One of my cats, one of my many cats, came to me as a tiny kitten with this adorable, mischievous look on her little face. I thought, that's it, she needs a middle name. Why, you may ask? Well, when you call somebody by their...

Our neighbor's cat caught a bird outside today. She does this all the time, and doesn't seem to be affected by it. It's sad, because I love birds. But, she's a cat, so she does what she wants! I'm worried though that the...

When we got our female cat she was about three weeks old. I think the neighbors gave her to us because she was sick and could barely walk. She's fine now. But, I've always wondered if they should have waited longer before...

Is there such a thing as cat menopause?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 18 Jun 07

Recently, someone suggested that cats go through menopause too. I've never heard of this before, but it might have some merit. Maybe we just don't notice natural menopause in cats, because most female house cats are spayed....

If a cat gets spayed...

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 18 Jun 07

I'm worried that my female cat might run outside and get into a fight with one of the neighborhood cats. She's a real puff-ball, but she can hiss a lot! If a cat gets spayed, does she lose the ability to defend herself?

Before our male cat was neutered, he would spray our front door. We lived in an apartment at the time. We took him to the vet shortly thereafter and the spraying stopped. But, I've never understood why he would choose to mark...

Cats and eyelids

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 16 Jun 07

I've heard that cats have a third eyelid. Do you think that's true. Why would a cat need more eyelids? Maybe it has something to do with living outdoors. I've never seen them, but I have noticed that my cats eyes (the black inner...

My cat cleans herself after flea treatments and I'm worried that she'll get sick. I don't want to use harmful chemicals on her fur, but can't live with the fleas. I'd love to find an over the counter non-toxic flea control...
