I have a beautiful cat and he often stares at me like saying that he adores me, waiting for me to acknowledge him, while purring the entire time. He is so cute! Does your cat do the same?

I live in a dorm room with a roommate and we reciently got a kitten. She's about 6 weeks old and is very good, most of the time.

The problem is that cats, or animals in general except fish, are illegal in the dorm rooms and Kodi (that's her name) won't stop meowing.

Any ideas on how to keep her quiet/ how to hide her?

I wrote a question about this earlier and only recieved ugly comments and nasty hints about how terrible my roommate and I are and how we are mean, almost homicidal people who are torturing our cat in the middle of the night.

Truth: we both are experianced cat people and just need some advice about inside cats.

Please only answer this if you have constructive advice. Thankyou.

Would cats ever reproduce with their parents? This is a serious question. I've always wondered that. If cats do this, would dogs too?

I've had cats all my life, and I've noticed that a lot of them like to lay on papers. Usually my school books, notes, or homework I have spread out in front of me. Also, newspapers and magazines. Anytime I spread out a newspaper to read, my cat lays right in the middle.

And one of my cats seems to get high off the smell of newsprint or something, because he'll go totally crazy when he gets around newspaper, trying to burrow under it, running across it and sliding across the room, wrestling it and tearing it--it literally makes him act crazy. You leave him in a room with a newspaper for five minutes, and you'll find it spread ALL over the room by the time you return.

So... Why do cats like to lay on homework?
And... Does newspaper make anyone else's cat go INSANE?

OK, my family just got a new Siamese kitten a month or so ago, and we just discovered that he has fleas. (or at least I think they are fleas--they're small, black, and were crawling in the fur by the top of his head) I don't understand how he has fleas because he has never been allowed outside of the house before, and we checked the other cat (who is allowed outside) and he is completely flea-free. This new kitten, however, has recently been catching mice in the unfinished part of our basement, something the other cat has never done, so I'm wondering if he somehow got the fleas from these mice.
Only, I read online that mice don't get fleas they get mites, and if so what's the difference? I read something else that if mice do have fleas, the fleas are really dangerous and can pass on diseases to not only cats but humans. Can anyone help me out???
I sort of have a phobia of lice and fleas and things like that, so I'm really freaking out and would appreciate any help.

If you were going to adopt a cat from a rescue group, would a $100 adoption fee seem a lot if the cat comes already fixed, vaccinated, tested for disease, and all up to date on vet care?

I'm not sure letting him outside is a good idea.... we live in an apartment complex with lots of other cats and when I let him outside for the first time since my fiance and I found him (he was a stray), he attacked another cat. When he has built up energy, he ends up shooting back and forth across the apartment at high speed and trying to touch him when he is like this is dangerous because he might bite you or scratch you. When he's not crazed, he's a very nice cat and he has a great personality, but apparently he's not good around other cats and he did seem to go a little crazy when we let him out. Also, he was neutered when we found him, so don't tell me I need to neuter my cat...

About a month ago introduced my other 2 cats that my brother was watching for me. At first the cats were kind of standoffish as could be expected but started to get along after about a week, within the last week however my kitten has been getting beat up by the other 2 cats and has gotten quite the cut slightly above his right rear leg. We have treated it a few times clearing away the puss and then putting on polysporin. The cut almost entirely healed... but now my cat is having a real hard to breathing his stomach is contracting in and out and he can be heard breathing through his mouth and nose, he doesnt seem to have an apitite and very little energy.

I understand the best option is the bring him to the vet however I am broke and cannot afford the rates of the emergency clinic.
Im wondering if someone else has had this kind of experience before or knowledge of this and has any ideas on how I can help him. and is this related to the fighting?

Thanks In Advance

My roommate and I were going to buy gerbils. Being the people we are, we ended up impulsively buying a cat.

We live in the dorms at a small private college where animals - even gerbils - are illegal to have in the dorms. Being the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants type people we are, we ignored this rule.

We've had our cat for two days now and it has been going alright, but she won't keep quiet. People have heard her in the halls.

HOW DO WE HIDE AN ILLEGAL CAT IN THE DORM ROOMS?

ps: do you think getting a second cat would help?

So the tree has been up and trimmed for 3 hours and my two seven month old darlings have only knocked off 1 ornament. Am I feeling too lucky just yet? Does this give you hope for your tree? I think it's due to the fact that I hung a crappy little tree instead of my big heirloom beauty. They would have mauled it I'm sure. Yay! Christmas with kittens! What's funner than that?

I think my cat my have Hernia.He is a Manx and about 6 months old.We seem to think it happen from an accident that happened today.My dad was cutting branches off trees and my cat was outside with him.My cat was on the deck and my dad was going up to pet him and he got scared and jumped off the top steps (About 10 feet), he landed on his feet but landed on one side I think.This is what my dad told me.Then we were giving him a bath and when we were drying him with a blow dryer we notice sorta like a sac of water in the lower part of his belly,we seemed to think it was fat bulging down(he is a little overweight) but then when he stood on 4 legs he still had it.My dad says it was Hernia and, from another website I read it could be Umbilical Hernias.We are going to take him to get spayed soon,so we will ask the doctor, but if it serious we will take him tomorrow morning right away.I need to know if it is Umbilical Hernias and if it is what should I do?It isn't that large and is soft.Thanks!

My cat has become almost OCD with this constant need to jump on me, try to lick my mouth and then spend about 10 minutes "kneading bread" on me... what's the deal??

I am mom to an elderly DSH tabby cat. She is very affectionate. I give her both canned food and prescription dry. I have had to change the type of canned food I give her several times in what seems to be a whacky cycle. She'll love a food I give her and then a few months later, decide, nah, I don't like it anymore. So I'll give her something else, and she'll go bonkers eating it, but a few months later lose her taste for it. So I'll switch to another brand.

Is it unheard of for cats to do this--decide they don't like the brand you've been giving them for several months and want something else?
