    Brain Tumor/Swelling

    Satey, my 14-year-old neutered indoor-only male, started having problems walking yesterday. He jumped up on the sofa at around 7PM and stayed there all night. I figured he may be experiencing arthritis or something because he is quite overweight, and I didn't really worry about him too much...

    Lethargic kitten

    OK first for a little background. My friend is a vet tech and last Friday the principal at her kid's school handed her this kitten who wandered onto the campus and basically said "Here, you're a vet tech, can you take this kitten?" My friend took him into work and ran tests for FeLV and FIV, and...

    Cat foils kidnapper?

    I saw a story on the news last week maybe on Tuesday or Wednesday about a cat who stopped a kindnapping from occuring. A little girl was in her yard holding her little gray cat when a man tried to nab the girl. The cat then started attacking the man's head. The girl's mother was going to re-name...

    Satey is OK

    I just got Sateycat back from the vet. We took him in this morning to finally have the cyst removed from his neck and have a teeth cleaning. We drove all the way over to Bakersfield (40 miles) in the fog at 7AM. My mom woke up this morning with a feeling of dread (maybe something to do with the...

    Did Satey have a zit?

    A few days ago while scratching under Satey's chin, I felt a rough spot near his mouth. I was just going to bed, so I decided that I would check it out later. So later on I had my mom hold Satey for me while I took a look at it, and discovered what appeared to be a very large blackhead about the...

    Itroductions in the Lounge

    Anne, would there be any way we could get a Sticky in the lounge where all the new introductions could go (and the older members could post a bit about themselves too for the newer members)? It's really hard to keep up with seperate intro threads.

    Just want to say hello to all the new epople I haven't said Hello to yet

    What color should cats' urine be?

    Gus is 6 months old, on kitten food, and his pee is sort of dark yellow. Satey's urine is fairly light yellow. He's on a high-fiber weight loss food. I was just wondering because Gus' urine was really dark when we changed his litter. He also seems to pee a lot, which doesn't surprise me since...

    Gus the Garbage Digger

    OK we have a problem. Gus loves to get into the kitchen trash. Our kitchen is pretty darn small so a big lidded can is out of the question and I haven't seen any kitchen-sized cans with lids other than those that flop down and back when you put trash in. Also, no cupboard space to set the can...

    Why does kitten poo smell so bad?

    I have Sateycat's litter box in my room, and although it sometimes gets stinkypoo, it is nothing compared to what little Gus' litter smells like. When we first got him he was on Iams food. I smelled the food and it was really strong, and I figured that was what was making his poo smell so...

    I was going to try and just slip back on in

    But I figured you all wouldn't have that! :laughing2 I've been away on an extended vacation from the net. I've a lot of catching up to do here I see! I most likely won't be on as frequently as I was before. I don't really understand why, but after a week or so of not getting online, I started...

    Getting hairball remedy down my cat

    OK, Sateycat gets an actual hairball about once a year, but he vomits up food (only food, no hair or bile) quite a bit, and I've read that this could be due to hairballs also. So after I woke up to the longest pile of kitty-food-puke on my floor the other day I decided to start a regimen of...

    Does anyone use Tidy Cat Crystals or is interesteed in trying it?

    I have a whole bunch of $1 and $2 off coupons for it, but I switched litters. I'd hate for them to go to waste, so I will send 3 or so coupons to the first 2 people who post and are comfortable giving me a mailing address (in a PM or email of course, don't post your address here)

    Furry Mice

    OK I know many of you say your cats LOVE these things, but I got to thinking: just what kind of fur are those things made out of? I started thinking about some news show a few years ago that did a story of furry figurines that were found to be made in China out of cat fur. While I seriously...

    Commercials that frighten me

    Have you all seen that new Levi's low-cut jeans commercial with the singing belly buttons? Frankly, that commercial scares the crap out of me. Another one that scares me? The Pepperidge Farms Goldfish Crackers commercial. Have you ever really listened to the jingle? At one point it goes "It's...
