I have two 6 week old male kittens, and I was wondering, what is the appropriate age to get them neutered? I've heard I can get it done as young as 3 months, but also heard I shouldn't get it done until they are at least 8 months. What's the truth?
Thanks!

My nieghbor saved a kitten thats mother was feral, she has taken the kitten to the vet and has had her checked and shots given. The problem is she has severe diarhea and the vet keeps giving her medicine for parasites ( they also gave her antibiotics previously for the same problem) even though they checked for parasites and none were found, this medicine seems to be making her worse, she picked up the kitten and feces just runs out of her....has anyone given Immodiun AD to there kittens and iis it safe. I know my mother would give it to her Yorkies if they are really sick but Im not sure about a kitten.

I have a female cat that I took in from a former neighbor some years ago. She is real old but I don't know her exact age (20 something). All of a sudden she can't walk and it's like she is paryalyzed but she does have feeling and movement. When I try to stand her up she has no strength and falls right down on her side, her eyes are huge, like she is scared when this happens. She is eating so that's a good sign. What could be wrong with her? I have no poisonous plants in my house or other chemicals that she could have gotten into.

(It's the weight that's stubborn, not the cat!) We have 2 cats. Frances came to us at the age of 5, already overweight. We think it was a combination of genetics and poor-quality diet before we adopted her. Our other cat Maggie is elderly and kind of thin, although she has access to all the food she chooses to eat.

Our problem is that we can't realistically feed our cats in 2 separate rooms or at 2 separate times (our home is small). For now, we have both cats on a low-calorie, quality food (Innova) that they both seem to like. But Frances has not lost any weight, and at the same time, we don't think it's a good idea to restrict Maggie's food. Is this the best we can do? Any other ideas for us out there? Thanks

Hello all,
I have a cat that has been with me for four years now, and I've had him since he was 4 weeks old. I call him by his name, and whenever I do, he comes. But when my boyfriend calls him, it's as if he doesn't even recognize the same name. This is not the case with the dog, he responds no matter who calls his name. At first I considered that he just doesn't like him, but his behavior doesn't indicate that at all (it's the exact opposite surprisingly).
My boyfriend told me that it's because he doesn't really know his name, he is only responding to the tone of my voice and the way I say it. I find this hard to believe since he hears me talk all day, and only comes when I say his name, but since I am not an animal expert, I thought I'd ask, do cats recognize their names?

I am driving across the country in a few weeks. I am going from California to NJ and I'm taking my cats with me, as I am moving there. Are there any tips you could give me for traveling that kind of distance with two cats? Should I use sedatives? How do I do this successfully?

I have an indoor cat and last night I thought I'd take her outside to walk in the grass. This is only the 2nd time I've ever taken her out, but then she just walkked off into some bushes and behind a fence and I couldn't get her to come back. I called her all last night. Now she has been outside overnight and there's still no sign of her. How can I find her or get her to come back. I'm moving in 2 weeks, so I need to get her back soon. Any tips or tricks? Please help.

I'm leaving for vacation tonight and we'll be back on saturday..so that's 5 nights of her being alone. I changed her litter earlier so it's clean..I'm going to leave 4 huge bowls of food and 4 bowls of water...and i know she won't eat or drink that much, be we're just being safe. we're giving the neighbor a key to come over and make sure she's alright and to let her outside to play for a hour or so...and the neighbor will give her more food/water if needed. do you think she'll be alright? taking her w/ us is not an option..but we are taking the dog..so will my cat be alright?

My cat is hurt, he's been like this for a few days. It's not serious enough for the vet but I would like to give him something to ease the pain. Would IBprophin or advil or even Tylenol work?

I just got a female kitten and she isn't ready to mate yet. But my male cat who is about 1 years old is ready. He always letting out secretion on her back when he humps her. He holds her head in his mouth and holds her down. This is funny to me but it also confuses me because I feel like I can't do anything about it. He gets angry when I touch him during his approach with her and she fights him off. What should I do???

Does you cat lie across your arms while you're trying to type on the computer? She's so sweet, and needy, and I want her to know she's loved - but c'mon kitty - I'm making a lot of typos on account of you.

Why are some kitties soooo needy? (My other two aren't like that.)

I've had my cat since she was 4 years old and now she's 8. When I first got her, she had no hairball problems. She later started occasionally throwing up so I started giving her hairball remedy treats. They worked well even though she'd still have hairballs. They just weren't as often. I used to feed her wet food all the time but stopped doing that for a couple months. Now, however, I'm starting to feed her wet food again and whenever I do, she throws it up. This didn't used to happen. Just this morning, she threw up a handful of food all over my bed and it was gross. Can my cat not handle wet food anymore? I only want to take her to the vet as a last resort since she's a house cat and gets carsick VERY easily. Anyone know what's going on?

Stray tom cats have been breaking into the house via my cats catflap and scent marking, although I have been spraying with a pet deodoriser I find its not totally working and it seems to especialy linger in the wooden floor and skirting. Anyone got a really effective way of removing these foul odours, as it not only smells it also upsets my female cat who has started peeing in the hallway.
