    How do you know when "it's time"???

    Hi all. My cat Miss K.C. hasn't been acting right. We do not know how old she really is. She was a stray who came to me back in late 1994. At that time --- she weight 3 pounds and was dirty, wormy, full of mites. Very icky, because she was a 'street rat'. Welp I took her in, cleaned her up, and...

    He keeps biting himself; is he going mad?

    My cat Hammie has just started this real weird thing; he will be sitting there all calm, then turn around & bite himself on the butt. Then he'll go for his tail. Then he'll bite his own shoulder or paw. He will bite himself pretty furiously, then just take off running like someone *else* did...

    Sweetest Day Saturday in the USA; who does it?

    This Saturday is Sweetest Day. I know there's some 'real' history about this holiday, but sometimes the fact there's another "Valentine's Day" makes me ill. How do you guys feel about Sweetest Day? Is it just another Hallmark-created holiday so you can go blow a bunch of money on your...

    Belly-up cats!

    Does anyone else have kits who do this? I walk into a room and see Zorro or Snickers belly up, just staring into nothing. It's the most vulnerable position they can be in, which floors me, cuz Hammie (my "Predator") ALWAYS jumps out of nowhere to pick a fight with my belly-up cats! I'd...

    Hairball remedies & your experience?

    Just curious if anyone else gives their cat Laxatone, PetroMalt, or other gel or malt hairball remedies? What's your experience with it? My cat Snickers is a long haired, excessive groomer. Very lovely but he gets HUGE hairballs that cause him to vomit a lot of fluid while he's bringing up...

    Low PH canned food, Eukanuba NOT working

    I'm supposed to go pick up something called "CP low PH" canned food tomorrow from my Vet. Snickers totally hates the Eukanuba, and now, the other cats are turning their noses at it! I wanted to use the stuff because I hate seeing food go to waste like this. But the other cats prefer the IAMS...

    Painful decision tomorrow: Need advice please.

    Hi guys, I dropped my cat, Snickers, off to the Vet Monday morning. I could tell he was having trouble peeing, and he was not his 'usual self'. Just laying around and well when he'd try to pee just a little dribble came out. The ER Vet Sunday afternoon told me Snickers did NOT have a blockage...
