I am considering declawing my adult (5+ years) male cat. He has been an inside cat for over two years now, and only uses his claws to destroy the furniture. He has two horizontal scratching posts, and one vertical one, so there is no reason for him to claw up the couches.
I have heard that this sort thing in older cats can upset them.
Has anyone else heard this, or have any ideas/suggestions?

my kitty is new to the family :) it's very sweet and kind. The only problem is, my kitty pees on my furniture! I have a litter box and all, but it won't do it's business there. How can i fix this?

My husband was putting fabric softener in the machine and the cat found this intriguing. He went for the cup and kind of tipped it it onto himself. We wiped him down but there is some residue left. Should we bathe him so he doesn't ingest any when cleaning himself, or will he be ok w/ that small amount?

I love my cat. I feed him, play with him, exercise him, on and on and on. We cuddle. He is an Abby but he got an extra dose of Abbyism. He follows me all day and talks. He complains if I don't give him attention 24/7. My partner says I have spoiled him and now he is frozen in perpetual kittenhood. All he wants is me. Not my partner, not the otehr cats, just me. It is kind of getting on my nerves. Sometimes I put him in a separate part of the house (several rooms) but he meows his head off nonstop and can keep it up for hours. I don't want to torture him. What cn I do? I work at home and give all my pets good attention.

As I said in an earlier post, I just adopted a kitten from the side of the road, and I will be taking her to the vet later on, but for now is there any general adivce? I've never actually owned a kitten before (my husband has but is already at work) so i'm not entirely sure what to do. I also have a six month old, and they seem to get along well despite a pulled ear to which she didnt even hiss.
What are some must haves of cat care? What is the difference between cat foods? I keep hearing use wet, but all I know is my husbands parents have cats on dry food who lived to be 19+. What are the pros and cons to declawing? Are there any good home made cat toys until I can run to the store? Anything a seasoned vet has for a newbie would be appreciated!
Oh, and a way to get her to stop prancing on my laptop would also be appreciated!

He sulks when i play with them, stipulates that they are dirty and should not be allowed on the sofa, and grumbles when they meow for attention. He gets loads of attention from me but just cant seem to cope with me spending time with them. Is this going to get any better or worse???? Giving them up is not an option! Does any ones else’s partner get jealous or am i living with a loonie??

I just adopted a stray cat not a full twelve hours ago, she was found on the side of the road near the remaining half of her mother. I am taking her to the vet but have heard horror stories about the diseases she may carry, and now, the corner of one of my eyes is kind of numb and tingly. Anyone know if it may be related to my new found friend? I already had a doctors appointment set for wendsday for other reasons...should I mention the cat?

where they will be loved and cared for?
I don't want to get rid of them but I feel like it's too big a task for me to take care of them.
I've been feeding them formula, as they are 3 days old & the momma ran away.
I tried looking for a serrogate momma cat, to no avail.
where would be a place I could take them?
could I just drop them at the vets or does it have to be someplace in particular?

Weird question.. But we have an older cat (Female), That has always been skinny all her life (Never fixed). Well we moved to a new place and lost a cat (a sister) we had.. And got a male kitten a few months later.. Well.. Now my old cat is getting fat.(I truly believe it's because she is more happier she is in her new place, and sadly to say, lost her sister).. But my wife keeps thinking Buddy (our kitten) got her pregnant!..(which I doubt)
So.. When is the earliest a male kitten can impregnate a female cat?

My cat was vomitting like crazy and after I took him to the vet, my vet told me that my cat has feline leukemia.... I don't want to lose my cat ( he has lost a lot of weight this last 2 weeks and is having difficult time breathing) I was research on the web and one of the treatment I saw was using aloe vera. Can anyone tell me can I give him aloe vera juice (from fresh aloe vera) and how much to give? (he is only 1.5 yr old.... he was 4.5kg) he is very weak now, not moving too much and don't want to eat.... I am giving him cat milk (from the bottle using a medine dropper) what other thing I can give me to help him feel better/ strengthen him?

I have some proof.
A poisonous fish head
Clumps of fur
We have not yet found out if she was poisoned or killed. It was them because they always despised my cat and other pets. They first killed my black cat and then my other black cat, next is probably my dog!

I just got a kitten and he peed in the litter box but I'm not sure if you scoop the poop and the pee or only the poop. What do you do? I know the question is silly, but I'm just not sure. thank you.

I want to move back into my basement but my friends always complain about the smell from the cat boxes. I guess I have gotten use to it because i usually dont smell anything. So please, is there is anything I can do??

Oh yah just to add the basement has little air flow so chemicals would be a bad idea.

Thanks.

My cat was asleep and I was petting him below his ribs on his left side. There was a hard sort of lump just below the skin. Was this just a bowel movement he has yet to pass or maybe a skin tag? My grandmother's dog has a skin tag but it didn't really feel like that. Sorry, I'm not making much sense, I'm just wondering what this could be. Thanks!

I tried putting it on his paw but his just flicked it off and didn't seem to notice. Where should it go that he won't be able to flick it off but can still reach to lick and injest it?
