My cat has been diagnosed with Feline Difuse Iridial Melanoma - eye cancer. he is 7 years old. Our Feline Opthalmologist says that we should bring him in for monitoring every 3 months but that we should eventually take out his eye to prevent spreading. I asked why we wouldn't just take the eye...

Hi, I have a poor kitty who has been excessively shedding from January through July! I keep reading that this is supposed to stop but it never has! She gets brushed daily (often, multiple times a day), but the hair keeps floating out. Our other cat, who eats the same food and lives in the...

Hi, I have two short-haired cats who are causing me big hair messes on my furniture. I got the cats this fall and they hardly left any hair on the furniture at all until December. Now, I can't keep up. Beyond brushing more and changing to a better food, does anyone have any advice on how I...

I started clipping my cats' nails a few months ago - the vet said a regular set of human nail clippers would be fine, so I have been using them. Last week, I was checking the length of their nails and noticed that some of them are splintering and getting fuz caught in them. I never noticed...

This may sound silly, but I have having problems telling whether or not my cats are playing or fighting. They are male and female and both are fixed. The behavior involves one pouncing on the other and then they roll around for a while. I have seen them both biting each other but have never...

Okay, this may seem like an odd question. However, my "older" cat is 1 year old and is very skiddish. If you walk past her when she's not expecting it she gets very scared. She is also a bit scared of our kitten. They get along okay, but sometimes he sneaks up behind her and pounces on her...

I need some feedback on this. I have had my kitten for a month now (he is now 8 months). When we (my husband and I) got him from the shelter all he wanted was for us to hold him like a baby - he just purred and purred. A month later, he still likes to be held, but in the evenings only. We...

I was told I should introduce myself. I'm not a big forum person, but so far, I think this one is great! I've gotten some really great advice (but it is distracting while I'm at work!) I got my one and only cat when I was 8 years old - 18 years later she is still alive and kicking and lives...

How long do cats behave like kittens? I have a 10 month old who acts like a full grown cat and a 7 month old who is a playful kitten. Is there such a difference between 7 and 10 months in age? When does the average cat start to lose its kittenhood?

Hi, I'm trying to stop my kitten from playing aggressive with my older cat. The older cat gets very scared when the little one tries to play with her? We have been using a quirt bottle to distract him from playing with her, but that stops working if we turn our heads for a second. Does anyone...

We have had my cat Nahzy for 5 weeks- she is a spayed female, 1 year old. 1 week after we got her, we got a 6-month old kitten named Hayes. We immediately kept hayes in another room and never brought him out around Nahzy. Hayes has been in his own room for 1 month now - he is a neutered male...
