My female cat (spayed) is now too stupid to pee in the box. I moved their box to a more secluded location and now she has decided to go outside of it. My male cat, who is considerably older than her is probably upset by this but does not bother "competitive" peeing - at least, that we can tell. She will even do it in front of you! The pee has saturated my carpet leaving the odor and I have attempted to scrub it will all types of carpet cleaner (using a machine, too) and cat enzymes, etc. to no avail. The female is my daughter's kitty - she is otherwise sweet, kind and wonderful to play with- what do I do? I even put the cat box back to original location!!! You cat geniuses out there must help me!

I have a 3 legged, neutred cat named Lucky. We fixed him and declawed him so that he could live inside. I also have outdoor cats, a few males, since we live on a farm--they are barn cats. I have two in particular, Toulouse and Devon that get in fights. But they fight with each other a lot less than they fight with Lucky. And the problem is that Lucky usually starts the fights. I havent really had any fixed animals before, except for my spayed dog, Holly, that we got from the pound. Is it normal for him to act like this??

My kitten is 3 months old and has a pot belly. He has already been to the vet with a stool sample and it came back positive for parasites (worms). I know a pot belly is a sign of this. He was put on medicine for it, which we have been giving him. My question is, when will his pot belly go away? Or is he stuck with it? Could it cause other health problems down the line? I've never been through this with any of my cats before, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!

my cat has been loosing some hair on his tale, theirs about a 2to3 inch bald spot right where his tale connects with his body. he's goes in and outside through out the day so he could have picked something up. also i found a scab on his right front leg last night and it is about the size of a dime. his leg looks kinda swollen around the area also. im just woundering what it could be and if i need to take him into the vet. also it seems like that back part of his body the hair is thinning but this could be from the change in seasons.

hi there, my brother has a male 3 year old cat which is very affectionate but also very territorial and he lives at my parents house, and he adores me. I´m planning on getting a cat for me, I spend weekends on their house constantly and I don´t know what´s better for me and the cat, if I get a female or another male. I hear that females are less affectionate and not as loyal as male cats and as in for my brother´s I´m afraid he will become aggressive if I get a male cat because they would be both territorial even if the new one is a kitten, so this is my dilemma, if anyone has an opinion it will be very appreciated.

Ok,, I have 3 cats. My problem is w/one of them. His name is Jessie and he is a 13 year old INSIDE cat. He has been his whole life. He was fixed as a kitten but suddenly started spraying a little this year when we would take him out. My husband and I take all of them outside once in a while but they are watched and contained. Anyway, he got out of the house by accident 2 weeks ago. He was gone for 2 whole night and finally came home on his own. This was the 3rd time he snuck out but it was never for this long. Now he is going nuts. He does nothing but cry by both the front and deck doors and does everything he can to escape. He does this from the time we get home from work till we go to bed. Everytime we get up and go to another room, he thinks one of us is going outside and runs to the door. He doesn't seem the same at all. He is acting nasty and seems to be going, borderline, insane. We are at our wits end and I do not know what to do about it? Please help!

Just like declawing, I would never do this to a cat. However, I saw one being shaved in Pet Smart and asked about it. They said people do it all the time to "keep the cat cool". I asked my vet and people from the SPCA who all said "no way" that it is not really good for them. They have gotten along just fine the way they are for thousands and thousands of years without being shaved. I have four long haired cats who always seem to find the coolest place in the house during the summer and are not uncomfortable at all.

The cat at Pet Smart was amazingly calm while undergoing this but afterwards I was embarrassed for him. He has a poofy head and poof on the end of his tail and that was it. I hope they don't let him outside, he'll get sunburned.

I couldn't afford to get her declawed when I first got her, and now I'm afraid to get new furniture because she scratches it.

2 weeks ago I bought a new couch and loveseat when my fiance and I bought a new house. They both sit up off the floor on legs just enough that the cats can get under them. Of course there is the black lining on the bottom that covers what would be the opening there. My cats (well maybe only one of them, I cannot catch them in the act) have decided that it would be neat if they could make it a new hiding place. They have torn a hole in the lining just big enough to be able to climb inside and lay in it and start to tear up and play in all of the stuffing and the springs. They also started to claw the outside arms. These cats have not really done anything like this before. They have scratching pads and posts and toys that have usually kept them occupied. They still use all that stuff too, just added the furniture. Any suggestions??? I have heard feliway is good to keep cats from clawing things, but this is supposedly when it is because of stress, it looks like mine are just having fun :(

This past weekend was very tough as we had to make a decision and lost our dear Sparky.
Sharing his memory/his pics with others helps heal the wounds on our hearts....

Through the eyes of Sparky

A cold, dark night in Minnesota
I came to your door hoping you’d hear
And you comforted me, fed me
Took me into your home

Welcoming me, treating me like family
You took me into your hearts
My love for you continued to grow
As you fondly referred to me as your son

I liked to run through the house
Jump on the bed and start to play
Gaze out the window from my perch
Play with my toys strewn around the room

Purring like a motor as you brushed me
Rolling over for a belly scratch
Laying by your side as you slept
I kept you in my own heart

The sad, sad day when you had to say goodbye
You held me close and I knew
Looking into your eyes, I said goodbye
And thank you for the best 5 years of my life
~~
we love you

I have a 5 year old female cat with a huge attitude. She is skittish around other people, but loves me. Lately, I have been considering on getting another cat for companionship for her. What kind of cat, older or kitten and male or female. Or do you think I should just keep it as is.
Thanks

I have a 10 year old female cat. We got her a companion when she was aged 2 - he was a kitten but he sadly died 3 years ago. About 3 months later we got a rescue cat aged 2. He died about a month ago from FIP. The thing is, she never really liked either of them! She got on better with Thomas (the first cat) in that they often slept together and would eat from the same bowl but with Bob (2nd cat) she ignored him completely, or would just jump on him. Sometimes they chased each other. My question is, should chance it with another companion? Since Bob died she has become more demanding but also she is playing a whole lot more so is that because she is lonely or is she actually happier? It is really hard to tell. My initial opinion is that she is happier but then she has had the company of another cat from an early age. I really dont know what to do for the best and would appreciate any opinions. Thanks

My cat doesn't always use her litter box. I clean it 2 days, change the litter completely often, and she still sometimes won't use it! She has always done this. At first I knew it was because she hadn't been spayed. Since then, she still does it. She pees in my plants, in the bath tub, on our blankets, on the bath mats, sometimes on our clothes. I am going crazy!

She doesn't have any infection or anything. She does use the litter box to poo, and sometimes pee. I have gone through many different kinds of litter, and litter boxes. This seems to be the kind she likes best.

Sometimes I think she does it because she is mad at me, maybe her food or water runs out or something. Seriously, I am so through with my house always smelling like urine! Please help.

I am planning a sterilization procedure for my 1 year-old female cat. But when talked to several vets, they gave me conflicting answers. Some told, even if we sterilized our cat she can continue having same mating attacks, like meowing all the time or crawling on floor and suffering diarrhoea because 20% of hormones are controlled by brain rather than the ovarium. But some told, she will never have those things again due to the operation! I do not my cat suffer again after the operation but now I am frustrated? what should I do? and whom should I trust?
