up a hairball?

Does it really matter what food you buy your pet? We have two old cats. I feed them Purina One or other purina products. Some of the store brands are so much cheaper and I'm always tempted to try them. I don't want to compromise my pets health for a few bucks but wonder if the expensive food is just marketing.

I got my kitten from a shelter when she was a about 8 weeks. About a week later she started to get sick so I took her to the vet. They told me she had an upper respitory infection and gave me a bunch of meds for her- Amoxicilin, some eye drops, and something else to help get rid of thecongestion. It has been 3 days since the vet visit and I'm not seeing any improvment - infact she may even sound worse. I feel like I should take her back to the vet, but should I give the meds some more time to work before I do that?

Also I'd like to throw out there that I just dropped a lot of money into the last vet bill and now I'm kind of broke, so any "safe" at home remedies would be appreciated.

.
When my cat comes in to my bed, she often times likes to rub right at my face and often tries to sleep right atop my pillow at top of my head or next to my cheek.

I love my cat . . . yet right next to my face ? ! l I like my space and her trying to sleep there bugs me, so I gently scoot her away.

Why do cats seem to like being right next to a person's face and sleep there as opposed to elsewhere in my space on my bed ?

She has four 6-week old kittens. The kittens have been eating regular cat food for about the last 2 weeks and nursing very little since then. Momma kitty is very thin and her milk sack is a sagging hardened mass. Is this normal or what should I do? Please help! She may be a momma now, but she is still my baby girl.
