Cats - August 2007

I've put a flea collar on her and sprayed the carpets and soft furnishing all to no avail. I'm being eaten to bits. The spray is supposed to last for 6 months. I don't think it lasts 6 minutes. I tried to put her in a cat box but it was all too traumatic for both of us. The vet won't hand out the stuff to put on the back of her head without first seeing her. Someone told me there was an injection for getting rid of them. If so, how does it work?

Other than being overweight, what are some of the symptoms?

I'm just wondering what coat markings the mother and father could possibly have to produce a cat with tortoiseshell & calico coat markings. Could the mother be tortortoiseshell & calico, yet the father be one color? This gets confusing.

Hi

I have two cats showing similar symptoms and wondered what it could be, they are both about 15 years old, one female and the other her son.

They seem to be aggitated sometimes, scrathing their ears and shaking their heads alot, and dont like their ears being touched at all, they also seem to be licking themselves constantly, something they never have done before, they also scratch their throats also on occasions.

Both do exactly the same and seem to have bigger appetites as well, specially in the morning, I thought maybe it was ear mites so I treated with frontline all my cats but 3 weeks down the line still the same behavior, any ideas ?

Last night i put front line on my cat and this morning he fur is wet where she has been licking at it. She is super flexible and it is no problem for her to lick between her sholders. I'm not sure what to do about it though.

Me and my husband live with a really nice family (mum, dad, boy and girl) in a houseshare and I'm buying a kitten today and naturally everyone is really excited especially the kids, but I feel really annoyed as the mum seems to think that I'm buying it for everyone when she told me it's my responsibility. She even said that I could put it on her little's girls bed as a suprise when I bring it home which really annoyed me as it's my cat not theirs. Am I being selfish or not?

An unneutered GORGEOUS white male cat showed up at my house a few days ago, and by the fact that he's so friendly I assume he has (or had) an owner, but by the fact he's kinda skinny and is unneutered makes me think maybe he wasn't taken care of. Either way, I'm caring for him while trying to find his owner...and if he were mine, he'd be neutered, so don't tell me to just get him fixed. If no one resonds to an ad within 2 weeks he shall be chopped.

But my question is...and sorry if this is gross...is it normal for a male cat to get feces on his balls? Like I know it's all in the general vicinity, and maybe it's just more noticable because he's pure white, but it really seems like he frequently has poo on his balls (till he bathes again) and it's grossing me out. I'm pregnant so I can't touch cat feces in any way so I can't wipe him. I just want to know is this normal?

A friend of mine has this small dog who I think is confused that it's a member of the feline species that it keeps on hounding the cat as if it is the cat's protector or guardian.

One day he heard the cat screaming and discovered the dog is having sex with his cat! My friend knew the dog is successful since it took some time for the dog to disconnect from the cat. Though the dog suffered scratches on its neck and the sides which obviously came from the cat when she was being raped.

So, is it possible for a dog to impregnate the cat?

just wondering, is there a cat food out there that's like a diet cat food for a cat gaining weight. My female cat is 3yrs old and got spayed about 4 months ago and ever since then she is kinda fat. Not huge, but pretty big. She's so big that I worry about her health in the long run. What should I do about her food? She only gets a cup of meow mix a day. That's what's recommended.

I got two cats. A siamese and an egyptian mau. I hate dogs. Is that weird or what? If I suddenly became single would it be hard to find chicks that don't think I'm a weirdo? My apartment doesn't stink. I'm 25. I hate dogs cause they're stupid.

I have a 9 week old kitten and my husband and I have had her here for a week. She loves to be around people, but she hates to be held and cuddled. She runs around the apartment like a nutcase, so I know she's not shy or scared or anything of the sort. She insists on playing the whole time she's awake. Occassionally she'll look at you and meow, but there seems to be no point to it. I've had cats for quite sometime, but none ever acted like she does. All my cats before loved to be around people and didn't run when you tried to pick them up. Like right now she's sleeping beside the keyboard, but if I pick her up she's gonna get cranky. She doesn't hiss or anything, but she struggles until you let go. When we go to bed she has to be right there in bed with us, however that's not always fun either becuase in the dark she'll bat at you eyes (which no other cat I've had has ever done either). I just can't figure her out.

Thanks for any help!

From the cat's point of view it seems cruel and I feel guilty about taking my cats to the vet to be "fixed". Would you feel guilty too?

My mother refused to let our neutered male cat out of the house because she thought he would get involved with a gang of homosexual cats who would lead him astray. I"m not making this up. Can an animal be a homosexul?

The 10 week wait is over and I finally got my gorgeous little ball of fluff on Sunday. She is just adorable, and very clever using her kitty litter straight away (thanks to everyone for advice on kitty litter a few weeks ago) I also asked for some names for her and for those of you who answered I have named her Isis, pronounced Ice ess. My little boy calls her icy, which I think is very cute to! Anyway I’m so excited I’m rambling so I’ll get to the question. I was concerned about how my little dog would act with a new kitten, but my dog is being wonderful with her, it’s the kitten that is terrified of the dog. She is aching her back, hissing and scratching my dog when she comes to close. And they keep having these staring standoffs, the kitten is fine until the dog moves. What should I do? I know its only day 2, so should I just be supervising and letting them sort it out themselves? Do you think kitty will get used to the dog and stop her hissing and scratching? I’m just worried that our dog will lose an eye the way they are going, but the dog is so good with her she just wants to say hello but is scared of the kitten and backs off lol. Anything I should be doing or some advice would be great!!!! Thanks so much :)

I adopted a 10 week old kitten (on a Mon) from our local animal shelter. They gave her the first round of vaccinations and a general dewormer the day we brought her home. She was COVERED in fleas and very thin. After cleaning her up it took a few days before she would eat well. She finally began to play and be a part of the family. Sunday morning she began sneezing, had watery eyes and nose. The animal ER we took her to gave us antibiotic and eye cream to treat an URI (upper respiratory infection) At that time she was eating, drinking, peeing and pooping as normal. Today she's bloated and not pooping. We've been doing steam baths for her several times a day as prescribed but she's still sneezing. I've worried about her not pooping now and her belly is pretty bloated. We called the ER back and they said it shouldn't be the meds and have her in to our vet in the morning.
We lost a cat during neutoring the same day we adopted this new kitten and don't want to lose another. Any advice??

Okay, I have a cat that is primarily an outside cat. He still comes in sometimes. Well, last week when he came inside we noticed he looked a little thinner. He ended up doing nothing but laying in practically the same spot for 2 whole days, only getting up to use the cat box and to eat. He still pretty much just lays and sleeps all day, but he's gone back outside voluntarily a few times and goes throughout the house sometimes now, too. His belly still seems fairly plump and not skinny, but if you run your hand along his back you can totally feel ALL his back bones and everything! Any idea what would cause anything like this? Thanks!!

Why do cats bring home mice and other little creatures uneaten? Do you think its 'cause the treats at home taste better than wild kills?

My cat was two years old this past July, we are getting new furniture and he destroyed my old furniture! Is it too late to get him declawed before the new furniture arrives? Meaning is he too old?

Don't worry, I know his front claws are his only defense--BUT he is a TOTAL indoor cat--NEVER outside!
