I found a stray kitten last Friday. It was, and still is, very emaciated. My family is currently trying to nurse it back to health and the kitten is doing quite a bit better. We've had some disagreements on what we should name it.

We believe the kitten is a male (it's a bit hard to tell because there is no muscle back there and I'm not sure things are in the right place). It is a dark charcoal gray and has a very sweet personality.

So if you could please pick your top three favorite names and please no naming websites! If you want you could also give girl names in case we find out later that it really is a girl.

How do you know if your cat has fleas? How can cats get fleas? My friend thinks my cat might have them but she doesn't go outside much. Maybe once every three or four days. And she doesn't go far from our step. She rubs on the ground though. Could she get them from that?

This was my first question and now I have a follow up to it below



We have a stray momma cat who hangs out around our house. She just recently had 4 babies next to our shed probably 3-5 days ago. She had them next to the shed and today moved them under it. But she left one out. I know that if the mother thinks that the baby will not survive she will reject. It is so hot right now (104 degrees) and I feel bad for the little guy. I don't know if I should help or just let nature take it's course. any help would be great. Thanks


So I tried to get the kitten to save it but momma cat came after me hissing and ready to attack. Now what do I do? I honestly don't think she is going to except the kitten because it is at the back of the shed and she has moved all the others to the front and is nursing them.

I am thinking of adopting a kitten. I have no prior experience of little animals and I heard cats are easy to take care of.
What might be the negative things about having a cat in the house and what I should watch out for.

Thank you!

Someone told me that in order for me to get rid of my Maine Coon's flea problem that I'll need to shave her and then squeeze them all. On top of that I'll need to use Frontline. Is it really necessary to shave her?

Does that mean that they had them but didn't care enough about cats to mention them, or does it mean that there were no cats back then?

My male cat, neutered, began peeing blood today. I've noticed he's been squatting weird lately. Like, it would look like he's peeing but there would be no pee. Then today I wake up and find little puddles of blood everywhere. My guess is he has a bladder infection. Unfourtanetly, I was just laid off of work so I don't have very much money.

I was wondering if there's anything else I can do or give to him, to cure him??

Please help!

Thank you

Our neighboors are VERY STRANGE PEOPLE. They ahve all kinds of animals (From racoons, dogs, chickens, ducks, cats, snakes, fish - you name it - they have it.) She rescues animals sourt of. She takes them in, and then either finds homes for them or keeps them until their old enough to go into the wild.
(Which would be a really nice thing to do, but she does not keep things clean around her house. The smell actually travels from her yard to ours in the summer. Its GROSS)
WELL She has this one cat who comes into our yard ALL THE TIME. We didnt mind him at first. But a few weeks ago i noticed him spraying on our garden!! (There goes all those vegies!). Well, I hung my bathing suit on our clothes line (Like we do all our other clotehs) to dry. I went to put it on. IT GOT SPRAYED ON!!

My mom soaked it and washed it in the was (with no other clothes in it of course). She put it to dry. It didnt work! I'm currently soaking it in "Pet urine remover" that u use for your carpet/apolstry.

my house is dying of fleas...they're in every room! I have two cats who seem to have them pretty badly. We've used the gel that you put on their back to kill them, but no luck. We used a fogger in 2 rooms that did nothing! What do i do?!?

One of our cats is suffering from Chronic Renal Failure due to the tainted Iams cat food made by Menu Foods. Iams has agreed their food was the cause and they have offered to pay our vet bills (nearly $4,000 so far) and for four months of medical monitoring. Four months is a joke -- our cat is going to need expensive treatment for the rest of his life, not just the next four months.

Just curious to know if anyone has had any luck with negotiating a better settlement with Iams. Did they increase the length of the medical monitoring window? Did they reimburse you for related costs (missing work, canceled travel plans, etc.)? Or did they just give you the brush off and tell you their offer would not change?

Just wondering what to expect when I call them to make a counter offer.

I think my cat will probably like it in the long run, or do cats tend to hate it?

They are suppost to be refrigerated. They were probably left out for about 6 or 7 hours.

I adopted my cat from the Humane Society about a month ago. They were feeding him Purina Cat Chow complete formula. They asked me to keep him on that for a while before I decide to change brands.

The Cat Loves the food. But after a couple weeks he has the shits bad!!!! He was only at the shelter for 3 days before I got him.

Has anyone else had this problems with Purina cat chow??? I would love to know if anyone else had this same problem with there lovely feline buddy :)

Please give me some suggestions on what food has worked well for you.

Thanks for the help!!!!

My husband and I have three cats. Two of them are mammas babies and always hang around me and go to me. The youngest one always goes to him and could care less about me unless I have food. He is more playful and lets her claw him etc. Could that be why?
