    This is going to sound silly...

    A cat purr is SO relaxing, isn't it? Sometimes you can hear my cat purr from across the room! Like maybe my husband is petting him on the other side of the kitchen, I'll hear him purr! It's so funny!

    funny habits!

    (Crazy-Cat-Lover, I love the name of your cat! Peppurr!! ) Sammy does this weird kind of flop. He'll be standing straight up on all 4 legs, then if you talk to him, he puts his head on the ground (still standing up on all 4's, then he'll just flop over onto his side real hard - just falls...

    myth or fact??

    I heard someone say that you should never give a cat any table food that has onions in it because it could be deadly to a cat. I just heard that last month. I had a cat (from 1981 until 2000) that ate onions ALL the time in table scraps - NEVER was there a problem! My question is this - was...

    Need declawling alternative

    Dragon Lady, How long do the caps stay on? If I had them put on at his yearly exam, would they stay on for a year or would I have to keep bringing him back? (I may sound really stupid, but I have no idea) I went to that cat site that showed the declawing procedure (I wasn't going to have it...

    pilling a cat

    Does your cat like cheese?? I had a hyperthyroid cat that I had to give Tapazole too, and the ONLY way I could give it to him that was SO SIMPLE, was to rip off a piece of American cheese, push the pill into it, cover it with another little piece, and he would just eat the little ball of...

    two small questions

    Thh, From what I HEARD.. exposing the belly is a sign of total trust. I don't know if submissive is the word, but I guess if he is trusing totally it is a kind of submission, right? And again, just from what I've heard - cats do become more loveable and more into their humans after being...

    vet costs

    Lorie D, Yes, I take my cat to a small clinic. Just one doctor and one exam room and I've had him for 20 years. He is so caring. I had 2 cats before this one - one was 18 years old when I had to have him put down, and the other was 21 years old! I had the same vet since the cats were...

    Giving kitty shots at home

    I had a diabetic cat that I had to give a shot to once a day for 6 years - there is really nothing to it at all. Now I don't know if giving a shot of insulin is given DIFFERENTLY than giving a shot for rabies or something! But I would just gather up his skin on his rump and give him the shot...

    OK, I found the place where a picture of my cat is saved, but I don't know what to click on to make the picture come up here. I hit, "copy", but I couldn't hit "paste", so that is out. Then I get things that say, "Send to...", but I don't know where to "send" it to make it come up in the...

    vet costs

    I don't blame you for getting peeved over something like that! People always want something for nothing! My cat is a part of my family and I'll pay whatever it costs to keep him healthy or get him well! (although it seems a lot cheaper in Minnesota! LOL!!) $16?????? An office visit here is...

    cough in cat

    Just wondering if anyone can tell me if this is something I need to see a vet about, or is it nothing... About once a day my cat will cough, then it sounds like he has mucus afterwards for about 30 seconds. He's totally healthy otherwise as far as I can see (playing, eating, grooming, etc) -...
