Cats - January 2007

My cat has a very touchy stomach and can only eat Special Kitty Urinary Health or she throws up, so I cant put her on a diet food. I've cut down her food, but I cant give much less because our other cat is very thin and needs extra food. Tigger is very inactive, and I recently started her on an exercise program. What type of exercise is best for fat old cats?Is there anything else I can do?

There are 3 kittens (2 boys, 1 girl). I separated them from their Momma about 3 mos. ago. They are eating dry food 100%... but at night & early morning 2 of them keep trying to nurse off of their brother (yes, I'm sure he's a boy)!! I can't get them to stop... What can I do????

Hi - we have a little kitten who 's now almost 9.5 weeks - Saw the vet 2 weeks ago right after we welcomed him @ home and she said he was in great health- He is a bundle of joy, very active ( he is an Aby) and very vocal- The one thing that always worries me though is that he systematically meows when he goes pee or poop in his litter ( whether we are in the room near him or not )- ( he acts very healthy, has no diarhea , seems to use the litter at a regular pace, has been dewormed etc...) We clean his litter once a day in the evening so I doubt it is him asking for something cleaner- Does any of you have an idea of why he has this behavior ? is it just an habit he could have caught from his littermates ? or just because he is vocal ? or is it something you guys have experienced and does it mean anything that i should be aware of ?

My cat princess has fleas. The fleas bite me and gave me a cold. Can I die if Princess gave the fleas a cold and fleas gave the cold to me?

My fiance and I got a new kitten a month ago. It is a boy and he is just now 11 weeks old. He is really small for his age, about 1 pound right now. We also have a 4 year old girl cat. She is not the nicest cat in the entire world by far!! She hates people and only wants to be loved when convenient for her (which is usually in the middle of the night).
Well, I have been reading on here about her establishing dominance and all that. I completely understand that. However, it is getting a little bit ridiculous.
We keep him in a bedroom while we sleep and while we are at work because we don't trust her yet. When we are home he is free to roam around but we have to keep him right beside us because she torments him! She acts obsessed when he is in the room. She stalks him and pounces and bats at him. (She is declawed thank God!) The worst thing is she will get him in a corner and just sit there and stare at him. He won't budge.
Anyone ever encountered this problem?

I am trying to change my cat's diet. i used to feed him half a tin of whiskers (wet food) in the morning, and half a tin in the evening. He isn't extremely over-weight, but is a little big. and am trying to change his food to iams, as i've heard it's better for him, but he only eats a mouthful, or he will refuse it totally. i'm starting to feel really guilty, as i don't want him to be hungry, but want him to eat healthy food!!! what can i do?!

we have a neighbor who's cat sitting for someone. but she doesn't take care of the cat. the cat's been out and about in our back yard for about 6 months. we've talked to her, but she just doesn't care. so we've been feeding the cat ourselves. what should we do?

I've tried the stretchy neoprene, the buckle, and the SafeCat safety collars. My little monkey (cat) manages to get them all off or get his lower jaw stuck in them, which is very dangerous. If I tighten the SafeCat one enough, he can't get his mouth on it (I think), but he ends up straining the safety clasp, with his foot I guess, till it comes off. Maybe it comes off when he's wrestling with the other cat. Well, now the clasp is worn out and won't stay on more than a day. He's not the most coordinated and has fallen off the deck (one story, he's fine), so I do have to keep an ID tag on him.

pointer, but she would chase it and I would shine it on the front door and she was launching herself like 5 and a half feet straight up. It was crazy, she was jumping as high as my chin! She is only about a year old and was the runt of her litter.

I am going out to AZ to visit my dad for 9 days, and I am not sure what to do about my cat while I'm gone. I was thinking I would just have my bf and my friend come visit him to feed him, spend time with him, etc. One problem is, my cat has been lonely/upset lately because I had to put my other kitty to sleep about a month ago.

My friend offered to just have him stay at her place while I'm gone, but I am not sure if that's a better idea. She has two cats herself. All the cats are fixed, so that's not an issue. My cat stayed at my mom's for a few months while I was in between apartments and did fine with her two cats. My friend and I are planning to do a trial run next week to see how they get along.

Which do you think would be a better? Should he stay alone at my place (with visitors) or stay with my friend (as long as they all seem to get along)?

Hi there,
I have a persian Cat aged 18 months old who is due within the next 2 weeks or so to have her Kittens. However although I know she concieved around the middle of November I'm not sure of the exact date. What signs would I look for when She is ready...apart from the fact that I'd see little Kittens popping out that is...lol
Like what signs show me that she will be preparing for birth. Will she start searching out a place to give birth like a favourite little corner or bed etc...I have a Rottweiler whom she gets on great with but would prefer the Kittens wern't around him as he can get a bit over affectionate & may cause harm un-wittingly
I'd appreciate any help as I really want to be at home with her rather than leave her alone....Thanks Guys.

I have a one year old German Sheppard, and a 2 year old female cat. I never got either of them fixed because it just seemed cruel. Now, the dog is always humping furniture and people, and the cat is always going into heat and making all sorts of racket. For the last few months I've let the dog and the cat "mate". It seems odd, but the cat stops whining and the dog seems to enjoy it so I saw no harm. I started finding blood in the litter box, and noticing the cat behaving oddly. Will allowing them to do this cause any long term problems for the cat or the dog?
