Thank you for your suggestions.

My male cat's nose always runs. He's a good guy and puts up with it with as much dignity as he can, but he seems unhappy and the mucus is messing up our house. He has a condition where he snores and wheezes, but the worst part is that his nose always runs. We've tried antibiotics and...

Thanks for all of your suggestions on this. The vet was not able to find anything wrong when we first brought our cat in, but the poor cat kept pulling his fur out. We brought him back in and it was finally diagnosed as a fungal infection in the base of the fur. We are treating him with...

Thanks for the advice. It isn't weight. If anything, he is a little too lean, but always has been. The type of litter was changed, so maybe that has been upsetting him. The vet had checked him for fleas and he was clean.

Our four year old male cat started pulling its hair out in clumps about a month ago. We took him to the vet and the vet couldn't find any reason for this. The vet gave him a bath, but the cat still does it. He licks and licks one particular spot for a couple of minutes and then simply bites...

Thank you all for your helpful guidance. The cat is black with a white chin/front and white paws. From what you say, it sounds like this is just natural pigmentation. I was not able to find any discussion of this in the cat reference books I looked at.

An outdoor tom cat has adopted my family. He is about one year old and quite friendly. I recently noticed that while one of his paws (including the little "finger" paw pads) was a healthy pink color, another was black and the two others included patches of both healthy looking pink and...
