Cats - July 2007

My all black male cat is roughly ten years old and in very good health. He is happy, social and bathes regularaly but not excessively and LOVES to be brushed and groomed, which I do regularly - he is very talkative and knows just how to ask!

While brushing him a few nights ago, I found what looks like a pimple on his back. However, this pimple is quite solid rather than being a small pocket of fluid as I remember mine used to be. There is no sign of inflammation around the spot and the pimple itself is just SLIGHTLY pinker than the rest of his skin; he does seem to have more dander than usual on his back. I have been keeping an eye on it and it does seem to be a little tender or sensitive - he usually LOVES a vigourous back scratch but doesn't like the spot being scratched

If anyone has any ideas of the problem - or needs any further information - then do not hesitate to contact me. I am on disability support and cannot afford vet bill's unless essential!

Many thanks!

My cat is barely eating this expensive stuff so I was wondering if there were any alternatives that were less expensive and tasted better?

I have a 10 weeks old kitten that is scared of almost everything even his toys and he likes to scratch everything.I thought that was because he is the only pet in the house. I thought I should bring another cat and I'm confused Should I get him a male like a brother or female?

The other cats run to her rescue. the kitten appears to be having fun. When they approach her she stops and gets spooked. She's a very playful cat and very frisky.

Our cat had 3 kittens 4 months ago. One recently left to go to his new home and the new owner informed us that he has hookworms. Should we treat mama cat and the other 2 kittens, assuming they have them too? They just came back from their spay/neuter/rabies/distemper appointments and the county shelter didn't say anything about the worms. What product can we use if we need to treat them? We'd like to avoid 3 high vet bills as they seem very healthy.

He even made a hole in the screen door so he could go out and come in to eat, but then he leaves.

My cats have a dedicated patch of earth in the garden that they use as a toilet. Its quite a large area and i dig the ground over every week however just recently its really started to smell. Is there anything i can put on the earth and mix in that will get rid or reduce the smell. Obviously its got to be environmentally friendly and cat friendly too.

I have a one year old male Persian, a very nice looking cat and also a nice temperement. How would I go about finding him a mate?

I do not want another cat I'd just like to keep his line going, I'd probably give away the kittens to the owner of the female. I'm in New York btw.

I am taking care of 3 abandoned kittens (less than 1 week old) I have formula and a bottle from the pet store. Two are doing fine, but one, the runt, doesn't nurse very well, he sucks a little, then turns away and writhes. It seems like he's in pain. Any ideas? Any other advice on taking care of these kittens?

My cat is really awesome looking , she is white fluffy, with green eyes , and very nice slim body.

I started noticing that many male cats in the neighborhood has started stalking her and they also harras my cat and constantly bother her in an attempt to date her.
So far she has rejected all of them. But these male cats are getting increasingly aggressive with her.

So I worry about her as I dont think these male cats know the rule of "No means No" ... I am worried that one of these male cat may try to rape her as she is outside and completely alone at night.
How can I protect my cat from these desperate male cats ??

He was found in a box outside my mothers job still covered in blood from birth. We took the litter home, cleaned them up, began bottle feeding them. For a long time we didn't think they would make it, but they survived!

I kept one, and he doesn't seem to act like most cats. He's now 3 years old and has some odd behaviors and missing behaviors. He sucks on his paw, not enough to hurt the skin, but his black fur is now red there. He has no balance, very clumsy. He doesn't spray (and he isn't fixed), he doesn't purr, and he just acts..well...stupid. He plays well enough, the simple games of hockey and such, but for the most part he just doesn't seem as bright as any cat I've had. Of course the vet wants hundreds of dollars to check out his brain, so I thought I'd try here first.

My 5 month kitten keeps playing with his water, and tips it out of his bowl.
Anyone know anything to help stop this. (Do you get a water holder for cats like that for a hamster etc?)
I'm concerned as he then has no water to drink while I'm at work. I've tried a heavier bowl but he just sticks his paws in and splashes. He's a British Blue and I'm not sure if this is just a breed thing? Thank you all in advance.x

I have a 2 year old female tabby. She is spayed and healthy.
Usually she sleeps at night. Untill about 4 am EVERYDAY she starts meowing really loud and non-stop. I get up, give her food but she won't eat. She won't stop it until everybody is up then she goes to sleep. It is really annoying to the point where I am considering giving her up because I can't sleep(and neither can my neighbors) If I lock her anywhere in the house she will claw her way on the carpet and destroy it.
I don't know what to do anymore.The vet said there is nothing wrong with her. Help, anyone???

I took my newly adopted kitten to the vet and the poor thing had a bunch of troubles - upper respiratory infection, eye infection, ear mites. The eye infection has cleared up and he is on antibiotics (though still sneezing.) I was just curious about whether the Revolution would kill the ear mites left over after the doctor swabbed his ears or will I need to bring him back to the vet? Will the Revolution also de-worm him?
