Thank you all for the information. I was looking at gene tests for cats and saw there were four different mutations in the short hair gene that create long hair. The page at catdnatest that I was reading was confusing me. I found another one at the University of California that says:

I have been looking at the ragdoll cat and wondered if there is a breeder here who could answer a question on the coat? I see online that they have coat length genetic tests now and ragdoll is one of the cats listed with the long hair genes but the photos I see of them show such different...

Is she still sick or just off her food? Have you tried foods that have a high smell effect like sardines, tuna or “gourmet” canned foods. Even kitty junk food can help get them over the hump.  The more smelly the food the more likely it is to tickle the cat’s olfactory senses. Catnip can act...

 I'm sorry for bringing this topic up again but I am wondering if there is anything I can use, like an ointment on her eyes? The skin right along the edge (like our human eye lash edge) is sometimes bright pink. I get the stains in the corner like mentioned in Laureen's post. Her eyes look so...

This happened to a friend of mine. Her vet did urine and said no infection ran a kidney panel and vet said CRF...cat was 2 yrs old. I took the results to my vet and asked for a second opinion. They said put her on an antibiotic and give sub q fluids...no way she was CRF....ARF maybe but not...

How do I delete a topic I started? The question I asked is a moot point now and I want it deleted. I can't seem to find delete anywhere on my message. Thank you

Mom is not ignoring the kittens. She was drugged up when she got home so I have been helping them as she comes around to normal. Mom still hasn't eaten. She drank a little water but I know her throat is sore because she has no voice when she tried to talk to me. I got mom to lick a couple eye...

I have a litter of kittens that were born surgically. They are a day old. Four were normal sized and two were almost half the size of the others. An inexperienced tech helped revive the kittens as they were removed and I believe she accidently killed one of the little ones by being too rough...

There is a term used to refer to stud cats who throw kittens that look just like them no matter which female of their breed they are bred to. Does any breeder here know what that word is? I've read about this rarity and can't remember where or the word used to describe the stud. Thank you...

This is very common behaviour from some teachers. I have seen it in all my childrens education. My Opinion....nothing will happen if you complain except your child will become labled and other teachers will change how they act toward your child.. I learned this the hard way. The best way to...

When I went to return my recalled bags the store had bags of the same food that was not from the recalled lot. It is only the food from the dates listed that is recalled. http://www.nutroproducts.com/press-r...-Products.html

Hi, Does anyone know about Feline Rhinotracheitis (Herpesvirus-1)? I have always vaccinated my cat never let it lapse and now after her last Vet visit she became sick. I went back to the vet and had a very expensive test done called an IDEXX RealPCR Feline URD test. The results came back as...

Sometimes it takes a few episodes of coughing before a cat can cough up a hairball. Using a product that helps it move through the digestive system prevents the coughing up. I have had some that are an inch and a half long by an inch wide. Remember that are soft and mushy so they can be...

I like to use the Friskies tender hairball remedy treats. I like that mt cats want these and think it is a treat. I just have to say TREEEEEATS and they all come running.

Good Morning, I watched The Martha Stewart Show last night (TIVOed it) and she had on her cat expert, Tracie Hotchner, from her radio show Cat Talk. I don't have Sirius radio so I don't know anything about this lady. She firmly stated that any cat that is an adult and has had its kitten...

Recomendations for the best cat care book? I have a friend who asked me what the best cat care book would be to buy. She has never owned a cat. I grew up with cats so I have never even given it a thought. I tried to search the forums but kept getting fatal errors. Thanks so much for sharing...

I have a friend whose vet told her her cat had Cardiomyopathy and was going to die in 6 months. They put him on expensive meds. She bought a new cat and was preparing for his death. I encouraged her to take her heart cat to the University Vet clinic here for a second opinion because I had heard...
