My cat got out just before a snowstorm and stayed outside in sub freezing temperatures for 3.5 days. I was thinking the worst, but he came home tonight. He's visibly thinner. I called the emergency vet and they didn't seemed too chuffed about it. He's eating and drinking? Then it's fine...

I posted about getting harness recommendations and it was suggested I post about it here. He is recovering, despite the bullet going through his abdomen and into his leg. There is still a good chance he will lose his leg, but his veterinarian, Dr Love, is doing everything she can to save it...

My cat has a broken leg (long story - he was shot - for real) and his doctor has said to take him for walks to help him strengthen his leg. Obviously he needs to wear a harness when we go on walks. Do you have any recommendations on one I should get? He's short haired and a healthy weight so...

My son has fallen in love with an FIV positive cat at his shelter. He's super sweet, healthy, 4 years old. Can you tell me your experiences with FIV+ cats? A big part of me says, of course we'll have him! But another part says, be cautious, find out what this is really like first. Thanks!

I'm nervous about my cat. He got out and was chased (and almost caught) by a dog. It was traumatic for him, and he ran probably faster than he ever has in his life. He's been panting really hard for about half an hour. He did drink some water. I don't want to traumatize him any more, but...

Our kittens are 10 weeks old, and they're going to their new homes. I planned on keeping them longer but both my adult cats are attacking them (their mother is completely bipolar, nursing them one minute and scratching, biting and hissing the next). Time for them to go before they get hurt...

I wish I could get a picture of this, but it won't come out. One of my kittens is mostly black short haired, but he also has a lot of gray long hairs that are sparse but evenly found all over his body. Maybe 1 in 30 of his fur is like that. I've never seen anything like it before. Is he...

This might be a lame question, but if a queen grooms long haired kittens, would she be more likely to get hairballs? My cat has been getting sick, and it's mostly clear liquid but with some fur in it.  She's a short haired cat, and has never had a problem with hairballs.  The kittens are...

Just looking for opinions.  I have a cat who had kittens almost 2 months ago.  We're going to keep one of them, a male.  I have funding issues, so I'm going to have to get one of them neutered and then the second a bit later on.  Which would you do first - the mother or the male kitten?

Why can't you use clumping litter for kittens?  Also, in the long run, is clumping litter more economical than non-clumping litter?   I have 6 5-week-old kittens and two adults, and I'm going through almost 40 pounds of litter a week.  I'm sure it's only going to get worse.  It seems so...

My cat had 6 kittens a week and a half ago.  She was always a slim cat, but now she's super thin, as in, her hip bones are protruding.  She's producing enough milk - the kittens are growing like gangbusters.  She doesn't seem sickly.  But I'm concerned. She's never eaten anything but dry food. ...

My cat has moved her kittens out of their box to under my bed.  I guess that's fine, except that my male cat (neutered) regularly sleeps under my bed.  Is this going to be a problem?  Is there anything I can do to convince her to move them some place else?

That sounds a little early to me, but that's what the manual I have suggests.  Is that the correct date?

Well, now I know why she was "powerful big for a first litter" - she was carrying 6!  It was an eventful delivery. First of all, it took almost half an hour for the first kitten to come.  There was an obvious bubble sack hanging out of her for well over 20 minutes.  And she was having crazy...
