    Really finicky cat

    Thanks for the great ideas! I'll try the Evanger's. Now last nite he ate his salmon by itself and then gummed down some dry on his own. We got several cats who require different dry foods, and he likes them all. Maybe he just doesn't like it mixed anymore. Steve and my husband Tony worship each...

    Really finicky cat

    Steve showed up at our door about a year ago. Don't know anything about him but he wasn't fixed, needed major dental care, etc. so he wasn't well taken care of or was abandoned. He's at least 7. Anyway, we've tried to feed him everything. All he will eat is canned mackerel and salmon. No...

    still "lusty" neutered male cat

    We have a 4 year old male who very vigorously and loudly mates with my slippers, stuffed animals, etc. DAILY. He was adopted feral as a kitten, fixed at 6 months, and is a very healthy active tuxedo. His brother who we also adopted does this sometimes. Is this normal?? He is also very skinny. We...

    Kitten being too affectionate

    I seached this forum for bottle fed to see if anyone else was having over affection problems with a bottle fed kitten, and am so glad you all understand! Great problem to have, but a problem sometimes. Gogo sleeps on my head for a while every night and I love it, but I can't have him jumping up...

    I waited too long...

    I'm all of a sudden in the same predicament. Our rescued feral female kitten, Princess Sparkles, just went into heat last night. She is only 5 pounds and about five months old! The problem is, we also rescued her two brothers and one of them, Romeo, is mounting her. The other brother doesn't...

    Sneezing kitty

    Get her to the vet. Last week we took our 4 month old to the vet after he had been coughing, sneezing, and developed puffy eyes and we found out he has pneumonia! He didn't act sick, like not eating or sleeping a lot. That's why I didn't take him earlier. I should have but he'll be OK since he's...

    bee stings?

    My kitties have always been indoors but recently we bought a wonderful house with a big second story deck that they LOVE to go out on. Well, the mischevious little furballs like to chase wasps and bees! I am terrified that they'll catch one and get stung. Can this hurt them really bad? What can...

    black tongue

    We just heard that our [precious Mercury's brother died unexpectedly. He was almost 3, and had been very healthy and happy until a few days ago when he got lethargic, stopped eating, and died. Just before he died, his owner noticed that half his tongue was black. Sounds like poison, but he...

    kitty on wet cement

    We recently poured a cement ramp to our downstairs. The next day lots of kitty paw prints were in it, some going down an inch or more. I'm worried that the kitty got a lot of wet cement on her paws and how it might affect her health to lick it off. Does anyone know?

    Sleep

    I understand. It's really frightening and you just want to jumpstart them. Thanks, everyone, for your info. This last time, I just massaged him and he slowly came around, but I didn't think he was going to at all and was sure he was dead. That was last Thursday, and my vet said to check his...

    Sleep

    My 2 and a half year old cat sometimes sleeps so soundly that I think he is dead. He is cold and limp and I panic at first, but then he comes around. He is very strong and healthy, and very trusting and laid back, but he's literally "out cold". Of course, the vet said to bring him in for a bunch...
