    Keep cat out of bedroom at night

    Why do you desire to keep the kitty out? I love it that three of my 4 indoor/outdoor kitties sleep in the bedroom with me, one in a little covey hole in the night-stand, one between my legs on the bed, and one sometimes next to my head on the bed. I feel their psi-presence, and it is good...

    Are raccoons dangerous to cats?

    Pardon me for butting in. In my neighborhood, all the houses and including mine have large yards, mine is the smallest at 1/6th of an acre and several others are 1 acre yards, with many trees, bushes, old cars, etc, many locations for daytime rest for all sorts of four legged critters. Where...

    Parking lot cat

    Hey dude, I don't know what that kitty is, but that character is a seriously cute little kitty. Long ears, spotted stripes, grey fur, can't see the tail...what ever the little character is, exudes personality galore, a diverse mixed breed, or so it seems. I've come to find the more diversity...

    My Feral And Rescued Cats

    Keep up the good work, God looks kindly on those who care for the little ones. To date, I've TNR'd something around 250 kitties, all feral. Unfortunately, only a small number of those have I been able to socialize well enough to enable them to becoming 'pets'. 'Experts' say its not possible...

    Poop around her butt

    Is your kitty overweight? If so, ask the vet how to put the kitty on a diet. Obese kitties do not typically live as long as other kitties. Best Regards and good luck Alpha Kitty

    Cat passed away in TNR

    Azarang, Very sad to hear. The little kitty likely consumed some food within the 12 hr fasting period prior to surgery. Having the kitty nuetored is a very responsible and caring thing to do, in my opinion. However, do not beat yourself up for this sad affair. It was just the little kitty's...

    Cat passed away in TNR

    Tagrendy, I am a guy, I have TNR'd something around 200 feral kitties to date, as I loath seeing them so emaciated from hunger. It is simple, I do it because wild kitties in cities do not have enough to eat, and then, here, in this blue state, Los Angeles, California, the city politicians are...

    Cat coughed up weird worm

    Hi Lilly21, Put that 'thing' into a glass jar and store in the refridgerator until you can take it to the vet. That way if it is indeed a worm, the cold will slow decomposing. I would NOT wait too long, eg., take your beloved little kitty to the vet along with that sample that you photographed...

    My Kitten Won’t Poop

    Is it Human edible tuna? Chicken-of-the-Sea? If so, there are numerous kitty health & vetinarian websites on the 'Net that warn against feeding kitties Human tuna, as there is insufficient oil and certain minerals which kitties' digestion require to assimilate the fish. Kitties develop an...

    Hole near my cats elbow?

    Hi, I agree with Di & Bob, it looks like a leasion rather than just a hole. Watch it closely, try to keep the kitty from licking it. Me personally, and I know the rules regarding offering medical advice, but frankly I put zinc ointment on my (passed away Feb 10, 2021 in our house due to MS...

    Cat eating feathers, hair and other strange things.

    Hi there, My speculation is that you may be using a hair spray or some bath cream or something similar that your kitty senses as being eatable or tastey. You might try other products to see if there is a change in the kitty's behavior. Years ago, I heard about a kitty that was eating hair, it...
