LIke i said i just like an hour ago moved my adult cats from my moms place to my place they are brothers and i didnt want to seperate them thats why i moved both. they are both male cats. and they cried for a good while when we first got here now they have stopped but hidden themselves. Now i think this is normal and i should leave them. but i just wanted to ask and make sure and is there anything i should be doing right now?? they have lived there whole lives at my moms with me. so i thought it would be an easier transition. I just am concernied for my cats and if i think in anyway that they are not happy and need to go back i will so any advice would be appreciated thanks.

I have a stray cat which had a litter of four lovely kittens.We kept it in the loft bcz it was very roomy & comfortable than our living room. But a bug male cat,which I suppose is the father of those kittens,killed all four of them . As if it is professional killer, it slashed their necks . Not even a sratch was found on any other part of the body.My cat is still upset & meows everywhere and is searching for her young ones in every nook and corner.It is such a pitiable sight. Can someone explain why the male cat did this please....i am still haunted by the sight of those dead kittens.

Our cat keeps sneezing. We just moved into a new place and she sneezes alot but doesnt have watery eyes or anything. She eats the same as normal and goes to the bathroom the same as normal and has just as much energy as she usually does. Help?

My cat has always been an outside cat so I've had no reason to learn how to clip her nails short. Recently however, I brought her into to the house to keep her as an indoor cat and her nails have been snagging on everything--from carpet--to bedding. I don't believe it is ethical to get her declawed and I just wondered how far back you cut a cat's toenails. I know on dogs you cut to the black line in the toenail but my cat doesn't have a line in her toenail. So, how short exactly can I cut them?

Alright, I haven't had my kittens for too long. Maybe a month now. When I was trying to litter train them, the first kitten took to it in maybe 2 days. She'll even sprint across the house just to make it to the litter box. My second kitten will NOT go into the litter box. I've got to the point to where I can tell when she's about to go.She knows that I know what she's about to do, so when I walk towards her to pick her up and put her in the litter box... She will run away from me as fast as she can to make it to a corner of the room they sleep in and go on the floor. We had a box that was right next to the litter box. She somehow she got on top of that just to use the bathroom there instead of the litter box. I'm thinking maybe some cats wont use the same litter box? I don't know. I've never owned two cats at the same time.

I am looking for a cat litter that controls odor and causes little or no dust. The dust is terrible for my allergies and it stays in the carpet forever. I was thinking about trying that feline pine but I hear that it smells like rotting garbage.

They seem healthy and very happy. Momma cat doesn't seem to mind and it's only for a few short minutes. They eat regular kitten food that out all day and they get wet food given in the evening.

Everyone thinks this is odd and bad for them, but i can't think why. it's sems natural and healthy to me.

Our cat has a mast cell tumor on his face. Is there any chance that it could be transmitted to a bulldog in the house? He will have surgery for it next month.

My cats are both 8 years old, they eat a dry food diet of Nutrience Holistic for the past year. Since then, my male hasn't had one UTI and my female hasn't had diarrhea at all. A few months ago they started leaving food in the bottom of their dish and wouldn't touch it, but ask me for more food. Sometimes I would mix the new food into the "old" and try to trick them into eating it (which may have only been there a few hours) but they still wouldn't. I'd always end up having to throw away just as much as they were eating.

I even tried mixing wet food into it, no luck.

Now I only feed them 1/4 cup 2X a day, which is how much they can eat together in 10 minutes. But, if there are a few pieces of kibble left, they'll never touch it. I have to throw it away and give fresh.

I'm concerned they're not eating enough. They're both 14 lbs, healthy, not losing weight. But why the fussiness all of a sudden. Should I switch foods? What GOOD food keeps its appeal sitting in the dish?

I love a stray cat very much . I raise it in home.It is very affectionate towards me.But it roams out and sometimes gets involved in streetfights with its compatriots. So i am scared that it might acquire rabies. I would like to know if cats do get affected by rabies and if yes,how can it be prevented. Please guide me in the right path.I will be really thankful.

I got a kitten on Friday. I got her from my local vet. They found her in some ones yard and took her in. THey think she is about 3 months old.
i brought her home and she has been hiding ever since.
she only comes out at night when everyone is sleeping and she cries all night long. like a kitten who was seperated from its mother.
i leave food out for her and i try and find her but i have a big house.
Do i let her be and let her come out on her own? She came out of hiding for a little while last night. but as soon as she sees some one she runs.
Is there anything i can do???

I understand that animal testing is SOMETIMES alright.. but high schoolers dissecting? Just enlighten me, please.

This type of thing should be reserved for graduate study/med school. These kids have learned nothing. I dissected 3-4 things in middle school-and can't remember what the "lesson" was.

Sorry it’s so long; I just need help and want to give as much information as I can.
I hate that I have to go through all of this to get a straight answer, don’t see people on “trying to conceive” saying “you know there are too many people in the world, you should get fixed.” But anyhow, to make things clear; We adopted a very young cat, with all intentions of having her fixed only to find out as we were giving her a flea bath the day we got her that she is pregnant. As soon as it is time we will have her spayed. We were just giving a good home to a homeless cat; not trying to make more cute little kitties (can adopt plenty at the pound.)
Yes I know she is pregnant (don’t know how far along,) and after trying to find out last night if the slight bloody discharge she had was a sign of birth or something wrong (and being told she was having her period…lol) I know she is close to ready for birth, and I think that covers everything. Sorry to make a short question long, it’s just hard to take some of the things people say…ouch.
The problem is I think the kitten is going to be stillborn, read this happens in young cats and I can’t see it moving, so will the “queen” still deliver? So far she seems really fine, I am just over worried (will take her ASAP to the vet if something goes wrong.) The kitten is really low, moving towards the birth canal, and it seems like she should be in labor; she just isn’t following any of the “stages of labor” I keep reading. She isn’t doing anything motherly, she is still eating, and worrying her mommy sick (that might have been one.)
Anyone know what is going on? I also read that the “queens” can hold off delivery if they are upset, could my worrying be upsetting her? How will I know if something is wrong if she seems so fine?
Lastly, is it possible the kitten is still alive and just because it is so close to time I don’t notice it moving? Btw, I say kitten because luckily it feels like only one. I just don’t understand how it can be a stillborn when she is so healthy and went though all the progression of motherhood every well considering her age. I mean she does still run-a-muck like a kitten herself but the baby even grew nicely.
Any help for a *pacing* future kitten owner (hopefully) would be so appreciated, you wouldn’t understand.

I've been trying to teach my cat to play chess for about four years now with no success. He can't even pick up the pieces, just knocks them over occasionaly. I've explained the object of the game and the rules hundreds of times. You'd think with four years instruction he'd have got it by now but no. Any tips please? Thanks.

I've been thinking about getting a kitten (I grew up with 7 cats, I now own my own home and have 3 dogs who are very sweet). I'm just curious if anyone has gotten 2 kittens at the same time- I was considering getting 2 so they have eachother to play with and what not. Did anyone do this and how did it work out? I would get 2 sisters.

She has been icthy and irritated (by stress) since the new doggie came this past year. She has worked herself up to get sick since Ive had her 7 years- caused herself to get tonsilitis. However I believe that fleas were the worst this year and were not stopped by monthly flea drops. However now it seems the cold weather has drove the pesty fleas away.

My cat already has very sensitive skin... and has been itching these bites and they wont heal. What can I do at home to help her. I can not afford a vet at this time- looking for a home remedy to treat her dry and torn skin. my concern is she is unconfortable and re-tearing at her skin...and continuously licking. Cats mouths are filthy and I am afraid she may infect her wounds
