Juno is an 8yr. old semi feral cat. She has a pink/reddish discharge from both her eyes. I am the only person she allows to touch her. When someone comes to the door she runs and hides.I know she needs to go to the vet, but catching her is impossible for me as I can't crawl around under beds...

I have been using a store brand (Aldis) litter in my two boxes. Someone gave my cats a gift card to a pet store so I used it to buy two large boxes of Fresh Step. I cleaned one of the boxes and refilled with Fresh Step. It has been a week now and only one of my three cats will use it. The other...

Fluffy saw her chance when I opened the door to put out food for the outside cats and ran out before I could grab her. She has been paw fighting the outside cats through the storm door and I think maybe one of them was nearby.  I live on the border of Cleveland OH and Brooklyn. She's a...

Some background, I had 2 other cats for 6 yrs before I rescued Fluffy. She was a stray who evidently had been a TNR cat, with her left ear notched. I couldn't stand seeing her suffer outside in the freezing weather so I brought her in over 2 years ago. She never did get along with one of my...

My stray cat, Fluffy, who I've had 1 1/2 years has recently been peeing on the carpet. Maybe she's been doing this all along as I saw small spots on the steps. I also have two other cats and never had a problem. Fluffy & resident cat #1 have never gotten along, but #2 cat & she do. I have two...

My daughter hasa black long haired male cat. He was a stray so we don't know his age. This cat is turning gray. He now is about 40% white. I never heard of animals turning gray. Anyone have this experience?

I rescued a stray female last November. I had two resident cats also female. The new cat, Fluffy, a beautiful long haired gray cat promptly took over the house. She had been spayed, our city rescue program does TNR and removes the tip of the left ear before they release them back outside. This...

Need advice. There are 3 strays where I work, an apartment bldg. A resident feeds them each day but it is heartbreaking to see them sitting outside staring in the office window. Its getting colder and I don't know if I can stand this much longer. They wait for the resident and when she goes out...

My cat stole a 5 inch black makeup brush from a dresser top. It has a long black handle and black brisles. She carries this from room to room wherever I happen to be. At night she brings it in the bedroom making loud meows as she carries it. Its like she thinks its a kitten. Silly cat. I've...

I need opinions on Nutro Max weight control. I was in Petco yesterday and was all set to buy Nutro Natural for weight management, but all they had was tuna flavor. I then picked up Blue for weight mgmt. There was a Nutro rep in the store and he convinced me to try the Nutro Max. I talked to him...

Last Friday we clipped Juno's nails. Its not an easy thing to do. First I need to catch her. She's still somewhat feral and will not let me pick her up. She also weights over 16 lbs. I cannot chase her and crawl under things for her. Anyway she was by me and I was able to pick her up. I held her...

Sweetie is a 3yr. old spayed tabby. Just recently I've noticed her bad breath. Last year at her checkup the vet said she was building tartar. She's due for a checkup but I need to find a new vet. Her old vet was up for sanction from the State due to some mistreatments to her animal patients. I...

I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this. For over a year I've received daily e-mails from Dr. Jon and all of a sudden they've just quit. I've tried to re-sign but I guess I'm not doing something right. Please help me. I have found his articles really helpful and the videos are...

My daughter finally caught Mama Kitty and she is in for spaying this morning. She is a feral who is been living in my daughter's neighborhood for a couple of years. Of course my daughter feeds her.

Some time ago, somewhere, I saw a vacuum for cats. The motor is put in one room and a very long hose attaches. The cat is not aware of the noise and thinks your just brushing her. The hair is sucked into the vacuum into another room. My problem is I don't remember the name of this product. I...

The last few days, I caught Sweetie chewing on the straps of my leather purse. The purse is not new and she's never done this before. I went so far as to put it in a plastic grocery bag and she tried to get in the bag. The straps have teeth marks all on them. Hopefuuly I'm getting a new one for...

My two cats are strictly indoor cats. What's the recommendation for flea treatment? I don't have any windows open downstairs but my storm doors have pull down windows on top. The opening on top has screens. I do feed strays/ferals outside. My cats sit in the windows upstairs. I do know that...

I started out by feeding a stray/feral that was trying to eat bird seed that was on the ground by a feeder. My daughter put out some cat food and I started to feed this cat twice a day. I could never approach her and she fed mainly early AM and late PM so I never saw her. Once day when I did...

At xmas I was given a new electric blanket. Sweetie immediately started to lick the satin binding. I've been able to cover the blanket until now. Today I forgot to pull the comforter up over it and there she was again. My main concern is that its electric. I've heard of cats sucking wool but...

For the past few months I've been feeding a stray. I live in northern Ohio and our winter has been cold and snowy. I could not take her in since I have 2 cats of my own and live in a no pet co-op. I fill her bowl outside on my porch twice a day. I've only seen glimpses of her through the door...
