Domestic cats only! No tigers or snow leopards. Assume that you are well-bred and that whoever owned you would love you, take care of you, keep you properly fed and medically sound.

What breed would you be? What characteristics does it possess that makes it special?

I KNOW all cats are special! I've never owned a pure bred in my life. I'm just curious.

I have a kitty (12 weeks) and I'll be going away for 4 days. Would he be alright with just one visit per day from a petsitter? What is the best to do? Can't get my friend to look after him and I'm worried how will he cope.Thank you for any suggestions

What's the best way to do this? And is there anything we should know/do to get her ready?

She's 13 yo and in good health. We do plan to take her to the vet. What else?

Well, it's really only one light in the house. They sit in front of this tall floor lamp and just stare right through the shade....they look mesmerised by it and they don't move for ages!! Unless they're called for dinner....then they snap out of it and run for it. But we just think this is so strange....they look as though they are having light therapy and suffering from seasonal affective disorder. Has anyone else experienced this bizarre behaviour??? Or are our cats just very strange??

We have had two nests of kittens quite close together, one duo is now 10 months old, one duo is about six months old. The kittens mom and older sister are on the cat 'pill' and so far so good. My dad is freaking out now coz he thinks the kittens will be trying to have kittens. I thought since the boy kitten hasn't developed his furry marbles (for lack of a medical name) ànd is only six months old he won't be trying anything and so the girl kitten is perfectly safe. I also thought the ten month old wouldn't try anything with the six month old considering she is still tiny.

Sorry if this sounds muddled but I'd like to know:
* does a 6 month old kitten need the pill?
* will a 6 month old male try (and be able to do) anything with a 6 month old female?
* can the 10 month and the 6 month be left together safely for now?

(we are getting them fixed in a while)

Okay my cats name is Oreo and he is a fixed male cat. Any time i walk into the bathroom there are always these really tiny, like crumb sized specks of blood on the counter. We know they are from Oreo, but we don't know why what should we do?? What could it be??

My boyfriend and I just moved in together and got brand new leather furniture.. My cat scratched the furniture and it didn't go over well with the bf. We went to Petsmart and bought some nail protectors for her hind feet. They seem to work, but she chews one off and she scratched the furniture again.. My bf said he'll pay to get her hind feet declawed. (her front paws are declawed) Has anyone ever declawed the hind feet??

The vet advised because of his age it may be best to just enjoy him while he is around instead of putting him through rigorous treatments that he may not even survive for his age. His kidneys are working a 10% capacity. As you can imagine, I'm completely devastated. Has anyone gone through this and wondering in anyone's opinion "how much time" before the inevitable. The vet thinks not much more time. When will I know the time is right to end his suffering.

My cat Ramsey has begun to pee on our clothes on a regular basis. He has been fixed and he is about 12 years old. I have gotten a new dog thatis 4 years old in the past couple months. I know I have to pay lots of attention to my cat now because of the new dog and I have. I am about ready to have him locked in a cage if this doesn't stop. He would do this if the littler box would not be cleaned or he could not get it to, but now he is doing this all the time. I need tips from people who know NO SMART AZZ ANSWERS, I really am not in the mood to read them I am frustrated!

I got my cat from the humane society 3 months ago. About 2 weeks after having her we took her to the vet for a cough, turns out she had a resperatory infection and tape worms. She was treated for both (a shot for the worms) and the cough went away. Lately I've noticed her eyes are running with clear liquid (it looks like tears) and then last night I found the 2 tape worms. She is an indoor 8 month old kitten with no contact with other animals...and shes been treated for fleas. Is it possible the tape worms never went away?

My cat has always sucked my earlobe ever since he was a kitten, he does not like to do it to anyone else but me. He kneads my neck at the same time which kinda hurts but i dont mind.

Does anyone know why he does this? Does anyone elses cat do this?

She seems confused, and isn't getting into "position" to feed them. She keeps just moving around them like she doesn't know what to do. Now she has separated 2 from the other 2.. she lets me and my mom touch them. We don't know why she keeps separating them.

Anyone know anything about newborn kittens and the mommies?

I'm asking this, since Marshall is superneedy and wants to be petted 24/7, along with having full freedom, since we let him (and Wylie) have it on Monday. Is there a way, so I can get my writing and work done, when we both be satisfied? Wylie is needy, but have taken strident steps to go outside of the room and even to mine. Until both cats can get along, (for we're pushing them this weekend, before we make a decision soon, depending on how this weekend goes), they'll have partial freedom. The most I've given Marshall is 4-6 hours before I need downtime for myself. I know he loves me and wants to be with me. I love him and want to be with him too. But not all the time. I yelled at him yesterday, because he wanted more last night, for he had enough. (Yesterday morning he escaped into my room, since he was making racket and gave me bad sleep.) He was ticked and left me after my visit with him and Wylie in the room. But things are sort-of okay now, even when he cried this morning.

Constantly on the look out for fleas but have run out of Frontline. Cat is not scratching so OK at moment but I wonder with the mild weather has anyone else's cat picked up fleas because they're normally a summer problem.
