    Owners of Male Cats: Help!

    He is beautiful!  I have a male cat very similar to him. He does occasionally get a bit rough with my spayed female. He is neutered and has been since 5 months of age. Sometimes he appears to be trying to mount her but I am not sure if he is just showing her he is Top Cat. The vet said that even...

    Our cat has stopped using its litter box!

    Where is his litter box placed? Does he feel safe there? Maybe you should keep the first box but place a second box where he has been going illegally. Also i wonder if it is his way of marking his territory since there is a new "intruder" in the house. If he gets a clean bll of health maybe a...

    Myocardiopathy

    Does anyone here have experience caring for a cat with Myocardiopathy? He is 12 yrs. old and was diagnosed 2 years ago. He has been on meds for about 9 months now. He is doing much better. I am looking for a healthy holistic wet food for him because he really does not like the prescription food...

    Catnails

    Hi Anne: Well here we are almost 2 weeks later and Autumn has started to heal. She isn't shaking her foot or holding it up anymore so it must be healing. We had to soak it for 4 days. The vet said to soak it for 10 mins. I said that I didn't think she would tolerate that so we cut it to 5 mins...

    Catnails

    Thank you both for your input. I keep forgetting to ask the Vet how long it takes to grow back because I get sidetracked talking about other issues. It wasn't infected but she did find splinter type pieces sticking into her skin. She removed them, so I am glad we took her in. The litter she...

    Catnails

    Has anyone had experience with a cat getting their nail caught and completely pulled out? She got it caught and in her desperate attempt to free herself, she completely ripped out the entire nail. Vet said it was clean and not infected. We have to soak it daily and use a different kitty litter...

    overgrooming

    The vets said they highly doubt it is allergies. They did not test him. His skin is perfect. How would they test for allergies. I have wondered if he could be allergic to his Prescription dry food. I am reluctant to take him off if I don't have to. I am afraid he will get urinary crystal again.

    overgrooming

    Thank you Stephen: I read the article  and it is exactly what he is doing. Our Vet called it Psychogenic Alopecia also. Caused by stress. He wants to go out and we prefer to keep him in for safety sake. We do take him on the leash sometimes. My son has been gone from our home for a year and I...

    overgrooming

    We have another cat, but he adores her. None of the things you mentioned are in our house. No children in my house, except my own older children who treat him very well. He is a very loved and well cared for cat with plenty of scratching posts,litter boxes, toys etc. The only thing I think he...

    New kitten, and litter box question

    Good luck trying to keep them in separate litter boxes. I would call the vet and explain and ask if you can bring a stool sample by. Watch for new kitty to go and then scoop it up immediately so you know it is hers. Keep it well wrapped and deliver to vets soon as possible, then you won't have...

    overgrooming

    My 10 yr. old male cat constantly licks his skin and bites his fur. He has balding areas everywhere. The vets have given him a clean bill of health on his skin. They say it is stress related. He has always loved the brush, but now I don't brush him, for fear it may be too abrasive. I wonder if...
