Update: They won't stop. They eyeball the monitor...walk around it...sniff it and still try to land on the one inch surface. I have placed a couple of small pillows and a piece of heavy foam behind the monitor.

How smart are cats? My cats [Nipper and Tucker…aka Nip and Tuck] have always enjoyed the proximity and warmth of my computer monitor. http://home.mchsi.com/~trhomerun/nipandtuck.jpg Several days ago I purchased a new flat panel. They were, of course, very interested in the new acquisition...

Update: Went to the new vet yesterday…lots of tests and procedures including Urinalysis, Pneumocystogram, Bacteriology & Sensitivity, Pcv (packed cell volume), Bun (blood urine nitrogen), and Torugesic injection. She is also on Torbutrol for pain. Her bladder is very thickened with bloody urine...

Thanks again for the concern and advice. You have me questioning my vet. I am going to try a different vet today and see what they have to say.

The vet has taken her temperature 3 times…normal. I find it hard to believe stress is a factor. She is about 2 ½ years old and I have had her for 2 years. Her environment has not changed and other than the straining and lack of urine she seems very normal. She is just over 24 hours into the...

Not quite sure how to answer that question as I am a relatively new 1st time cat owner. Compared to my other cat, the answer would be yes. She is the type that likes to be close but not touched. Spends about 75 per cent of her life on top of the computer monitor, in the chair beside me, or...

Nipper update: The vet offered 3 possibiliies: Continued medication, an ultrasound or exploratory surgery. Since the medication has provided at least temporary relief, we decided on a 7 day run of prednisone (5 mg) and an additional 14 days of Zeniquin (25 mg).

4 weeks ago Nipper (female) was straining to urinate. Went to vet who diagnosed uti and prescribed amoxidrops 15 ml for one week. Also, Royal Canin Urinary SO 30 dry food. Seemed to do the job. Then shortly after stopping the medication the symptoms reappeared. Back to the vet. Another round...

Nipper and Tucker (aka Nip & Tuck) I have never owned cats before…always a dog person. I have always disliked other people's cats but decided I didnâ€8482t want the responsibilities associated with another dog and decided to give a cat a try. Tucker is a 1 year old male that I got from the...

A Rescue League cat (Nip – 1 year old) selected me 2 weeks ago last Sunday. She didnâ€8482t eat or drink and started sneezing. I took her to the vet and she diagnosed a cold. Nip received a shot of subcutaneous fluids and about 5 days worth of amoxidrops. I could only get her to eat canned...

Thanks for the suggestions. Went to the vet. Cold with slight temp. Amoxidrops, antibiotic injection, subcutaneous fluids. Feeling much better but still eating very little.

My new cat, Kitley, selected me at the Rescue League on Sunday. She is active and loving. She had a brief check-up and rabies shot at the vet on Monday. Now for the problem. She has not eaten much in her 4 days with us. The previous owner fed 9 lives dry and the Rescue League fed Royal Canin...

I am a first time cat owner. My little guy is a neutered male about 9 months old that came from a local shelter. He has been with me for 3 months and is perfect in every way. I have been considering getting him a playmate. I have found one that I like but I am concerned about the "horror"...
