i'm getting a kitten, hopefully an orange, domestic-short hair. what i cant decide is to get a boy or girl. no matter what it will be "fixed". we want to have a playful, yet cuddly kitten that will grow up to be the same as an adult. she/he will be alone for about 6 hours during the day. please give me some advice on what to keep the kitten in during the day (for the first few weeks, after that we'll just let it roam) and whether to get a boy or a girl! thanks! sorry its sooo long :(

My cat likes to play in the bathroom sink and drink from it too. She doesn't mind getting wet. She also sticks her head in the fish bowl. What about yours?

last saturday when i wasnt home, my 1 year old daughter got to him and "cuddled" him...to death. There was a fair amount of blood involved. When i got home and my hubby told me i just lost it and cryed for 2 days straight. I feel so guilty, and so sick thinking about it, i know my little girl can't be blamed because she had no idea. but i am completely traumatised now, what an awful way to go. Has it happened to anyone else?? how do you get over it...

he thinks that the local hoodies may have hurt it, however i don't think this is the case what do you think the chances are of him getting his cat back after 4 weeks.

I took my beautiful angora/persian mixed cat in for a grooming. I asked for a shampoo, comb and for his belly and tail area to be shaved. The technician SHAVED HIM BALD! I am distraught and my cat is traumatized. Can anyone tell me how long it will take for the fur to grow back? and will it grow back to it's previous length?

My cat(s) keep tearing up the role of toilet paper at night (or probably when ever) when I put it on the roller in the bathroom. Their litter box is in the bathroom so I can not lock them out. Is there some kind if scent that they do not like or something that I can do to prevent this?

Recently I asked a question about a pesky raccoon that keeps coming around and eating the food i leave of for four, fixed, vaccinated feral cats. I dont like that hes around but my neighbors have FREAKED when they see it, and are ready to take action.To make things worse, the local TV news had a story about wild rabid raccoons in the area that have been attackg peoples pets
Granted feeding strays really isnt allowed under my city ordinace and laws, but Ive explained to all my neighbors that deligently trapped all the ferals, had them fixed and vaccinated, and they all seemed appreciative and supportive of what ive done and wont file any complaints or call animal control on me. However with this raccoon on the loose they are ready to call animal control out to set traps, and im certain some of the fixed feral cats will stumble into the traps and be taken away/euthanized. What should I do? I still have a humane trap and im serious considering trapping and relocating the raccoon myself.

Okay I declawed my cat a few months ago, we needed to it was either that or get rid of her because she was tearing up our apartment we rent, as Graduate students paying for ripped screens would not be good. Anyways the vet that did was supposed to be board certfied but they really messed it up. They used to much glue and it fused to her bones, so she had to have another surgery where they removed the glue. She still walks with a limp, its been about 4 months. She is now going to another, better vet who said it could be due to nerve damage!!! She has been on pain meds and we love her so much Is there anything we can do or does anybody have any ideas as to what the problem could be? We do physical therapy with her every day (vet recommended we massage her paws). If worst comes to worst the vet says it will be a perminant limp.. what else can we do?

About 2 1/2 weeks ago I treated my cat with a frontline-type product, bombed my bedroom, washed all the bedding and bed clothes, vacuumed, and sprayed some anti-flea spray. Now, they're back. What should I do? Can fleas live in mattress?

I love my Maine Coon Tortoiseshell and white cat. The only problem is she can get a bit annoying. She's the friendliest cat I have ever met, and she loves to greet you and lick you. The only problem is when I am on my computer, she loves to sit in front of the keyboard and mouse so I can't work. Is she doing this just to annoy me? I ask because when I pick her up and hold her in bed, she purrs and purrs but only stays a couple minutes. She will sit in front of my keyboard all day long. I pick her up and put her down, but she jumps right back up. I have put her down like 50 times in a row before, but she still kept jumping back up. What can I do to stop this annoying behavior?

My landlord called and told me he'd be showing my apt. I was out today and unable to do some finishing up touches for an apartment showing like finish my dishes, pick my up dirty clothes, and clear my tables of papers. I told him it was messy but I am not around as much as a warning before he showed anyone "today". Another day would be different.

Anyway, he proceeded to ask me that if I was gone, "Do you still have your cat?"

I told him, "yes."

He said, "If you are not home I would like you to remove your cat from the building then."

I'm told him, "If I'm not home it be no more than a weekend visiting parents."

He told me, "Still, then you should get rid of your cat."

I can understand his concern that cats get naughty, but never once was I told, "You can have a cat UNLESS you decide to leave for the weekend."

I had to move my cats' food bowls and litter boxes because we're re-arranging everything in the house to make room for a new baby. It's not the first time I've moved the litter boxes, but it is the first time I've moved the food.

One of my cats, a 5 year old spayed female, has been freaking out ever since I moved her stuff. She still goes to where the food bowl used to be and cries for hours, she's been running all over the house top speed all fluffed up and being really mean to the other cat. I've shown her where the food and litter box are a dozen times and she's eaten and used the box, but she's still acting crazy.

I know it takes a while for cats to get used to changes in their environment, but it's been a week and she's still doing this. There's no possibility of putting everything back where it was because that room is going to be the baby's room. I'm going to go insane too if this doesn't stop soon. What can I do?

My 2 Kittens have fleas. If I were to give the kittens away, how long would the fleas survive in my home without the kittens?

I am pretty sure that fleas have dropped off the kittens' backs into the cracks in my home.

It's proven difficult to keep two kittens. I just fear that the kittens even after treatment will become reinfected with the fleas, and I have a small child, and I don't want the fleas to endanger her.
