For me, it's how she plays...she's 7 years old and she still plays like a kitten.

There is a feral cat colony in the area that I live in. One of the cats, a 6-month old kitten (I'm approximating his age) is fairly friendly with me. Well, I noticed that he sits up, he holds up one of his paws. I took a closer look at the paw.
Basically, it doesnt appear as if he has any broken bones, but that his one of paw pads - one finger's pad so to speak - is torn. It looks a bit bloody. He is walking and running well, still, but it does not seem comfortable.
I am trying to find a way to get a this feral cat to a vet - he is feral and not really comfortable with humans. In the meantime - does anyone know how I can make sure it doesnt get infected?
Thank you.

I have 3, 7-month old male kittens who have been fighting recently to the point where they have scratched each other, not too badly but they pull fur and claws are drawn...they are due to be fixed next week...has this happened to anyone?..the vet thinks they might be fighhting for leadership/dominance.

my friend takes care of a couple of stray cats around his apartment and last night he was telling me about one of them with a seemingly torn inner eyelid. he said he was able to hold the cat down long enough to see that's what it was but now the cat is terrified of him and he doubts he'll have the chance to grab him again to take him to the vet. i haven't seen the cat myself so i have to assume he's right in his diagnosis. any ideas what it might be or what could cause it?

my kitten, sometimes will have these moments, were he acts like he is going to barf, but nothing comes out. He does not do it all the time, but what is wrong with him? We have not taken him to the vet, and we got him from a garage.

I have a 3 1/2 year old ragdoll female cat, that within the past few months has decided to start defecating on the carpet in the hallway outside of the bathroom that we keep the litter box. She still urinates in the box (have seen her use it) and the only way we can get her to defecate in the box is if my hubby physically puts her in there and stands there while she does it, other than that she will do it in the hallway. She has nothing physically wrong with her, no illness. We have cleaned the carpet with a steam vac with special cleaners that are suppose to get rid of "the scent" thinking this is why she kept doing it.. We clean the litter box every other day and have even tried different litter and a new litter box and nothing seems to be working. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how to get her to stop?? We have a daughter on the way in about a month and would hate to get rid of her over this because she is a great cat otherwise. Someone please help!

Seriously, we have to literally get out of the room. We're thinking he must have worms, but then again, he got dewormed already. He only eats dry food. Help....

1. The new (9-month-old, neutered) cat is currently in a room in th basement; our (one-year-old, very recently neutered) current cat doesn't have the right to go in the basement so far. Can we let him go in the basement and let the cats talk through the door? (Kiwi arrived just yesterday, is it too soon?)

If you have Yahoo! messenger can you PLEASE add me, and I will ask more questions, my ID is mguppies THANK YOU!

Anyone else's cat do that? She will do her business, scratch the heck out of the top of the litter box for 5 min, jumps out and starts meowing a few times. I think its really weird that she meows afterwards. She does it pretty much every time whether we are upstairs, downstairs, or sleeping at night. Its like she's trying to tell us she used the bathroom or something. We got her this summer, 4 yrs old. So I'm not sure how her previous owner treated her after using the litter box.

My cat is 3 years old. Are there age restrictions for getting cats declawed? Has anyone had any bad experiences with getting cats declawed when they were older?

She shakes when she is layen around and sometimes when she walks around. She seems to be healthy I think. She is small for her age. She doesnt have any worms in her poop. She eats fine and drinks lots of water. Im just worried that maybe something more is wrong.

I just moved into a new apt and my roommie and I both brought our cats. So no cat had time estab. a territory. Both are girls, which I know is a bad combo, but it's what we had. We kept them separated until both got adjusted and let them out. It started out ok but now it's turned into my cat chasing the other back into my roomie's room. Is there a way to stop this? How did you handle cats getting along? Any good websites or resources for help?
