I have quite a few ferals around here. Thye have been around for years and years. I feed them, water them, and provide shelter of sorts. Some come for a quick pet before scittering away. I would take them in for a nueter/spay but I just can't afford it. The vets in my area all feel it is a...

I have been reading threads regarding healthy food for our kids. I have 3 of them. Little Kitty is 17, Tubby is 8 , and Ozzy is 5. I can't afford the really expensive foods but is there a pretty good quality super market brand that all 3 could eat? Right now they all eat from the same bowl...

Hi Everyone, I have heard lots of times about the third eye. And read its description. I can't ever seem to understand what it is or where it is located. Does it look like the cats eyelid is turned inside out? Does it happen with a discahrge? Is some discharge from a cat's eye normal? Please...

Little Kitty is 15 now. She eats well, plays occasionally, and is always sweet. But she seems to be losing weight lately. She doesn't act "sick " in any way, she isn't crabby. Is it normal for an older cat to just lose weight. She was always a little chubby, never overweight but now the weight...

Hi everyone, I have been absent for such a long time. I can't tell you how good it feels to be here again. If anyone remembers me you will also remember that I have ferals that I feed and try to care for. Their numbers are decreasing as I believe that for whatever reason they have decided to...

Please please help me. I am afraid that my kitty Dawn is dying. A month and a helf ago she became ill. She was breathing very hard, as if she could not catch her breath after a strenous workout. I took her to the vet. He gave her 2 shots ( I can only remember that one was an anti-inflamatory)...

For just about a year now whenever I went outside to feed the cats who visit in my yard, I would see a flash of Siamese color. His name became Frankie. He would race across the yard, so fast that at first I wasn't even sure I had seen it. Eventually, over many months he would stay in the yard...

Hi Amy, Thank you for taking time to to answer our questions. My kitty will be 12 in August. She seems to be aging nicely. She does have moments when I wonder if she has gotten lost in the house. She will let out a mournful cry, it almost sounds like she is in pain. When I hear this cry I say...

My Tubby boy has become matted. I wouldn't call him a long hair but his fur isn't as short as the other kitties. He is like the Sylvester cat. I brush him a couple of times every day. I have to do it that often because he absolutely hates to be brushed and I can only do it for a couple of...

Hi--I am writing for my step daughter. Her cat is about 8 months old (I think). His right cannine tooth is growing down behind the lower layer of teeth. So far it has not dug into the soft skin there. He seems to eat well and is constantly playing. The problem is that the SPCA vet wants to pull...

Hi, I have asked this question before and wrote down all the info but now that it the season I can't find it . I need to ask for it again, sorry We have outside cats that have claimed us as theirs. We would like to use a spray or powder for ticks and fleas. We don't feel we can use collars...

We live in the woods. We have outside kitties that have made us theirs. How can we control the wood ticks that seem to gravitate to them? And...do cats get Lyme's disease? Is there a powder or spray that works? I would hate to put collars on them because the collar could get snagged on something...

I have a 2 1/2 year old nuetered male. Tubby has had "tears" in his eyes off and on since yesterday (Thursday 11/1). Are they really tears or does he have a health problem? He seems to be okay otherwise. Although, he did sleep more today than ussual. A little more history would be: we also...

I have never done this before. I hope that I am following the prescribed format. On Sunday morning, at 4:15 I was waken by the sound of a pathetic cry for help from a cat. Because I live in the deep woods I needed to wait until almost dawn before I could investigate this poor baby's cry for...
