Cats - November 2007

She got spayed on Tuesday and has taken it pretty hard since. She doesn't want to move and when you pet her she acts annoyed. We took her to the vet today and he said it was just likely due to her poor recovery. Now she is home again and is having short labored breaths and is still not interested in moving. I don't know if she is just in pain or what. Has anyone else ever had a bad spay/neuter story they could share. I'm just afraid she is dying a slow death...

I found an abandoned kitten and have been nursing him back to health and he has been doing really well. But, today I noticed his eyes looked a little strange. There is a white membrane showing on both eyes in the inner corners. He is able to see but I am not sure what could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated!! I don't have the money to take him to the vet so would appreciate help! Thanks

It's been farting a lot so a lot of gas, and hasn't eaten anything so far (dry food) I don't have any wet food..and I'm afraid to give it milk because it might have diarrhea and it has pooped once. What are the symptoms of worms, and does my cat match any of them? Wer'e going to go to the Vet on Monday.

Tigsy gave birth to 5healthy little kittens last night.
Are kittens born with fleas? As I found one on one of the kittens and yet mum is defleaed.

Where and what can I buy to use on kittens and nursing mum to get rid of the fleas?

When do I need to worm them? and can I use panacur paste from such an early age?

Thanks

I just got a new kitten and when we get her fixed, we were going to only get her front claws declawed. Only because I have a dog, and my dog loves cats, but we feel that if she scratches my dog, my dog might not understand. We did it with our last cat, and they got along great, except my cat started peeing everywhere after she was declawed. We just heard that it was because we declawed her? Is it true? Will that always happen? And will my new cat do anything else?

Ok, I need some serious answers on this one.

I have 3 cats - 2 are 4 years old and the other is 9 yrs. They have all been together for 3 years now and have gotten along fine up until recently. We moved into our new apartment 2 weeks ago today and haven't had any problems until the day before yesterday. My flame point siamese(very sensitive and a big spoiled brat baby) started hissing at the other 2 for no reason at all. Mainly the oldest one. There are no health issues, all get the same amount of attention, absolutely NOTHING has changed from the normal. Since he's the spoiled baby he usually gets all the attention. To discipline him I put him in another room for a "time out" so he can chill - yes just like a child. He spends abount 5 - 10 mins in there and comes out, if he continues it goes to 15 mins.

He knows I'm the alpha cat so he won't hurt me but he'll hiss at me and I won't beat him. I just don't understand what his issue is all of the sudden.

well i have a FAT cat heres a picture lol

I had her since i was in 2nd grade and im now in 10th grade so she is around 8 years old. She is in perfect health besides being fat. My friend had a dream that she died and last night i had a dream that she died. Now i am worried why would we both have the same dreams. Is it a sign or nothing to worry about. We have tried putting her on a diet but we have 2 other healthy cats and they eat her food. so i always put just 3 bowls out. But i try to make hers the smaller proportion. Also she doesnt like going outside for exersize cause she was declawd a few years ago.

I have a 6 month old kitten who, in the course of her life, has chewed up a turquoise necklace (the stones chewed off of the thread), chewed books, chewed papers, etc. Lately she has been jumping up the walls to try to tear a map off of the wall; I taped tinfoil to the corners of the map to discourage her, so this morning instead she sat by my bookcase and chewed on the corner of a book.
I can't spray bitter apple on most of the things that she chews, and I'd rather not coat my entire bedroom in tinfoil. Any suggestions? This has been occuring, off and on, since I got her 3 months ago.

Had her 8 days now. First she wouldn't eat at all then I got her to eat dried food. Now she won't anything else, what do I do dried food is not a complete diet. Getting her to eat at all was like spoonfeeding a baby she seems too dependant on me. She is one year old got her from someone in a flat who can no longer keep her. Also she keeps trying to come into my bedroom at with me. Is when she rolls on her back a good sign as well

For all of you animal-know-it-all's out there, or if there happens to be a vet/vet tech on line... i really need this answered...
about two days ago i woke up ... walked down my stairs, and came down in my living room only to find blood on my floor and a cat trembling on its side with blood or what definitely looked like blood, coming from its mouth. The cat died. Later on i found that my other cat, also looked very injured. it's back was wet and a lot of its fur was gone, (it had been losing fur previously), and it isn't walking normal. it's (he's) using it's (his) legs yet his but is hanging low and nearly dragging on the ground... ... does anyone out there know if my cat is dying or if i can do anything to help him... anyone know what's wrong with him?

Dear cat lovers,
I have two cats. Both female. an 8 year old, and the most recent addition, a 1 year old. The one year old, being rescued from a horsefarm, grew up for about 4 monthst LOVING the outdoors. so a year ago, we rescued her and brought her to my home. She STILL loves the outdoors. Every day, we regularly let her outside into my fenced backyard for around 3 or 4 hours. She used to be very very content just running around my nicely sized back yard; until yesterday, when she figured out how to climb my fences. My fences are 6 feet tall- and my cat is declawed in the front. Yet she uses the fence posts to shimmy up to the top. This is a BIG BIG problem considering there are busy cars where I live, little children, and open streets, ponds, and such. I live in a neighborhood- I can not have my cat running around. I am scared to death that she is going to get picked up and taken home, or hit by a car. PLEASE HELP ME. what can I do to keep her from going over the fence?

We adopted a stray cat and kitten that wandered into our yard. After the kitten was weaned we had the mother spayed. We didn't have any problems.

A few months later we had the kitten spayed. Now the mother cat hisses at the kitten and won't have anything to do with it. Why do you think this is happening? What should we do?

Is there anyway to help calm him down? He is constantly biting me, and company. I can't let him sleep in my room because he jumps the window and knocks my curtains down. But if I dont let him in my room he will sit outside of it, meow, then start scratching at the door. Yes it is so annoying. I've had a cat before and have never had this much trouble. Right now he's proving me wrong by laying on my desk watching me type this. I bet he can read and is plotting new ways of attacking me tonight. LOL. Any advice would be appreciated. Please Note; water bottles suck! My cat adores water.

I found a kitten today! i brought it around my two cats. A 5 year old mother cat and her 8 month old kitten. The kitten i found is a bout 4 months old. The mother did not like the kitten i brought home at all she hissed and became very upset. I put the kitten in a bathroom in my house until i take him to the vet. Later that nighti was holding her kitten and she started hissing at it and when her kitten started to walk away she attacked it and swatted at it. Why is my cat acting in this way? I don't know what to do. She is usually very friendly with her baby. Helppp.
