I am venturing to guess that your cat is reaching the end of its life. If you ever observed your cat or dog circling before bedding down, this is a nesting behavior. Your cat may be doing this in preparation for death. It may feel reluctance but may eventually sucumb to the inevitable.

My seven year old persian cat has been trying to urinate in her litterbox, but little if any comes out. She eats and drinks just fine. Her rear end smells very uriny. Any idea what this could be. Urinary tract infection? She has had this for about a week.

I own three persians. One which is seven years old is having a tough time adjusting. She eats and drinks but is not gaining much weight, her fur growth is slow and she just looks depressed and blah. Until about a week ago she is making more appearances and not hiding as much. We haven't been...

Do Petco or Petsmart cut cat hair?

I would also venture to guess that it helps to know the pedigree line. That is why buying from a store can be a problem later. I am not saying that is what you did. I bought three persians from a breeder and know my cats family tree back to the 1970s

I purchased some Royal Canin this weekend from our local Petsmart. I wanted to see what was so special about it. I don't know what it is but my three persians are in love with it. The other brand I am using is Eagle. They enjoy it too, but not like this brand. My cats took an instant liking to...

I am not a newbie but I did just get a 4-month old cream female persian. I have two eight year old persians at home. They are all getting along great. With the exception of the ocassional hiss. But that's expected. It even tried to jump in the bathtub with my wife and into my dish water as I was...

We keep our litter box close to the door. As soon as it has some stool we toss it out into the garbage outside the door. We also use a special dry cat food that produces smaller stool and a bit less smell. I find that a lot of other dry cat food contains corn etc. that animals as with humans...

I am fairly new to cats. Learning as I go along. I am thinking about getting a fleece blanket or something to cover our furniture (specifically sofa). When machine washing fleece or other blanket will hair come out? I use sticky roller but some still stays on. Thanks

I have had numerous pets so far in my life. A cockerspaniel for 15 years, a german shepard/chow chow mix from the humane society. He had to be returned because he didn't care to be indoors and our yard is too small. Two lovebirds which we gave away to a bird breeder because we were expecting a...

Thanks for responding to my question about whether or not to return one of my cats. I emailed and phoned the breeder. He said that she is probably going thru depression. She is eating, drinking and going to the bathroom. But she is behind in coat growth, and increase in odor, tongue partially...

I don't recall exactly what they said. But I believe she was not as enthusiastic. To be quite honest, I was hoping she would be touchable and stuff. But she isn't. She is no fun at all and I don't want her just lying around if I can't do something with her.

About three weeks ago I received two 8-year-old persian calico cats. Popcorn is very affectionate. MS. Skeeter is extremely shy and after a few gentle touches she runs and hides in the dark. I wrote the private seller (from our area) if she would be willing to take back the cat. She breeds cats...

I finally received my two persian calico cats yesterday afternoon. It was the first time I saw them. They were absolutely gorgeous. Both cats are 5 year old retired breeders. I bought them potty trained, well behaved and spayed. Right now they are still quite shy and hiding under furniture. I am...

I have been searching newspapers, placing want ads, checking the web for a persian kitten. Everybody seems to be just out of reach. Then just yesterday I received an email that a breeder was selling two persian calicos that were once used as breeders. As luck would have it, she only lives 10...

I recently stopped at a local pet store that was selling persian kittens for $329.00 . What is your opinion on pet stores vs breeders. Breeders tend to be a bit more expensive. Are the ones in the store pets rather than breeders or show? Thanks!

I recently purchased a Himalayan kitten with cute blue eyes. The seller was a very experienced and well-knowledge breeder. Her Himalayans were gorgeus. I only had to pay $40.00. I asked why the low price, since most go for hundreds of dollars. She was a somewhat elderly lady who has been doing...
