    Peeling Paw Pads

    I have just noticed in the last week or so that 2 Dope's paw pads seem to be peeling. They look pretty normal otherwise. No discoloration or anything that resembles an infection. He is an indoor cat. He is fairly new to the house, maybe 1 1/2 months. I have two other cats who have never had...

    Dirt under nails of back paws....

    I was looking at Spike's back claws today and noticed that on the underside, there seems to be a little crevis. He has alot of (what looks like) dirt under there. I guess it would be kind of like having dirt under your own nails. I'm just wondering if this is something to be concerned...

    Love Bite?

    I have a female cat that I rescued off the street. I've had her for about 6-7 months. She does not really like being touched, but lately she has been jumping up on the couch with me, and bumping her head into my arms and legs. She lets me pet her head and rub her cheeks and chin, and she...

    Opinions about leaving a cat home alone....

    A few times a year, one of my neighbors has me come over to feed her cat (Hermes) when they go on vacation. Usually it is only for a week or so, and I go over twice a day to feed him. I also try to spend at least 1/2 hour with Hermes playing with him and petting him. My neighbor has asked me...

    Changing the litter BOX (not the litter inside the box)

    How often should you get a new litter box. I mean actually throw away the box and buy a new one. I scrub it once a week, but there are some stains on the plastic that do not come out. I'm wondering if there is bacteria that I cannot clean. I've had this box for 2 years, and 2 cats use it...

    Wiping paws in the litter box

    The title should read: WIPING PAWS ON WALLS WHILE IN THE LITTER BOX My male cat, Spike, does this thing EVERYTIME he's in the box. After he does his duty, he wipes his front paws on the walls surrounding the box. He wipes and wipes and wipes and wipes, over and over and over for a few...
