Cats - October 2007

He is only about 7 to 8 months old, and eats both dry and wet food.
I recently found one of his teeth, and noticed he doesn't have canine's (also known as "fangs") on either side of his bottom jaw.
Should I be concerned or were they just baby teeth that will grow back?
And does this affect his ability to eat?

I didn't even think to ask the vet at first, left her a message today, but no call back yet. Does anyone know? Right now, I haven't thrown any out, just storing the used ones in a coffee can with a top, but not sure what to do with them now?

Hello there. Earlier one of my cats was found eaten alive. She was ripped in half, from her armpits down. Everything was consumed below that point, her spine and lower feet were picked to the bone, and there was no fur. I live in a residential area, with some farming. She was found near a creak, where there is alot of grass. Any ideas on what ate her?

She is 10 months old and the previous owner called her Diva. I just don't like it and really want a name we have chosen for her. However my daughter and i cannot agree on anything! We have a dog called Sassy, so what's a good opposite name to Sassy (apart from Diva!).
Thanks.

We have an atrium in our home that is open to the sky. Birds perch on the roof and sometimes their droppings fall into our tiled atrium. Our cats are indoor cats but are allowed to go into the atrium because it is completely enclosed and safe from the outdoor hazards of coyotes, cars, etc. But I've noticed that one of the kitties seems to be eating something on the floor of the atrium and I suspect that it can be excrement from the birds. If it is true, it is totally gross and not typical of my fastidious little animals. Any ideas out there?

My husband and I rescued a 5 week old kitten and he seems to be teething and other than giving him harder food is there anything we can do to help him? If he was human then I would know what to do but I feel so sorry for him and don't know what to do to help him.

our nine-year-old cat's been in an animal hospital since thursday night. he's fairly alert now. we've been given the option to visit him at the vet's (he can't come home for at least another day). should we? do you think it'd be mean, like teasing him, that we'd get him happy that we were going to take him home and then completely let him down? or do you think it might be just comforting? would we associate us with the animal hospital?

My friend has a cat who is trained to do this. I refuse to share the bathroom, when I visit, with a cat. Its just wierd to me. Not as though a box of sand/poop in a corner is any better. Maybe its just because I'm a dog person. Whats your opinion?

My cat, Sophia, was hit by a truck last night. It broke one of her back legs and resulted in a hernia. We weren't able to get her into the vet until this morning, and they said they aren't going to operate until Monday. Has anyone gone thru this before? What are her chances of making it through this? How serious are hernias?

Please prey for my girl, Sophia, she's my baby and I love her so much. Thank you everyone for any help.

we noticed it just yesterday right after our guinea pig died that they're was white cloudy stuff in his right eye. He seems to be able to see fine and it doesn't look like it is bothering him. Is it something that will go away or should we take him to the vet incase of infection?

Yesterday my 2 1/2 yr old Domestic shorthair Spot passed away SUDDENLY from a blood clot in his heart. ZERO warning signs, and I awoke to the sounds of my 2 yr old Callico Lexi yelping and trying to wake me up. Baffled, I went out in the living room, didn't see Spot. Then lying right in the middle of our kitchen floor there he was. He sadly passed away in the middle of the night.
Fast forward to late last night: Lexi meows ALOT now, is searching nearly every room for her beloved playmate, but sadly he is up in kitty cat Heaven. I "talked" to her telling her that her "step brother" is in a better place now. But she insists on clinging to my side now more than ever, she used to never sleep next to me and my girlfriend, and now she will lie next to me on my pillow. I can tell (I know, this sounds dumb) that she is depressed, and that she was "at Spot's side" when he passed away. What can I do to help her?

My cat likes lazing around just about anywhere, but mostly in the flower beds. For several weeks now he has had these horrible looking blood sucking insects stuck to his head. He gets about 4 or 5 a week. My husband has to pull them out - they have wiggly legs, their body is grey and the more blood they suck the bigger their body gets - gross eh! We dab infected area with disinfectant, but am a bit worried. Could they be causing damage? They don't seem to annoy him at all. Has anyone else encountered this problem with their cat picking up parasites from outdoors? Thanks

Okay, we have had a female cat named Whiskers for her whole life (about 8 years) and we are considering getting a female kitten. Whiskers is an indoor cat that we let in the backyard for a half an hour a day, she is spayed, declawed, and has only had another cat in the house when she was a kitten herself.
Whiskers has an amazing personality and we don't want to get a kitten if she is going to change forever. She is funny, cute, hyper, and cuddly. Do you think a kitten would change her?
Should we get a kitten or not?

I went to our local animal sanctuary to find that they wanted £70 for one kitten and £120 for one dog, I must admit that that did include getting them neutered and jabs etc but I would have got that done myself anyway and cheaper at the PDSA. I realise that they have to be funded by donations etc I just thought that was a bit steep and surely it will discourage people from going to them and more people will buy privately for cheaper, I would have loved to get kittens from a shelter but I cant cough up £140 in one go (want to get 2) and kitten season is over soon so I have had to look privately, I have had a cat before so I know of the expense but it's ok when it's in dribs and drabs.

I live in an apartment that does not allow pets and I have 2 cats. The cats were recently discovered by the land lady and she gave us no other option but to get rid of the cats. They have been staying at a friend's house for about 2 months now and we are thinking about sneaking them back in until our lease is up.

I figure the solution would be to keep them away from the windows. The only window that would be a problem would be a large window in the living room. They like to get on the window sill (naturally) and we are trying to figure out a solution in keeping them away from there. Any one have any suggestions??
