Try to get her to eat more. She's probably starving. Get her to the vet as soon as you can. There may be 24/hr vets in your area. She probably has worms etc. and is dehydrated/underfed. This can kill kittens (all of us really) if the situation isn't reversed in time. It's wonderful that you took...

How would they ever really know? I mean, you could just say you have no pets, right? Or give false info? It's not like they're going to do home visits to check. For the record, I'm pro-vaccination.

Hi, First of all, I just want to thank you all for your responses. carwashcats, I'm hesitant about contacting the "Humane" Society because I'm worried that, if they actually did come out to and trap the cats, they'd be euthanized. A few months ago, one of the cats gave birth to a litter under...

There are about 25-30 feral cats living in the alley behind my house and they keep reproducing. I just realized upon seeing a 2-3 month old kitten that there's been a 4th litter since I moved here in May. They all seem pretty happy and are in a relatively safe location, but they are just going...

I haven't called the vet yet for a number of reasons... Yes, I think she may just be one of those cats who wants to patrol her territory a bit. This worries me. Not just because of the immediate concerns, but because I also live in NYC and sooner or later we're going back to my apartment there...

She doesn't seem upset by the strays; she seems like she really wants to make friends. I think she's lonely and kinda bored. The other cats haven't tried to warm to her really, but she's not had any experience with other cats since the shelter I picked her up from and she was terrified at that...

Hey, Sorry, my initial post got accidentally cut off. Yes, I was asking several questions. I've tried her on a harness several times, but she refuses to move on it. And, frankly, in this new hood, I think it might make her seem even more weak to the other cats and I don't want to do anything to...

Hi. So, my cat is a bit over a year old. I had her spayed about sixth months ago when she began to display signs of going into heat (catterwauling, trying to dart out the door, etc.) I have always kept her as an indoor cat, but have allowed her maybe a handful of highly supervised outdoor...

She's an indoor cat. I take her out occassionally, but I haven't recently.

I guess it's just her own little scent. She doesn't smell bad and it isn't strong or anything, but she smells vaguely like one of those oils you'd find in a hippie shop between the magic crystals and the tarot cards. It's weird. No, I haven't given her a bath. I don't think she'd let me.

She's not quite a year old and she's fixed. When I first noticed the smell, it was after I'd gotten back after about a week or so out of town and my neighbor had been taking care of her for me. I thought maybe he'd rubbed some oil essence into her coat. I didn't mention the scent. I was just...

Has anyone found a solution? My poor girl has come down Collagen Lip again. It's been about 5 months since the last flare up. Before that about 3 months. Then two weeks between incidents. Her bowls have been changed from ceramic to stainless steel, her food from various run of the mill stuff to...

Is this normal? My mother has a cat who drools whenever you pet him. He purrs the second your hand touches his fur (if not first sight of you walking in the room). She's bad with animals and had kept 2 of the cats locked in the basement in pretty much total isolation (except for feedings and...

When I got my kitten from the shelter, she was host to several different kinds of worms and parasites plus a nasty cold and, from this, developed blocked anal glands. The vet just relieved them there right in front of me. Took a few seconds. Didn't seem to bother her more than anything else...

It's really amazing. I understand how they are ahead of humans when it comes to natural disasters (i.e. sensing underground rumbling before an earthquake that we're just not equipt to hear), but their ability to read not just body language, but changes in body chemistry, etc. astound me. It's...

She slept most of the day and seems to have given up on the idea of biting the stitches out. Much to my relief. It may be that once the drugs wore off she realized she was hurting herself. The vet wants me to pick up some anti-biotics. She doesn't really look swollen now, but she has a history...

1am update: I cut the adhesive off a large bandaid and fastened surgical tape to it and tried to put it over the stitches but she wasn't having it at all. I, then, tried putting the paper cone on her again and that didn't work either. Then, I broke down crying for a while, mostly out of...

I took in, I think 5 samples, with visible worms in them (both round and tape) and none of the exams came up positive. I was getting so fed up, "Negative. Negative. Negative." "I'm watching worms crawl out of her butt right now." "The exam says she doesn't have them." "They're slithering out of...

I cut off the leg of a pair of panty hose with the sock idea in mind, but realized that it would just ride up as her incision goes slightly beneath her hips. She was just at it again & I water gunned her. Theoretically, I could knock on the door of the neighbor (spritzed her again) who has...

I got my kitten spayed today. Aside from being very drugged up, she seems to be doing pretty well. But she's been trying to bite her stitches out since we got home. Apparently, she put up quite a fight at the vet's office (both before and after the surgery) and, because of this, we didn't get...
