You guys seem to know so much (I've learned a lot from previous posts) I was wondering if you can help me. My smoke black cat (White fur under black) is supposedly half bombay. Thats what the animal hospital said when we got her. She does look like a little panther but her fur is not like a...

Have you ever heard a 1 day old kitten hiss at you? One of mine has hissed about 4 times now. What makes them do that? I thought the mother taught them to hiss later. Are they born with the instinct to hiss? Is he hissing because he is scared?

One of the three kittens (the white and grey male) is moving the others over and gets their nipple they were using. Yesturday, at 1 day old he weighed 4 ounces. The others were around 3.2. He is also the most vocal. I have tried matching sure the other two latch on to another nipple when he...

Here are Smokey's kittens. Smokey is a half bombay that is a black smoke (black on top and white underneath her fur, black nose and pads) They are all versions of grey. One is white and grey, one is grey stripped and one grey smoked (white underneath) Any ideas for names? The grey smoke has...

I just saw a flea on my new 1 day old kitten. Anything I can do? Soapy bath maybe?

I have a pregnant female that usually stays outside but we brought her in so she could have the kittens and we can get her fixed. Last night as I was coming in she bolted out the door unexpectedly. It was raining outside which was blowing my mind as to why she would run out. It was dark and...

I went to my shed out back tonight and was startled. A cat, one that I have seen around the neighborhood before, was laying on the floor. When I looked closer with the flashlight I saw that he wasn't breathing. His fur looked like it had been wet but had frozen in place. It had rained all...

My friend is going away for a week and has 2 outdoor cats. He leaves the garage open for them to sleep in and feed. He asked me if he left enough food for a week out, would the cat eat it all up in a day or two or would it pace itself all week. What do you think?

My friends cat is getting thick around the middle, past the ribs. Her belly is not 'hard' but squishy, for lack of a better word. Also I have noticed she has gotten more fur around her belly lately, though this may be due to her being an outdoor cat and the winter weather. She has been...

I have a cat that is a half bombay breed. She is black all over, yet when you rub her tummy underneath you can see bright white fur underneath the black. Looks like cotten. She has had this since she was a kitten, thats why we named her Smokey. Whats the cause of this? Do all cats have this...

There is a stray cat that keeps wondering around my friends farm. We noticed around Halloween that her tummy was larger than normal. I thought it was just worms or she was just getting fat off of food. Well my friend thinks she may be pregnant but it is now 3 weeks later and she looks about...

There is a stray kitten that I have seen in the neighborhood before. It is very friendly and will most of the time let you pet her. She even likes to go up to my neighbors puppies and plays with them in the backyard pin. She is around 12 to 15 weeks I believe. I found her yesturday laying on...

No sure if I am posting this in the right area, sorry if I'm not. I was wondering if the 'blue' color of a cats fur comes in many breeds or is it just russian blues. I love the color and can not afoard a pure breed cat and was wanting just a domestic cat with the blue color. Is their such a...

I have two new 13 week old kittens. I have had them about 4 weeks. One has already become very attached to us (licks us, meows at us, rubs head, etc.) but the other is very scared it seems. He ducks his head when we try to pet him and runs up for food and then runs away after he eats or if...
