My cat is strictly an indoor cat, so I don't need to worry about getting re-infested by her going outside. I think I must be the one who accidentally brought the fleas home with me. I treated my home with flea bombs and gave her a flea bath and it seemed to work but I found live fleas on her just a couple of days later. So somehow I didn't get them all on the first attempt. What do I need to do next time?
Since she doesn't go outside at all I don't think I need to use Frontline or Advantage or anything like a flea collar. I just need to get rid of the fleas I have now and should be OK, right? (As long as I take care to not bring fleas in with me again.)
Thanks in advance!

I just got a new kitty. Just old enough to be away from his mom. She is very little. What kind of food should I buy her? Canned food or hard food? Should I give her warm milk or water? Please answer!

We have a feral cat (not even year) who got pregnant. My dad was watering the plants when she darted out of garden and all he heard was little mews. Turns out the cat [Erin] gave birth to one little kitten, dad took it in and tried to give it room temp milk, but it wouldn't take it. We have it wrapped in a blanket right now, by the back door, seeing if Erin will come back to feed it. What should we do if she doesnt?

My cat has gotten very big in her stomach area, she eats more than usual, her nipples enlarged, and her stomach feels like it has little bumps in there. The only problem is that the lady who gave Minnie to us said she was already fixed. We do have a male cat, but we have total proof he was fixed. She doesn’t go outside very often. She went out side on Halloween and Xmas. Minnie's barely one year old and had no period. How can this be possible? She dosen't look or act sick so what eles can it be?

Specifically, two cats a couple years apart grow up together. The older one dies. Will the younger one remember his buddy next year, in two years?

My cat is 18 and has recently been limping on front paw. Her leg was swollen but then she apepared to get better but now when she stands her paw is turned at an angle. Today I discovered an open wound or a hole in her skin in her arm pit area. It is not bleeding. Has anyone seen this kind of thing before. I am worried that she has some kind of terminal cat disease. I know a trip to the vet is in order. Help?

kinda long, i will make it as short as possible! 6 years ago my cat had kittens. she had 4, i kept two, gave one to family friends and then one to good friends of mine. about 6 months ago my friends had a baby and wanted to give the cat back to me, well my boyfriend took him in. i will be moving in with him in about a week with the mom and brother and sister of the cat. i was wondering if they will remember each other or do cats forget once they are separated. of course the ones that stayed with the mom know she is mom. thanks!

The cat needs Tapazol 2 X per day for the remainder of his life. What is the best way to do this? What diet helps with overactive thyroid?

I have 2 Siamese cats who are both 5 years old, 1 is very friendly and socialised, the other, not so (she is quite timid). We bought home a new Bullmastiff pup last week (14 weeks old). All seemed to be getting on ok, the timid one stayed out of the way. Today, for no reason, the friendy kitty jumped onto the pups neck and started clawing him, he yelped and the timid one went crazy, she was riding his back and clawing and screaming the poor pup was so scared that he messed himself. I finally got a cushion and beat the cat around the head and she retreated. The poor pup ran to his cage, i crawled in with him, shut the door and stroked and reassured him. The cats were bleeding from their paws where they had ripped their claws out and my little pup was bleeding a little from his face. I can't stop crying and feel very guilty about the pup as i couldnt stop the cats and now im not sure what to do. How can i try and get them together again, i don't want a repeat performance.

Maybe I should ask this in the trying to conceive section...I just keep hearing ppl say they got rid of their cat etc. I mean I know the risk that can come from cleaning up the litter. But I just think it is disgusting to get rid of the cat after you have been taking care of it!

I have 3 cats, but only one of them has problems with frequently throwing up. (The other two throw up the occassional hairball or two, but nothing to be concerned about.) My 3rd cat, Skye, is a bit thinner than the other two and seems like she has trouble keeping any cat food down at least 1 day out of every week. I've taken her to the vet twice, who checked for worms and other problems before pronouncing her perfectly fine. I've tried 4 different kinds of dry cat food and 3 different kinds of canned cat food. I've tried hairball treats (though she is a short hair cat), and they have no effect. (She throws up food, not hair.) Sometimes the only thing she can keep down is a bit of milk. The vet suggested meat flavor baby food for the days when she can't keep the cat food down, but I was wondering if baby food has the right nutrients for a cat. Is there anything I can do to help her keep the cat food down and prevent her throwing up? Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

My 9 year-old cat is terrible for plucking everything in the house! I've had him for 3 years and he's always done so but it seems to be getting worse - especially at night. He uses a litter tray and for half an hour afterwards he plucks frantically at the surrounding carpets with both front paws, he sits at the windows and plucks at all the curtains, he shreds the wallpaper in my study... How can I break this habit as it's ruining my house?
