My husband and I have six cats. Despite this, we have managed to never- and I mean never- have fleas. Earlier this year, however, in the early spring, our two best friends (another married couple), somehow came down with a nasty case of them in their house of three cats (and a ferret). I first...

i stumbled across an ad on CL by a lady who bought a bunch of things from prey4pets.com that her dogs won't eat... i was just wondering what of this would be ok for my kitties... i know the rabbit head is fine because i've given them rabbit before and they LOVE IT, but i've never ventured into...

we've been raw feeding our three adult cats for about two and a half years now, and everybody's pretty happy with it... they're happy and healthy, and that makes us happy too..... but we've recently (and suddenly) doubled our cat population by way of a stray we took in who had kittens, two of...

my family and i have been using mangosteen (in the form of XanGo) for various ailments for several years, with much success. my sister and i have used it to fight allergic reactions, my mom has used it to alleviate swelling problems in her hands and legs, several uncles and aunts have used it to...

I'm visiting a friend this weekend and while playing outside with her kids I noticed a cat hanging around... she was incredibly sweet and affectionate, and I asked my friend about her. Apparently she's been hanging around for about a month, and as they're on a military base that means her owners...

my fellow members of aquariacentral.com and i would like to share this with all other fishkeepers who ever consider buying their fish or fish supplies online, in hopes of saving your wallets the hurt and the lives of some innocent, defenseless fish from this hack of a dealer...

after a few failed attempts at the beginning (about a month and a half ago) to get my cats to eat a whole chunk of meat or meat on a bone (chicken parts, mice, etc), i went back and started from scratch, pureeing chicken meat and turkey meat and chicken livers with egg yolks and supplements...

two questions regarding the feeding of mice to my babies- 1) they're reluctant to recognize the (prekilled) mice as food. i've dangled them, dragged them, rolled them in chicken and livers, everything i could think of. no dice. they've the dragged the mice out of their bowls, pawed them around...

ok, so, as some of ya'll know, my husband and i are in the middle of moving from our tiny little apartment to a big, spacious, two-story house, and our three adult cats are completely in a tizzy about the whole thing. well, in case this isn't enough, the girlfriend of one of our best friends...

amazing how just the mere appearance of boxes is enough to tell kitties something's happening. we've barely packed anything, and they're all freaking out. despite three clean litter boxes, at least one cat has begun to purposefully relieve himself on the floor of our bathroom. (the litter boxes...

so, he went to the dermatologist yesterday, and after much discussion we ruled out pretty much everything except allergies. got the skin tests done right then, and GOOD LORD!!! no wonder that cat had licked himself bald!!! onyx reacted strongly to almost half of the allergens they tested him...

my husband and i took in a two-year-old male stray back in august. he had some issues in getting along with our two cats when we brought him in, but they have all pretty much gotten over it. now, however, we are having an issue with onyx that we didn't expect. he has a compulsive habit of...

how can you tell if your kitty is having a dream ? Sid was curled up on the bed with us, appearing to take a nap , when he started twitching quite spastically , and making meowing sounds without opening his mouth. now, was he dreaming , or was something wrong ... like something biting...

sid cuddled up to me for a snuggle as i was waking up, and i found a very hard raised bump under his fur on his side, near his back legs. it was NOT there a day or so ago. anyone have any idea what it could be, or where it came from? my panicked brain jumped to 'oh my god, my cat has cancer!'...

my six month old kitten just got a deworm pill this morning to kill his tapeworms... and all his droppings today since have been right between solid and liquid. should this be expected? (he also got a rabies shot and flea treatments... anything?) slightly concerned cuz he's always had the same...

can anybody reason to me WHY on EARTH my kitten feels the need to jump into the litter box AS i'm cleaning it and make use of it? then once it's completely cleaned, he jumps in and rolls around in the litter, completely covering himself in dust. once or twice, i could ignore. but EVERY SINGLE...
