I used to have the same problem. My cat Scotch has always been a huge water drinker. So I got him the kind of bowl that has the reserve on the top. Well he loved to play in the water when he was a kitten, and would sometimes end up dumping the whole thing over (huge problem when that much...

My Scotchy occasionally had a problem with throwing up. Nothing had changed in the food he was fed, but I realized it happened more frequently when his schedule was off - If I worked late and he ate a few hours later than normal, he would eat too fast and then throw up. To make up for it I...

I talked to my vet today about the sneezing. Scotch just had his distemper vaccine about a week and a half ago, and she says it is fairly normal for them to get a little sneezing after, as long as there is not discolored mucas (which there is not). If he doesn't stop in a few days, or acts any...

I have had Scotch for close to a year and a half. On Thursday of last week, he came in contact with a blanket that had dog hair on it, but has not been near it since. At first, I thought that was the cause, but since he is still sneezing pretty often I thought he might have a cold. Thank...

My cat Scotch has been sneezing for about 4-5 days now. I have looked at his eyes, and they don't seem to be runny, and his nose is moist and only a little warm. I don't want to overreact and rush him to the vet right away, since he has been acting normally otherwise. Any suggestions on how...

He is actually not such a bad bath cat... but he hates getting dryed and brushed. I think he would actually rather run around dripping and lick himself dry than let me wrap him in a towel for a long time! Thanks for the tip on the Crisco, I might try that if another bath won't work... I am...

Yesterday Scotch jumped on the kitchen counter and knocked over a jar that had bacon grease in it (why it was there - long story). He got it all over his back legs and tummy. I washed him last night with Dawn where the grease was, and then his regular shampoo, but the hair is still matted and...

No, it's ok, you got my name right! It's Noel (like the Christmas song), but Noey is what my friends call me... Thanks for all your help! I won't feel so discouraged!

He is almost one year old

The funny thing is, they aren't out unless he uses them - he completely uses them just like any other cat, except when it comes time to let go of whatever he has (blanket when he is kneeding, a toy, or my shirt when I hold him) he will pull until he snags whatever it is, or the fabric lets go...

I'm so glad I stumbled on this post, because this has been a problem I've been dealing with Scotch for a while. When he puts his claws out and gets hung on something, he won't pull them back in, just jerk until he comes free. I know he can retract his claws, he just doesn't seem to know how to...

I use a break-away collar on Scotch that has not one-but two bells on it. Now that he is older, it isn't that important, but when he was younger I could always here him if he was somewhere he shouldn't be (such as scailing the ladder to my roommates loft) (She is allergic, so we try to keep...

I just gave my cat Scotch his first bath. He has terrible hairballs, and I use a brand of wash that is supposed to help reduce the amount of hairballs he gets (I also use hairball treats, and am about to switch him to a food formula that helps with it). He actually likes to play in water, so...

Where do you find Yesterdays News? I haven't ever seen it in a store.

My cat Scotch has huge paws. He is fond of spreading his toes, which presents a huge problem when he gets out of the litter box. I use Fresh Step Scoopable, and it gets all over my bathroom, in my room, carpet, bed - everywhere. I have tried using a rug underneath the box, and also mats...

My cat Scotch is roughly 9 months old - although we aren't sure because I got him as a stray. He still eats kitten food, however he is a healthy 9 pounds already. He is not overweight, just a big orange tom cat... However he almost always has runny stools, which smell unbelievably bad. I...
