I have two neutered cats, a male and a female. The male is about 10 and the female about 7. I've always been careful about keeping their litter changed and clean so the smell has been minimal. Just in the last week the cat boxes have started to really reek! I bought new boxes and cleaned the...

Our red and white tuxedo kitty, Lucy, is eight years old. Last night we noticed that she had a right swollen cheeck. This morning we took her right to the vet. Lucy was not very co-operative but the vet saw into her mouth enough to say that she had an abcess that seemed to have broken and was...

Our big, gray, tabby tomcat has had cat acne off an on around his chin but now he seems to have some sore and broken out places on his lip. Poor guy. The lower left side of his mouth is very swollen and sore. Of course, these things happen on the weekend when the vet is unavailable. The...

This weekend the news has been full of warnings about the fumes that Teflon products can give off. It was even said that the fumes from Teflon heated pans has been known to kill pet birds in some homes. I heard mention that cats are sensitive to this too and that the fumes, in some cases, can...

This photo and query appreared on the Coast to Coast A.M. site today. Have you heard of a cat with thumbs? I'm not a breeder but wanted to ask if any of you have seen cats with opposing toes that appear to be thumb-like? Thanks.

Lucy is the only cat I've ever seen who loves to wear clothes!! Every time I fold clothes I have to put something on her and she purrs and struts all over the house!! Here she is modeling her green bandana cape.......the newest attire for the fashionable kitty this fall.

I am still reeling from my recent loss. This spring we rescued 3 dogs who were dumped by some moron in the woods near our home. When we picked them up they were full of fleas, ticks and worms and were near death. We spent all summer nursing them back to health and paid vet bills in the...

OK, I saw in "Mom of 10 Cats" signature that she now has 15 cats. I was just wondering who has the most cats on this board. I don't mean feral cat colonies. (And I have the utmost respect, admiration, and appreciation to those of you who take on that job) I'm asking who has the largest number...

I am sooooooooooo excited. We have very good, very expensive floor tickets to see Fleetwood Mac live in Nashville tonight!! I haven't been to a concert in years and years but I've always wanted to see this band live. All original members are back, except Christine McVie. I'm proud that my...

Can I have a little help from my new friends please? May is TV ratings month and that's why we are being bombarded with so many specials and season finales etc. I'm doing a little poll of my own as I don't agree with what our local paper says the nation's top three shows are. Please name your...

Happy Mother's Day to all who care for feline babies!! My husband gathered these flowers from our field today as a gift for Mother's Day. He was careful not to disturb the roots so they will be back again next year. I think they are as pretty as any flower shop bouquet and wanted to share...

My large male cat, Jake, chews on everything. He is 3 years old and eats a Little Frisky's dry food diet with supplemental fresh meat and fish. However, he chews things up just like a dog. He's chewed wood, books, cardboard, rubber.......everything. I've never seen another cat who exhibits...

I now have two cats.......never had two at the same time before. Because of our busines, we have to be away from home several times during the year. We have purposely put off traveling until our two cats get use to each other but we are going to have to go away for a few days towards the end...

My two cats have spent all their waking hours staring down into the heat register in the floor in my office for the past week. There is nothing under the house and nothing in the register and the heat isn't even on. Any idea what this weird behavior is all about? It's creeping me out!

I know for some of you long time board members this is something you have addressed often, but for me it is a new problems and I would appreciate the favor of any tips you can give me. For a week now I have been trying to introduce a newly spade female feral cat into my home. She is a sweetie...

About three weeks ago we had a little feral female cat show up on our doorstep. This cat was literally a walking skeleton. We put a box filled with wool scraps on our covered porch out of the wind for her to burrow into and started feeding her. She finally let us pet her when we gave her...

Jake has a round red spot on his lip that looks sore and really resembles a human cold sore. Can cats get these? It looks a little smaller today, but still looks sore.

Jake is developing sign language. He shakes his paw very quickly when he doesn't like something, like if I offer him some food he doesn't like. Then he'll stick up his nose and walk away. If we eat something he's not fond of, he turns his back on us and sits there pouting. If he does...

Greetings! I'm a new member from Tennessee. I haven't had a cat since childhood but am now amazed at the personality and antics of my two year old tabby, Jake. I use to be devoted to dogs only but now I'm really hooked on cats! Here is a photo of Jake after a hard day of play: Susan
