Hey All, My kitty has a sore on one of his paws. It's a dry spot that's like a little crater that goes into the pad. Almost reminds me of a human plantar wart. See in the pic below how it has raised edges around? I gently scraped at it, thinking that he might have picked up a sliver or thorn...

Every time I have company, he runs under the bed and hides. It's very frustrating. Many of these people are cat owners, and would like to say hello. Any way that I can encourage him to be a better host? tyvm

Recently my cat starting breaking a lot of rules: 1. Tearing up my furniture, including my carpets, my bed, and my kitchen chairs. 2. Sitting directly on the couch, instead of his assigned red pillows. To keep him from clawing up my nice leather couches, he's under orders to sit on some comfy...

So I come home from work today, and Mr. Fluffytail is waiting for me on the steps outside, as usual. I sat down for a moment to scratch his head and say hello, and along comes my neighbor, walking her two dogs. The first dog was not really much of a concern; a little Yorkie or something...

I'm not sure if it's what I'm feeding him, but his mane is really thick and furry. He looks like a little lion! Maybe it's because it's November and his winter coat is fully in.

Since the day he met her, my cat HATES my friend. I don't know why, and it's driving me crazy. Every time he hears her, he runs for cover!  I am a younger man with just one cat; she an older woman with a half-dozen cats. Does he smell her cats? Is she encroaching on his territory? wth? He...

So we're having a little heat wave in the Northeast USA right now--it was like 90 degrees today. My little guy hasn't shed his winter coat yet, and he started panting because he was so hot. So, I thought for a moment... can I open the fridge and hold him in front of it? Maybe put an ice bag on...

Hi Folks, Kitty has a brown crusty sore on his nose (pic below). It has appeared and grown over the last three days, but seems to have stopped getting bigger. He was neutered 9 days ago, so I was thinking that maybe hormonal changes are causing acne? He also was recently on medication for...

I know that it's the right thing to do; shelters are brimming with kittens that must be euthanized, it will help to stop him from peeing on things, he won't get into as many fights, it will reduce the risk of him contracting illnesses, and he won't roam as much. But I still feel like I'm...

Hi Folks My kitty seems to be sick, and I don't know what to do: 1. He has two sores on his lips,each a little smaller than a pencil eraser 2. He is scratching himself, a lot 3. has small scabs on his skin; not sure if it's from the scratching or something else or a combination of the two...

So I managed to get a date for Valentine's day but I'm not sure what to do and where to go. Any ideas? Just to narrow things down a bit: 1. We both get home pretty late from work and so won't be leaving until about 8pm, and probably won't be up for any huge excursions. 2. It won't be a dinner...

Hey Peeps, My cat loves Loves LOVES beef liver. He can eat it every day, no problem; but, how much is too much? Do I need to balance out his diet more? He's a healthy kitty--bright eyed with a lustrous coat.. I'm feeding him about 12oz a day--which seems like a lot, but he's an indoor/outdoor...

Hi Folks, I still find this hard to believe, but he just jumped into my lap, purring like crazy, and went to sleep. He's an indoor-outdoor cat, and can go anywhere in the world that he wants to. He didn't even want to go out today because it's cold, icy, and snowy out. He ran right back up the...

We went through our usual routine this morning... I got up, petted him, brushed him, fed him, and put his collar on. The next step is to open the door and let him out for the day. The only problem is that we had a snowfall yesterday, and it's very cold and icy out. He went to the door, stepped...

He's been gone for three days =( I'm hoping that he's hangin' out with his new girlfriend. Here's the story so far: The last time I saw him was on Saturday. Everything was fine; I was outside fixing my bike, and I let him out. I scratched his head and said hello, and he wandered off to do his...

Howdy, How, and why, does my cat curl up and take a nap with massive amounts of activity. People are talking, laughing, and screeching; music is blasting, the tv is blaring--and Chubbs is curled up taking a nap. Not in a secluded corner; on the chair where he usually sleeps, How is this...

Hello cat forum peoples! My cat's name is Chubbs. He's the best pet I've had in my almost 40 years on this planet. Before him I was a dog and parakeet person, but this amazing animal has converted me. He's and indoor/outdoor cat. Funny.. many people have to worry about their cat getting out of...

I've been feeding him chicken parts since he was a kitten (mostly because it's only $0.49/lb) and he loves drumsticks. He's got his drumstick-eating-technique down. He starts at the base end (the end a human would hold) and methodically crunches his way from there to the meaty end, eating every...
