I have two very long hair cats. They hate to be brushed. Most of the time they don't even like to be pet for more than 5 minutes. Shedding is a huge problem. They vomit all the time.  I know they aren't happy the way they are. I would like to ask my vet to shave both of them. I don't want him to...

I don't know if you all have read heard this, but it really makes me sick. The small town of Randolf IA has experienced a feral cat population boom. As a result the mayor is offering $5 for each cat that is caught and turned in to him. Once turned in, the cats will be taken to a local vet and...

I was caring for a pregnant stray cat. I built her a nest in my shed seemed pretty content. She gave birth to 2 adorable little kittens. Things seemed to be going well until yesterday. She diappeared. I haven't seen her in over 24 hours. Her kittens are about 11 days old. They cried a little...

My neighbor's 4 cats keep visiting my house. I notified him that his cats are constantly over here but he doesn't seem to care. I can't afford to care for them. My family has 5 cats of our own. My neighbor doesn't seem to care much about them. He's gone most of the time because of work. Three...

My cat's ear was a little swollen and puffy last week. I noticed it felt like there was fluid in it. I'm guessing he must have injured it while playing with one of my other cats. It didn't seem to bother him so I have just been monitoring it. This week most of the fluid and puffiness has gone...

I've been taking care of my neighbors kitten that was abandoned by its mother a few weeks ago. She's about 13 weeks old. Things were going very well. She was very active and happy. She was having solid stool until today. Today I noticed that her poop is watery and yellowish. I haven't changed...

Someone SHOT my cat today. She was an outside/inside cat. I didn't realize that letting her outside would kill her. She loved warm weather. It's been so nice here this weekend that I let her out to enjoy some fresh air. I was outside this morning and heard two gunshots very close to my house. I...

I recently disoverd that my cats have fleas. It was a pretty bad infestation and it was in the carpets too. I used borax to kill the fleas living in the carpet and vacume often. It seems to have done the trick. I am using Frontline on the cats and have found that it has really helped but hasn't...

I recently dicoved my cats have fleas. They are on frontline. I gave them their first dose on August 12th. It's supposed to last one month but I noticed fleas again yesterday. They are itching pretty bad again. I am wondering is it okay for me to give them their next dose even though it hasn't...

Curly loves to sit inside the dishwasher. He was so cute today I decided to take a couple pictures.

I found out late last week that one of my schoolmates was injured by a roadside bomb while serving in Iraq. The doctors think he will survive but he has some pretty severe injuries to his legs and chest. He's facing possible premanent disfigurement and many months of phyiscal therapy, not to...

I have two long haired beauties that I absolutely adore, but they shed BAD. My clothes, house, and nearly everything I own is covered in white cat hair. I even get it in my mouth and sometimes in my food. Their coats are nice and shiny and they are very healthy so I don't think its a nutrition...

I was wondering if anyone would have any ideas as to what breed my cat is. I know he is a mixed breed, but I am wondering what breeds he may have in him. His mother was plain gray, but she had often given bith to pointed cats, some looking like lynx point and others resembling seal point. She...

I posted about this problem a few months ago. I had my two 8 month old kittens neuterd back in February. When they came home they had problems walking. They wobbled and couldn't jump or play. I decided to give it some time. They did get a little better but there was still a noticable change in...

I had two young cats nutered a couple of days ago. They aslo got their shots. They are still both a bit shaky on their legs. One has been shivering a little, like he is cold or nervous. Is this normal?They seem fairly happy and healthy otherwise. I'm just wondering when I expect them to start...

My sister just adopted a 10 week old male kitten on Tuesday. She is stumped on what to name him and so am I. As you all can see he is adorable. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Today for my Aging Services class visited a nursing home. I love the elderly, but I really don't like nursing homes. I did some volunteer work at this particular home for a short time a couple of years ago. I found that most of the residents were very unhappy and I dreaded working with them...

I just thought I would share this picture of my kitties. They decided to take a nap together and ended up in a pile on the floor.

I'm not sure where to post this, but my friend has 2 cats, but lately her neighbor's cats have been comming into her yard to poop. She is very frustrated because they also eat her cats food. She doesn't want to put her cats inside because they are have always been outside cats and are very...

I just discoverd a small lump on the right side of my kitten's neck, right under her jaw. She is primarily an indoor cat, but ventures outside a couple of times a week. It doesn't appear to be causing her pain, and she seems to be very happy. Does anyone have any ideas as to what it might be?
