We have 2 cats. One isn't quite a year old yet and the other is 13 and partially blind from cataracts. The older one has traveled quite a bit--he used to be my mom's cat and rode 25 miles to the vet and rode down from Oregon to Los Angeles. He has lived with us since--2003. the young one hasn't been left longer than a few hours and is still in his 'into everything - destructive' stage. We will be car traveling and our destination is 3 hrs away, staying in a hotel room and they won't be alone in the room more than a couple of hours (closed in the bathroom). The alternative is they stay home with someone to feed and give them fresh water every day. But, she isn't a cat person--one of my friends who is a cat person will visit at least once to check on them but, she lives 30 miles away. I am worried about boarding them because the blind one gets disoriented--he feels safer when he is with us but, he is very familiar with home surroundings. All answers/suggestions welcome!!!

I have had my cat for 7 years. He has lived with my mom for about 3 years, since I couldn't have him at my apartment. He tore up my mom's couch really bad by scratching the corners. I am moving into a house, and I have new furniture (and yes, I replaced mom's couch as well!) and I can't have him tearing everything up. He is too old to get declawed, plus he likes to go outside, so I want him to keep his claws. Any suggestions on how I can get him to leave couches and chairs alone? What has worked for you?

I've come across a lot of abusive questions lately. I don't validate these people by answering them, I just click on "Report abuse" under the question. Maybe people who answer these questions should lose points not gain them. Maybe we as a "community" could help the Yahoo Team out and find a solution to this problem. For the most part, I've found this site to be very informative and helpful. Perhaps if a question is found to be abusive, anybody who answered it should lose points and not gain 2? What do you think?

My cat jumps on the counter all the time and it is driving me nuts. When I'm making lunch in the morning and dinner at night. He is such a pain. I throw him off every second and he come right back on.

My cat is very unaffectionate. She only shows affection when she wants something. If ever I pick her up she struggles to be released. We've had her since a kitten and she has always been like it. Could she have a form of autism?

I'm definitely sure my cat hasn't gone outside. I had him for three weeks, he vanished within the house. I looked everywhere.

This lady on craigslist posted a topic on her cat being stuck 75 ft up in a tree, no one will help her she called around everywhere, the fire department said they wont help unless a person is stuck in the tree with the cat, If anyone has any ideas on how we can help this poor kitty who has been trapped up there for almost 5 days please help!! I'm concerned because not only is it starving and cold, but she also said a hawk has been eyeing the poor kitty. Any help, anything at all please comment!! Thank you!

He's the cutest... sometimes. But I live in a small flat (on the 4th floor) and this just isn't enough to entertain him despite his array of toys! It's like having a new born... I haven't had a good nights sleep in months. He is still young (just under a year) and we had him castrated already.... the main problem is him waking up at about 5 and keeping me awake because he wants feeding... any suggestions?

I just got two 8 week old kittens who were a bit undersocialized at first, but now seem to be getting better... well anyway when i hold either of them they seem content because they purr and everything, but they get distracted very easily and usually end up jumping out of my arms after about 30 seconds. they usually get distracted by each other, or just anything.... is this just a kitten attention span thing, or do they feel a bit uncomfortable when i hold them? they don't seem uncomfortable, which is why i am confused. Should i just let them jump out of my arms then try again? will i ever be able to hold them for longer than 30 seconds? what should i do that can help me be able to hold them as adult cats?

I just recently got 2 kittens who are 8 weeks old; a boy and girl from the same litter. They are very sweet and were a bit undersocialized when i got them, but now they will happily purr when given attention.... the only problem is that they always seem to be distracted by each other. When they are around each other, they seem more interested in playing and fighting and cuddling with each other rather than humans. It's cute, but i would like it if they were more eager for human attention. How can i get their attention more directed towards me? Would it work if i spend a couple days at a time seperating each other, so they can learn to depend upon human attention just as much as each other? Is this just a kitten thing and will they grow out of it, or should i start working on getting their attention more to human cuddling and petting?

Oh and things i have tried already:
interactive play with toys
bringing one into another room
plenty of time petting and loving

She also starts fights with the other cats, runs up and down the stairs chasing her all night, harasses her for her food and loses all her toys?

My cat is a little overweight, she is fluffy. Everytime I brush her, these little hair balls get stuck in her fur and I have to cut them out. Also she has white little flakes in her fur, and she has a little extra ski when i pet her, like under her chin, on her stomach. She is only 4-5. Should I be concerned? She also hasnt had a checkup for years.

She is five. I've tried distracting her with her favorite catnip toys in the hallway outside of my kitchen while also trying to prepare food, and eat it....it doesn't really work. She gets under my feet sometimes which really bugs me. I tell her to go lay down in the hallway and 50% percent of the time she will comply after repeat verbal cues. Anyone have any better ideas on trying to get a cat to stop her begging habit (its like a dog's, honestly).

I've had three cats runaway in the past years, never saw them again! The very first one had lukemia, the other two were young and healthy.

I just got a new 8 week old kitten a few days ago, and i noticed that when i try to touch her or pick her up whenever she is around food, she starts growling and getting really mad at me. I don't want her to continue to have this behavior when she is an adult. Is there any way to stop her from being so protective of her food? Should i be worried about this?

of course, without hitting her, because thats just cruel.
But she needs to understand she is an indoor cat, and the busy road out the front of my house has big cars that wont stop while she plays on the road.
she is an indoor breed, so please dont say I should let her run free. i paid alot of money for her and im not going to let her get squashed on the road.
please, any suggestions on how to train my 3 month old ball of fluff to understand that she is an indoor cat... and thats just the way it is!

My cat is sick, what do I do? She is sneezing and her nose sounds congested. Will she be okay, I mean can it be fatal?
She usually sleeps outside, but I've put her in the garage and i will keep here there at night until summer time.

hi, i've been asking a few questions on here about my cats, mittens and mr. snickers, and i got some good answer's but some of you folks are real mean, and told yahoo to cancel my questions even though i"m just trying to learn more. anyway, i've had it and i'm moving where i don't have to put up with this shabby treatment.

my question is mittens and mr. snickers HATE riding in the car with me (once they both tried scratching me!), so i'm just going to mail them on ahead to are new home in tennessee (where it's still a free country, thank you very much). should i put them in the same box so's they have company or mail them seperate to save on the postage? or should i maybe use a big cardboard tube so they'll hold still? also, do i need to write 'this end up' even though they always land on their feet?

thanks, and probably good bye real soon.

I've read interesting things about this partially "wild" breed of cat. Just wondering if any of you out there have any experience with them. Is it scary owning a wild cat ? Are they friendly, or just nice to look at?
