My cat did this to me and I totally freaked until my friend told me that it was because he loved me. Is it true??

My cat just started going into heat a month ago. Right after, she kept peeing on things, especially if there was something left on the floor like a jacket or clothes or anything. I always keep the litter box very clean and shes always used it before. I just got her spayed the other day and brought her back home. Now she is worse than ever. I don't know why she is doing it and how to get her to go back into the litter box. I don't want to have to get rid of her because she is really the sweetest cat otherwise. What should I do?

I noticed that this was a very common question, I asked my professor (a vet) about it and he said that if the spots stay and the cat is mature then it is not a problem. It is very common fo cats to get speckled membranes. But if tey appear and disappear then it's time to go to the vet, could be cancer!! Just thought I'd lt everyone know :)

I am getting out of the army in 2 weeks and am moving across the country. I cannot take my 2 kitties with me and need to find them a good home. I got them about a year ago and at the time did not know that i would be getting out of the military so soon and would have to move. I absolutely do NOT want to take them to a shelter but its getting to the point where i dont have a choice. i am going to be living with my family (some of whom are allergic to cats) and this is why i cannot keep them. it breaks my heart that i have to give them up but i have no other choice. all my friends are either already in iraq or getting ready to go back, so they cannot take them either. If anyone wants or knows someone who wants 2 kitties please let me know and i have all paperwork proving tests, neutering, and shots are up to date. I am willing to meet up with anyone who is willing to take them in . Im not looking for any $, just want them to have a good home with someone who loves them as much as i do.

My kittens like to lay on top of my turtles tank right underneath his heating UV light...I don't want them to get burned but everything I have tried to do to discourage it hasnt worked. When i spray them w/ a bottle they look at me like 'is this suppose 2 scare me?' - no response. They actually love tin foil although i have read cats hate it. My kittens won't listen to me and I don't know how to stop them from doing things like this. Can someone please help me? btw they are 4 months old

All right. My cat looks like Yoda and I want to dye her a greenish colour this Halloween. I do not, of course, desire to harm my cat. I know that any dye I put on her would be ingested through licking.

My idea was to carefully paint her with a green-koolaid-and-water mixture. (I'll check with the vet first if I decide to do this.)

Does anyone know of any reason that that would be harmful? Do they have a better idea? Should I give up? Am I a horrid person?

I want a cat that will lay down with me and comfort me when I'm feeling down. I don't want it to aggravate me either like my sister's cat does by nibbling my toes and refusing to leave, but not necessarily be aloof and independent. My mom is concerned about shedding, and I've read that both breeds shed relatively little. I'm more concerned about the personality of the cat itself. What are each like? Any habits or quirks of your precious kitties will be appreciated if shared. ^_^

Okay well the kitten is finally in my house. Has been for about a few weeks. The problem I'm having is that my other kitten goes and bites her on the neck. But she seems to want to go out of my room where my other kitten is waiting. I don't know how to make my other kitten stop bitting my stray cat. I don't want my stray kitten to alwaysbe locked in my room. So any help would be wonderful.

I have an outside cat. I had to take her to the vet about a month ago and they said she had mites which could be caused from damp bedding. I have since cleaned everything out of her cathouse. Does anyone have any suggestions to something that I can put in her house for her to lay on to provide some warmth that won't get damp or cause me the same problems I had before?

I mean, can they start off solid white, then develop color points over a period of time? Does it work that way?

Our cat is 11 years old. She has never had a health problem but recently, she is literally eating the fur off of her legs. She looks terrible but is very vibrant. We use organic laundry soap on her bedding but had one stint of using another brand laundry soap for her blanket she lays on. We wash here blanket every month so this turned out to be no factor. We feed her Purina One Total.
Although she hates it, my wife bathes our cat once every three months and has been doing so since she got her. I would like to know what is happening with her? What can we do?

My cat just had bladder stones removed and has been put on a diet of Hill's Prescription Diet c/d and it is VERY expensive for us. Does anyone know of a cat food that we can use that will be just as good but is cheaper?

My roomate has a 7 year old male cat. I have a 14 year old female cat. They got along great when we first moved in. Then we adopted a kitten. She is about 4 months old now. My roomates cat was the sweetest guy. Never turned cross. Just recently he has been so tempermental. He growls, swats and bites us when we pet him or sometimes when we come near him. He is especially sensitive with his tail and back now. I am not sure if he is hurting or just going through some "issues". Once in awhile he will play with the kitten nicely. It's so cute. But usually he attacks her (not playing) when she walks by him. We have givin him time to adjust and we give him special attention. We are stumped of what to do?? What can we do?

I admit, they are not the cutest but I wouldn't mind having one as a pet since I read that they are a friendly breed.

one of my cats died, so I wnet to the pound to get a new one and ended up with a 7 month old female, at first it seemed okay but now the older cat hates her with a passion and I think its because she is too agressive for the older cat, plus on top of that the new kitty got the old cat sick, its going really bad as the new kitty wants to sleep with us at night but I have to seperate them because of her agreesiveness and that the other one is sick and does not want anything to do with her....Please HELP!!!
