I ask this cos im a dude myself, and er..i have a female calico cat (i asked bout her problem of only eating tinned tuna, and avoiding her catfood you may recall...) but yea, my question is..if a female cat doesn't wanna 'get jiggy with it' and accidently runs into a 'dude cat' who's seriously in heat, what are her chances of avoiding his advances in all their glory ?

cats are way down the ladder in the mammal kingdom, but theoreticaly if a female cat told the dude cat 'hey look...im NOT interested' but he boned her anyway, thats kinda rape. I guess on 'cat planet' (in a galaxy far far away...) theres a justice system in place where a cat judge, and cat lawyers deal with cat rape. anyways before this question takes a turn for the worse...i just wanted to know if female cats can ward off male cat advances , i have never seen cats 'get it on' (and trust me i think i could do without ever having to witness such a spectacle too)..

i have a 1 1/2 yr. old spayed female cat, and two 6 1/2 mo. kittens (they're siblings.) i can't tell if the girl kitten is in heat, but the boy kitten today just tried to mount on the adult cat who's spayed. i picked him up and looked at his pee pee and it was sticking out so i know for sure what he was trying to do.
the kittens aren't fixed yet, but why would he mount on a fixed cat? (his pee pee sticks out when he gives himself a bath, this started occuring about 3 mo. ago)

I have a 5 month old male kitten who, every time we play, scratches and bites, and its a very hard bite... just about everytime he draws blood from my hands. I have tried to discipline him but after i do, he just throws his ears back and gives me the "oh hell no" stare and attacks back even harder... what do i do!!!!???

I have had two cats living on my front porch for about a month... they just appeared one day when I got home and they have stayed ever since. Because winter is coming, we are thinking about taking them inside. Please give me some suggestions!

I'd like to try a Booda Dome litter box. My husband wants one of the automatic litter boxes, but I heard they're not good for multiple cats and the rake can get a little messy. What do you think?

I adopted a beautiful cat a couple of weeks ago but he drives me nuts sometimes! I love him dearly but he is the most sloppiest litter box user I've had out of all my cats! He'll step in the spot he just went pee, then his back paws smell like urine (and we all know how strong cat pee smells!) and the litter also sticks to his paws. I've even had to cut his hair on his butt too because his poop would stick to it. Ugh! I was thinking his litter box might be too small and thats why he steps in it? Or maybe he just isn't too bright?! He's the sweetest cat though and just loves to get and give affection. I just want him to use the litter box without making such a huge mess! Oh and I've also had to wash his butt twice! Any suggestions?!?!?! Thanks :o)

My cat just got 2 casts put on her hind legs due to an accident, I assume a car ran over her. The casts are on such that the leg is elongated/straightened out. They are so heavy that she is limited to lying on her side with both legs virtually grounded and stuck together. Is it inevitable that she will soil herself, so that the poo gets all over her fur? Or will she instinctually find a way to get in a pooping position. She has only had the casts since yesterday and shes still freaked out by these mysterious things on her legs. Is there a special way I have to modify our litter box to make it accessible for her? Will she finally accept being stuck wearing the casts? What can I expect after she gets the casts removed?

What have been some of your personal and hopefully universally common experiences with this matter?

Our cat came in this morning acting really scared as if someone was coming to get him. I noticed his fur smelled like gasoline and it was spiked up from the dried out gasoline. Can this cause brain damage and what should we do besides giving him a bath?

Thanks in advance!

I found an abandoned kitten that is adorable and I'm keeping her. I called Angels for Animals and am taking her there to get all her shots, spayed, etc... They said they put all the cats that test positive for feline leukemia down. Now I'm worried. I love my little Halo (that's her new name) and am hoping for the best. Does anyone know of some warning signs for feline leukemia? She seems very healthly and is very fiesty and active.

Another thing.... I'm broke and that's why I'm taking her there. I can barely afford to keep her as is so I don't know if I could take care of her if she is sick :(

Being black she is at increased risk of being run over at night. White would show up more at night. Better still maybe some of those bright hair colours people seem to dye their hair with Maybe I should have got a white cat in the first place. The other idea is to fit her with a bright orange jacket like motorway workers use, this may be much better than hair bleach which could harm the cat if she licks it off.

I am wondering how bengal cats are with children? I had a domestic cat once and when I woke up in the middle of the night to check on my daughter, the cat was laying on her neck. The vet said something about them needing the oxygen. It really scared me. I have heard that bengals are very different than regular domestic house cats. If any one can help it would be great. Thanks

Ive been to the vets and they have said they would have to remove part of his right ear to take the polps away,but because of his diabeties i'm worried it won't heal,and he will suffer more,also his ear is cut inside where he keeps scratching it,which has made it even worse.
The vet said it usualy comes back,but would be easier to treat the next time because part of his ear won't be there,but how will he cope with all that.
I just want whats best for him,and the thought of him suffering perhaps even more eats me up inside as i love him to bits.
Animal lovers i need some advice please,this is so hard for me.

I can only afford brands like 9 lives (about $12/bag...20lbs)
Is there anything that would be about the same cost, but better for her? I really want to feed her the best I can for the price.

Thanks

Yesterday I found a stray cat in front of my garage. I approached it and it ran away to my backyard underneath my patio. It was typing to hide from me. I tried to feed it, but it was very cautious. Everytime i came out it hid under the patio, then i put the food out and left. The cat would look for me before and during eating the food. Also, the cat looked about 6-9 months old and was "afraid" of people/

I fed and fed it more about 1 pound of meat. Then it didn't come back. After an hour it brought a sibling. I fed them, again and again, but the (first) bigger one ate most of it. I fed them for about 1 hour. It seemed like they were starving and cold. It was about 40 degrees outside and i tried to let them come in the house. But, they wouldn't.

Today, only one cat was there. It was lying on a bench as if it were looking for the other one. It seemed like it died from the cold or overfeeding. I was depressed. What should I do with the stray cat?

Ok this is a little bit weird, at least for me. My cat seems to have an obsession with clothing, pants to be specific, well the deal is that when I leave my pants on the floor, he gets the same effects as a cat on catnip...starts purrring, meowing, rolls over it and licks em' lol...somebody please tell me if this is normal?

He meows constantly when he doesnt have attention on him (ie. being pet) and he is a pale yellow with a tiger tail and two white spots on his tummy. Green/ yellow eyes. Likes to sleep on top of the books in the bookcase. Likes to play. Goes balistic over catnip! Which is kinda scarry with such huge paws!

ok when i was 5 i had an Abyssinian cat. And he died of old age 9 years later.(thats what the vet said). when i was 11 i got another Abyssinian cat. then it died 1 year later from heart failure. know i am 13 and i am going to get another cat because my dad is finally ready to get another one from a different breader that does not have heart issues in thier family. My dad either wants a Russian Blue or another Abyssinian. The problem with Abyssinians is that they are so independent when i had them, even though i was very nice to them played with them and fed them all the time. Are Abyssinians always independent cats? Are Russian Blue cats independent? i would rather have a Abyssinian cat because they are just beautiful. what is the better choice of a cat in youre opinion? i want a cat that is very quick and will play with you.(Abyssinian) But i also want it to come to you or stay in youre bed when you sleep or sit with you because Abyssinians never sit with you they keep a safe distance.

My cat doesn't move it's mouth at all when it purrs, yet his purr is extremely loud, and I can feel him vibrating. Why is that I can hear it then?
