Cats - January 2007

Just a random thought. I was watching my house cat assume her normal perch on the edge of my bed last night when I considered whether or not it was a "protective" position. My dog used to sleep in the same place and he definetly went into protection mode while I slept. I know that wild cats are more solotairy animals than dogs- with their pack mentality- yet I know that certain great cats do hunt and live in packs, for example lions. Would house cats have any of the similar pack mentality with their owners that dogs do? I wonder if there are any stories of normal house cats attacking people in "protection" of their owners?

Both of my cats LOVE the feline Greenies snacks . I know they are supposed to be good for their teeth,& more nutritional than other snacks. Also why are they so expensive???

We adopted a pair of 5-month old boy kittens (fixed) last week. One is already affectionate and playfull but the other hisses at me and freaks out at my husband (hissing & clawing & biting). I don't want to just ignore him as I want him to get used to us - but he doesn't seem to want to be touched at all. He was ok the first few days we had him - but all of the sudden he has turned into a little monster. How do I deal with this?

My roomate just bought a cat and it meows really loud and annoys me and the other roomate in the house. Other than a muzzle (kidding) what are some ways in which I can help teach the cat not to meow?

am happy to use anything safe, easily applied and wouldn't take too long to wear off, in case it is a disaster!
She is so obvious to the other cats that she has no chance to be a 'real' cat. She may look like a princess but she is a tiger!

He vomits his food about once a week after eating. I'm guessing from hairballs but can this be helped or even prevented?

My boyfriends cat is about 16. She's was sick really bad with diarrhea for a couple of months and then we brought her to the Vet where they put her on a special diet. She was doing so much better. She loved the food and would be so excited when you feed her. Then my boyfriends Dad got sick and passed away, and ever since then she's been sick again, but this time, she just doesn't want to eat as much. She nibbles at the food, and now she is really weak. I'm really scared she's not going to recover this time and I can't see my boyfriend go through another major loss. I was hoping someone could tell me what to do.

I have to add another note. I have a Chihuahua and we rescued a kitten together. When I first moved in with my Chihuahua, his cat was not happy but soon adapted and no longer had a problem with her. But when we rescued the kitten at 3 weeks that's just about when she started to get sick. We've had the kitten for 7 months now, so we can't get rid of him now. What should I do?

At random times when my cat's asleep, he'll start freaking out, like twitching violently, then even jumping up in the air while completely spazzing out, throwing his head around, fur bristling, then runs like hell out of the room. Why does he do this?

My cat cries in pain when I pick her up. She doesn't sound upset, just in pain. She is 11 years old.

I knew a cat once who would jump into your arms on command. I'd love for my cat to do that. She already runs to greet me when I get home and stretches up against my leg to say hello.
A few months ago I started saying "up" every time I see her jump, but she still isn't associating the word with the action.
Does anyone know how to train a cat to jump into my arms on command?
