Thanks for the response. I've had her a year this last Halloween. Got her as a kitten. She's a year old. Saw an ad on Craigslist for a black kitten near my church. They told me that she was raised with a litter and was the last. They had a couple other cats.  I've teased several times that they...

I know there have been a number of threads about hissing, aggressive cats. Many have a idea of the cause. I have none. I live in a quiet home with my 92 year old father. We have no children, dogs or other cats around. She hisses whenever I try to handle her in any way. Forget cutting her claws...

I live in Denver. The air is really dry here, and we have forced air in the house. My Luuk has had real problems with dry, itchy skin all winter. I tried everything.  Finally I started giving him an oatmeal/baking soda bath to relieve the itching. However, found that I had to give him a bath a...

Thanks for the input. I did do my due diligence. I buy my chicken whole, grind it myself with raw bones. If it's contaminated. It's also contaminated for humans too. It doesn't take much flax to keep him regular. His health has improved greatly under this raw food diet.

I feed my cat pure protein in the form of ground chicken with the bones. It's great food but will lead to constipation with blood and mucous. Now I mix in a little ground flax. Problem solved. 

I love people for the most part and spend much time with them. However, when feeling down or disappointed in said people I always return to my Luuk. He doesn't waver or withdraw. He's my rock when it comes to relationships.

Wish I had answers. I can only say I'm sorry, and I hope he responds to the things you have tried.

Thank you for the input. I did try crying which seemed to slow him down. I hadn't thought of the hiss or hold down. Certainly, when he's playing he doesn't like a time out even in the form of me picking him up. It makes sense that holding him or picking him up would act as a deterrent without...

My kitty had constant loose stools. In fact, he didn't always make it to the litter box. He smelled horrible and would run from his dish to the box. I switched to a raw food diet. It has changed his life. He has a stool once a day sometimes every other day. They are well formed and hardly stink...

My kitty had terrible diarrhea. He would eat commercial food and run to the litter box. He was soiling outside the box. He seemed lifeless. I was concerned that he might be really sick. I switched to a raw food diet. He's a different cat. He goes once a day sometime once every other day. He...

That is an amazing video. I have never seen anything like it.

I write for a professional carpet cleaner and have learned much about urine in carpets over the past few months. Unless you can extract it all it will continue to make a smell. My friend has an attachment called the Water Claw (TM) that sucks solutions out of carpet clear down to the sub floor...

I'm not a vet but I came across a site that shows pictures of common skin aliments in cats. They had a picture that looked exactly like your cats. They called it feline acne.  The site was http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=107386.  It was the first picture I came too. I...

My cat's name is Luuk Chaai which means child,male in Thai.  I find myself calling him "buddy" most of the time.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will use them tonight. Last night I did stuff a sock with newspaper and threw it away from us when he started getting rough. He bit it and raked it with his back claws. It seemed to take the attention off me. Now it just dawned on me that he really likes...

thank you, excellent input. I will try all your suggestions.

I have a new kitten with whom I probably play with a hour a day. I never use my hands in play but always utilize a toy. When he scratches or bites me, I stop playing and redirect his play back to the toy. Sometimes I stop altogether. When I stop, he proceeds to bite my toes or ankle to reengage...

My kitten had diarrhea and was not getting to the box. I noticed that he had to run almost immediately after eating. And so, I switched to a raw food diet. I grind his food in a hand food grinder. I use raw chicken or turkey. Several sites have recipes. Immediately his diarrhea went away. He...

I would wonder about placing a box or two in different rooms if you have a "safe" floor in another room. Just a thot.

I read that cats sometimes don't like to share litter boxes. I think I would try installing a second even third box to see if he'll use that.
