First, I love the new site.  To the ones that made this up, congrats and thank you very much. Well, we up to 8 cats now, a new one came today, about 5 weeks old, in the weaning stages.  But she is not the problem.  We have an older cat, whom we call Mama.  She has no front claws (we got her...

Our 17 yr old male cat has an ear that has gone floppy. He has an area inside it that has a hematoma that has caused the ear to go this way. We put him on antibiotics and he is recovering. It does not bother him, we keep both ears clean. Here is my issue from this problem. Ever since...

strange_wings, I just know what our vet told us at that time. We have had no more troubles in any of our cats since then. With 8 you would think we see more problems, nothing like living in the sub-tropicals here...lol. Our biggest problems here are the outbreaks of fleas during the wet...

Our Dakota had them from day one. Considering where my stepdaughter found him, he is lucky to be alive. Our vet told us about the heartworms and it will go away on it own. Because of the way cats are, it was not as serious like in dogs. We put Dakota on the meds after the test came back...

Karll, We have one that acts just like you stated, keeps one paw up. We got her(she was about 8 yrs old) from my husband's mom when she passed away 2 yrs ago. Out of our 8 cats, she is the only one that is declawed. And she holds her own within our home. Since we have gotten her, watching...

Shaky hon, this is a power, Ever seen the laundry stuff call Mule Team 20/20? Borax? We use it like you use the power on the rugs, set for 20 minutes, vaccum. Soon tho, I will not have any carpet left... we are remodelling room by room(the cats would love to get in the 3rd bedroom right...

Sharky, it maybe so. I been told otherwise by vets and farmers over the years. And it has never bothered mine in all the years I have been using it. BTW that over 20 yrs now with different houses and animials. And my home's flea issues only happen during the early spring/summer time here in...

Our Daisy did that to my husband when she was young. Only she would stand his chest and put her nose/mouth into his (he was snoring, just like a man) and her whiskers would wake him up. As soon as he was awake, she meow and get down off him,,,,,lol This went on for about 6 months, until she...

And old farmer taught me to use Borax(In the laudry alse) on my floors (esp. carpet). Laid it out like to would the freshners, and vacuum it up in about 20 minutes. Kills the fleas. Do that about once a month and you have no problems in the home. And it has never bother any of my cats over...

Get off the Purina, We had that problem, and we have 8 cats. I went to Iams, and have since had no problems like that. The Purina one I had 3 that could not even eat that dry. Good luck

Thanks ladies, She has always been "afraid" of being picked up. I do understand that has she hates ( would imagine it hurts her front feet) to climb down from even the height of our bed. Before she came to us, my SIL had her with 2 dogs, she spend alot of time alone(MIL was very sick for over...

We know it is urine, just ask hubby, he can smell that 10 miles away Does she have any arthritis? Oh yes, and I hurt for her. One of the things my MIL did was have her front paws declawed(WE do not believe in that at all!) I know she aches at times, and I know she has been somewhat better...

I have been away a long time, so let me first re-introduce myself. I am married with 8 teens and one teenager (making this 9 teenagers in my house...) ranging from an old man of 16 to the youngest at just under a year old now. All my cats are fixed and have all their shots. They spend most...

Oh, say about 14-20 lbs? My sister had one like that, he was big. My neighbor has one that she puts in a harness(dog MEDIUM) and leash to walk in the yard. My sister's live to be 21 and he was an indoor only, she lost him last year. they do, but also they do come in bigger sizes. My Figget...

Ok, it has been awhile since I have been on, but I have to ask if anyone else has ever dealt with this. Our male Dakota is our "special" kitty. Because of some brain damage from birth(his front and back feet don't talk to one another) and seizures when he was very young, we keep a close eye on...

nope, my husband does the meds with them. He finds that he "lays" on them(leaning over the bed with the pill in the syringe) talking to them the entire time. He makes them ope the mouth by rubbing thier throat. If you cat is like our Daisy..about half wild.. then it is very hard. But most...
