    Mystery Illness

    OK, first of all many thanks everyone for all your help. Follow up is, this morning before Jeanne went to work Yowee was moving around, went out to her breakfast dish, and ate 10 small pieces of kibble, but didn't drink anything. She's usually a big drinker, but the vet had really filled her...

    Mystery Illness

    Hello Everyone, My neighbor has a Siamese mix spayed female cat who is about 1 1/2 years old. She is strictly an indoor cat and has never gotten out other that to go to the vet. She has regular vet appointments and has been up until maybe 3 days ago a seemingly healthy cat. She lives with...

    Weird litter box problem

    Thanks all for your replies and opinions. I really think it's that particular litter doing what it's suppose to do-----attract cats! When I took Billy in the vet also checked his bladder and it was empty, so he's going somewhere. Kiki the other cat uses it box regularly, but has never used...

    Weird litter box problem

    Hello everyone, I have two feral cats that have been fixed. One is Kiki and the other is Billy. Unfortunately they don't like each other----but that's another story. Both have been indoor/outdoor cats and all was going well until Kiki decided he no longer wanted to go outside and therefore...

    Cat Bites

    Thanks everyone for all your opinions and I'll pass them on. Great reassurance for her I'm sure as well as me. I haven't been bitten yet, but I'm certainly happy to lean I won't have to be running for medical assistance if and when I do. All depends on the bite so I'll tell her to act...

    Cat Bites

    Hello all, My neighbor has recently gotten a new kitten. She rescued this baby from the pound who has been an absolute wonderful addition to her life. Yesterday, though, she received a bite from her and you'd think this was the worst of all possible wounds she could have received. Now...

    Yet another scratching question

    Hi Hollie, Nope, still no reply. I think I'm going to investigate this further 'cause I'm not positive my neighbor understood this correctly. I'll get back to you as soon as I find out anything. Mupcat

    Thinking of getting another cat

    Hey Hissy---Guess what---Early this morning around 4:30 I was awaken by a heavy thump on the bed. I looked up and lo and behold the prodigal son had returned looking absolutely none the worse for wear. I mean this is very strange. He didn't look like he'd missed any meals, his coat was still...

    Thinking of getting another cat

    Thanks Hissy I'll do that, but since he knows where his "window" is, he can always get in. Appreciate the good thoughts also. Glad your situation had a very happy ending.......perhaps ours will also.

    Thinking of getting another cat

    Oh isn't that amazing! Did Funny Face come home with you or was she now the farmer's cat? How comforting it must have been to find out she was doing well.....well minus the worms, of course. Nothing would make me happier than to hear that Kiki had a new more peaceful life and was OK. I just...

    Thinking of getting another cat

    Oh Hissy thanks so much for your reply. From your mouth to God's ear I hope that's the case. I did look at the "Lost cat" but sort of assumed it was for cats that were raised and kept indoors and then escaped somehow. Kiki is used to being outside as is Billy. Never thought about the...

    Thinking of getting another cat

    Hi All. Good to be back and I need your help please. Let me give you the basics briefly. I have/had two cats both altered feral indoor/outdoor males. One is Kiki and the other is Billy. As of last week Kiki has not come home and even though he has done this in the past it's never been for...

    Yet another scratching question

    Thanks Renae I appreciate it. Maybe one of the reasons no one has posted a reply is that no one has heard of them either. We'll see. Mupcat

    Yet another scratching question

    I know there have been many, many comments about scratching and various solutions with one of them being "Soft Paws". I just heard of a new nail shield that is supposed to last up to 7 months and I wonder if anyone else has heard about these and has either used them or knows more about them...

    Lazy Cat??

    Oh Sammie that's funny---Sorry I didn't see your reply yesterday when I answered. Well, pretty close to it I think. We're about 50' up and about 100 yards back from the ocean and he does pretty well, but then there are other times on shorter walks where he'll just lay down and look around...

    Lazy Cat??

    Thanks Salem! It's funny you mentioned a "humid and hot" area. We actually live in probably one of the few areas in the U.S. where if it hits 70 degrees we think we're having a heat wave anytime during the year! No, I think as you mentioned in your last sentence I'm just dealing with a lazy...

    Lazy Cat??

    Hi All---haven't been around for awhile so thought I'd check in with this question. I have two feral cats which have adopted me. For those who may remember me I have one cat named Kiki would not use the litter box. Well, I'm here to report that there has been some progress in that matter. He...

    shedding tool for sofa ??

    Thanks all for your suggestions. Never thought of a horse brush hissy, that's great! I'll try it. Shell, I almost got the lint brush but thought it felt too soft (?) for the hair......maybe not though sounds like it works for you. ceehome, I did try the small hand vaccuum but it wasn't...

    shedding tool for sofa ??

    Sorry couldn't think of how to title the subject. I wonder if anyone has the "perfect" tool for getting the cat hair off of furniture. I just purchased one of the rolling lint things but after about two swipes I have to tear the top sheet off and start again and so on and so forth plus it...
