My parents and I have always adopted adult cats. The only time I ever had a kitten was when I was a kitten myself Our 4th adult family cat passed away 2 years ago, and since then I have moved out and now live on my own. Within a month of moving out I *had* to adopt a cat. I knew I wanted an...

thanks Sandie, i will certainly do that - although my parent's cat used to have a terrible time with Frontline - so i don't know where to turn! but i can always try and see if there's improvement.

Hello, I have been giving my two indoor-only cats Advantage ever since they had thier first (only only - phew!) flea infestation about a year ago. When i first gave it to them, i dosed them one a month for about 3 months. I haven't seen any fleas since, so after that gave them Advantage as a...

Vikki - thanks, i just saw your post. i did exactly what you said, i washed and then put antibiotic cream on it. [i am still amazed that she could climb my leg that high without any front claws!! her back claws gave her a little perch on my ankle flesh, but no blood drawn there.]

I have learned a lot for you both - thanks for the quick replies. I think it is most definitely Displacement Agression http://www.greatpets.com/home/cats/b...rticleId=10029 The cardboard barrier is a great idea - finding a handy spot to store it in my tiny kitchen will be a chore but we'll...

my two cats are strict indoors, but when we leave the back door open with the screen, sometimes stray or neighbor cats come over and bother them. Maggie gets really freaked out, and one time i went to comfort her and tried to get her away from the door at the same time, and she ended up biting...

one of my cats has a very clear fluid coming out of one eye. it's not just a little, it's almost gel-like and runs the length of her nose. this happened about a week and a half ago, i wiped it off her, and it didn't happen again, until today. the eye seems to be sensitive to light as well. i'm...

Hello, I took my cat Maggie to the vet yesterday for a regular check up and shots. I explained that about once a month she has coughing fits that last for about a week or less. The vet said it might be heart murmur. She felt Maggie's chest and said she didn't feel anything wrong, but if i...

thanks! i had no idea about anal glands...never heard of that problem before. thanks for all your help. i have one other question....if i take her to get them expressed, is that going to solve the problem forever? or will she need them to be expressed on a regular basis? thanks again everybody!

one of my two cats is kind of overweight and a little jumpy because the other cat bullys her sometimes. a few months ago i was scratching her back and noticed some liquid squirt out from her rear-end area. it was REALLY REALLY smelly.....anyway, i didn't notice her doing that again for awhile...
