My little Tiddles goes all weird when someone (strange to her) comes into the house. she starts to try to claw them. When friends come round and pick her up giving her lots of attention stroking her she kinda looks at them funny and then starts scratching them, spitting and even biting. This is so weird tho because i have seen this side to her, she changes quickly.

I have told everyone i have this little sweet kitten who climbs up on my knew and lies on her back for me to tickle her & then when they come round she attacks them.

Does anyone know why this is. I didn't even knowing that cat's spat before i seen her do it to friend and when she was biting her i said 'oi tiddles no' and out of curiosity i put me hand to he mouth 2see if she would bite me and she just shut her mouth and turned her head, then starts waving her paws around and trying to bite my friend again.
Anyone that can help me with, really appreicate it...thanks

My 10 week old kitten has a URI and is congested. How do I get him to eat if he can't smell his food. I've tried "wet" food, tuna (yeah, I know Mercury. I'm desperate) etc. He's so pitiful. Help. He's on a antibiotic and decongestant. When will his symptoms ease up.

Specifically in what to look for? Someone has abandoned their pet cat in the apartment complex I live in, and she snuck into mine when I opened the door.

I can't keep her :(

If I did I'd have to spend a large amount of money according to the terms of my lease, or I'd have violated it and have 3 days to move. I'm already filing bankruptcy and I have nothing left. I couldn't afford cat food let alone the vet bills, but I cant just let her die outside.

Im, looking into no kill shelters but I have no experience with them, and I'm uncertain what to look for. Some of those places are pretty bad off. I'm living in central Ohio if it helps.

My kitten is named Noah. (No-uh) All he loves to play with is a piece of thick string that i throw around so he can play. Are there any other ideas instead of buying some at petco or petsmart? Like creative ones?

Oh my gosh, my cat is going insane. Lately she has been extremely desperate to get in the house. When we don't let her in she meows so loud I can hear her upstairs. When I do let her in she follows me around constantly and thinks everything is food. When I am in the kitchen she will do everything in her power to get food. She is acting possessed and it is creeping me out. I know some cats are just hungry and this would not bother me if she had been like this her whole life. But, she is five i think and for like two weeks she has been nuts. She isn't overweight, though she used to be. Everything else seems normal, so what is wrong?? I am sure alot of people will say " take her to the vet", but my dad will not take a cat to the vet just because it is hungry. Please help me figure out what is wrong! thank you

I have two kittens, they are about 8 or 9 weeks old. I just saw some fleas on them, yuck. I went out and bought some Frontline. So they each have some now, but my question is...how long does it take effect? And will one dose work for a while if they are inside? I know it's once a month, but what do you think, for a kitten? Thank you!

I took in a stray cat just before a snow storm hit. She is really skinny, you can see her bones, and her paw looks to be broken. She is so sweet an mellow which leads me to believe she has lived in a house before. I think someone dumped her when they moved out. Anyway I really want to keep her, but I don't have the money to take her to the vet. And I know if I call animal control they would just put her to sleep. I love cats so much and I just want to help her. I feel so bad. All the places I called want money up front. Is there any groups that help with vet bills in the Kansas City area? I'm at a loss here. I'm crying and it's not even my cat.

Okay, so I have been feeding Flint River Ranch dry cat food for awhile and now my cat has a UTI. There is blood in the urine but no crystals. I am going to feed only wet food from now on. I have cans of Wellness and Merrick in the cabinet now. Which one do you recommend? Both my cats like Merrick a little but completely turned their nose up at Wellness. What is your feeling on these two?

Most of the cats we've ever had didn't need much training. Just show them the box and nature takes over. But we've got a new kitten that seems terrified of the cat box. We've bought him a small one so it won't seem so overwhelming, but he still acts like we're trying to stuff him in a box when we put him in it. He's doing his business all over the house and all around his box but WILL NOT go in his box. What do I do???

She is 8 years old, spayed, and we have had her since she was a kitten. In the last few months she has occatinally started freaking out about her tail. She will usually start by agressivly licking the base of her tail, but it is like it is hard for her to do it, like she is thinking about running away from it, then she will sprint around the house a few times, obviously trying to escape her tail. She stops and lays down in front of me like she wants help. I have found that if I scratch it is seems to make it worse, but if I rub her hips firmly it seems to help. The problem is it seems to be getting worse, I don't know if it is the change in season, but she is an indoor cat so that shouldn't matter. I would take her to the vet, but I don't want to if there just gonna say, it may be, it might be, try this....
Any ideas, anyone?

I was down sick with a flu and then my cat started vomiting the next day. Is it possible that I gave her the flu?

4 weeks ago this stray arrived at my doorstep and I decided to keep her. I have been feeding her iams,friskies,science diet, and purina cat chow.
My best friend fosters stray cats and kittens. I told her about how about my new cat. She asked me immediatly what I feed her and when I told her I fed purinaiams,and science diet, she said that all those foods have nothing but junk like corn,wheat,soy, and low quality animal parts and other fillers. she told me holistic cat food and occasional raw meat was much healthier.
I'm not sure if I should beleive it or not. She is pretty good with cats and she has owned cats for her whole life as well as exotic cats.(not tigers and lions but bengal and savvanh cats)

i'm not sure what to do. Can I have some opinions?

if a cat knows it's going to die, does it come home or leave to die?

okay so i have two kittens, one is 3 months the other is 4 months, i did a food shop today and i thought it made more sense to bulk buy their food as it works out cheaper and lasts longer. they have been eating kitten food all along and today i could have sworn i picked up the kitten food but i must have picked up the regular cat food. so ive just bought 40 pouches of food i now cant use. i just wondered if it'd b ok to feed them the cat food??? and if anyone else has done this? thanks

Hi, I have a problem with 2 of my 3 cat. About a month ago i noticed my grey and white cat has got black specs under his chin. I thought it was dirt from when he went outside. I tried to clean it off but the black specs where hard to move. The only way was to scrap it with my nail. not nice to do. I took him to the vet who was not sure what is was. I got told to clean everyday with warm water and cotton wool. I done that for a week and it got worse. It has become bald in places and itichey. I took him back for the vet to tell me to carry on. Which i have. Now i noticed the other day Another cat Bud has got it. They do not scratch everyday. I have been looking on the internet for skin irritations, and can not find it anywhere. I found a flea on my ginger cat the other day aswell. Could it be flea dirt? I do not think it is as flea dirt comes away from the hair quite easily. I use front line flea treament for all the cats every 4 weeks. Which does not seem to be working!!!! Any ideas?

Can you use people finger nail clippers or is that somehow dangerous or do they just not cut their claws well? I do know that if I do cut them I have to be very careful not to cut them too short or they will bleed.

Thanks for your help!

I have 2 male, and neutered cats. First one is yami, he is fat, long haired and very nice to everyone. The other is fenix and the alpha cat and is a tuxedo, long/skinny has a lot of muscle and is nice to ME only. My problem is that the mere sight of yami makes fenix hiss at him. They are BOTH brothers, came out of the very same litter. Wouldnt they be pals? Yami is a peaceful kitty and rarely fights back. But fenix is always on his toes ready to attack. If yami comes out out of the corner fenix ALWAYS bats at his face. I mean claws out and everything. I just dont understand why fenix hates yami! i use the spray bottle on them if their bad! SOMEONE please tell me how to get my kitties to get along with each other!
