The FDA either did or will approve one-time intratesticular shots for permanent sterility in male dogs this year. A few other countries approved it already and in Colombia, cats also can be sterilized this way. Meanwhile, studies are being done on giving cats of both sexes the same drug used by...

Cats have a low thirst drive. The only way to make them get enough water is feed them wet food. Especially male cats because of their longer urethra. What you need to do is stop feeding kibbles altogether permanently unless he won't eat anything else. There is no such thing as a bladder-friendly...

After reading somewhere cats only meow to humans, I wondered why they are capable of meowing if their existence preceded domestication by thousands of years.

OMG that is as funny as it is disgusting! At least he did not eat it like some dogs do. You should ask Pam about that one next week.

Looks to me like Kramer is a purebred Siamese LOL. I don't know what Patricia is saying when she meows, but she shuts up when I respond. That silly girl never makes sense.

I always thought ankle mugging was just rough playing, not dominance. When Wilbur wanted to play with Patricia, he tapped her leg while he followed her.

How often do you usually have to clean the box?

Do you have any idea why he does that?

One exception to a hanging belly: that thing many people erroneously call the "spay sway." My cat Patricia has one and the most she ever weighed was 11 pounds. Now she is nine pounds and change.

Patricia was always a quiet cat when she had furry friends, but after settling into her new home (we moved from Ohio to Florida in December) with just me and my mom, she started meowing frequently when nobody was in the room with her. I am sure if I was allowed to have another cat with the lease...

I hope one week is enough time for her to answer all of them!

I clicked on the PRODUCTS tab, then selected the Organic Chicken Diet to see its ingredients. This is what I found:

Another cause is obesity. Fat cats can't clean their butts. I used to have an obese cat (supposed to wegh 12 but was usually 17 pounds) and his butt was dirty every day he pooped.

I was going to say different numbers, but maybe Laurie has more reliable or current information than what I read 10 years ago. What I read about FLV is they develop immunity in eight weeks, not "clear the virus." Is that saying the same thing in different words? Another important point: The...

I totally understand your concern. True, it could be nothing. But I would definitely ask the vet about it at her next annual exam.

When I looked up product information on the NM website, the ingredient list ended with "click on Vitamin and Minerals tab for more ingredient information," or something like that. In other words they have to add supplements just like all the companies that cook cat food. There is no Vitamins and...

I think we all have questions about crazy cats! They never make any sense. I already have some lined up. It will definitely be interesting. Anne, is there a limit on how many questions we can ask Pam?

What is Cat Attract?

This certainly is a health issue with the kittens. I totally agree they need to stay on wet food exclusively while dehydrated. However, it also is true which cans you give them matters. Because they have been losing a lot of water, if you can buy it locally, I would try Weruva (80% water and...

The AAFCO needs to go out of business. "Complete and balanced" for a cat means muscle, heart, gizzard, lung, tripe, liver, kidney, and bone. Actually it would include the brain too, but we all know nobody would buy one. Why hasn't the AAFCO figured out by now cats have absolutely no use for any...
