I have a 2.5-year-old male cat that just returned from a daily outing that turned into 10 days being gone. We had some very cold nights (teens) during that time and I'm afraid he may have gotten a touch of frostbite on the edges and tips of his ears. The vet has seen him (besides some signs of...

Yes, I did too, I was just hoping I'd be out there when it came down so I could at least try to get it inside to warm up, fed and maybe even a nap before determining what kind of condition it was in (hopefully not hurt in any way) after at least 17 hours in the top of that tree.  I keep watching...

Well, the end of the story is that sometime between 1:30am and 3:30am, the little cat decided to leave its perch high in the tree and disappear off into the darkness.   The dogs were inside and most, if not all the cats were too, so after that long and frigid ordeal, I'm sure he/she hit the...

Ugh.  Nothing is working like we'd hoped.  The first branches start at over 12 ft. and the diameter of the tree is so small that a grown person can't even safely climb it in these 15-25 mph winds and I'm not even sure it would be possible during the day for the right person with the right...

I actually googled this problem a lot before I posted here, hoping to find something useful and what you proposed is what the internet said to do, but getting a bucket truck out here would be really costly since I'm 45 minutes from the nearest big city that would have that kind of equipment. ...

More than likely this cat was dumped and possibly was even an inside cat, which could account for why it's acting as petrified as it is and has gone up as high as it can in this tree to where it Y's for the last time.  It is also young.  The wind has been cold and brutal today and it is supposed...

Wow, 3 days?!!  There's no way we'll let this little one be up there that long, and if the branches weren't so spindly up where he's at, I'd climb up there and get him myself, but in the wind and being alone, I'd rather wait for back up.  I just feel so bad for this little guy/gal because they...

I'm out in the country and all we have is volunteer fire departments, so that's not really an option.  That, and I'm not sure a big bucket truck could even get into this area with all the trees and if they did, they'd make a huge mess of my soft yard.

Hey Guys and Gals,  I've got a dilemma and I'm hoping someone on here has some experience or good advice for me.  I went outside about 8:20am this morning to let my dogs and cats in/out and whatever from the garage before starting work and I noticed some crows squawking loudly in the nearby...

So sorry for your loss.  Taking in stray cats and dogs, I have gone through many, many spays and neuters and I hold my breath every time one of them has to go through it until I get the word that everything is ok or go to pick them up.  I have also lost beloved pets from drug side effects I was...

Entry Any of the flat (horizontal) scratchers would be great, and thank you so much for the contest!

I've had good luck getting all six of my cats to consistently eat Nature's Logic Chicken Feast formula.  You can go to Nature's Logic website and request a free sample.  The ingredients are good and just fyi, the dog and cat food versions are the same, so you can buy the bigger dog food cans for...

Great news!  I've always read to move the litter box SLOWLY where you want/need it to be until you get it to the desired spot. I've never used feliway, but I have researched it since I just added another cat to the household and wanted to be ready for any problems.  The reviews were so mixed...

I'm sorry you are going through this.   I know how frustrating it is when you have an animal with issues and have to try to figure out what the problem is and how to solve it.  I've never had this experience before, but I do know how animals tend to think, so here's my thoughts for you. First...

Poor Miss Sunday!  She's been through so much change recently in homes and with vet visits, maybe all the change has thrown her system off.  I agree though, feed her whatever you have to to get her to eat.  Once she's settled in a bit more and relaxed, you can worry more about it.  My cats also...

I've had new cats show up that don't seem to be interested in toys at all at first.  My best luck has been with toys that roll.  I have vinyl and hardwood floors, so I use marbles, ping pong balls, tennis balls that bounce or roll or in the case of the tennis ball, that they can grab ahold of...

As soon as he starts scratching the screen, pick him up and take him to the scratcher to use instead.  You can rake your fingernails or whatever across it to make the scratchy sound that entices them to do the same.  When he does, pet him and love him to show him that's a good behavior. ...

If the pill can be crushed or emptied, I've always had good luck with sardines in water mashed up into sludge with the powder stirred in a little bit of it to worm my cats.  Also, my cats are big cheese lovers, so if your cat is too, maybe get some and warm it up where it's pliable and not too...
