My kitty is vomiting after eating AGAIN. She goes through these phases sometimes and occasionally once she starts vomiting it seems like she can't stop and continues to throw up even when she no longer has food in her stomach. The first time this happened we took her to the emergency vet, they...

I know some people on here have exotic cats, like bobcats and cougars and such. Anyone ever heard of people having sand cats in their home? I saw a sand cat at the zoo and thought it was the most adorable thing. They don't seem to be any bigger than a domestic cat and are supposedly pretty...

I am thinking about volunteering at a cat shelter. I know that the shelter has FIV cats. I just really don't know anything about FIV. So I was wondering: If I end up handling an FIV cat, is there any possibility that I could somehow put my own cat in danger of catching it? For example, if an...

I had to bring Snickers to the emergency vet yesterday! She had been vomiting for almost three days about 7 times each day. I withheld food on the advice of the vet, but she continued to vomit, only since she didn't have any food in her stomach, she was just vomiting white foamy liquid. And...

Snickers has thrown up three times in the last two weeks. But the weird part is that it's not really throw-up per se. It's more like spit up. The puddles are just clear liquid. Any ideas what could be causing this? Her food? water? Some allergen in the house? Other than the puddles, she seems...

Have y'all seen those pet strollers in stores? I think it would be so fun and cute to put Snickers in the stroller and take her for a walk. My boyfriend thinks it's crazy (though admits that it would be very cute). Would y'all look at someone strangely if you saw them walking down the street...

My cat just did the craziest thing. I started singing, and my cat all of a sudden jumped up on me and started licking my arm furiously. I think my singing triggered it. Does that mean she likes my singing? Or does it mean my singing is THAT bad, and she was trying to get me to stop?

This is probably a dumb question, but what the heck. I'm thinking about getting a cat tree for Snickers since I've moved into a bigger apartment and she could probably use the exercise. But how do they work? For the big tall ones, do you need to install them. I mean, do they need to be bolted to...

Today in the newspaper there was an article about a string of animal abuse incidents that happened in East Boston. It broke my heart. One involved a cat that was wrapped in a towel and set on fire, which obviously killed it. The other involved a cat that someone had wrapped a rubberband around...

A while back I posted asking if anyone had used the hidden litter box that looks like a potted plant (It's in all the skymall catalogs on airplanes). Well, I finally got it, and it looks fantastic! (Also, it's cheaper if you get it online directly from the manufacturer rather than through the...

My mom's cat, Aries, has a limp tail all of a sudden. When she's standing, the tail is bent at the base and is hanging straight down. When we touch it, she meows, so I'm assuming she's in some pain. There are no scratches or any indication of an injury on the fur or skin. We're going to take her...

I was eating apricots the other day, and my cat went crazy trying to get some. I gave her a little tiny nibble and she went even more crazy trying to get more. She even licked my fingers clean. Her behavior was almost like that of cats who react to cat nip. Apparently she LOVES apricots...

There is a really neat looking litterbox in the airline skymall catalogs. It's a litter box disguised as a fake potted plant. The cat enters through an opening on one side of the fake pot. I guess on the inside is a litterbox but on the outside it really does look like a large potted plant. Does...

I'm taking my kitty on an airplane in about a week. I have the carrier and have gotten some good tips. My question now is about needing a health certificate. The airline web site said that while the airline itself does not require any kind of health certification, the state traveled to might. I...

My kitty loves to explore the caves of blankets, boxes, suitcases, and pillows.

Such a loose kitty. This is Snickerdoodle all grown up.

Has anybody used the Perfect Coat Bath Wipes that came in an orange package? I loved them because I thought they smelled better than any other bath wipe, and now I can't find them ANYWHERE. Petsmart seems to no longer carry them. They're nowhere to be found on the Internet. I checked the...

I just bought some Cat Faeries Flower Essences. I haven't even really used it on my cat yet, but am wondering if I've been had! The ingredients on the bottle say that it's 50% water and 50% Brandy! The informational insert says "a Flower essence is the vibration or energy of a flower imprinted...

I finally got around to posting some pictures of Snickerdoodle (thanks to my web savvy boyfriend). Both of these are baby pictures so she's significantly bigger now and has grown into her ears, but she's still just as cute and still a baby in my eyes!

Whoever posted about mixing liquid antibiotics with the water from a can of tuna fish, thank you thank you thank you!!! My kitty totally fell for it! Hopefully I can get this to last for one more day!
