my "boy" cat was on the deck about 5 hours ago, and something, attacked him, right now he's curled up on my sisters bed, and his fur on his face is a little see through, and a little redish, and his body seems bigger than it usually is, like puffy. and he's meowing alot, we can pet him but he acts like it hurts, on the deck there was feces of soemthing, but it was very wierd looking, and dry on one end but wet the rest. my mother thinks whoever attacked him squeezed him very hard and screwed up his intestines and forced feces out, but we don't know, but theres grey and white fur everywhere "my cats white by the way too"

O.K. so I got a 3 year old cat, and he is very laid back, when my other two (both are 5 years old) cats hiss at him, he doesn't really care. My other two cats however REFUSE to get along with him, and I'm at a loss, I want to be able to have both of their food dishes in the same room, but my first two cats won't even tolerate him, I NEED HELP!! How do I get them to like the new cat??

my 3yr old horsefiel tortoise has a slightly dry carapace, i've been to the vet and he said she's healthy , a few people have said that i should rub olive oil into her shell, but i'm not sure thats the right thing to do wouldn't it burn the carapace when she's under her basking light?is there something else that would get rid of the dryness

My cat acts very strange at random moments. He will look at something that he has seen a million times, such as my bed, and be very scared of it. He will look jump backwards or jump about 3 feet in the air on all fours and then repeat the process a few times. He really gets scared if I touch him or move he will totally spaz out. Could he have an eyesight problem, be retarded, or just be a weird little dude?

I just noticed that my cat has what appears to be a large scratch on her cornea. The weird thing is that she is showing no signs of pain--not even squinting. She does get in pretty dramatic fights with my other cat at times, but they have been separated for several weeks now. What could this be? I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning, but she has unusually large round eyes (she's from Greece).

My 8 week old kitten had a prolapsed rectum, 3 days ago the vet put it back, and stitched him, to hold it in place, but still allow him to pass stool.
But it's been 3 days and he hasn't had a bowel movement.

Is that common?
Or is there something else wrong?

He's staying at the vets.

And he IS eating.

They're hungry and wandering around howling and I'm at a loss. Even the cat who eats *anything* won't eat canned c/d...

Isidore is 13 weeks now and is still kneading me. I've heard they do this to their mothers for milk but Izzy hasn't been near a momma cat for 2 months! (don't start, long story) Is this normal?

I won't be scooping the litter box because I have help, but I am worried about possibly the parasite getting on my kittens fur. Does it have to get into your mouth and be digested to be spread to humans?

We recently got my five year old a kitten. She has been wanting one since she was 1 and we told her that by the time she goes into kindergarten if she still wants one and is able to help take care of it we would get her one. Well, she is going into kindergarten in August and we finally got her a kitten a couple of weeks ago. ANYWAYS my question is

My daughter wants to sleep with the kitten on her bed but I worry the kitten will sit on her face while my daughters sleeping and smother her. I hear about cats smothering children a lot.

ew.
She had pleanty of food and water in my bowls so its not like she was starving and resorted to that cuz she was hungry.
is this like a normal cat behavior that ive just never caught her in the act of before or does this mean something is horribly wrong with her?

She vomits a few times a week so that's not unusual. The vet said its a common problem with older cats (shes 10) and weve had her on a food that should suppodily help her vomit less for awhile but it really didnt do much.
Its def not hair balls. Cuz there's no hair in the vomit ever. It's bits on undigested food still in the shape it goes down in.

Having a delicate tummy i an understand
but her wanting to eat her own vomit really confuses me a lot

I live in an apartment complex. A neighbor took in a stray cat and it gave birth to 6 kittens... but they let them out all the time. In fact, the mom and all six kittens are playing in a bush infront of my patio right now. I worked for petco for a long time and have sat through a bunch of lectures on how susceptible cats are to disease and why you shouldn't let your cat outdoors. Especially with teh kittens, I am worried about what people might do to them as they are not obviously claimed (no collars or anything). I don't know of anyone who will take them- maybe a shelter?? But would calling the shelter be offensive to these neighbors? I'm not sure what to do.

I have three 3 1/2 week old kittens whose mom had to be put to sleep 4 days ago because of an injury. I have been feeding them KMR (milk replacer) from the vet, should I introduce kitten mush yet? How exactly do I make it, just mix dry kitten food with KMR? Is there anything special I should be doing?
They are sooo cute!! Also, there is a little one, the runt of the litter. Do you think it will make it?
