    Obsessive Grooming?

    My cat Adolf has developed a habit of grooming himself to the point of losing fur. He's almost completely bald on his belly and has lost quite a bit of fur on his hind legs and sides. Very recently I've noticed a thinning of fur on his chin. I've been researching all the possible causes of this...

    Balding Kitty

    Mostly been switching his brands of food. Tried the all-natural route, doesn't seem to be a change. Haven't done raw food yet, I don't really know what's good for him in that area. I didn't think about the litter, actually. Ours isn't scented but for a while we were using Feline Pine, but we...

    Balding Kitty

    So one of my cats has gotten into the habit of licking/chewing his fur off. Yes, off. He's almost bald from his midsection to his hind legs. He doesn't seem to be in pain, and I've checked him for any kind of ailments. No fleas, worms, etc. Not even any flaking or discoloration that I would...

    Getting Desperate

    why did you choose to own 5 animals My cats are a litter - a mother and her three kittens (now grown). I've already given away the other 2 of the litter, as well as the father. The dog belongs to my mother. And like Carolina says, I am just not willing to give them to a shelter to be put down...

    Getting Desperate

    I hate to sound like I'm begging, but I'll be blunt - I'm dirt poor right now. We have soon to be 7 people and 5 (4 cats, one dog) animals in our house, with currently only one part time income to support us. We're living off food stamps and housing assistance, and it's not enough. For added...

    In Need Of A Home

    I have a short, but sad story to tell. Tonight a 12 year old girl came to our door in tears. She said she saw our dog in the front window and thought that since we have one animal, we might take another, and then offered us her cat. Turns out she and her family recently moved to the area. Their...

    What To Do...

    Found a home for the adorable little kitten. Showed him/her to one of the women who works in our complex office. She fell in love with it and she's going after work to get cat supplies

    What To Do...

    Found this little guy (girl?) outside on our porch tonight. Has a cold, I think. Eyes are gunky (I cleaned them), and he's got ear mites. No sign of a parent or owner, and he's really thin, so I think he's been on his own for a while. Gobbled down some food and drank his fill, now he's lounging...

    Furry Amusement

    These are not my cats, but as cat owners I'm sure most of you appreciate feline antics as much as I do, so here are some videos to enjoy. http://pogpog.com/v/what-cats-are-really-thinking/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1qHV...eature=channel Not a real cat video, but this guy really gets...

    Thanks For The Reminder, Kitties

    I recently got a somewhat shameful reminder of just how much of a computer nerd I am: I took a vacation to Kansas City for about a week, left my cats here with my family. They were taken care of, but I missed them. I was told stories of how they would all line up at the foot of my bed and just...

    Kitty Keeps Licking/Biting Fingers

    One of my cats, Squiggle, has a habit (almost a need) of licking people's fingers. I don't mind this, but he gets a little too enthusiastic sometimes and ends up biting. This part hurts. I've looked around a bit on the internet and the popular answer for this behavior seems to be that he was...

    Just Wondering

    It's not that the levels are abnormal, but I do have 4 cats and the smell can get a little overwhelming sometimes, even with regular cleaning. It's more a matter of curiosity than anything else, but to answer your questions; yes, they are all neutered/spayed, and they're on a dry food diet...

    Just Wondering

    From what I understand, what makes cat urine smell so bad is the ammonia in it... I've been wondering if it's possible to lower the ammonia levels in a cat's urine through changes in their diet. If it is possible, does anyone know what the best diet/food for that would be?

    When to break it up? with video link

    These two are playing, so they might be closer to being friends than you think. My kittens do it all the time, they're siblings.

    Endlessly Licking!

    One of my kittens, Squiggle, has a licking habit. He'll only lick people's fingers, and he seems to be very happy while doing it. But it's nearly impossible to get him to stop - he actually pulls my hand back to him if I try to move it away, and then he'll start nibbling/biting. He's gotten so...
