My cat has been meowing very loudly every time we pick her up. We think she is pregnant because she has a round belly and large nipples. The thing is she isn't very affectionate, but very unaffectionate! Is she pregnant or not!

My golden is 12 years old and just recently started getting dark circles under her eyes and a tinge of red. They now look swollen and crusty underneath and she has developed a sore on her eye lid. There is nothing oozing out of her eyes?? What is going on??

I know that himalyan is actually the color of a persian with "points", but they are not registered the same. Would it be unethical to breed the two (if they were of breed standard of course)?

FYI: not a breeder, just curious.

first of all, what do you think of meow mix brand cat food? i used to buy whiskas, then bought mm by accident...and since i know switching food is bad i just kept buying mm. my one year old cat doesnt seem to like it as much. hell eat it, but is just not as "excited" about it lol. what should i do? if you suggest new brand, keep in mind that i want to stay in same price range as mm. ok, next question: im adopting 2 new kittens in a few days, and I cant pick names. ones a orange and white female with big pale green eyes. the other one is a male gray, black, and white striped kitty. any suggestions? last question I promise: when the cat food says "for cats and kittens" on the bag, does that mean any age cat can eat it? and if not, if I buy food thats just for kittens for the new kitties, then how old do they have to be before they eat cat food?

Does anyone have any best practices, or experience with this? What can I expect?

The cats get along. The dog is good with cats, and only a few pounds heavier than my cats! Any tips would be appreciated, as the dog is arriving this weekend. Thanks.

One of my house mates has a kitten, and made the mistake of leaving a candle burning while he fell asleep (Yes *I* know silly that was, but he said that he had just fallen asleep, and that's why the candle was still burning). In any case, his 9 week old kitten managed to knock the candle down and get himself absolutely Coated in the melted candle wax.

My house mate came and woke me up at 7am, when this happened, and I checked the kitten out. He's in no pain, no sign burns, not in shock, pulse seems normal... However, his fur is coated in wax. The candle was one of those big jar, scented candles, so it was semi-soft wax, not the hard wax.

I've told him to try using ice cubes to harden the wax up, then break it off; to try the hairdryer set on warm, with a cloth on the kitten to absorb the wax; to try warm as possible water; and also to try a petroleum based product such as mineral oil/baby oil, to try to dissolve at least some components of the wax.

Any other suggestions?

I clean the litterboxes religiously twice a day but still feel like the house smells. Do cats themselves give off an odor or is it just their litterboxes? Any suggestions on what I can do? Does anyone else out there have a multi cat household and have it smelling fresh too? THANK YOU SO MUCH! Will try anything!

This is a strange behavior that has been going on for quite some time now. Whenever my cat is really content, like he's being pet and whatnot, he would get right up to my face, and nibble at my chin, and if I let him keep doing it, he will actually bite down fairly hard. And it's not only on my chin either, it's really on any place that protrudes, may it be my nose, finger, etc., but the chin seems to be his favorite place. He is not AT ALL aggressive when this happens, and like I said, he only displays this behavior when he is content, and getting pet. It's not an aggravated action at all. The only solution I came up with is that it's kind of instinct from when he was nursing, because when he's this content, he's generally kneading, drooling, and all that cat stuff. Is this theory actually possible? Is he biting down because it's instinctive from his birth, just like kneading and drooling is? Or can it be something else? Tips and advice appreciated!

My Mom's cat of 10 years pees on everything in the house. The whole has is saturated and really stinks.(luckily I don't live there) My Mom has tried putting the cat on anti-depressants per the vets instructions but the cat will literally keep the pill in her mouth and not swallow it. My sister and I have tried to get my mom to keep the cat in the basement with the door shut, litterbox food etc so she learns where to pee and that it is not ok to pee all over the house. But my mom always caves in to the cat's crying and lets her back intoe the rest of the house after an hour. This has gone on for years, the cat has no discipline. To make matters worse, besides her problem, she just is not a very nice cat, she bites, hisses, claws at people who are not my Mom. My mom wants to put her house on the market, but in its current state peope will wlak rigth out bc of the smell. Anything that has worked for really poorly behaved kitties besides euthanization? She has no medical problems.
