    I need to know about females "heat"

    A female cat can stay in a heat cycle for a number of days at a time and can cycle every 2-3 weeks and this can go on virtually year-round. It will seem like she is always in heat. Not only is there an increased risk of pregnancy, but repeated heat cycles can cause all sorts of internal...

    New Kitten.

    I can sympathize with you on the disappearance of your Cloudy. I went through something similar 4 years ago when my cat Oreo (he was my love boy, so I was very heartbroken over his disappearance). Oreo didnt come home again, but many cats who do leave home do come back again. So keep your...

    Moogle in trouble!

    Oh honey, I am sooo sorry to hear that...but I am so thankful that you were there with him as he began his journey back home. I know you are hurting right now, but please know you gave that kitten the best two weeks he could have ever gotten. With you, he stood a chance...whereas without you...

    Moogle in trouble!

    I couldnt wait to get home tonight to get a Moogle report. I know you both live all the way across the US, but Ive followed this little guy since your very first post. Ive been thinking about him all day and I did say a prayer or two along the way for this tiny little Florida kitten who stole...

    Cat scared of new fan light!

    From the sounds of things, the parents have installed these ceiling fans in all rooms of their home. So I dont think that its really a matter or putting her in another room to get away from the fan because it sounds like the fans are everywhere. Besides, Ive gathered from what Ive read so far...

    Cat scared of new fan light!

    You could try a softer lightbulb, but Id venture to guess that its just the look of it and the shadow that it no doubt casts down on your room that is causing her distress. She could possibly view it as some sort of predator in the sky, but Im no Cat Whisperer While in the room with you, just...

    Cat scared of new fan light!

    Well, maybe you could try laying on your bed with her while the fan just lurks above (Id not have the fan part on if possible right now, she has to get used to the look of it without the extra terror of the motion it would cause)...pet her, reassure her in soft tones that things are ok, and just...

    Moogle in trouble!

    My cats (Simon, Mr. Pooh, and Callie) and I all send our prayers Moogle's way. From the lips of kitties to God's ears. Keep us posted, ok? And please do not lose faith and hope either. It is through those two things that all miracles happen.

    older cat mating behavior

    Sounds like its a dominance issue. Keiko is asserting that he is top dog (err, top cat) of your household. Im pretty sure there isnt anything that you are going to be able to do to discourage the behavior. Im sure there is some great information somewhere on this website pertaining to new cat...

    Cut/tear in ear - will it heal?

    My 2 year old tabby Simon also has a little pie wedge on the outer edge of his left ear. I am not sure how he injured it exactly, but when I discovered it...I used some antibiotic cream and let it heal on its own. It looked like a little slice and the ends just never grew back together. Your...

    5-6week old kitten poo stuck

    What kind of food is your baby eating? Some commercially prepared kitten formulas cause constipation. Also go a bit easy on changing foods in rapid succession as it can cause gastric problems in little ones because of their fragile tummies. Select a good one and try it out, use that one on...

    my cat wont eat

    Honey, I am so sorry that you and your girl are experiencing this time in your journey together. We (myself, my daughter, and my 3 purry babies) send our prayers and thoughts to beautiful Reba and your family. You are doing (or have done) the kindest, most heartbreaking thing any pet lover...

    Help with new baby.

    Oh my God, he is just the cutest little darling. As for where to find colostrum, check with nutritional or holistic stores/vets in your area. We got ours through a holistic vet that saw alot of the ferals we T.A.R'ed and cared for the kittens we would foster and then adopt. From how he is...

    Licking my scalp!

    While I am no cat expert at their mental quirks, Id venture to guess that its a comfort issue for your little one. She is fur covered, your head is "fur" covered

    Help with new baby.

    If you can, try to see if you can locate some powdered colostrum for Moogle too. We used it with the feral cat rescue I worked at in Texas for the little kittens we rescued. The kittens get colostrum from their momma when they nurse, which contains the good antiboody stuff they need to get a...

    Mother died, one kitten remaining

    I dont know if you have much access to it up there, but powdered colostrum might help out the little one's immune system as well. We used it with the kittens we rescued with the feral cat organization I worked with down in Texas...and it really seemed to help the little ones out. I havent used...

    Help new kitty pooh and pee ahhhh!!!

    How young is your little kitten? If he/she is really young, this might work to train it. This worked for me when I was raising some kittens that were orphaned...and I managed to get them all litter box trained that way. Get yourself an old towel, cut it into little pieces...then wrap a piece...

    biting

    I use the lower voiced, "I mean business" NO myself with my cats and it works very well at nipping problems in the bud. Ive never been one to flick a nose or spank or anything like that myself...the decided no the other person mentioned worked for me when establishing how things are supposed to...

    Spaying & Neutering

    Everything Ive ever been told is around 4-6 months. Ive had vets tell me they wont do it until 6 months, but others will do it based on their weight (Ive been checking as I have a young cat myself who recently decided to adopt me, though he is giving me the illusion that Ive adopted him )...
