I have two kittens who are sisters of 5 months old. One of them has started to do weird stuff like rubbing herself on the walls and screaming like a baby asking for her mama!! Doctor said they can be neuterlized by the age of 1 year so I kinda hesitate thinking that she might me on heat already until I saw her yesterday and her sister who was biting her on her butt and doing like if she would be a male cat trying to mount her. Scary picture!
Is this a normal behaviour for 5 months old kittens? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

I found a cat outside 2 weeks ago and I really want to keep it. My mom said we could as long as no one asked about a missing cat. But if no one has asked for it yet, will they ever????

I hope not.

We have 3 cats, and our youngest (3 y/o) had a terrible bout of diarrhea 2 months ago. She had it all over the house. We took her to the vet, and he gave us meds and her problem cleared up. Unfortunately, she stopped using the litter box (both poop and and pee). She was doing her business in our bed, on the carpeting, and in window sills. Took her back to the vet, and he gave us special food and more anitbiotics. Same problem. We changed her litter, as well as the box. Now we just keep her locked up in our bathroom. We don't know what to do with her. She's apparently completely healthy. Her poop goes between hard and soft, but not diarrhea. What now? We can't lock her up forever :(

I have 2 cats, one almost a year old and the other just over 5 months. They have separate food dishes, but frequently eat from either dish. Right now, both cats are eating kitten food. However, I would like to start feeding my older cat more "adult" cat food and not so much of the kitten chow. Any advice on how to manage this with two cats? Will it be ok for both to eat the adult food, even though the younger cat still needs a lot of the nutrition provided by kitten chow? Should I mix both bowls with 2 types of food?

Not sure what it is, seems like it just sticks there. It doesn't run, and you clean it and it comes back. any thoughts?

I had this adult cat for three years now. He was sitting on our front porch when we found him. He is already nudered. Now we have trained him to use kitty litter, but he eats to much [14 pounds] and he likes to go outside at night when its 5 deg. How do I teach him to stay in at night and cut down?

My cat is five and we've just moved house, he's started spraying in just one spot on the wall near the door. He had the 'op' four years ago so what else can i do?

He is almost one year old and an alpha kitty. He is always content and into some kind of trouble or another. I have a bamboo tree in the house, is this a toxic plant for cats? He is acting OK other than the twitching. I am worried about "Little Pus".

Im back...about a week ago my cat had one kitten. I asked if that was ok. Well she seems to be doing fine, feeding her one baby, is eating and drinking like she should. Now my question to all of you is her nose and gums seem to be pale. Is this ok or is this a sign of a "toxic" cat. Remember I cant afford a trip to the vet and I have called the spca and humane society and they have done all they can.

Yeah.. I managed to inject myself with painkiller meant for my kittens.. don't ask how it happened- i'm a flid.
but basically i'm sure no pain killer for cats would be toxic for humans or anything but just wanted to check.. Anyone have such knowledge? It doesn't say what type it is but if anyone knows the generally prescribed one or something? any advice?

before I get all the irresponsible/bad owner comments, we want her to have kittens and want the kittens!! She has now gone missing for last 48 hours and I am very worried, she has never gone before. Presuming she has mated, is this disappearance normal??? And if so when can we expect her back? She is one year old.

I've had these two cats for over two years and they've always been indoor cats. One of them got brought into the humane society when she was about 1.5 years old and the other one spent the first 6 months of her life in a cage. I think the first one lived outside for the first part of her life, but the other one has never been outside.

We live in a really small 1 BR apartment, and I know both of them want to go outside. We're kind-of in the back of the complex, there's lots of woods back here, and there's a parking lot and small road people drive back and forth on pretty frequently. There's also a TON of stray cats that hang out by the dumpsters.

Do you all think that if I let them go outside they would be okay? Would they avoid the cars and the other cats, and would they be able to find their way back to our apartment?

I'm doing a science fair experiment & need more data. Observe your cat playing & washing. Which paw does it use most?


I also need your cat's name, please :)

We have a siamese cat (7 yrs., old) that has to be sedated ta' trim her nails (gets to rowdy). Vet's charge an "arm and a leg", for the procedure annnnnd was hopin' that someone could give me some sound advice on an over-the-counter medicine (safe for the cat), that would assist me in doin' the trimmin' myself. I've heard that St. Josephs Baby Aspirin works but to reiterate, I need ta' know from all ya' cat owners & lovers : ), if there is something that is SAFE to use for the cat. Pre-thanks are in order...

My cat threw up what looked to be a BIG hairball. I've never seen one so I'm not sure if it's normal. I know they have hairball food out. But he is only 8mths old and all the food say's to wait to take him off kitty food til he's a yr old. Is he ok? Is this just something cats do?

I have a neutered male cat that is 9 years old. He never "sprays" in the house, until I got my kittens. They are 6 months old (male and female) and I just had them spayed and neutered. My older cat (Rox), plays with and gets along with them, but has suddenly started "marking" his territory again by spraying in the house, especially my daughter's bedroom. Will he stop this once the kittens have been around a little longer? (I've had them 3 months).
He is even protective of them outside, so why is he feeling jealous and spraying! I really don't want to punish him, he is the "alpha" cat of the house, but what should I do?

Hi, I have 2 adults cats male 2 yrs, and female calico 4 yrs; recently inherited the family's other female calico 10; It's been about 1 week. the male is more curious. The 10 yr old, we keep seperate from the other cats for awhile, I know it takes about 2-3 weeks, especially being older. The older one actually took to the move quite nicely. It's just interacting with the cats.The screen door we can't do because we rent. do you have other suggestions. I cant give up because it's my husbands mothers cat she passed 2 weeks ago. Thank you for any ideas
