I rescued an 11-year old Ragdoll Janurary past. He's adjusted remarkably well except: he won't let me groom him. We do have a problem with petting aggression if he's touch anywhere on his body except the face and neck. He does need occasional grooming but he won't let me near him! He...

Hi fellow cat-lovers. I have 2 questions about my 10-year old, DSH, neutered male. 1). He is white with pink skin. As he ages, he likes sleeping on the deck in the sun more and more. Sometimes he snoozes in the shade under a deck chair. Is it safe to apply sunblock to his ears and nose...

I say not likely. The Khao Manee is a rare breed and the odds that you have one by chance are slim.

I had a flame point Siamese that was obsessed with plastic shopping bags and anything plastic including cellophane wrappings from items such as CDs. It is my understanding that these types of bags/wrappings have a fish oil residue left on them during the manufacturing process.

Thank you all for your replies and ideas. I have not yet gotten him to the vet, but off-hand, he doesn't act as if he has health issues. He drinks and eats plenty and has gained some weight since he came to us. I don't have experience with declawed kits as its something I am dead-set against...

I had a cat that the vet insisted had bad Teeth. Three teeth were extracted but he didn't improve. As it turned out he had a maxillary sinus tumor. The tumor was about the size of a quarter and by the time it was found on x-ray had started to break through the palate. My advice is if...

I guess that's the trouble with rescuing an adult--I have no idea what his back ground is, how he was raised, fed, etc. I don't know why he was surrendered in the first place (perhaps he developed box issues that his previous keeper couldn't/wouldn't handle.). I don't/won't give up so easily...

He does use the boxes at times. They are all large, uncovered, and spread around the basement. My suspicion is that the female that spends most of her time down there ambushes him before he makes it down there. I have 4 other cats and sometimes one or more sleep on the stairs. I am also...

He has been with us since mid-Jan. he's been free in the house after a week isolated. There are 5-large boxes. I do not use Feliway.

This is him, BTW, and his name is Teddy.

I recently rescued an 11-yo neutered front declawed, polydactyl, cross-eyed, Ragdoll-Wannabe. He was an owner surrender and spent about 4-weeks at an animal shelter before coming to me. I was assured he got along well with dogs and cats--dogs yes, cats not so well. He spent the first several...

I have a household of 2 dogs and five cats (all neutered/spayed.) I have one 3-year old cat who is lovely and sweet except... Maggie has developed the worst case of fear aggression towards the other animals. Her fears are so bad she has resigned herself to live in a tree in the woods on the...

Here's one of Duffy and Mattie. Mattie is a 68lb Black Lab/Sharpei Mix.

I bought it at PetsMart for $9.99. If your cat is an indoor cat, she should love it straight away. A cat with outdoor experience may not take to it at all as he has "seen the real thing." My two little ones are loving it ... they are 5 months old and have never seen a real mouse or bird up...
