Cats - January 2007

I play with her and she will spontanously jump on my lap, but she always falls asleep in my roommate's lap. I want her to sleep with me, but she'll only come in for a few minutes and then she goes out to the living room. How do you know if your cat likes you...should they always want to spend time with you? (I've only ever had dogs...this is my first cat, and I love her so much already, and I want her to feel the same!)

Help! Advise needed! My cat got attacked badly!

My cat, whom is still young, got attacked by three dogs, and is injured terribly. It pains me to even go on about the details. Right now her one of her spine is fractured and the other dislocated.

She's in deep pain, and is taking medication from the vet. I wonder how long it will recover. It might take months or years. Right now it can't walk at all. It's just lying there. According to the vet, going for operation might cost thousands and i am not sure if i have the money.

I'm thinking about putting it to sleep because its suffering so much. But i'm afraid that i might prevent her from getting to recover. I won't mind if she walks with a limp but at least hopefully it will feel no more pain one day.

Someone please help me. Tell me what to do.

She has a nice bed and a million other places to choose from. Why does she choose this one?

I recently took in a new cat. She was oviously lost or abandend. Declawed and I would assume spayed. I am not sure of the exact age but she does not seem that old. She is a great cat but I am very worried. She vomits everyday. It looks like she vomits up all her food and it has a little bit of hair in it. No blood. I have changed her food, and even tried the indoor formula. I have tried to make an appointment with the vet but, none have openings until February or they are not taking new patients. Until I can get to a vet, does anyone have any idea what it might be or have any suggestions as to what I might do in the meantime? She doesnt seem like she is in any pain, Her litterbox habits are normal, I can't figure what the problem could be.

My cat Mimi is two years old now. She arrived to my home when she was 6 months. She was toilet trained and pretty good in the past. We give her downstairs for her room.

Just a few months ago, I moved my office downstairs, she started to pood on the carpet. Once she pooded, she knows I will be mad about this. She hide somewhere for a day without eating and drinking. After a while, she thought I might be forgetting it. She meow to me to ask for food again.

After our Christmas holiday absence, she pee on my daughter's loftbed and the next day she poo on my son's bed. Now she's kind of urgly cat ever to do as many bad things as possible and hide herself under a sink for a day, where we couldn't reach her.

The made me so mad every time. My husband alwasy asks me to give her away asap. She has a very nice litterbox with lid. I bought her warm bed and cat condo. She's no longer cute as before. I have no idea what to do about her. Please help me to turn Mimi back to be the nice cat.

I've been seeing this for about a month. It all started ever since I set up the Xmas tree and it looked like my cat's were eating the white tree curtain that covers the base of the tree. It's not worms. Just looks as if their poop is covered in cotton. Could this be a fungus or something? Or do I not scoop it often enough?(If this is the problem I will totally start scooping more frequently. However, I own businesses and it is very hard, my fiance hasn't scooped their poop in 7 months. Her help could really be appreciated though. You know how women are with disgusting things, so I took up the chore.)

But could my cats be sick or something. They have all their shots. Last time they went was back in November. I have to toxedo cats. 7 months old.

Ever Clean Extra Strength Premium Clumping Cat Litter claims to be 99.9% dust free but it puts out more dust than most other brands I have used. It ticks me off that I paid a premium price for that brand. I am still looking for a brand of clumping litter that produces very little dust.

Im a guy, I have had my cat for about 7 years since she was a kitten. She hates to be on my lap(I can pick her up and put her there but she jumps down after about 30 secs) but every time I have a girl over she will jump on their laps by herself and go to sleep. She only likes to lay on my feet or about 3 feet away from me. I know she likes me because she follows me around and loves to be pet. But what is it with only wanting to be held by girls?

Abby, my kitty, is 2 years old and she is mean. She hisses when she doesnt get her way and she actually hits other people. She is nice around me and my husband, but thats it. We want to get another cat and we are not sure if we should get a female or male. How long should we give Abby to get used to another cat. I was told about 2 weeks. What are some things that we can do to let her know that we love her just as much. I dont want her to feel unloved. Thank you much :)

For the past year my cat has been peeing on my bed weekly. I used to live in an apartment but my dad had a big surgery and needed me to move back home. So now i have a room in his house that I share with two cats. I wish I could let them roam around the rest of the house but my dad has four big dogs that look at my cats like lunch. Anyhow at first I thought the problem was that their litter box was clean enough so I have been cleaning it like crazy. Then I thought it was because I havent been spending enough time with them. So I spend a lot of time with them giving them a lot of attention. Unfortunately that hasnt worked either. My cats are still taking turns peeing on my bed. Someone at work said it might be because I have a feather comforter and it makes it so they can knead it and want to pee there. Has anyone else had this problem and maybe an answer. Im losing my mind and I cant see myself getting rid of my kitties.

My adult neutered cat puts a piece of fleece blanket in his mouth and starts "humping" it. He only started doing that we adopted a six-month old fixed female kitten as a playmate for him. The blanket came with her.

I don't know why but whenever I am with my cat I feel really happy.
I act really stupid and say stupid things and hug and kiss my kitten and kiss him on the head and the nose and the lips.

Even though I am a guy I think there is something wrong with me?

I recently acquired two 6 month old kittens, and they are adapting very well to our environment that already has 3 dogs. My question is why does one of the kittens groom the dogs? She is always licking their heads, and the dogs don't seem to mind one bit.

My cat died last night. My parents found the body cat next to our house. The cat is very possibly our cat. Cause our cat hasn't return home today night. We are betting that the cat we found was our cat who was ran over by a car. But my dad says that the cat they buried was a slightly different color, and didn't look exactly like our cat. Could it be possible that this is another cat? But its too coincidence to not be my cat. Cause my cat isn't coming back.

I was wondering if it is possible that the pound visited my town and caught some loose pets. Do pounds visit towns sometimes?

I had a cat named Winnie who I loved and cared for. I had her almost two years. Today, I came back from Petsmrt to get her a toy, and she was limp and barely breathing. I immediatly called the vet and began to collect her cage. When I went to get her, she was dead. Now I can't stop crying everytime I think of her...what are some ways to console my sadness??
