You need to get him to a vet, there may be a vet in your area who specialises only in cats, this make make a visit less stressful to him. There are other things to help to, but you need to give full details of his fainting problems. As for fleas, do not buy animal medicines over the counter...

You shut her alone in the basement just after you took away her kittens? Where have the kittens gone, did you sell them all at once? How old were the kittens when they left mom? How many times do you intend to breed from your cat? Did the mom have a vet check-up before & after giving birth? To...

I'd suggest a trip to the vet just to make sure that there's no skin condition developing.

He's learnt that is he lays like that he gets attention. I have taught my cat the same thing, if I see a her fluffy tummy, she gets a big tickle-tummy.

How old is Newt, has he been neutered? Have the neighbour's cats been neutered? Are they male?

I'm hoping that's a joke. We have fireworks on 5 Nov. My cat reacts much like another poster's cat & she runs window to window. We try our best & look out the window with her, but act like it's no big deal. We have the TV on loud to conceal the noise a little.

Hi 11 weeks old is a little young to have left her mum (should be 12 weeks), how long has she been with you? If as sounds possible she has not been correctly weaned, then you will have to do it yourself. She needs to learn disappointment & being told "no". You need to teach her acceptable &...

Hi White spirit is a colourless liquid distilled from petroleum. It's used as a paint thinner & solvent. It's sold in hardware stores (eg B&Q) in the UK. There's a Wikpedia entry here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_spirit To Angelbaby If 2 of the males are fighting, you will also need to...

That's good advice from lotsocats I'd add something else too. How are you cleaning the area? Cleaning to spraying to human standards is not enough as a cat's sense of smell is far better than ours. DO not use a disinfectant as that smells exactly like old spraying to a cat & the cat will feel...

Thank you for your replies. I have found this web site in the UK (www.deteracat.co.uk) they have both a motion ultrasonic unit & also the US scarecrow unit.

Hi I have a 7 year old neutered female British Blue Shorthair called Marmite. She is in excellent health & is an indoor only cat. She lives in a large house with myself & my wife, there are no other animals. We look after her behavior needs, most rooms have a scratch posts, there are 2 aerobic...

Another thought.. If she's only used to wet food, then dry food will be strange to her. You could try using water to moisten 2 or 3 treats. PH

Thanks flimflam I found one local shop selling another Pounce product, luxury treats. However, the problem is that they would probably have to buy a whole box of maybe 100 from the distributors if I wanted to order some. My local helpful petshop can't source any Heinz pet products at all! PH

Thanks very much & a special thankyou to spacecat. I made a mistake & assumed that this was a UK BBS. Obviously Heinz Pet products are very popular in the US & asking people from the US about how to source something like this in the UK is a bit dumb of me. I will make further inquiries within...

Maybe she doesn't understand that they are food for her. Try breaking them in two & putting in her food dish. Also try breaking & grinding them up between your fingers & letting her smell your fingers. Try the Pounce brand of treats. PH
