    Swollen Glands

    Will see what I can find on Monday now. He is still doing fine other than the swollen glands. Really hoping it turns out to be minor.... I will be heartbroken if a second cat get cancer.

    Swollen Glands

    I really need some advice on this matter. We are really struggling financially at the moment and if I can avoid taking my cat to the vet I really need to (we are completely out of money and using credit cards to charge basic like food which makes our situation worse). I have a 2 1/2 year old...

    Going through the garbage

    Oh! That's good! We bought a nice garbage can some time back which we haven't been able to use. Maybe we can rig it up somehow too. Before we even had put anything in it we found Cairo sitting inside the garbage can with the lid on!!

    Ah! So he's just being annoying then. LOL

    can I make my cat a lap cat?

    I turned one of my cats I used to have into a semi-lap cat. She was super affectionate too but didn't sit on my lap. I bought her special treats that she loved and only let her have one if she sat on my lap first. I started off giving her one if she would sit on the sofa next to me. Once she...

    My cat doesn't cover her feces...

    Mine has never covered his poop either. We've tried everything and now given up. We just can't figure him out. Cairo actually spends a good couple of minutes pawing at the sides inside the box as though he knows he should be doing something else in there... he makes a big hoohah about it but...

    Going through the garbage

    I have no idea if this is a behavior or nutrition topic... Cairo is just over a year old now. He's starting to rumage through our garbage. We've even put the garbage in the cupboard and placed a chair in front of it. He pushes the chair and still gets inside the cupboard. Sometimes he licks...

    Treating the house

    Oh, I should mention I want to treat the house as quickly as possible as I have a small baby and I am worried she may get flea bites. We have doors on all rooms and our cat isn't allowed into the section of the house with the bedrooms... I'm really hoping that might have kept fleas from our rooms.

    Treating the house

    I think my cat has fleas. We are going to get the treatment for him, but how do we treat the house? I tried clicking on that flea guide but I kept ending up on a different page.

    Does my cat have a vision problem?

    That sounds like an interesting book. I'm glad at least my cat is normal then! My husband has been baffled as to how he could be so smart and then not find the little plastic bits. It makes a lot more sense now.

    Does my cat have a vision problem?

    He is an indoor cat so far as he has shown no interest at all in going outside. I've had cats all my life and didn't know that they are color blind to some colors. That might explain it!

    I need some advice

    I agree with the other poster. But, what happens if you don't feed her the dry food? Is her poop a normal consistency? I've had three cats in the passed all who had trouble with dry cat foods and once I removed it from their diets their problems remedied themselves. At the moment, I have...

    Does my cat have a vision problem?

    I can't decide if my cat has a vision problem or he isn't so clever when it comes to chasing things we throw for him. Most of his toys are big, suck as toy mice and such. But, he has several favorite pieces of plastic he insists are great fun (such as rings from the milk bottle and tops from...

    Biting

    Months ago I posted about my kitten who bites my husband, not aggressively, but in a manner that says "don't touch me, I'm her cat not yours". Anyhow, I've worked on all of the advice that was given, which was for my husband to do more and me less, such as my husband feeding the cat, giving all...

    Eating after neutering

    My cat was neutered one week ago. Since then he doesn't eat like he did before... not that he is barely eating or anything. Before he was neutered, he would eat three 85g cans of cat food per day and still be begging for our leftovers. Since he was neutered, he doesn't eat all his food. He...
