    Does moving a newborn litter hurt them?

    This is unfortunately regarding the same litter mentioned in the cow's milk thread and sadly they are all gone now. My cousin is blaming her teenage daughter, because they were born in her closet and she insisted they be moved. She could not be convinced to let them stay, and so the mother my...

    Kittens and cow's milk?

    Sorry if this has been discussed before but I tried to search and nothing came up. My cousin who lives way out in the country just called (she's got no internet) to say she is frantic because her mother cat has rejected one of her newborns, but it sounds more to me like that one is just not...

    Do ferals sometimes migrate in the summer?

    I've been feeding a family of cats behind a local resturant and since the weather has gotten hot I hardly see them anymore. In the winter they were all there every day waiting for me. Now days and even weeks go by and I don't see some or all of them. If I didn't see each one at least once in...

    http://icanhascheezburger.com/category/lolcat/ I can't believe I never have before now. They were started by the Happycat saying "I can has cheezburger?" and there are now hundreds of posed, mischevious, captioned cats. Maybe you can make your own LOLcatz!

    Anybody ever experience a grieving mother?

    This is such a sad story, I had to ask. My friend at work had a mother cat who had 5 kittens and lost them all in 3 weeks. She feels terribly guilty about the time she left them alone and thinks there is something she could have done to save them if she was there. Worst of all, her mother cat...

    Falling off the bannisters in her sleep, help!

    My 3 year old female, after spending 3 weeks roosting on the cable box, has decided to take root on the upstairs bannister railing! I'm not even worried about her claws digging in the wood, I'm worried because she loses her grip in her sleep and falls to the ground! It's at least a 15 foot drop...

    Fading kitten syndrome

    What are the causes, and is there no cure? Is it really the same as SIDS in babies? I'm very worried about this. Please everyone post your experience with this, thank you.

    Dehydration and Pedialyte- HOW? Help!

    I am absolutely devastated. My daughter's favorite kitten the one she's claimed and named is going through the same thing the other one did. I've done everything on your list and he's not thin or cold, but he's still weak and won't eat. I've given him formula by eyedropper, but since he failed...

Before you bash me for not spaying, please believe me when I tell you I had been told she was infertile due to a sickness in kittenhood, and in two years had never gone into heat. This was a surprise. Now for the emergency! One of...

    Lymphoma in cats?

    I am terrified. I just noticed a hard lump on the left side of my cat's jaw. He is normal otherwise, eating and very active. But I had a dog with Lymphoma, it started just like this, and he died. So naturally I am worried. But I read on a website that cats don't get it in their necks like dogs...

    This is an unusual problem, but a worrysome one. My aunt's cat. a two year old indoor female, has a swollen tail. It doesn't appear to be injured, and she seems fine otherwise, healthy appetite, still using litter pan, doesn't seem to be in pain unless tail is touched. She is a very nervous cat...

    Cat freaked out when we moved, HELP!

    I had heard a lot of nightmarish stories about cats running off when you move, so I was very careful with mine. However, one of them completely freaked out and hid in the heater ducts of the house! I couldn't get him out, even my other cat, who he's very close to, didn't calm him (she's purring...
