Cats - July 2007

I have noticed that my cat's nail one one of her paws is discolored. At first glance it looks like she has something stuck in it. (And it's not doo doo,even thought the pics look like it! LOL)But if i look closer it looks more like a rash. It doesn't seem to be painful to her. When i try and look at it she just gets agitated and will pull away. But she walks fine and it really doesn't seem to bother her. But it is pretty gross looking. And i don't want it to be serious of course. I also don't have the extra hundred dollars to take her to the vet. So any info on this would be appreciated. I have posted a couple pictures just incase it will help! Thanks in advance! :0)

I am currently feeding my diabetic cat Hill's Science MD formula canned cat food. He does like it, but then again, he's never been a fussy cat. Any alternatives out there that you've tried and find your cat likes....and doesn't cost half your pay check a month?

Thanks!!

Hi...trying to hide cats from my landlord who is staying in an apartment downstairs at the moment but the kitties keep jumping on the window sills! I bought a natural cat repellent from pet store yesterday but it didn't work at all. Someone suggested cayenne pepper? Any other ideas?

my sister found a kitten few days ago and shes kinda too silent and very passive. she never run around like other kittens and looks sad and depressed. maybe she misses he mum or sumthing, some kid had cut her whiskers, and she had this thing in her eye all the time, like an eye infection and we have to wipe it with damp cloth. does cat cries? what should we do to cheer her up?

I have a 5 year old cat who is litter-trained and 'till recently hasn't caused me any problems with it. First, he started peeing on dirty clothes that were laying around. So, taking some of you all's good advice I became a better housekeeper. However, I just went in the bathroom and saw where he peed right in front of a fresh litter box. I caught him peeing on a pile of laundry earlier as well.

I have a tom cat that hangs around my house sometimes. Recently he showed up sick after eating rat poisen at my neighbors, I nursed him through that, he disappeared. He showed back up only to be dragged off by my neighbor's dog and left for dead in their driveway. I nursed him through that, he disappeared. Now he has shown back up, and he is a mess. He is drooling excessively, he has a runny nose with some bloody discharge, he isn't eating or drinking that i have seen and his inner legs are caked witht he filth he keeps wiping off of his face. He begs for me to pay attention to him until it looks like I'm going to kennel him. Then he runs. I'm afraid to touch him because I don't know what's wrong. He has been worsening for a week now. At first he was just lethargicly moping around with a slight nasal discharge. He went from slight to fright in about a day. What the ???? is wrong with him? Do I need to worry about him biting or scratching me? He hasn't been agressive.

My cats gums are pink but get pretty red right at the gum lines. I mean one of my cats has the normal (I think) sort of pink ribbon on his gums right above/below his teeth but my other kitty has a "ribbon" above/below his teeth that is a bright red. I know this sounds like I am being ignorant but seriously is this something I should be worried about?

I have a new cat i'm trying to introduce, that's about 4 years old, and my old one is like 11. Both female. I dont know if I ruined all chances already but I put them in the same room the first day, and they just hiss and growl. The younger (new) cat, Snowball, is always hiding, and growls even at ME, and attacks me with claws when i try to pet her. My old cat, Lucky, just acts a little bit odd, constantly staring at the couch (when Snowball is hding underneath it) and growling when near her. It's now the fourth day, and I checked the internet and they said i'm not even supposed to have them in the same room till like a week. I didn't know. They're still acting the same way, growling and hissing, and they even fought once, which lasted for exactly ONE second...

How do I fix this to make Snowball get along with Lucky and me? Also, how long will the process take? (Please dont give an answer like "it varies", if it DOES vary, can you specify the range please)

THANK YOU

How do I break my cat from the habit of wanting to drink water from the kitchen faucet? He eats dry food, and am concerned he doesn't get enough water. He never seems to drink from his water bowl, and I am not always around to turn on the faucet.

Is your cat a "Free Range Cat" ???

Now that I have established that our new kitten is indeed a female, it worries me. She is 13 weeks old and our other cat is 11 years old. Right now my older cat is still hissing and growling, but we've only had the kitten for a few days. I know it will take some time for the older one to accept the kitten..... but... Are they going to be able to eventually get along, or just tolerate each other even though they are both females?
(The oldest is fixed and we plan on doing the same for the kitten when she's old enough.)
