 clip my cats nails every two week and haven't had a problem. Yesterday when I went to clip them I found that he as 1 overgrown nail. It looks as if it hasn't been clipped in months!! It did NOT get into the pad, but close! His nails are light colored and it looks like the quick is all the way...

We have gorgeous feral cat that is living in a log pile in our yard. When we first saw him about 2-3 months ago, he looked BAD. Scraggly, skinny, he could barely walk. We began feeding him and he looks a LOT better now! He is scared of humans. I am concerned about the winter weather and have...

My cat Semper is just turning 7. He is a BIG cat, 18.7 lbs. The vet said he does not have extra fat, he's just big. I do want to work on getting his weight down a bit though. Anyway, he HATES being in the car. A few years ago we moved and the trip was about 15 hours. He didn't want to eat...

I am in desperate need of a temp foster home for 2 adult male cats, in or around Oceanside, CA. It is a domestic violence situation and there is a young girl in the middle of it all. Not only are her parents splitting up (under bad circumstances) she will lose her kitties if they cannot be...

My duaghter has 2 indoor cats. One is actually a 13 week old kitten that she got from the Humane Society a few weeks ago...ANYWAY....she found a few fleas, over a course of about a week. She bathed the cats, put meds on them (with the ok from the HS), vacuumed, etc but is now finding TONS of...

We have a kitten who is about 10 weeks old. Last night I saw a flea, then today I gave him a bath and found another one. What would be the best way to treat him? We have a newborn baby (3 days old) in the house so we want to stop this in it's tracks....any adivice? And then when we get rid of...

My daughter has a spayed female cat, just under a year old. She is like a spoiled, only child. Very loving/cuddly. My daughter will be having a baby in this next week. She was due yesterday but no sign of her (baby) coming so the dr will induce next week, if she doesn't have her by then. Next...

My daughter is adopting a kitten next week. It will be about 12 weeks old. They have been fostered (not sure why) for the past weeks. He has only about 1 1/2" of his front leg. Sometimes he walks (or tries) on it and sometimes he doesn't. He was born this way. Question is: Would it be better...

I don't think that this is the right forum to put this in but does anyone know if there is ANYTHING i can do to my cat (bath,spray,etc) to help with an allergy to cats? My son in law is very allergic to cats and will be coming for a visit. he will be taking meds but i am wondering if there is...

My mom cat has been growling and hissing at her son, who is now almost 10 months old. They are spayed/nuetered and there are other cats in the house, so why does she 'dislike' her baby?

I posted in another thread but need to get an answer soon as possible! I have to take my cat on a long trip (about 16 hours) in the car. I have tried to get him used to it by taking him on rides around town. What freaked me out the first time is that he was 'open mouth panting'. Is this...

We have 2 'older' cats, about two years old, 1 male 1 female, both spayed/nuetered. We also have a female about a year old, who had kittens this summer. The 3 cats (and our dogs) always got along well UNTIL the kittens came. The older female (Pooh) now growls at everyone both human and animal...

I took Spots and her babies in this morning. I had been a bit frustrated because they told me numerous times over the phone that they will NOT spay her if still still has milk, and would not do the babies until they are 4 months old. Well, keeping them apart has been hell! They are almost as...

I was able to get an appointment for the 17th for mom and her 3 kids! They are just short of 4 months and even though they are STILL trying to nurse from time to time, the clinic said to bring her in. They don't do spying when there is still milk but they said that they will look at her and if...

OK, I need some help from those of you who have had litters close to each other! My kittens will be 13 weeks old this Sunday. I just found out that hubby accidently let the mom out a few weeks ago. He really doesn't remember if it was 3 or 4 weeks ago...he said she wasn't gone long and he...

My 3 kittens are now 11 1/2 weeks old. There are 2 that are white/black like mom and 1 who is grey striped/white. It is SO odd because the 'odd' looking one seems to act so very different from the the others. They all will eat/play/sleep together but on many occassions, the odd one is off on his...

My kittens are 10 weeks old today. They have been eating both wet and dry food for awhile now, but still continue to nurse from time to time. Mom let's them but never for very long. The problem is that the clinic where she will be spayed will not do her until her milk has dried up...they...

First off let me tell you how much I enjoy this site! I have come on with odd questions and always get the info I need! My question now is.... Is it normal for my 8 week old male kitten to clean the female kitten's bottom? Like mom used to do when they were young. He doesn't do it to the other...

I have read this forum for a few months now and it has been a great help to me! But I am wondering about 'worms' and worming cats. Is it just so common that all cats need to be wormed? What would cause worms? I have never (until a couple of years ago) been a cat person, and I see things in this...

This probably doesn't belong in this thread but since this is where I post, I am putting it here.... We have 3 kittens that will be 8 weeks old tomorrow. My daughter and I were out and about today at stopped at Petco for some food. PACA was there holding a cat/kitten adoption. Of course we went...
