Hi, haven't posted in a while. Have three cats, 7 year old female and two 5 year old males (litter mates). Something is very wrong with one of the males, Doodad. He started throwing up a few months ago, I thought it was something he was eating in the back yard, all three of my cats occasionally...

two of my three cats have been vomiting abnormally often, couple times a week. They seem fine otherwise, no weight loss, plenty of energy. Well today I was out working in the back yard where they roam around and noticed my single mesquite tree had dropped dozens of seed pods on the ground. I did...

A few weeks ago I had my female cat Moonbat in for an annual at the vet and they suggested a  feline leukemia virus vaccine which for some reason I decided to go ahead and have them do. I just took her in for the booster and dropped her off, 5 minutes later they called my cell and said there is...

Wanted to throw this out there and get some opinions. I have three cats, two males and a female. Of the three, the female is by far the most affectionate, the one who sleeps with me and comes looking for attention every morning when I sit down at the computer to work (the lap time "belly...

Regarding cats and the sounds they make -- I was looking over the site page here and didn't see anything regarding a sound my cats (particularly the female) make which I can only describe as "cussing". For example: 1.) Female ("Moonbat") wants to go outside so she sits by the back door in the...

I have three cats. Two male, Doodad and Ponce, one female, Moonbat. All three love me, of that I have no doubt (the feeling is mutual ). But, only the female, Moonbat, really likes to "love on me" (kneeding, purring, crying for attention). The two males like attention some as well but only for...

My two male cats, Ponce and Doodad, both like to drink water directly from the faucet over the kitchen sink when I have the water running. That is, they will lap water directly out of the stream running out of the faucet. Actually kind of cute, although I do have to shoo them away on occasion...

Greetings. I have three cats of my own and a few weeks ago, took in forth cat for a friend on a temporary basis. My friend works at a vet clinic in Salado; the cat came in because the owners were moving to Iraq to work in the oil fields on a permanent basis and couldn't take her with them. They...

Friend of mine works at a vet clinic and the other day she told me about a 9 year old declawed female name "Kali" (a calico) that had come in. Owners moved to Iraq semi-permanently to work in the oil fields. She asked if I would be interested in hosting her at my house with my other three cats...

One of my three cats has been occasionally throwing up. Like once a week or so, right after eating. Otherwise, he seems perfectly normal. Weight is fine, seems to have normal energy level, not acting weird. If heâ€8482s eating something he shouldnâ€8482t, Iâ€8482m fairly confident itâ€8482s not...

I have two 5 month old boys, Ponce & Doodad, brothers and recently neutered. Very sweet and entertaining guys One of the things I've noticed about them is they will get into these "lick-fest" (my term) sessions wherein Doodad totally goes to town on Ponce's ears. Not just inside the ears, but...

My three cats, especially the older (2 1/2 year) female are okay sleeping in the same room with me except for one thing. Starting around 4:00 AM, they start trying to wake me up. Pouncing, stomping and even sometimes (gentle) bites or claws. I usually pull the blanket over me and roll over...

Seems like every house plant that I've ever purchased at Home Depot turned out to be on the LONG list of plants potentially posionous to cats and I had to throw them out. Wanted to check and see if anybody can recommend something safe and relatively easy to take care of. This would be going in...

My male cat Wingnut was killed in my backyard this morning by *something*. I woke up this morning at 2:30 AM and let my cats Wingnut and Moonbat out in the backyard with their Invisible Fence collars on, as usual. Backlight porch and floodlights on. Done it many times. I then went to my...

Almost posted this as a follow up to the “How do we know if we need to re-introduce cats†thread, but wanted to start a new one since this is a little more severe. Iâ€8482m seeing a disturbing level of aggression developing in my male cat Wingnut -- to the smaller female Moonbat (both 1 1/2...

After wanting a dog for many years, I finally broke down and accepted an 8 week old Snauwzer <sp> Jack Russell mix into my life (named “Spudnikâ€). My cats, Wingnut and Moonbat donâ€8482t know what to make of her. When I let her out of her crate, she immediately starts chasing the cats, who...

My male cat, Wingnut, is significantly overweight. Heâ€8482s a large yellow tabby, but 17.8 lbs is a bit much. My vet says he should be around 15, maybe 16 lbs at the most. Funny thing is, he doesnâ€8482t really look that much overweight, but he is. So, I am feeding him less and using low-cal...

I have two cats, a male and female (neutered and spayed) both about a year and a half old. The female, Moonbat, has recently taken to howling in the very early AM, around 3-4 AM. Sort of like "OowwwW!", repeated over and over. Very loud, enough to wake me up sometimes. Always in the living...

My male cat, Wingnut, refuses to defecate in his cat box about 90% of the time. Instead, he goes on the floor next to it. Urinating in the box is no problem for him (thankfully). My female, Moonbat, has no problem using the box at all. The box is one of those large plastic affairs with a...

In the first year of my new house (before I got my two cats) I discovered and killed three scorpions inside the house. These are the small, brownish-gold, semi-translucent ones you find in central Texas. Terminix has sprayed inside and out, but nevertheless, one or two scorpions will probably...
