Cats - January 2007

I left my 10 month old kitten at home when I went on vacation. While his vet is across the street, I wanted him to be in familiar surroundings.

When I got back, he had opened the shredder and played with all of the paper, which is now all over my living room. Thank goodness the shredder was unplugged!

He also gave me "love bites" to let me know he was happy I was back.

i have a kitten, about 3 months old, who was a feral we rescued at about 7 weeks. I spent a lot of time taming him and now I almost worry about him liking me too much. He is always in the same room as me, he follows me around the house and gets on my lap as soon as I sit down. He's basically stalking me in my own house.

What really worries me is that he will sit in my lap and squeak at me like crazy. i thought squeaking meant that a kitten was hungry. But his food bowl is out all the time and always has food in it. We always put it in the same place. But he does not go there on his own, he squeaks at me until I set him down in front of his food bowl. When we went out for Christmas, he was home alone for almost ten hours, and he did not touch the huge pile of food I left him. But when I got home, he started squeaking like crazy! I dumped out the old food and gave him new and then he ate it so fast he almost choked!

Why won't he eat? Is it bad he never leaves me?

my cat runs about my flat lot and just pounces on me and my guests with claws out and sometimes he even bites.

no-one does anything to wind him up he just comes out of nowhere and attacks.

some days he is fine but others he is just plain nasty.
he bit me earlier 2day.
he is nearly 2 years old and he has always been like this.
he has been neutered when he was 6moths old.

do you think he needs a playmate?
what could i do to encorage him to stop?

I am not sure how old the kitten is, but here is a picture with him next to a kleenex box for scale http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/ShapeShift81/babynewyear.jpg
and here is mom next to the same kleenex box
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v410/ShapeShift81/chibithin.jpg
Anyways, I have no idea what to do. Mom is so skinny, and the kitten can eat dry food, so I am not sure if she is just so thin that she cant nurse him, or if she is trying to wean him.
I have been feeding them dry food all day, and in the evening a can of Friskies. Just one of those cans about the size of a tuna can. I am not sure what to do with them, what to feed them, how often, and how much. And grooming! I have always had long hair cats, so this is new for me. How often should I brush them? And what about baths for them? I want to get them to tolerate baths, but I am not sure of the process.
Thank you all so much for your help! :)

my older cat is 6 years old and the vet says she is an ok weight. she has always been a nibbler and won't eat anythng but dry cat food. she is not the problem. the problem is my crazy 6 month old kitten. she will eat anything and everything. she eats her food quickly so she can eat the other cats food. so now the older cat can't nibble throughout the day and the older cat begs for more because she doesn't eat so fast like the younger one. so i'm feeding them all the time now. i'm afraid the younger one is getting overweight. i only feed them dry food everyday and wet food as a treat like once a week and sometimes a little fish too when i cook it.

If I take the food up every time I feed so the HUGE one doesn't over eat, then the little tiny 4 pound skinny cat will not be able to eat even as much as she does now.

My kitten is only 7 months old but she is moaning and someone told me she is in heat. I thought she would be too young to go into heat yet. My other cat has just come out of heat. These two were always best friends, chasing eachother, sleeping together etc. But since the other one was in heat and has just ended she doesnt want to play with the kitten. she just hisses at her. I dont know if the kitten is in heat now or is she just moaning because she is sad because she misses the other cat. Help please

My cat is 11 years old. Last year, we got a new kitten and she seems to have gotten over her jealousy well. Lately, I have discovered that she has licked about 4 inches of her fur off her leg. All there is left is skin in the spot. I try to push her head away when she licks that area, but the fur doesn't seem to be growing back. I am really worried about what is wrong with her. Is it a disease or anxiousness or being old? Please help!!!!!!!!!

My cat has a cut on his ear. It is almost fully scabbed over. Does anyone know the signs of a healthy cat like cold, dry nose. What else?

My male kitten is nine months old and weighs 8.2 pounds. Is this normal or is he overweight? I also have a female kitten that's the same age, but she weighs 7 pounds.

He's a three-year-old male and for the past few weeks has been trying to get up a hairball, but with no sucess. I'm getting pretty worried. I don't want to take him to the vet because the vets never help (I've tried many) and they are really expensive. Is there something I can do? Is this something to worry about? Thank you!!! Please help.
