I know its not fleas, becouse I just bought them flea collers. I think they might have ear mights or something. whatever it is, its not bothering any other part but there head and ears. But I think it has to do with there ears. All four of them have whatever it is. There outside cats so they could get it at anytime. And if it helps they live in a hay barn. Iam going to walmart to see if they have anything. But I want to know what everyone else thinks, it is. Thanks!!

My sister was petting him and he was licking himself and she noticed little white things around his butt. She keeps saying they are moving but I haven't seen one move, but I looked up cat worms and one of them said it's like the egg and it moves when it's first passed. I forgot which one though, anyway he is on my bed right now, should I wash all my bedding before I go to bed and keep him off my bed until we can get the worm situation under control?

we took in 2 kittens and had them for a little over a month before realizing they had fleas. we've since made them outside cats again so they are never inside but we still have a ton of fleas. can they lay eggs in the carpet or with the pets outside will the spraying and vacuuming eventually get rid of all of them?

She is 13 weeks (3 months) old and has a habit of clawing things and climbing what she shouldnt. I know some people dont believe in it but she is going to be an indoor only cat and doesn't need the front two claws and I think itd be better to declaw her front paws so she cant accidentally scratch my young children.

I am a dog person but found an article about these cats. I didn't realize that there are 'designer cats' like there are dogs. My foolishness, but there are cat people, dog people and the people that love both:)

http://www.lifestylepets.com/cats.html

If you click on the bottom 'click here to order' they also have other cats mixes for sale.

I know that dog people don't like the new 'designer dogs' that are out there and just wanted your thoughts. Do you know anyone that has a cat like this? Would you spend this much money on a cat when there are so many beautiful kittens/cats up for adoption at shelters?

Wouldn't their claws tear up your furniture, not to mention the size of their body and teeth!! I think my dogs would run from them:)

Anyway, just wanted your thoughts

Kittens seem to be getting sick, weepy eyes and eye problems, etc. Some breeders make you agree not to use them. Others have had kittens that seem to react badly to them with lasting consequences.

Right now my fiance and I live on a friends family country road and have been her for over a year. Its a long gravel road far from the highway with only his family along either side. Everyone here lets their pets outside, they all get along fine and because of this everyone takes extra special caution to watch out when driving down the road. Now we are about to buy a house that is right on a main road, and as of now with no fence. We have 4 cats. They have all been inside/outside for the past year and love it. They never venture of far here, usually you can find them lounging on the steps and they know they have to come in for food and they somtimes use the litter box if they are in. I only have a few ideas for after the move. The best I came up with is slowly bringing them inside more now.Then after the move screening in the porch so they have have a mock-outside and taking leashed walks. There is an extra bed we could also have cat friendly plants in with big windows. Any other ideas

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this.

Our family cat has had a small boil, looks like a blister but isn't on his lip for about I think two weeks now & it bothers him sometimes. How can I treat it from getting worse without going to the vet?

I've heard cats are prone to absesses. Is this true also?

Thank you in advance.

Long time ago I heard stories that cats killed their owners in sleep, special with the Siamese breed.
Is it true?
Thank you for the answers!

keeps jumping on my kitchen counters and licking the dishes. I have a 3 week old so sometimes I have plates in the sink or on the counter until I can get around to washing them, we don't have a dishwasher. And even when she has food in her bowl, she will hop her little as$ up there and lick my dishes. How can I stop this? And for Christmas, will there be a problem with her trying to eat the tree?

Same situation, different question.

We took in what we thought was a stray kitten a few days ago, and when we did, he was sick and swarming with fleas and tapeworms. His nails weren't trimmed and his little face was dirty. It was really gross.

Now a family is claiming that he's their cat. This makes me very angry because if they are the owners they should be ashamed of themselves. If they take me to court, do you think I could prove neglect?

Hi,outside my home are 2 wild kittens with their mother which is very wild.The kittens are about 4 month old and they do hiss wen you come close.About 2 weeks ago I start to let them come in the kitchen where they eat and sleep,while their mother was coming and pull them out from the kitchen.Amazing!The mother is VERY VERY protective.Once she charge at me and I got peaty scared.Anyway I used to feed them from my hand but for the past 2 weeks they disappeared and I start to ask the neighbors about them and by "miracle" they start to come back.Probably some one kept them locked.I think that for as long their mother is around I have no chance to domesticate them if its not to late.It is ok to separate them if the mother is so protective?I love the kittens, their mother loves them too, but I can offer them more(a warm house, plenty of good food, etc.).What to do?To take them when they come eat in the kitchen and keep them locked until they forgot their mother?Also we have to move soon.

My cat keeps on deciding that instead of peeing in her litter box, she is going to pee in my bed. Now, She does pee in her litter box but every once in awhile it is in the bed. She has stained both sides of my mattress and I need to figure out how to make her stop.

Should I try changing the type of litter we use? I have punished her and all that good stuff but i need something else to get through to her. I don't want to get rid of her.

Both my cat and dog have broken out with small crusty bumps on their back and hind quarters. There is no sign of fleas, no change in food and nothing that I can tell that has changed in their living styles. Any idea what it might be. I am positive that neither has fleas. Can cats and dogs share infections or perhaps its an allergy? A couple of months ago my cat broke out with the same bumps and she got a shot from the vet to cure it but the dog has never had this problem. Also are there any non-vet prescribed remedies that I can administer to relieve the itching?

someone told me to buy a dog so it can chase them around.

I already took him to the vet, and gave him some shots, but they were expensive and can't keep giving it to him every month (they cost about 30 dollars each)
He doesn't have fleas or anything, he's healthy in the inside.
His belly is naked, along with inside of legs and back of paw.
People have told me it could be stress, but there's nothing to stress him out, except maybe a cat that he plays with once in a while that my mom doesn't always allow inside my house. (The cat is my land lord's, and has been chewing his fur off too) Maybe they wanna play together but can't? And are stressed by it?
What could I do??
