We got a new cat 3 days ago from a no-kill shelter. He's been checked by vet, vaccinated, neutered and taken well care of. Also been fostered. He is 3-4 yrs old, they believe. Strong and healthy, very slim but not skinny. Just perfect weight. He's been on Purina Pro Plan kibbles which they gave...

Is it normal for a cat to vomit a full meal just to get rid of a hairball? My cat is very fussy about being brushed, so it's hard to get her hair out. She's of medium length. She's been vomiting about once a week or every other week or so, and it's always a full meal that comes up, with either a...

Someone I know lost her husband a couple of days ago. They are not close to me in any way, however I know the lady somewhat and have talked to her on several occations. She is a very close friend of my SIL. The dh was only 39-40 yrs old or so, and we prayed for him a lot during a one year battle...

Someone at another board just posted this link, to show where she got the plans for their new cat tree. It looked real nice. She said they payed about $80 instead of $200 at the store, plus it's better quality too. Thought I'd share it, in case some of you are interested...

Someone I know has a dog that they had neutered at the age of 6 mo. Since then, he (lab) has had a problem with fecal "accidents" all around the clock. He did have a reaction to a medication regarding the fix, and it is not clear yet what the problem is at this point; mental or physical. I told...

I need to know whether this may be a bacterial pink eye or not: She was pink in one eye this morning, and more red now in the evening. Meaning in the white of the eye. It is not draining at all, but starting to itch, and hurting if she rubs it. She's almost 8 yrs old. She just started a cold...

My cats are scratching furniture now and then, and though their claws are clipped, I'd still like to get them to stop. They have a good cat tree that they like to scratch too. I have sprayed on a couple different "cat repellant" sprays that they seem to want to ignore, but today I purchased...

You know you're getting old when -your back goes out more often than you do -when you bend down to pick up something, you look around to see if there is anything else you can pick up while you're down there anyway... I know there's a whole list of these, and I'd love to read them all again...

To my understanding I should free feed my cats until they are about a year old. They are about 7 -8 mo. old right now, and they were spayed at around 5 mo. They are on Nutro natural kitten kibbles. They don't seem to over eat, though it's hard to say since I fill up the bowl whenever it goes...

My cat had an URI when I got her; she was 8 weeks old at the time. She was also malnurished. Anyway, she had a very runny nose, with yellow mucus coming from it. And sneezing etc. She is now around 8 mo. old and I'm wondering if she had a permanent damage to her nose due to her URI? She seems...

Both of my 6 mo old kittens are very gentle, sweet cats. Both are spayed, but not declawed. They are becoming indoor cats now, but I am holding off cutting their claws in case they should escape out, but also because they are generally gentle on furniture and on us, and they love climbing the...

She isn't much of a cuddler, actually, but when she gets in the mood, she is very cuddly and wants to be picked up. She isn't happy to sit on my lap to cuddle, she has to be carried in my arms and up to my neck, like she wants to hug me. She loves to be carried like a baby, up to look over my...

http://www.bullwrinkle.com/index.htm....htm~indexmain Go all the way down the page, to the yellow "pet hair magnet"... Does it work well, and is it worth the money?

I realize this question must be asked often on here, so if you have some good links, I'd love for somebody to post them for me... Otherwise, here's my question: I have 2 kittens, about 1/2 yr old. They are not from the same litter. One doesn't shed a thing, hardly, while the other one now has...

My 6 mo old kitten (Senja) is rather fussy about eating foods she's not used to (she's used to dry catfood), especially if there is a pill crushed into it... My jasmine would LOVE to have it in Senja's place... Senja has an absess / infection and needs to be on antibiotics for 10 days at least...

My 6 mo. old kitten (female) had a lump on her back/neck a month or so ago, that turned out to be a reaction to a shot. It went away within a week or two. Now she's got another lump, this time on the side of her belly, right under her ribs. It is a hard, round lump about the size of a large...

I don't know where this thread belongs... My two 1/2 yr old kittens used to be able to go outside now and then, which they loved. Now we are wondering if we should try to make them inside-only cats, but wondering how difficult this will be. Since they remember the outside at this point, and...

Is cat and dog urine similar? I read that if a cat's urine stain is still wet, to not use vinigar on it because it makes matters worse. If it is dry, then you can use vinigar. Does this count for dog's urine as well? My BIL recently got a dog that tinkles on the floor whenever something is...

Lately, as I stroke one of my cats, there seem to be static electricity going on. She always gets her nose or ears zapped whenever I stroke her. So she's getting more apprehensive to let me stroke her now. How can I avoid this? I though about rubbing my hands with a bounce sheet or lotion, but...
