    My 5 month old male kitten is licking himself raw in a couple of spots. Under his back leg and a little bit on his belly by his back leg. I had him fixed exactly a week ago and all seemed fine. I tried to keep him quiet but that's almost impossible with kittens he seems to be healing fine...

    How can I teach my 3 month old kitten not to bite.

    I've usually adopted adult cats so teaching them not to bite wasn't an issue.  My first cat was a kitten but I don't remember her biting.  She was more of a scratcher and that was over 30 years ago.   I just adopted this 3 month kitten a week ago and he loves to attack my skin and bit.  He does...

    Cat hides when I get busy cleaning??

    Just wondered if this was weird behavior. My short haired domestic cat Rasta will hide under my bed when I start running around cleaning or get busy putting stuff away. She won't come out even if I slow down a minute and call her. She's a very docile cat by the way and totally sweet. Not...

    Ricky is suffering from a UTI again and has Chrystals

    Not sure what to do with him. He was hospitalized at the vets all weekend because he stopped eating and I had to go out of town this weekend and it was too late to cancel. The vet said his UT problems seemed to be stress related. I've been stressed out by fiances for awhile and the expense...

    Elderly cat with matting around a sensitive area.

    I have a 15 year Persian male cat with super thick long fur. He's put on a few pounds regardless of how careful I've been to feed him only the amount the vet recommended. I just can't get him to exercise at all. Well his weight has made him unable to clean the area around his butt and...

    Ever notice how happy your cats are after you clean.

    Mine hiss up a storm and view the vacum cleaner as their greatest enemy but when I'm done and everything is in order they romp around like it's Christmas. I do vacum every few days because with two cats (one of them who is thick long haired persian) you just have to due to the amount they shed.

    He was sick a few weeks ago and I took him to the vet who could find nothing wrong with him except a fever. He had a blood test that came out fine so the vet said he probably had a cold and put him on an anitbiotic. He did well on the antibiotic and seemed his old self but now he's acting...

    Sick cat.

    Looks like my older cat Ricky is having another IBD flare up. I got a new cat recently and started feeding him half dry and half wet. He had been on all wet food but wouldn't eat it as I was feeding the new cat dry food which was what she is used to and she won't eat wet food. So now the dry...

    He's hospitalized at the vets right now but he didn't eat for three days and vomited any fluids injected for all three days. The vet seems stumped. He was using his litter box ok and seemed to have no trouble with those functions so it's not a blockage or UT infection with he has a history...
