Cats - November 2007

I have a male cat that is about 2 months old. We just got another new kitten that is about 8 weeks old. When we brought the new kitten home our old cat got really funny acting...smelling of him and so on...now he's starting to get closer and when he does he sort of attacts him and bites the back of his neck...(like a momma would pick up her babies) and while going for the kittens neck he hovers over him like he's gonna hump him...could my new can REALLY be a female???? help please, if it's a female I want to take it back for a male...femals are more expensive to get fixed????

My house is absolutely riddled with fleas and I dont know what to we've bought flea powder, spray, drops, tablets, powdered the carpet, washed the animals and given them flea collars but on my kitten she just seems to have scrathed the whole time she had the collar on and now has a massive scab round her neck, i've taken it off now. I really don't know what to do anymore, we've spent so much money on stuff, we're going to take the animals out this weekend and use Flea-foggers that we've bought but what if they don't work?
What should I do?

i just got my kitten n the lady had told me that she pooped hard n the first day she did then after that she started to poop like liquid. like right after she eats she goes to the bath room. There was blood in her poop. i was thinking that maybe it was the food she was on and maybe i should change it. Today i got her new food. Is that normal for a kitten?

I live in Minnesota. I have lost two cats (6 months old) and I think they may have been taken by owls, but I am not sure if this is possible. I live in a heavily wooded area. We are unable to find any remains on the property. Can an owl catch and eat a cat? I wouldn't think that an owl would eat such large prey, as I though they ate mice. Plus, this has happened between the hours of 9pm and 6am.

I had a female cat once that was fascinated with watching the water swirl in the toilet bowl when it was flushed. One day she got up on the seat and hung her bottom over the edge and pee'd in the toilet. She only did it that once and never did it again.

I just adopted a cat who never meows. Instead she says things like "AAAO" in a very scary voice. Sometimes it just seems like she is speaking human language. Anyone knows what the problem might be?

My cat is currently on ''By Nature, Organics''. By all means, there's nothing wrong with it, but she just doesn't seem to have the shiny coat I'm used to cats having. Are gray tabbies just that way? Anyways, if you could give me your ideas of good quality food, that's easy to find (Petco/Petsmart, preferably, since they're EVERYWHERE), that'd be great.

So, what food brand(s) does your feline fancy, and that also has a nice effect on their skin/coat? Or even a nice type of treat that's known to help out?

P.S. Here's a couple pictures of my cat (Hurricane Katrina rescue):

I have two 2 1/2 year old domestic short haired cats at home. One of them had issues with peeing on our bed and we thought it was because she hadn't been spayed yet (we had waited longer then most because of $$$). About 3 weeks ago they were spayed and I was almost POSITIVE that's what the issue was!! Well, it obviously wasn't and she did it again this morning. There is nothing wrong with her which is leading me to believe this is strictly behavioral and I NEED to know how to discipline her. We have 2 litterboxes in our very small one-bedroom apartment and they're constantly cleaned. She's also never had issues using the litterboxes because I see her use them all the time. What my husband and I think led her to be bratty this morning, was the blanket she sleeps on at the foot of our bed fell off. A few nights ago, our other cat (her sister) let out a little meow and we fixed it and all was good. I am DESPERATE for answers here!! How do I discipline her so she understands?!

I have a cat that I adopted from the Humance Society... I am going to assume that he was abused before because he bites alot... and if you put your face anywhere near his he will bite you... you can't kiss him or anything... I love to play with him he is so cute but his biting is just awful... and he has massive teeth!! I refuse to 'spank' him even though my mom tells me to because then he will think that im abusing him too...

Is there anything I can do to make him stop this?

He is about 5 years old now and I have had him for almost 2 years. I refuse to give him back or get rid of him.

Usually he wants to go out and eat grass when this happens. He vomits the grass up also.

My gorgeous 2yr old kitty Sati is shedding like crazy because it's Spring here in Aust and she's losing her winter coat. I love her to pieces and am brushing her three times a day, but I still can't keep up with all the fur she is losing. It's getting everywhere!

I miss hugging her, because if I do I get covered in grey fur.

Any tips for dealing with her while she sheds her coat, such as practical ways of grooming her that will actually work, and methods for keeping hairballs at bay? (She's only had a few so far but she does them under the bed....yuck). She is on a hairball dry food. However I'm more interested in grooming methods.

Thanks :D

I have a cat who I've had for the past 5 or 6 years. He was the most affectionate and loving cat when I first got him as a kitten. I've moved house 3 times since getting him and the last time I moved house he didn't react well at all. I have another cat who I've only had for the past year or so - he is really affectionate and lovely.

Tobi, the trouble cat, now sits on the stairs ready to swipe whoever walks past. He has gotten very skinny and during the day sleeps under our house and has gotten bad fleas, even though we regularly treat him properly. The vet says there is nothing wrong with him, so I don't know what to do. He will walk through a room and just hiss at nothing in particular. I have to wake up at 3am to feed him because he won't eat when anyone else is around, and he is aggressive to my entire family except me.
My mother recently got a puppy, and this has only made the matter worse.

I know that you can train dogs, but I need to know how to train a cat! Please help!

My family loves ginger cats. We live in Melbourne, Australia so does anyone know where we can get kittens from?

We've decided that we're not buying a cat from a pet shop (only from places like the RSPCA) and it doesn't have to be a pedigree or anything.

Anyone know any good sites that I could look at that has pictures of them?

I've heard vets say YES, we should do all necessary to prevent heartworm. But are they just trying to stay in business and want money? What's the REAL risk of an indoor cat getting heartworm from a mosquito? Is it the same as a human getting heartworm (very very very low)? Because if it is... i don't want to pay for heartworm prevention pills!

Our cat is allowed outdoors and sometimes spends hours away from the house. We'd like to know where she goes. Someone told us that there are tracking devices for dogs. Has anyone heard of similar ones for cats?

Hi!
I know cats are super stubborn, and they hate to learn...when my brother holds his cat, the cat always claws and tries to get away. My brother thinks, "we are their owners, so they should listen to us. we're the superiors. they're here for our enjoyment, they need to learn that." and he thinks he can train his cat by holding it in it's arms until it "gets it"...i'm trying to convince him that "it can't learn!" but he's sure it can. What's the truth?
