Ripley is a very laid back kitty and he is pretty passive. I can clip his nails (got him at a year old) and he will try to get away but has never scratched or bitten me. I gave him the antibiotic by basically holding his head, slipping the dropper in the side of his cheek and emptying it in...

My cat Ripley appears to be healthy in every respect. He is active, playful, and loving. He doesn't have an aggressive bone in his body, either. He eats well and seems fine. But once in a while, he will have these episodes. He gets kind of stiff and his pupils dilate. If he tries to walk, he...

I am currently looking for a vet and am not satisfied with the ones I have checked out. A friend of mine recommended a woman vet but she is about 40 minutes away and Rip does NOT like riding in the car. Do you have a list you go by or what???? Thanks!!!

the female cat in the neighborhood, especially when she is in heat and yowling on our front porch! Ripley is an indoor kitty, but he sure tries his darndest to get out and get to this certain female cat. I was bringing in groceries and he must have slipped out because I went back out for...

Nothing comes out, but he is sneezing quite a bit. He is eating normally and is playing pretty normally. Do I just wait to see how he does or do I need to see the vet???

After having a baby, she realized the cat wanted to get in and snuggle with the baby and that freaks her out. They tried putting the cat in the basement, but it cried all night. Apparently, her husband wants to shoot it, so I am considering taking him. He is 4 years old and front and back...

Who needs a dog when you have a cat that plays fetch? Ripley has this thick rubber bracelet (he can't ingest it at all as it is very thick and big) that he likes to play with. He will come and drop it at your feet and look at you expectantly. Me or the kids will throw and he goes bounding...

I accidentally bought a huge bag of clay cat litter. I didn't realize it until I cut it open and thought, man, those pieces look awfully big. DUH! Anyway, I hate to just throw it out, but i"ve never used clay litter. How do you clean out the box? Do you have to dump the whole thing every couple...

I just visited a rescue and met a wonderful little cat. She is a tortie and just the sweetest thing. I held her and she was already snuggling right up under my chin!!! She is about 8 months old. (If i get her, I am naming her Stella) Ripley is just over a year old and a male. He is friendly...

They were staring at each other through my big front window so there was glass between them. Neither looked upset: no fluffled up fur or hissing/growling/posturing. However, Ripley was making this weird humming/moaning sound. Again, just calmly sitting there, but making this weird sound loud...

He was fine when I left at about 5 p.m. but when I came home, my Dad noticed that Ripley was limping. I made him lay down and looked at the bottom of his paw. It looks normal. But he will hardly put pressure on his foot at all and right around the ankle area it looks bent-y and swollen. I have...

Btw, we are thinking of changing his name to Irving or Irwin. It seems to fit him better for some reason. He is driving us nuts really early in the morning. I think he just gets lonely and wants someone to play with. My dh says if we get another one, they will BOTH be jumping all over the place...

I was wondering if anybody can direct me to a good website to get frontline or advantax (sp???). The vets around here charge an arm and a leg and I know I can get it at a better price online. Thanks!

Yesterday was Sunday so we were at church for a while plus I was up at the hospital to see my Granny. Anyway, the cat was all sleepy all evening and I did try to play with him before I went to bed around midnight. Anyway, soon after I went to bed, he came alive! He kept jumping all over the...

Honestly, he is driving me bonkers!!! I love my cat but I am not going to stay up half the night because he wants to play. It's right when we go to bed and then again about 5:30/6 a.m. I am not a morning person, either. last night I shut him up in the laundry room, but I hate to do that if...

He has been laying around for 2 days now and just not himself. His litter box habits are normal; he is eating and drinking; he has not vomited or acted like he needs to. He is not running a temp and his gums are normal color. The only symptoms he has is lethargy and one of his eyes seemed a...

Ripley usually either sleeps in his carrier or sprawled in the middle of the floor. For some reason, he has been hanging out under the furniture today. He is now asleep under my youngest son's bed. The last time he did that, a series of severe storms that included tornadoes came through here...

He seems a bit bored. He did come from a very busy place with lots of other cats to play with, so I suppose it IS a bit quiet here. Although, we do play with him a lot. My youngest son is always dragging the mouse or throwing a ball or petting him or carrying him or whatever. It's so cute...

My husband was watching tv and saw Ripley mosey across our front porch!!! He went out and got him. Apparently, he opened the screen (they slide open) in the play room. We keep our windows open quite a bit when it is nice outside. Any suggestions to keep my Houdini from escaping? Does this mean...

Ripley is very friendly, never meeting a stranger. He is also very patient with my youngest son who likes to pick him up and carry him places. I try to limit this behavior so as not to annoy the cat to death and he knows how to do so correctly. Ripley doesn't really want to be held but will put...
