Cats - September 2007

I am feeding a beautiful wild stray cat and would like to domesticate it. It seems to have worms and I would like to get it spayed or neutered. I have been feeding it, now, for weeks but will come no closer than about three feet to my outstretched hand. How can I humanely trap it? I want to get it to the vet before it goes into heat and continues the cycle.

What is the reason behind this strange symbiotic relationship between us humans and our feline counterparts?

I just put my cat to sleep on Thursday and I have been having horrible nightmares that we buried her alive, and this may sound silly but I need to know that the vet makes absolutley sure that she was dead (he put her straight into the box and I was not in the room when it happened) . Also I dont know what she was sick from if anyone could tell me I would be grateful. Her symptoms included trouble breathing, sudden urination everywhere, loss of appetite, she became lethargic, she had what I can only describe as gunk in her eyes I assume that this was from crying, and she stopped grooming herself, and she layed completly stretched out she never curled up anymore. Even through all this she was still very loving and purred right up to the end.

When answering please dont joke I just lost her, and I had fluffy for 14 years.

so my mom decided to go to the animal shelter and get the oldest cat there so it could have a better life. we had 4 other cats at the time. we were keeping Gracie in my older sister's room until she was settled in. the dog was not being that mean but the other cats were. we have had the cat for maybe 2-3 months now and she still has to stay in my sisters room. she can only be around Chloe. Chloe is old and does not try to hurt anyone. chase can come in but he does not attack her he just comes up to her and she gets mad. we take very good care of our pets and we did not see this coming. i really want Gracie to be happy. how can we handle this? i feel terrible. any advice would be wonderful.

serious answers only please

Hello, I am the proud owner of a senior citizen cat named Dusty. Dusty is 11 years old, strictly indoor, and has had no major health problems in the past. Lately he has become a lot more 'clingy' around me, and has started vocalizing a lot. He used to never 'talk' to me but now he is meowing so much it has become a nusiance. He has also started defecating outside the litter box, which is very unlike him.

Is all of this because of old age? If so, should I take him to the vet? Any info is appreciated!

Thanks,
MissBuggsy & Dusty

We recently got a border collie mix. Now that he and our cat have gotten used to each other, they are playing and have become great friends. But one behavior of the cat's really has us puzzled. He seems to get off on sticking his muzzle as far as possible into the dog's ears...licking, rubbing his face over the area, holding onto the dog's head for dear life so the dog won't pull away. The cat does this at every opportunity when the dog will allow it. Actually, the dog seems to like it, but the cat acts like he is high on catnip after doing this. It's funny as all get-out, but why does he do it?

I have a male kitten, about 4 months old, not yet fixed.

I've heard terrible things about male cats and their tendency to "spray"... but I am not sure when this starts, and what steps can be taken to prevent it from happening.

He will be getting fixed very soon, but is he likely to start spraying afterward? How can I protect my furniture? Is there an age when male cats begin to spray? Do ALL male cats spray? Is there a possibility that he may not spray at all?

Thank you so much for your help!

My 16 month old female cat, Chloe, came down with what we thought was a cold, a week ago. Symptoms include fatigue, sneezing and watery eyes. I called the vet earlier in the week and they said to keep an eye on it and call if it got worse. Well, by week's end, she didn't look like she could shake it on her own, so I called the vet again. The vet came on Friday (mobile vet) and prescribed Clavamox tabets, and gave her the first one before she left. Since then she is more fatigued and has no energy, just laying under the bed, and is not interested in food or water. I tried wet food b/c I hear that smells more appealing to them, and she won't touch that either. She is just not herself. I called the on call vet this AM and they said to stop the medicine (which she hasn't had today anyway), and if she starts eating again, cut the dosage in 1/2, and if she still isn't eating, call them on Monday. But now, I'm getting worried that I should take her to the ER vet. WWYD?

Yesterday I found a stray cat and she is the sweetest thing ever. She's in need of attention, and I really want to keep her, but I'm going to wait a week to see if any lost posters come up. I found small fleas on her and I was wondering if they could easily get onto my clothing and into my house if I pet her. I've heard a lot of about fleas infesting the house and I'm kind of paranoid that I'll bring it inside with me. (I'm going to bring her to the vet and give her Frontline in case nobody claims her, but I don't want to spend the $ if she is somebody else's cat already)
Can anyone give me helpful advice? Also how much does deworming and frontline and all that stuff cost?

My cat is 17 years old. She's got thyroid problems, and is on pills for them. She's doing quite well, except for the fact that she's peeing in the house...She has a litterbox in our laundry room, which she poops in, but she pees in our plants, in the corners of our rooms, on newspapers...etc. My mom is sick of it, and wants to get her put to sleep. It seems like such a terrible reason to put her to death when otherwise she's healthy. Is there anything we can do to get her not to pee in the house? I'm not exactly sure why she wont use her litterbox. But, if you have any suggestions, I'll try anything!
