My cat is about 7 or 8 months old. She has a big belly and when you look from the top and the sides, it seems round. Her nipples got larger and look like filled with milk! But I'm not sure if she is really pregnant or not!! I don't want to take her to the vet because I am afraid that they will give her an abortion... I need help! How can I tell for sure!! And can you give me websites with pictures of pregnant cats so I can tell for myself? Thanks for your answers...

NOTE: THIS IS A SERIOUS QUESTION AND ONLY SERIOUS AND INFORMATIVE ANSWERS WILL BE APPRECIATED.

She is 6 weeks old, and very weak. She also has a runny nose, and watery eyes. I am not sure what I should do. We are also trying to wein her right now as well, because her mother has already dried up, but she is not eating. I got her a bottle and formula today, but she is not taking that either. What should I do?

Well I went to mom's friend's house, and there are these outdoor 'stray' cats. Then I saw there was one kitten I think only 2 weeks old, eyes wide open, ears up and then TINY baby teeth, which appeared to have come in very recently,. His tongue was kinda sticking out becasue his teeth arent
big yet. He had no siblings and his mom wasn't there often at all, although I gave her the kitten when she came so she could nurse him.

He is so young I had to help him pee, and he was barely walking.. he could walk but not fast or far, and I saw mom cat pick him up by the scruff

So I named him Pablo and I'd like to adopt him. He is currently where I visited him, and he is sleeping under the grill to be protected from the rain.

Can I tamke him to the vets now, can I feed him KMR instead, what is the chance he has Feline Aids or anything like that any signs? , And how old is he really?

Please tell me all of your info and how to raise him. BTW the other strays will get spayed/neutered..

My family and I have adopted this obese, elderly cat that showed up at our house. It is usually a very friendly cat, but today she hasn't been feeling too well. Her eyes look kind of droopy, and she has stayed by her water bowl the whole day, but she won't drink any. She also hasn't eaten very much, which is rare because she is usually always begging for food. What should I do?

Whenever i scratch my cats back right next to its tail, it licks it paws, and tops when you stop scratching. Is this normal for a cat?

She's about one year old and probably sick(because she keeps almost vomiting). I'm a HUGE animal lover and I'm already half in love with her. Also, she's really thin. I'm only 15 years old but I should be getting a job soon. I already have one cat. My parents hate animals and probably won't help at all but I think I can manage. What should I do?

I started feeding my cat wet food awhile ago to help cure him from throwing up all the time. He got used to it real fast and now begs and sits 24/7 next to his food bowl and basically harrasses me until I give him some wet food even though he won't touch a full bowl of dry food in the next room. Then an hour or so later he's back at it again. What can I do about this? Please help ... he's meowing nonstop and bugging the sh*t out of me!

My cat, whom recently adopted ME as it's owner is very territorial and is very protective of our big backyard (it's a heaven for kitty cats) and he is always fighting with a big orange cat next door. Problem is...my kitty got declawed (not by me!) and he doesn't fair so well in the fights (I had to take him to the vet where he got 7 stitches in his head). Total Cost: $450, but having him in my life...priceless

I just adopted her from PetsMart through the Last Chance Society and I'm just a bit worried about her incision when she got neutered. It's a tad bit crusty, and she's constantly wanting to lick it. It doesn't look infected but if it starts to get that way, how will I know before it gets really bad?

A while ago, I took my cat to the vet for a regular check-up/injections, and the vet said that he was a bit "puddingy".

Have you been to the vets, and had your cat described in such a way?

I've had MacGyver (male, persian/sphynx) for about a year and 2 months, and he is not much older than that. He is the most well behaved cat I have ever seen or heard of. He pretty muc acts like a dog, ie...comes on command, fetches, etc...

Well here lies the problem. In the past three days he hasn't been using his litter box. He pees and poops on couches and chairs. (pooped on 1 couch and peed on 2 chairs) He doesn't seem sick or anything and he hasn't been through any unusual stress or changes. Is this a common problem and how can it be solved.

Thank you for your help.

I have 2 kittens brother and sister, just over 5 mnths old. The female has just come into heat but the vet says I cant have them neutered until they are 6 mnths old which is 2 wks away. I do I stop them mating without having toshut them up in seperate rooms for 2 wks whihc isn't practical. Do male kittens come into heat later than females or does it vary?

Any ideas?

I have a 3 year old Wirehair. She has been living with us for about a year now, and the thing is shes 55% out door, and 45% indoor cat ( indoor meaning garage). She is very comfortable out side because she KNOWS it's her territory. She knows who’s supposed to be in our garage, and how my car looks like so when I pull up she’s waiting by the door. She was a stray and I love her so much. I can't stand being away from her. But now were moving. And I'm terrified that she might wonder off from our new house. A few days before we moving I'm going to take her on a leash and walk around our new neighborhood, so she might get familiar with it. she’s also getting chipped. But if you have any suggestions on how I could deal with moving a cat from a very comfortable out/indoor environment, to a totally new place I would love to know. Thank you.

My kitty cat Spider is potty trained. However, he pees on our couch, towel on the floor, etc, once in a while...like once a month or even longer than that. We have tried everything from cleaning the box more often, disciplining him when he pees outside the box, etc. Our other cat tigger never had an accident in his life.

They're both neutered, although Spider was already a bit older (9 months) when he had him neutered.

Now, my hubby is threatening to get rid of my cat if he won't stop. I'm so attached to my cats and I'm scared that they'll be given away. I want to know how to stop this. Please help me.

I'm pregnant and for years, been alone at home since I'm a housewife and my cats are the only ones who keep me sane. They keep me company and if they're taken away from me, I'm sure lose my mind.

Please no rude answers. Thanks

My brother's cat had a litter of 5 kittens and 3 of them have an extra toe on each foot. They are SO ADORABLE! The one I am thinking of taking looks like he as a camel hoof instead of a paw from the top.

Anyhow, I was thinking of something like Cletis or Jimmy Ray or Billy Joe Bob since he looks like an inbred hillbilly. Or Sexto, to better match his future siblings Ernesto and Calabaza.

What are some more names? They don't have to be hick names. He's sort of a black tabby, you can see his stripes in the light and he has brown eyes.

Everytime my family and I see our male cat(Sherbert) eating some time of ribbon. I heard we're not suppose to let cats eat ribbon. So we put them up on the top shelf of our closet. Now everyday, he tries to get up to the top shelf to try and eat more ribbon. How do I make him stop?
It use to be he'll just play with them. Like at christmas time, he'll play with the ribbon wrapped around the present. But now, it's eating it. Should I maybe contact my vet?

My 5 year old cat that I have had since he was 8 weks, is suffering from renal failure and has been since January of this year. He gets SubQ fluids every other day, but HATES the treatment. He has been hostile with the vet and the techs since day one and I can't say I blame him. Thing is, is that I know he will never get any better than where he's at right now, his levels have finally stabalized. He eats, drinks and plays fine, but is not what he used to be. He was always a very active and playful cat. You can tell he "tries", I think for me, but when you look at him you know he is not feeling well. He can't jump as high as he used to. I'm stuggling with letting him go. I know he will never get "cured" from this, he is stuck with it. My first cat had to be put down from renal failure and I can't bear to go through it again, esp. since he's so young. My other cat has been sleeping close to him like she knows their days together are numbered. I know I need to let him go. Please help.
