Cats - February 2007

Mitzy has recently been split up from her brother as he became very messy around the house. Mitzy is moulting like mad and scratching. We have also noticed that there is a small bald spot on the top of her head. Also she came in from the garden and had a chunk of hair missing from her back and it was bleeding. I have since bathed this with salt water. Do you think it could be stress and that I need to get her some flea drops? I would be grateful for any help. Thank you.

I found a cat 2 years ago and she was pregant I kept her and kept one of her babies too.Now after getting them both fixed I would think they would be real close but they dont seem too.I wondered if mother/daughter cats know anything by sense of smell or if its just another cat to them when they grow up?/ Thanks

My kitten follows me around everywhere when I'm in. She hates being left home alone. Every time when I am about to go out, she cries by the door. Can I take her out wherever I go?

basically 3 things. 1) Flower Remedies for the chasing the other cat thing PLUS this with the next point, them all being out together. 2) having lovely sunshine and going outside with all the cats (some of them only seem to want to go out when it is warm and when we are outside). 3) only cuddling the cat when he wants love, and makig sure I stop stroking him before he is ready for the cuddle to end. Resulting in a wonderful friendly cuddly cat in JUST 2 DAYS! purring his head off and woke me up this morning by purring in my face and stroking my nose!

Thank you all for your advice, I think he was bored and since going out lots at the weekend he is showing more inclination to go outside again (an hour this morning but its snowed so he is in now again) I also now realise I was still trying to play with him as I did when he was a kitten but now he is growing up he is not always wanting to play (at least not with toys since he has caught a real animal!) THANK YOU ALL

I was negligent in reporting in my answer that my vet said, "I don't think it is a problem or anything serious." I was insulted by the last answer that implied that I was negligent in the health care of my cat. I understand how that could be misconstrued. I do not understand why some one would be so focused on hurting the feelings of someone who cares enough about a cat to ask a serious question in an open forum. My vet did not have a satisfactory answer for me over the past few years of this symptom and I needed help. This seemed like a good venue for information. I was looking for some way to respond to the last responder and let it be known that I do properly care for and love my cat and have always provided responsible health care on a regular basis for all of my cats.

Is there a way to respond to this person with the above answer to my question regarding the raised black spots on my cat's gum line which have been multiplying for about two years?

TY 2 those who help

we got him fixed recently and he has been into the doctor for an infection over his eye. he was treated for tape worms. they said he was a tom cat and he was very healthy. he looked good then, but about a month later he started licking himself a lot and pulling out his fur. i have been picking up his food at 7:00 p.m. and working him out with a string attached to a stick. it's in patched too. i brush him with a flea comb and he might have 2 or 3 a day, but hes outside a lot. what do you think?

I have 2 unfixed male kitties Stoli(9months) Stealthi (6 months). They both have boners all the time. They sit there and like their boners in the middle of the room. It is so gross. Stoli and Stealthi have recently started mounting each other. THey will hold the other by neck and hump him til he cums. We have 3 females that the males won't even go near. Will getting them fixed correct this? Stoli is set to be fixed Feb 26th. I have been against doing this. He has never sprayed and always been calm and sweet. I am really worried he will change when I get this done.

I just found out my 18yo cat Marcus has cancer. He stopped eating 3 days ago. I read in another question that when a cat stops eating for more than 2 or 3 days, he is likely to get hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver syndrome). We are desperately trying to get him to eat something, but we know that even if he starts eating again, he will still have to battle the lipidosis, and then the cancer. We think he is not going to be around much longer. (Does catnip work as an appetite stimulant like marijuana for humans?)

So the question is, what can we do to make him more comfortable in his final days?

And before you ask, yes, if he starts acting like he is in pain, then we will bring him to the vet and put him out of his misery, as hard as that will be. Right now he is resting a lot, drinking some water, and is very weak. He hasn't been complaining a lot though. He is normally a very vocal guy, so I think we'll know when it is time. :-(

I have an indoor cat with an open sore on the base of his tail. It has scabbed up before but continues to be a wet,open sore. Is there anything over the counter that I can use first without taking the cat to the vet? Something that he can ingest without harming him (because he will lick himself after I apply it). Thank you.

My daughter posted a comment recently about a mean evil cat we have who has no reason to be mean. We raised her from 4 weeks old and gave her a lot of love and attention. Problem is , she is mean with EVERYONE. The other day my mother-in-law looked at her (didnt touch her, just LOOKED at her) and she litterally flew onto her and attacked her face. She always goes for the face. It is getting bad and dangerous. She is SO cute too! And SOMETIME she is sweet. And when she is sweet she is REALLY sweet but will turn on you in a heartbeat with no warning. I dont want to take her to the pound because no one in their right mind is going to adopt her. She will most likely be put to sleep. (maybe it is best but it is sad because she's do darn cute.)

I took my cat to the vet a couple of moths ago and she said he needed to have a tooth pulled. I don't exactly have extra funds right now so we havent gotten it done. But now I think his tooth is bugging him tonight cause he is hiding under the bed and moewing like crazy. I have done all the typical things to see what is wrong and that the only thing I can come up with is a toothache (he wont let me near his mouth). Any suggestions on how to help my cat from the pain of a toothache?

She does it when approaching you, when rubbing her and will sometimes bend her front legs down to put her bottom higher in the air! This is extremely gross and annoying and is giving too much of an anatomy lesson to my kids!!! Help!

Just wondering if anyone has had this situation and what you and your vet did to treat. My cat is having problems after being spayed. She has puss coming out of the incision site. I took her to emergency vet yesterday (because my vet is closed) and they gave her an antibiotic and told me to check back with my vet Mon. morning. I am worried and would like any input. Please serious answers only.

I have a 4month old kitten who has been experiencing diarrhea for about 2 weeks on and off. I switched her to solely dry food for sensitive stomachs, it's lamb & rice formula. She's been on it for about a week. Tonight she was in her box, I was watching and waiting for her to finish so that I could investigate & make sure it was solid. When I picked her up to make sure she didn't have poop all over her feet I found bright red blood coming out of her anus. I also noticed she was sort of squitting when she was going. Aside from this she's been playful, affectionate, hungry and acting totally normal. She was wormed before I got her from an animal adoption agency and was also vaccinated.

It's a daily occurance. We even tried putting a brand new couch there instead but he just kept on spraying in her spot... Why would he do this?

I have 2 kitties and both of them are potty trained. They both have a kitty litter box and have used it previous times but lately one of them is been doing her bussines on my moms bed and I dont understand because the other one is still using the box.

2 days ago and her stitches were bothering her. She pulled most of them out and theres only one left. She was spayed Friday afternoon and it is now Monday night. She seems to be in pain.... Its 10:30 pm... should I call a vet as an emergency call? Is this normal? What can I do? The wound is not open, but my husband and I believe its only being held together by a scab. What should we do??
