    Home Remedies For Rodent Ulcer on Cat lip

    What is it that is stuck to your cat's lip? Because there certainly couldn't be an actual rodent stuck to your cat, I take it that your cat ate some sort of critter. And there are pieces of fur, some blood, or some other gross (by human standards) remnant of the catch stuck. If there's something...

    Is This Something To Be Concerned About?

    I used tea tree oil on my hands for dry skin, and it had been maybe 10 minutes or so since I had put it on and rubbed it in. Around then, there was a slight residue. My hands weren't soaked with it or anything since I simply used a few little drops and rubbed it into my hands. There was not a...

    How does everyone's cats react to thunderstorms?

    He is a little scared of the thunder, not much though. But I can tell that the sound makes him a little anxious. He's similar about other loud noises, such as the vacuum cleaner. It scares him a little bit, makes him nervous. But not panicking. My dogs on the other hand are much more reactive to...

    How does everyone's cats react to thunderstorms?

    When my cat used to go outside, it was kind of remarkable in a sense. Somehow, he must have sensed when it was about to rain.... and he would immediately know to go somewhere dry. Often times, there would be pouring rain, and then as soon as the storm stopped he would come home completely dry...

    Studies Reveal Cats Rival Dogs In Intelligence.

    1. Yes, though he likely thinks he has two names, his name (Porter) and simply "the cat" or simply "cat". He knows that the word "cat" also refers to him. Back when he used to go outside, when you'd call him, he would come up the driveway meowing and meowing on the way up sometimes. In fact...

    Why Did My Cat Suddenly Get Angry When He Saw A Stray Cat That He's Seen Before?

    There's a stray cat that comes around sometimes, and anyways usually when my cat would see her (it was a calico), he would kind of look at her. She would look back. My cat is on a porch with a barrier, and the other cat sometimes would sit on the steps where my cat could see. They'd kind of...

    How Do You All Use The Computer While Your Kitties Want Pets?

    I know. I work online from home, so I'm always having to move him off of the keys. Or I work in the bedroom with the door shut during the day and then spend time with him at night....... but it's sad because he always meows at the door. Sometimes, he just sleeps on the bed while I work...

    He Doesn't Always Sleep Through The Night

    Sometimes he does. But other nights he gets up and goes to bed over and over until like 4 am. And he meows to get me up with him every 20 minutes. He doesn't do anything interesting when he gets up, just walks around and occasionally meows for treats. Yet other times he sleeps through the night.

    He's Addicted To Treats

    He literally begs for them day and night. I'll admit that I often use them as a way to get him out of forbidden parts of the house (e.g. places where there are plants that I don't want him chewing on). However, he will literally eat dozens and dozens of treats, and he meows and meows for...

    My Cat Has Been Acting Different Lately

    He does seem to be acting normally today luckily. He was just acting different yesterday, but today he just seems like his usual self and is sound asleep right now actually. So, maybe it was just kind of a fluke, but thanks for the info. If he starts acting weird again, I'll definitely take...

    My Cat Has Been Acting Different Lately

    He has a lot of energy, which is good to see as he's an older guy at 14. He's in very good shape, but he's typically a little less active than he used to be. Now, it's like he's a kitten again. Sometimes, he messed with unplugged phone chargers for as long as I knew him. I didn't think...
