My cat has started urinating on everything. He even did this to my daughter (she is 21, not a child). The other cats smell the spots that he has urinated on and are following suit. Not sure if he is marking his territory or not. Any suggestions? The cats are staying so don't even mention getting rid of them!

lately my cat wont come near me. he was always very affectionate before. even slept on my chest at night. now he doesnt even want me to pet him. the behavioural change is only directed at me. my husband and son can still pet him. why is he acting this way. there is a chance that i could be pregnant. i havent taken a test but im wondering if the cat knows. could this be the cause of his strange behaviour. has anyone had a similar experience

I have had to take over the care and maintence of a kitten/small cat which was originally given to My next door neighbour's Grand-children. They were feeding it boiled rice and corn flakes in milk. It was left outside in the cold (I 'savlaged' it during a thunderstorm) in a cardboard box with a string around "It's" neck.The thing seems to be quite happy with Me. I have not given "It" a name yet because I had no intention or keeping "It'. The trouble is that the children have returned to Their parents (not cat owners) and I have been left holding the bag, so to speak. "It" is a black and white female and seems to be growing after every meal. I just give "It" (I really will have to give "It" a name, won't I?) water instead of milk and table scraps (mince, sausage, steak and canned sardines etc.). The thing is about 10 inches long (nose to base of the tail) and would appear to be healthy enough, albeit it always seems to be hungry. It has a ball to play with. What do I need to know?

I just bought one for my 2 kitties today. The smarter one is tempted to chase it, but is more of an observer. The other, who is a little skittish, LOVES it. She's a little emotionally unbalanced. I've used it on and off a few times tonight. Now it's her bedtime and she's laying on the floor, alert, waiting for that light to come back. (Reminds me of the Brady Bunch episode with the fake flying saucer). Is playing with the laser with them mean?? Too confusing for them?

(And don't tell me not to point it at their eyes...duh)

My 13 y/o neutered male cat started peeing on everything about 2 years ago & has ruined DVDs, CDs, books...I finally had to tape plastic bags to my cabinets & bookcases but he even pees on those. I had him to the vet for an exam & was informed that there was nothing wrong with him, other than the fact that he "might" suffer from anxiety, being that I had recently begun taking night classes & he was "upset" by my being gone. He was prescribed liquid Paxil but refuses to eat any food that I mix it in to & I stopped squirting it into his mouth because the long, thick strands of saliva hanging from the corners of his mouth made him look like "Cujo." I do have another (neutered) male cat (6) but "Mr. Pee-Pee Puss" didn't start peeing on everything until 3 years after I brought the other cat home. I do not play favourites & give each equal "Momma & Kitty" time. The vet says my cat is healthy, but I'm running out of patience & plastic trash bags. What can I do to stop this behaviour?

my kitten is otherwise healthy & active, but is eating less and less recenly. he has only ever eaten dry food that I toss at him one piece at a time so that he can play with it and bat it around. i cannot afford to feed him all wet food.

also, when i feed him his mix of wet and dry food, he eats a few bites and goes away, but never comes back. He will let it sit there all day until I dump it out and get him a new bowl. He is really easily distracted from his food, and if he hears a noise, he just walks away and the whole bowl is wasted.

I go back to school next week and I am afraid he will not eat all day when I am not here to make him fresh food and toss dry food at him. Sometimes I have 10-12 hour days at school, which is too long for him not to eat. He didn't eat anything when we were gone all day for Christmas. What can I do to get him eating on his own? He just seems to be getting worse, eating less and requiring more and more effort to get him to eat.

He was adopted from a shelter and is in perfect health. But everynight he tries to suckle my neck. It is frustrating and has me a little worried. Is there anything wrong or is this normal? Can I stop it? Thanks for help!

My cat, who has never been sick like this, started throwing up Sunday night. A trip to the vet showed some gastric irritation. She said it could be an obstruction, gastritis, or pancreatitis. He was worse Monday night--puking up bile-colored water, not holding anything down. Now he has diarrhea despite having received sub-q liquids at the vet's today. Is the diarrhea normal with the sub-q? We will probably return to vet in the morning.

I just picked up my kitten tonight from a friend who found him. He's roughly about 4 weeks old. VERY, VERY young. It seems he has a cold, eyes are very watery and sneezing. Both of his front paws are scraped. Despite this, he is unbelievably friendly! Absolutely the WARMEST and GREATEST kitten I've ever come into contact with. What do I do with him before morning when I take him to the vet?? How can I make him comfortable? What do I feed him? I just need some basic answers here. He looks sickly and I'm scared.

We recently got a cat from the local humain society. Everything is going great and she is very loving.
Our concern is that all throughout the night she will constantly meow. It was cute at first, but now it is tiring!
We have tried everything, it seems. We have tried feeding her before bed. giving her toys to play with. Trying to keep her awake throughout the day.
My husband and I are tired! We chose a cat because it wasn't as needy.
How do we make her stop meowing?

I recently rescued a stray cat from certain death in the horrible neighborhood where I teach. I am presently keeping him separated from my cats, and plan to have him neutered later this month, before I find a home for him.
He had fleas (I treated him with advantage) and he also has worms, which I plan to take care of this weekend.

My question is this:

Every day when I go into the room where he's staying to give him water, food and scoop out his litter box, I notice that the towel where he has been sleeping has these little things on it that look like sesame seeds. They do not appear to be alive or moving, but I'm wondering what they could be.

I didn't see many dead fleas fall off of him after the advantage treatment. Could these be the eggs? I know what flea dirt looks like and altough I did see a lot of that at first, this is something completely different. Any thoughts?

Both of our cats have what seems like cracks in their nose. I don't think its from playing. Could it be something else? Sickness?
