Judging by my previous questions regarding litter... it seems that Tidy Cat is good for nothing.

We used Tidy Cat for quite some time, and it never clumped and it never covered the smell. It seems like other cat owners dislike it as well. Am I alone here?

his sitting area except to poop-eat a tiny bit and drink a tiny bit. I am planning a doctor visit soon. He used to lay on my bed at night, play, and ask for pettings. NOW NOTHING!
What's wrong with Max...any advice?

I have a male cat and I got him fixed when he was six months he is one year old in October. I just want to know if it was done properly as he still has the tendency to... abuse things (pretty much just my arm or my favourite scarf, lol) also he is still a feisty little character and the Vet said he would calm down a bit after the op but I think its just because he is an agro little kitten and I am fine with that.

He still has his fuzzy little bumblebees so I assume he had a vasectomy or such. He doesnt do other things like I have heard male cats do like squirting everywhere to mark his place.

Hahaha I realise how ridiculous this question is but I would just like to know. Because he is an inside cat and I heard that being fixed will make them less want to run away and of course if he does he wont be getting a bunch of nasty diseases.

I keep finding claw fragments in places where my cat usually goes. Is this normal?

Okay, case one:

She's short-hair, old and boney. She's been a mostly-outdoor cat for a long time. The past couple of months, she's been throwing up about once every two weeks in the house. Let me say again, she old, old. I don't know if she's sick or just aging. My aunt told me that throwing up is one of the signs that they're going to die, but it has been months. I don't know what's going on.

Case Two:

She's only a few years old and short-hair as well. Recently, like in the past few days, she's been making this really weird noise. It's like a cross between coughing and sneezing. When she does it, she puts her head down like she wants to throw up and I can see her stomach contract. I don't think it's just a hairball, but I could be wrong. It's just that I've never ever seen her do that before, and if it's natural for cats, why is she just starting now?

What is going on here?

I wondered how my cat got out of the house when I was sure I had left him in. Then I saw him climbing up the shelves above the toilet up to a small window, which he jumped out after pushing out the screen. He made his own cat door!

I have a cat who likes to try what I am eating. When she hears the rustle of the potato chip bag she comes running for a few crumbled pieces of potato chip. Maybe it's the salt.

I have had 2 cats for years, Sassy and Rascal, but in February Rascal got out and never came back. A friend got me a kitten and I named him Taz. I thought Sassy was going to kill him a time or 2 the way she hissed and carried on with him, now she is fine with him though. Now I just came home from the grocery and there is the absolute cutest little baby kitten just sitting on my steps. Never even seen a cat roaming in the neighborhood. Weird. Lord, I don't know what to do. He is so cute. My daughter is 17 (only child) and will be leaving in a few years and I am going to be known as the weird cat lady with 3 cats! He is sooooo cute though - dang it, I don't know what to do!

Me and my girlfriend just adopted another cat,Tiger, from her sister. We took him in b/c the sister completely ignored the poor thing. Kept Tiger in her basemant hid whole life with no interaction to the rest of the family, no love or attention or care!!! My God she only took him to the vet when he was a kitten!!! Now he's nine. Seems to get along so far with our other three. But his one canine teeth is going bad but not so bad he's not eatting. But when I took him to the vet to update him, the vet said he had ginsivitis. His breath is pretty foul and I just don't think that a cleanning will do anything.
Does anyone out there have any good suggestions? PLease only answer if you know of something that may work. No silly answers please. Thanks to all that answer :).

Ok I found this cat a few weeks ago starving, took him to the vet who said other than being way too thin, and missing his tail and a toe, seems to be in good condition. Hes slowly becoming a picky eater, but today went nuts when I made chicken and dumpling soup. I ate the dumplings and carrots out of it and gave the rest to him. He ate it like a maniac.

I had heard that it is safe to give a cat chicken as a treat (hey if it gets the poor guy some weight), but just wanted to make sure the broth was ok for them too.

His pickiness went from eating anything I put in front of him, to poo pooing the wet food, and then stopped eating much of the dry food. Still drinking plenty of water. I don't plan on letting him just eat chicken though don't worry, I can't afford that!

I gave my 6month old cat Frontline plus today. We also used a flea bomb earlier. She was brought back into the house well after 3 hours, and the house was aired out for an hour before re-entering. (just did it to be safe) A little while ago she began to foam and druel from her mouth. She also was jumping around spazticaly. I opened up the window and put a bowl of water by the window and she seems fine now. Should I worry? and what should I do?

:
Could hospital cat be angel of death?
- He is a two-year-old cat and looks innocent enough. But at the nursing home where he lives in the US state of Rhode Island, Oscar has developed a reputation as an angel of death.


Since being adopted as a kitten by staff at the advanced dementia unit of Providence's Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Oscar has revealed a rather morbid tendency to pick which patient is going to die next.

According to David Dosa, a geriatrician at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, Oscar makes regular rounds, looking in on patients and giving them a quick sniff, before either moving on or settling down for a cuddle.

I am hoping to buy or adopt a Ragdoll kitten, but any kitten that likes to be cuddled and held constantly would do. i live near Philadelphia, PA. Anyone have any ideas?

I have a 16 year old neutered Russian blue cat. He seems very healthy, but he recently went into the vet for a check up and some blood tests, and it looks like he has some type of infection. His white blood cell count is high, as is his lymphocyte count. We are trying antibiotics, per the vet's reccomendation, but if those dont work my vet says my cat may have leukemia.

I have a few questions about feline leukemia. First of all, my cat has always had his shots and I thought that FIP was to prevent feline leukemia. Are there different types or am I wrong about what FIP is for? Why would my cat get a disease he is supposed to be protected from?

Secondly, if my cat does have leukemia, what can I expect? I have no clue what the treatments would be, if it is possible to treat. And like I said, my cat is an old man, so I dont want to put him through something that may be too much for him.

Has anyone else been through this?
