Cats - August 2007

I have three cats and I want to make them homemade cat food. I can't feed them raw meat and I would like it to be dry.
But what I really want is for people to answer this question...
Is it cheaper to make homemade food than to buy the stuff that is supposed to be good for them in the stores???
Please help!!

I have a long black haired black cat. His name is Dante he is 1 year old. I am having a really difficult time with him to stop knocking things off of bookshelves, biting, scratching furniture. Its becoming ridiculous. And there are some days he is just sweet as pie Mr. Lovey. What the heck am i to do????

Background informatiom~~ 2 weeks ago my cat Molly give birth to 4 kittens. Then last Thrusday I noticed that my other female Maggie was bleeding from her vaginia. I never even noticed that she was pregers, but it seamed the she was giving birth & I set her up in a birthing box. After an hour nothing had happened,the bleeding had stopped & she was up walking around, so we asumed that maybe she had her kitten(s) outside. We then put her outside & watched her. We even walked the intire yard looking & listening for kittens. We can came up empty handed. So my next though was maybe she had a miscarriage, I called the vet & he said to just keep an eye on her & look for signs of infection. So now I have Molly with kittens & Maggie without any. During last few days Maggie has climbed in with Molly & her kittens. Molly seams not to care & Maggie nurses the kittens while Molly is away. Last night, Molly was nursing 1/2 & Maggie the other 1/2. I'm not sure what I should, if anything. Advice needed

I have an 8 week old kitten.
We can not tell if it is a boy or a girl.

It doesnt matter too much.
We're are just wondering if it's a Tommy or a Tammy.

How can you tell on a cat?!
:]

I have a 15 week old kitten whose just great, besides the horrible oder coming from his behind. I've gone so far as to baby wipe his bottom, thinking it might teach him to clean for himself. I see him clean his face and tail, but never his bottom. I've given him a bath once, but was hoping he'd learn to clean himself.

Also, we took him to the vet who says kitty is healthy. So there's nothing like that going on. I'm so confused! If he doesn't start cleaning himself, and keeps on smelling so horribly I may have to get rid of him.

Anything I can do?

Late last night after work I came home to find no Angus kitty. I looked everywhere, and when I went into the last room and noticed that the window screen was off. I panicked and looked outside and saw the screen in the bushes and rocks below. I ran out and a hour and a half later I found him. He seems fine, doesn't act like he's hurt. But, should I take him in to get checked out? Could he be internaly bleeding? Help!!

I know he jumped out because a few days ago he was running around that room and jumping on the window ledge and sliding. I even said to my fiance that he could slide right out if that screen gave away.
Damnit. :[

I have a male cat that's about 1 year old. He needs his shots and to get fixed still. He's an indoor/outdoor cat and hasn't been showing signs of being sick. I work a good job, but with bills and rent it's impossible for me to get him to a vet. I also don't drive. I live in Altadena...any suggestions on what I can do for him?

My sister owns both a diabetic, and a FeLV cat and a few other cats. The Diabetic and FeLV are kept in seperate rooms however the diabetic has some interaction with one of her other cats. The diabetic must travel with her to my house when she comes to visit. Is this putting my cat at risk?

My cat stays in my bedroom all day. When I get home or enter the room, she cries until I pet her or pick her up. Why? Is she just missing me?

I've never owned a kitten before and a friend gave my daughter a 5 month old kitten. She's a cute calico bread. She has started to meow alot and puts her her back legs and behind in a wierd position. Someone told me that means she is in "heat". I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

I have had my 5 month old male kitten for a little over a month now and I wanted to get him a friend. I brought home 10 week old male kitten. My 5 month old kitten keep pouncing on and wrestling with the 10 week old kitten. It seems like he is being really ruff at times and its constant....he isnt giving the other kitten a break. Is this normal or should I be concerned?? I seperated them the first day between bedrooms..I let the little one out once in awhile...is this ever going to end??

Six weeks ago one of my neighbors brought a kitten to my house and asked if it was mine. I said no but since the neighbor was going to release the cat back on the street I said I'd take it. The kitten was about 3 or 4 weeks old, not even old enough to be away from its mother. Its eyes hadn't even changed yet. I took the kitten in and fed it with a bottle at first, dewormed it, treated it for fleas (it was loaded) and took it to the vet. Now six weeks later the neighbor warned me that the kitten's original owner is threatening to go to the police because they stole their kitten. Can they legally take this kitten back from me now?

My cat has always been an indoor cat, but has recently taken to the habit of "relieving" itself on random objects around the house. It still uses its litterbox liberally and seems to focus on objects that smell like a person who dislikes the cat.

Anyways, we'll be taking the cat out to a family friend's farm, soon, because we're getting new carpet, and having an argument break out if he ruins it would not be good. He's never been a fan of the outdoors, and on the few times he's ever snuck outside, has vigorously attempted to get back in.

Any tips for helping the cat adjust to outdoors, so that it won't feel so cold-turkey when we take him? Or ideas to stop him from marking objects that smell like his "foe"?

Cat is neutered, btw.

I was up around 4:30 in the morning the other day; so was one of my cats. She wanted nothing more than to go outside.

"No," I said, "we don't have 'out' while it's still dark, honey."

She complained about this for a bit, and went off while I mucked about in the kitchen.

Not ten minutes later, my husband was awake and downstairs, with the cat. Apparently she'd gone off to complain to him about the whole in/out situation, waking him up and everything...

We eventually figured out that I'd promised another trip outside the night before, and promised it "tomorrow," with no qualifiers as to when "tomorrow" started. Hence her complaint to her Dad.

On one hand, she is aware that she's not to be out when it's dark; on the other, it was, technically, "tomorrow." We are committed to attachment-cat-parenting, so nobody's mad at her for waking up her father, but -- there is some residual tension about the whole misunderstanding.

Who was in the wrong here?

Yesterday i had a new kitten, female 12 weeks old, and i already have a 2 year old cat, female. And although my older cat hasnt clawed the little kitties eyes out, shes stalking her around the house and hissing so much at her, will they ever get on? or will it be like this forever? and does anyone have any help on litter training,it appears the kitten isnt litter trained which isnt what we were told, so i think she is pooping all over our house! so a little help would be nice! thanks :) xxx
