Cats - December 2007

It all started when my cat vomited these worms, supposedly roundworms, which we are going to give treatment to really, really soon. A few days after that cat vomited, one of my other cat kept on vomiting, too. Now, 4 of my other cats have vomited, too. And sometimes it would be yellow (It didn't look like foam)... Does anyone know why my cats are doing this?

I would like to get one and was wondering about their personalities. They have been bred down generations with wild cats, right? So, are they completeley domesticated now and friendly? And what were they bred with to get those cool markings? Should the kitten have the markings it'll have as an adult or can it change? And what is the average price for a non show quality (but still one with nice markings) Bengal and are cat breeders usually helpful? I know a lot about the dog breeding world but nothing about cat breeding. I already have 3 domestic shorthairs that are quite old (13,14, and 17) so I may just wait till they are gone so I don't upset them or would they be accepting? They are all fixed of course, two males and one female.

Against all odds, my cats don't like fish... Amongst all their hundreds (well it feels like there's that many) toys, they refuse to play with them and seem to find hour of enjoyment running up and down stairs. Also if i leave my sock or underwear drawer open, i come home to find they've carried them all the way downstairs and arranged them in a nice little pile for me.. weird or what?!

strange little kitties but i sure love em...

what quirks do your kitty masters have..?

Recently my cat Phoebe has been gettting a lot heavier, and fatter around the belly. I know that she has been getting her winter coat and everything but she has really been getting a big bulge around her stomach. She has been spayed for almost 9 years now. She did have some thyroid problems last year, but she has been fine lately. Is there any possiblity she is pregnant? She is an indoor/outdoor cat so who knows what she could be getting into. Please give me your best answer. We are taking her to the vet soon. Thanks!

I have asked this question but, but I am still looking for a good solution. I need to find a digital camera that can take quick shots of kitties, without their eyes closed. The last two digital cameras that I tried Nikon Coolpix and a Canon, both had a shutter speed that was so slow that my cat escaped the picture while the flash was going off or his eyes were closed. I had a Sony Cybershot DSC-S50 before it was stolen and it was the only camera I have ever personally owned that would take good digital shots of cats.

I don't want to purchase another expensive camera and have to send it back because I can't figure out how to not have blurry, cat eyes-closed photographs. I take pictures of other things, sure... but if I can't take pictures of things sharply... as they happen, why not just go back to the old fashioned camera with film?

So, I would love to find a good camera, preferably under $200 - doesn't have to be big on the MP... I don't need a ton of features, just sharpness.

There have always been many cats in my backyard, and whenever winter comes, my heart breaks for them. There is this one cat in particular, who is so friendly, and my neighbor takes the cat in sometimes. He said he was going to build the cat a little house for the winter, but I just came home from work and there is nothing there, but the cat. I pet her and she was cold. I brought out a towel, but that will not do anything really. Do you have any ideas as to how to keep stray cats warm?

My wife made the mistake of bringing in a stray cat with the intention of taking it to a humane place to have it adopted out. After she did this she called all the places in the phone book that handle felines and they said they are all full. A couple said they have to put them to sleep if they get them because of them being full. That is no better than the pound. I told her to put it out again. Is that the right thing to give it a fighting chance or take it where it will be killed. As of two minutes ago it is still outside our door where it has been since we put it back out two days ago.

I've had this cat since July. He was given to us. But we know little about him. I don't know how old he is or what breed he is. Here are two pictures of him:

Also, have they had all their shots, etc...

I've never gotten an animal from a shelter so I could use some schooling on the process.
Just wanting to know what Im getting into before I do anything.

I think my cat MAY have some super abilities. I have been watching her and it SEEMS as though she MAY be using the FORCE. I think the force is with her. She is exhibiting signs of being MORE than just an ordinary house cat. Now, do you think this is possible and if so, how should I act around her?

I haven't gotten a kitten nailcutter and her claws are way too long and I'm pretty desperate. I was thinking about cutting them with my nailcutter but I wanted to know if it's okay first.

I am getting a new kitten, but I do have to go to work a few hours a day (i have a VERY flexible schedule), longer on Fri/Sat. How long can my kitten be alone in the house, or how often should I go check up on her? I'd be gone about 5 hrs per day Tues/Wed/Thurs, and on Fri & Sat when I have to be gone longer, my sister who lives with me will be home in the evening....I just don't want my kitten to get too lonely! Any suggestions?

He used to be kind of fat, but over the last month he has gotten really skinny.
My other cat is still kind of overweight, just my one cat is getting skinny.

Do you have any ideas?
