They wake me up that way too by bating at my face and nose.

I have two cats. At night I now keep my bedroom door shut. I never did this in the past so I know it's new for them, but it haa been a few months now. I am getting woken up several times at night now by them scratching and pushing on the door. It is mainly one over the other and he always runs...

My cat chases his tail and will catch it with his claws causing them to catch.  When he pulls away to unhook them it leads to him ripping it open.  This happens a few times a week!  I'm worried he is going to cause a deep cut that will become infected.  I asked my vet and she didn't really seem...

Thanks guys, that's what I was thinking too - I'll give the vet a call.

Thanks again to everyone for all your help and support. Brooks had a few vet visits and they said he looks great. However, in the last few weeks now he has been peeing in places other then the litter box. The two main spots are right in front of the box and the bathroom rug. We can stop the...

Haven't been back on since I posted last, but thank you for your thoughts and opinions. I also did not expect this to turn into such a debate. Anyway... my other cat was tested this afternoon and it came back negative. Very happy that he is not sick, but hard too. They are such buddies and I...

Thanks so much guys, I appreciate it. They play fighting, I guess I should be clearer. There is some growling at times, but it's a lot of chasing and rolling around. There is a decently deep cut on Brooks' neck (the one infected) but the vet said it is healing fine and not infected. I have...

The fighting / bites is what I'm worried about. They play and wrestle pretty often. I know there's no control, just have to wait until the appt. Monday.

Today our younger cat tested positive for FIV. I am so sad to hear this and also upset with myself. We took him in from a coworker and I continued to put off bringing him in to the vet to have him checked out. Worse thing is, now our other cat has been exposed and may test positive as well...
