We have 2 indoor cats, that we have had for years. Now, all of a sudden, one of them has fleas! The other one doesnt, just the one cat named T.J. I dont know where T.J. is getting the fleas from. I have spent about 200 bucks in the last month on flea treatments.

First, i took him to the vet and bought Frontline flea treatment for him. (I put it on the other cat too just in case). Well, that only worked for about 1 week.

Then i took him back to the vet, and they gave him a flea dip bath. That lasted for about 2 days!

Then, we tried a different brand of flea treatment called Advantage. That didnt work at all.

Then we went back to the vet, and bought this powder that you sprinkle all over the carpets, and then vacuum up. That didnt work.

My poor cat has fleas and i dont know what else to do. I'm going broke buying the flea treamtents (they are pretty expensive). He seems to only have fleas on his face/head area and neck. What else can i do to get rid ot these dang fleas!?

I have a cat who will be 3 next April and she isn't spayed yet. I plan on doing this soon though. She pees in random spots (she IS litterbox trained) and has no interest in the male cats around. My question is...If i get her spayed, will she stop "spraying" or will this continue to go on?

Also, I plan on moving to Hawaii next year...will the new environment cause her to misbehave? Or should it not affect her any?

Anyyyy tips or advice whatsoever would be greatly appreciated!

I have a 5 year old cat who recently developed asthma. He has been to the vet to confirm this. However I cannot really afford to get medication from the vet all the time. Does anyone know of an inexpensive but effective treatment which I can use?

My cat has been a diabetic for many years now. She has been very hard to control but I have had her well under 200 which is great for her ( but still too high). This morning she was 119 and for the last few feedings when it is time for insulin she has only taken maybe one bite and walks away. I am still giving insuling and checking her levels but this is not like her, I am worried something else could be wrong. I have even tried several different foods thinking she was tired of the same can food everyday.

Thank you for your help.

Sounds more like a question for puppies, but my two kittens are about 4 months old now and very happy and active. They have lots of toys but still find things to make toys that I would prefer they wouldn't.

They get into the bathrooms occasionally and unroll toilet paper, chewing the majority of it to a state where all I can do is throw it out. I have tried keeping in on shelves out of reach, but they still manage to get to it. I try to keep the door closed even when the bathroom is not in use, but I have guests (and kids) over so they often get in anyway. I store rolls not in use in a box under the sink, so they can not get to them. Keeping it out of sight is difficult when I have guests!

I can't spray anything on the roll(s), is there anyway I can show them this is not a toy that they will understand?

I have had my cat for 4 years...I just recently fell behind on her shots. I have noticed behavior changes in her in the last two days...being very aggressive (where she used to be very calm) and loss of appetite.Also, my boyfriend (who the cat did love to death) was scratched by her last night after she hissed at him. I just got a puppy 5 days ago and assumed it was due to that but she was being calm around the pup until two days ago...shes an indoor and outdoor car and i stay in a rural area...What are the chances she has rabies without exhibiting any other rabies symptoms??

He is urinating in the air directly onto the stalks and leaves--not on the ground around it.

I have a very small home with limited space. No basement. Any creative ideas on how to hide a cat liter box so that it isn't in the open for all to see? My indoor cat uses it often and it's really yucky. It is an automatic one.

We are in a time of animal liberation and animal rights. I feel that cats should have the vote; that is, if I have one cat, I should get 1.5 votes to vote his interests; if I have two cats, I should get 2 votes, etc. I have 3 cats: my Abyssinian, who is a Muslim, feels there should be Sharia law enforced for those who harm cats or fellow animals; that is, hands should be cut off for hurting a cat; the penalty should be death for those who kill animals. My Burmese, who is a Buddhist, feels that we could lead these evil doers to enlightenment. Mr. Paws, my American mixed, is a Libertarian. Cats should definitely have voting rights.

My cat has an appointment Tuesday morning. Anyways, we are getting him checked from FLUTD. I've gotten opinions, and a lot of people said it's probably FLUTD. Anyways, I want more, hehe. His symptoms:

-straining to urinate
-small urination (one witnessed occurance)
-Dihareah
-Licking of his genitals


He's a neutered 4 yr. old male. I have a pic and video of his diaharea. E-mail me if you wanna see. And he doesn't have a blockage, because he can pee. But is it bacterial, or what?

I run around with a spray bottle of bleach and paper towels trying to keep up with my neverending spraying kitty. He has a clean litter box and also a dog run to go out into (there are no dogs around anymore). Is there a smell that repels cats (someone said lemon?). Please help as soon as possible (he even spayed my curtains) Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou

More specifically, how long do cats stay in shelters before being put down?

I have a particular cat that I would really like to adopt, but first, I have to persuade my parents to let me adopt him. I'm trying to figure out how much longer I have left to adopt him.

We have two cats that were rescued at about 3 months old. One cat fears the outdoors and runs away from the door every time we open it. The other, however, always goes towards the door to get outside.
We want them to remain indoors for various safety reasons and I'm wondering if the cat will eventually get it that he's not allowed outside or are we destined for door patrol forever.

My cat is 12. 3 days ago I noticed she wasnt herself. Less movement, then peed where she laid, hiding. Today she threw up. Tonight I went to get her out from under my bed and she was in pain and growled and panted very hard.

I took her to emergency vet and 341.00 later, no diagnosis. On way home, she meowed in pain. Threw up and is panting. Bloodwork all came back OK. She cant even walk--she falls down.

What is it???

My cat has been vomiting all over the house for the last couple of days. i took him to the vet this morning and came out with a $200 vet bill. they charged/did the following:

exam
centrine injection
penicillin injection
blood work
clavamox - oral med. to take home

This seems like overkill, and the fact that they gave him 2 injections and take home med. without even getting the blood work back makes me wonder...

Is there a vet out there or someone with a simular experience that can tell me if everything that was done was needed???

Also, they gave me medication and no instructions on how/when to give it to him. Anyone know anything about Clavamox 62.5mg/ml?

It's across the street from where I live. My cat is just sometimes sitting on thier driveway or walking in thier bushes. If he's that comfortable, is it because they are feeding him or just because he likes their cats? (The other cats are neutered most likely) My cat doesn't have a collar, so my neighbors may think he is a stray.

I could go and ask, but wanted to see if it was worth it first. They DO seem like the type of couple who would feed cats.
