Cats - January 2007

Today our kittens will be 5 days old, and from day 1 they have been in a plastic dog crate with the top off so it's just like a large box, there is a small pillow on the bottom covered with a towel I change every day.

This morning I got up at 6, and DH was home from work sitting on the couch, next to him on my electric blanket I keep on the couch, were all the kittens, I asked him if he was hanging out with them, he said " No, when I got home they were all here, I thought you put them here and forgot them, So I put them back in the box, went to the kitchen for a drink and Coco (momma cat) brought them all back.

Hm I sat with him and after a while, I decided to put them back in the box, Coco was out of the room, she came right back and picked one up and brought it back on the couch, and went to get the rest, I just got them for her, and she just lied there with them.

At 6:30 my kids got up, and DH went to bed, I told them about what Coco was doing, Kittens were still on the couch, now the kids put them in the box, as soon as the last one was in the box, Coco took one and put it back on the couch!

So now it's 7 am and I have 6 kittens on my couch, anyone have any idea why she she keeps bringing them up there?

She eats kitten food, but won't drink water, though she will drink milk. What should I do? She cries when she uses her litter tray. She is otherwise very alert and playful, but this worries me.

We have two, and the others' bum is sometimes of great interest.

They're both indoors-only, eating the same food,* so they can't be sniffing to see who went where and ate what, I wouldn't _think_...


* Mostly. One likes the odd small treat of people food; she slupps spaghetti with butter and cheese, and eats, of all things, eggplant and Cheerios. The other is apparently a refugee from a dairy farm; he'll down any cheese, cream, milk, butter, ice cream, etc, left unattended for more than sixty seconds. But that's not frequent enough, I'd think, to make things that interesting.

Is it true that white cats with blue eyes have a really good chance of being deaf?

I have a kitten almost 4 months old, and right now I'm feeding her half a cup of food per day, I feed her 3 times a day, but she is still constantly hungry and stands near her bowl meowing at me all the time! What should I do?? I also feed her a saucer of milk (cat-type, that you find in supermarkets) daily and occasionally some chicken/fish.

I have two cats. They stay in all the time apart from going out to the balcony. The female cat sneezes all the time. She had this last year too, i took her to the vet. Nothing. Shes sneezing and she s pulling her upper lip up and making this funny noise like she s trying to get something out thats stuck there. She doesnt have runny eyes or a runny nose, nothing. Just the sneezing. I vaccume and dust every other day so it cant be that either. Help please?! She seems fine, playing, sleeping, eating... Just doesnt seem right that she gets these sneezing fits. Thank you.

I have two cats and when I first got them they were so good about going to their litter box and using it.
Now they have stopped using it all the time, they tend to go on my carpet and only in the same room as the litter box, they will also pee in front of my hallway door.
I can't take it anymore and I don't want to get rid of them.
Is there a reason why they started this when they got older (they are only 1 and a half) How can I get them to stop!!!!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS?????????

My cat Hustler is six months old and he's been great and healthy since day one. But just today i noticed that when i was petting him that i felt a a gooey little whit thing thru my fingers. i found two others and concluded that they were worms of course! ichecked his litter box and found nothing i looked around his bum and again nothing. If it is worms how can i cure it? and howd he get it? he's an indoor cat.

...except worms? I found some weird parasite in his drinking bowl in 3 different occassions. Twice, right after he got dewormed by the vet. The vet warned us that the worms might be coming out in the litter box, but she didn't tell me it could be coming out of his mouth ALIVE! Is it possible? Anyway, it was 3 weeks ago and today I found another one swimming in his water bowl, not the same shape, a little bit bigger than a long grain rice and it's brown in color with legs (ewww!!). I need you to list me the names of all kind of parasites possible so I can look up the pictures online and compare them with that tiny monster.

I'm going to see the vet tomorrow morning and I put the 'worm' in a ziplock bag to show it to her. But I'm really curious as what it could be. Thank you.

My Cat has been using the litter box about every 5-7 minutes. (My hubby and I timed her since it has been going on the last 5 days)
After words she drags her butt across the ground then licks it. (Yes I know it sounds likes worms but she is a house cat who has not been outside in over 6 months)
Any suggestions? Please only answer if you have an actual suggestion!

He goes crazy batting at it and by the time I catch him, the entire roll is shredded all over the floor!! I cant lock him out of the bathroom because his litter box is in there. Any ideas?

I've never seen this before. Her half-grown kitten, a neutered male, vomits huge quantities of watery vomit. I didn't know the little tummy could hold so much. He has been doing this a few times a week since he was pretty little. He's had vet checks, shots, and has been very well-cared for. His growth and weight are very good. Has anybody seen this before? Thanks for whatever you can tell us.

She is 2 and has been using the litter box since she was able as a kitten. (we have had her since she was 2 weeks old) She all of a sudden started climbing in backpacks and boxes and peeing. I have been diligent about cleaning the box to make sure that is not why, and I just caught her trying to pee on papre on the floor next to the cat box. WHAT IS THE DEAL???

My kitten (9months but already looks full grown) has always been a wild one when it comes to nail clipping. He scratches, kicks, and bites even when I wrap him in a blanket, have another person helping, or try to distract him with treats. I have to cut them when he is asleep which is getting harder to do as he grows older.

I need HELP!!!! His nails are so sharp they hurt when he plays :( I'm not interested in declawing, and softpaws (nail caps) are impossible to get on him. If anyone has any tips I would REALLY appreciate them! Thanks :)

My cat frequents outside and last night he brought a tick in on him. I did the only thing I've been taught and grabbed as far down on the thing as I can and pulled. I squished it and flushed it down the pot. Here is the kicker--- There is this black dot/ hole there and I don't know if the sticker thing is still in there, or that is just where it was. My cat is acting a little weirder then normal-- hiding behind the couch and stuff which is not like him. Is he just freaked out, or should I be worried. Would peroxide bubble out the sticker thing if it was still in there?

I have a appointment for her on thursday, they told me she cant eat 8 hours before dropping her off.And I will be able to pick her up later in the afternoon. Anyone have any suggestions? What can I do to comfort her? Will she be in alot of pain? Is her personality going to change after this? I feel so bad for her now, she seems as if shes in pain or so uncomfortable now being in heat, she crys so loud and rubs her head and body on the floor, my poor baby.

My 10 year old siamese collapsed and went into a coma, by the time I had got her to her Vet she was barely breathing.(said 10 more minutes she would have died)...they tested her sugar levels and it was in the 40's,temp was 95 & all enzymes were fine, but they have no idea why she is in this coma, the Tech there said she had never seen this before. No poisons to get into and she's quite the pampered cat and no health problems.She's now on life support and they are clueless to what's wrong .Have you ever heard of anything like this?
(it's breaking my heart)

I have a Bengal and a Siamese. When I touch or pet the Bengal, very often there is a static electricity shock. It is often - if I'm petting him, there's a shock about once every three strokes. But with the Siamese it almost never happens.

(Detail - as you would expect, the static shock happens when me and the Bengal are standing or sitting independantly - it doesn't shock if he's on my lap)
