Okay, this is really beginning to get me down. I am going to call on Monday to get Monster another appointment to be neutered and come hell or high water I am going to keep him from getting into the basement where we can't catch him! There are no doors on any of our main floor rooms except for...

I was a member a while back but I wind up leaving the forum because (I'm going to be honest here), my moggy got pregnant. We had adopted her as spayed and obviously that wasn't the case. She had a litter of kittens (two of whom were rehomed and one of whom still lives with us but is mentally...

I joined this forum about a year and a half ago, but have been absent. Now I am trying to make all of my user names the same (and I've changed it since joining TCS). Can I get a username change so that I don't have to register a new account? I've been doing some article writing on Hubpages and...

We have five cats in my family, and while both of our females are very consistent with the litterbox, our males are giving us no end of trouble. Two of them are neutered and the other is... Well, I will get to that. It is the older male who is particularly the problem, and this is a recent...

I have a litter of abandoned four week-old kittens. I've begun bottle feeding them, but I'm having trouble with their eliminations. I can only stimulate them to urinate, but not defecate. Am I doing something wrong, possibly? They are eating well from the bottle, about a teaspoon and a half...

Can anybody else who has a deaf cat (Nat?) share some experiences to help me out in figuring out how to handle Hullabaloo? He really wants to go back outside but after the terror of him going missing for two days, it's not going to happen again. The neighborhood is at least cat-friendly but...

I'm sorry for not being around much lately, but Evy and I have been trying to get on a routine plus there have been two growth spurts that are really taking it out of me (breastfeeding). Yesterday, Baloo got out. I wasn't paying enough attention apparently and he got out past me and out the...

Let me remind you all that she was nearly aborted without my consent at six weeks. At ten weeks, I had a threatened miscarriage and we nearly lost her. The story continues from there. When I went in to the hospital, her heart beat was going up and down and was obviously very concerning. The...

Reagan appears to think that she is pregnant. When we adopted her, we were told that she was spayed. Though we've been unable to detect a scar, she wouldn't be the first cat I've known who didn't have a surgery scar from a spay/neuter, and we've not thought until recently (Baloo) to have an...

He's doing *so well!* Yes, I think we're still going to need either the Rescue Remedy or the Feliway (I might ask my mom for it for Christmas), but he's doing *wonderfully* now! He and Baloo still stalk past one another, and Whisper still chases Molly off the food bowl from time to time, but...

Okay, another thread sparked this question, so please bear with me while I post in a burst of several threads today *sigh*. I need to get Whisper to put on some weight. I don't think he's necessarily underweight (ribs and spine aren't poking significantly at this point) but he definitely needs...

I couldn't figure on where the appropriate forum was for this question, so I put it here. It's NOT a behavioral problem -- I understand that he's going to spray some in a new environment until he's fixed. If it happens *after* that, then yes, we have a behavioral issue. Anyway, generally...

According to my public profile, I joined on November 1st. I'm not sure that's correct (seems to me it was later than that, but that's what my profile says). I have 457 posts as of this post, and Alpha Cat is under my username at this point in time. I should have full Adult Cat status, correct...

Or scream. Whisper has decided that he hates me right now. Until he clings to me like I'm a life raft. After which he hates me. Dozer's acting funny, and I'm pretty sure that all signs point towards the baby coming soon. But of course I'm due in two weeks, so we know it's going to be *soon*...

Would it be inappropriate for me to call the area shelters and find out about putting my name to be first on the list to take one of these special kitties? I don't know that DH and I could deal with life-threatening illnesses, but I would be *really* interested in eventually being able to give a...

I wish I could have gotten a picture of this... Earlier when I walked outside to check on Face's bed (she's using it now! Yay!), I caught her for a brief moment curled up with an opossum? Cute as heck, but I thought opossums would be prey animals to cats? Any insight?

Yes, I'm coming up with a lot of questions lately. Keeping my mind off contractions and trying to send myself into labor Does anybody here selectively vaccinate, and if so, why? I was noticing that some *dog* breeders choose to selectively vaccinate, and we'll be doing so for our child when...

So it's bothering me lately. Why Persians and Siamese? DH thinks that it's because they are seen as "the rich people cats" and therefore BYBs see them as more likely to sell at a higher price, but how true is this? I'm bothered by the number of Persians and Siamese (and Himmies) that I'm seeing...

Our cats have been doing well on their current food (a store brand recommended to us -- seems to have the analysis of Purina brand foods), but I've decided that I really want to make a change. Not only would I like to start introducing canned food and some (limited) raw food into their diets...
