Hello all, Some neighbors are complaining about our three adopted cats who have been using their shrubbery as litter boxes. I can certainly sympathize with the neighbors and told them would restrict our cats. I don't yet know how. At this time we are keeping them confined to inside our house...

They're not ferals at all. They wandered in from some unknown place in the neighborhood or a nearby neighborhood. They are very loving, sociable and affectionate, which is one reason we couldn't just ignore them.

Help me to make a decision. A mama cat and her three kittens showed up about three weeks ago. (We like cats and already have a cat.) We have found a good home for one of them but can't place the other two. We cannot care for them. So far, we've let them be "barn cats" and live outside. We...

For the past several months a female tortoise-colored cat from some unknown place in the neighborhood has been visiting our cat (who is neutered). She enjoys playing and sharing the menu with our cat. She is a nice kitty and is well cared for by someone, somewhere. We call her Tutti-Fruity. She...

Does anyone know about microchip implants for identifying cats that might get lost? We're thinking about getting one for our cat, Junior. I guess the vet can do it? I've tried to google up some information but most of the available information just talks about how the implants might cause...

Does anyone know what kind of kitty this is? She's very thin (skinny); we offered her food but she's not hungry. She seems to be in good health -- playful and friendly. Thanks for any info.

What kind of cat could this be? Almost daily, usually in the late afternoon, a kitty has began to show up on the back patio to visit our cat Junior. She's gotta belong to someone in the immediate neighborhood who recently moved in. She's very unique looking, almost strange, and we can't figure...

I wonder how many more brands of cat foods are affected? Before it's over we'll probably learn that all of them are affected. We're tempted to just feed our cats people food from the table but they don't like it.

Menu Foods executives are hiding under their desks waiting for the problem to blow over. And it will. The public has a short memory. I seem to remember something like this happening several years ago -- something to do with toxic flea collars or something. The manufacturer was never punished...

Our cats used to pant occasionally during the afternoon in the summertime. As a part of the every-morning routine we poured them fresh water, both indoors and outdoors. However, we started supplying them with fresh water, not only in the morning, but in the afternoon and at night as well...

We thank all of you for your responses. The situation is much clearer. In summary, it seems that a neutered cat in some cases can still have the urge, go through the motions, might roam a little, but won't impregnate. I of course know you guys are right by advising us to keep him inside...

We had our male cat neutered ("fixed") about two years ago. It doesn't seem to have done much good. He still roams the neighborhood. And last night, to our surprise, he was having sex with a new girlfriend to the neighborhood. Does it really do any good to have tomcats neutered? Isn't...

This will be a rather hastily-written, non-Shakesperean effort. I just feel a need to ramble a little about our 20-year-old kitty who died this morning. I suppose this post is a sort of eulogy which will be recorded in cyberspace and the great cosmos and will be a resonance for all eternity...

The vet told us about five days ago that there's nothing more she can do for our 21-year-old loyal kitty. He is dying. He gets weaker with each passing hour. He doesn't seem to suffering from acute pain. He looks like he's trying to find a comfortable position. He no longer eats or drinks...

All our cats, including the 20-year-old we have now have lived long happy and healthy lives. We feed them both canned and dried as well as some "people food" whenever they want it. Also an occassional can of tuna. I think they need at least some dried food because it contains some fiber and...
