I'm planning on moving to the west coast, and I'm going to drive from texas, (between 20-35 hrs) with my two cats. I was wondering if it would be better to put them both in a large breed dog carrier or keep them in seperate cat carriers? The cat carriers have just enough space for them to stand up, lay down, turn around, but aren't really very big, so I feel kind of bad for cramping them, but I'm afraid that a dog carrier may be too big, they may get tossed around more or something.

My cat just gave birth behind our entertainment center. I made a place for her, but I miscalculated when she was do. She didn't have time to nest there. How long should I wait before moving mommy and babies? They are difficult to get to and I'm afraid of moving them separately. Does anyone have any suggestions

I adopted a kitten from a rescue agency two weeks ago, and since then, my kitten (14 weeks now) has had little seizures. When she gets startled or is even just taking a rest, she'll all of a sudden start shaking and have saliva foaming up by her mouth. She cowards down and it usual is over in about two minutes. Have you ever heard of this? I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow, but I just was curious if you had any ideas??? It has happened approximately eight times that I've witnessed.

Around here in all the small towns people just go around shooting cats and kittens, becase there are too many or they think they are pest. They will also do the same with dogs once in a while but not as often just as a way to get rid of them. The things is there is really nothing we can do because there are no humane soceitys or shelters the closest one is 30 miles away and they only have a 15 mile radius and the cops just ignore the complaints. We and my freinds have been saveing wild kittens out on a farm just because the lady is going to shoot them for no reason and it happens all the time. Got other ideas, and what do you think about these situations and what the people do?

I was just wondering if its normal for a kitten to lose a bit of weight when switching from milk to canned food, ive been raising them myself, someone abandoned them on my doorstep, anyways, they're around 4 weeks old, i believe, and are just now switching to canned food, the kittens have lost a little weight recently, and i mean they feel really skinny. Is this normal? These are my first kittens, they do gobble down the canned food and are now drinking water seperate from a bowl. Any help would do. Thanks :)

i got my cat last Thursday. I recieved her pregnant, full of fleas, has tapeworms, and is skinny. She is very large, and I am anxious to know when she will give birth. I can see always see babies moving, her nipples are big and have fur loss, She sleep and eats alot, she seems to be somewhat active at night, and she was panting a day ago. My concerns with the kittens, is that she has tapeworms and fleas. As the vet said, we had applied flea medicine two days ago( Frontline) and tapeworm medicine today. I heard this could cause harm to the babies, is there major concerns I should be worried about? Almost all of her fleas are gone now. And last night, she was laying on the couch in a unusual postition, and she wouldnt let anyone touch her. Can anyone help? Her pic is my avatar, and by that you can see how big she is. If you go to the link below, you can see how much her belly is moving.

I have a female cat that just had a litter and I was planning on getting her spayed... however I noticed she is gaining weight like she did last time she was pregnant.
My question is could she get pregnant just after having a litter?

I moved home a month ago after being on my own for a month, and brought my two female cats with me (they're a year old). The problem lies with my mom's 8-year old female cat, who doesn't want them in 'her' house. I keep my cats in my room all day (their food and litter is in there), so when anyone gets home after work, we let them out and they run around and get their energy out like they're supposed to. Any time they encounter my mom's cat, they get into hissing fights and 'bat' each other with their paws. It hasn't gotten really bad yet, but it's literally been four weeks since we moved there, and it hasn't gotten any better. Any suggestions how we can improve the situation? Has anyone else gone through this, and if so, how long did it take for the dust to settle??

My beautiful cat whom I've had for seventeen years was put to sleep last night by a vet.

For a while she'd been going downhill, but was still so, so loving. Only that morning she had jumped on my bed for a snuggle.

Late yesterday I had discovered she'd vomited a clear, foamy vomit. I also noticed blood drops on the floor - she had blood in her urine and couldn't control the dripping. As any responsible pet owner would, I rushed her to an emergency vet clinic. I was then told that if I was to medicate her, it would only prolong her life, not make her better. I was given the option of euthanasia and after assessing my fear of losing her, to her pain, I chose the right option: to have her put to sleep.

It happened so fast and I'm shocked. I just NEED to know if I didn't chose to have her put to sleep, would have the blood in the urine have stopped? Did I make the wrong decision? I just miss my cat so much and would like to hear from anyone who has experienced this.

I have four cats. Two of which were mine and the other two which are Devon Rexes, came with my financee when he moved in this past January. All four cats seem to get along fine now. The cats range in age from my neutered black and white male who is 3, my spayed female calico who is 2 and my finacees two spayed female Devon's that are sisters and are 3 years old. The Devon's have started walking on me and meowing in the middle of the night while I am trying to sleep. I'm at a loss what to do. If I pen them, as well as the other cats, out of the bedroom they paw and cry a the bedroom door. The Devon's do play with each other and the other two cats in the house. They started doing this a few weeks ago while my financee was at work. He works third shift. Now they do it even on nights he has off and is home with me. They have an autofeeder that is full of dry food, a cat water foutain and get canned food every morning.

I have a solid black petite cat who I've named Rio Negra--because she's black and we found her at the river. We call her Ree for short. Me and my partner make up "Ree-words" for example..

What does Rio call her claws and teeth? -- cutler-ree
What is Rio's favorite branch of the government? --Judiciar-ree
What do you call it when Rio participates in a council? --Advisor-ree...
What do you call this list of Ree-words? --A dictionar-ree...

Get it? We do this a lot and it usually makes us laugh..but when I try to explain it.... I usually get a blank sort of look..

What do you think? I'm just weird huh? NO MEANIES!!!

My daughter just adopted a lovely kitten born on July 10, 2007. We took the kitten when he was 2 weeks old. Kitten has been eating and developing very well. Tomorrow the kitten turns 4 weeks old and I'm looking for advice on how to train him to use the litter box, get him to eat by himself, learn the house rules ( we live in an apartment), and be loving and well mannered. We also want to make sure we are doing what is necessary for his well being. Tips on good books or web sites are also welcomed.
We also have two toddlers at home age 3.5 and 2 years old. What are ways to train the kids to be gentle and kind to the cat?
Thanks

My cat is so skinny lately. She is an outdoor cat so she comes in contact with other cats a lot. She has also caught a few birds before so we are afraid that she might have a worm in her system. It seems that almost anything she eats she vomits out. We cannot afford to take her to the veteranarian. Is there any medication I can buy for her to make her healthy again? Please help I am really worried.

I've always used revolution for cats because it not only takes care of fleas but most other parasites. I didnt realize that it required a RX from a vet and the vet im now going too doesnt write prescriptions for that stuff because he doesnt like it....is there another alternative to revolution that will help with fleas, ticks, ringworm, ear mites, etc????

Last night out of the blue our cat started running all around the house going crazy. He climbed the blinds, ran crazy through out the house, jumped high in the air over things, acted like he was chasing something when there was nothing to chase and so on. Once he was done, he flopped on the kitchen floor and went to sleep. Why do cats do this for?

We have a kitten who we think is around 6months old and she has just recently started calling (or so we think, she is a lot less agressive than normal and is rubbing around everything and meowing a lot while laying on the floor). Would you say that this is typical behaviour of a kitten who is calling? And when is the best time to get her spade if she is? We have been advised by a relative to wait until she is not calling to get her done because if you get them done when they are calling they tend to stay in this behaviour pattern, but given the fact that she is a lot calmer and generally a nicer cat when she is calling should we get her spade now or wait until she is no longer calling as advised? So confused! Help!

I have a 5 year old siamese who has been regurgitating his food one or two times a day. I asked the vet and she said it was normal, but he keeps throwing up on the couch, floor, bed, everywhere! Is there something to do to help him to stop? A special type of food maybe?
