Do you think pet cats should be declawed? Mine are not, but I know many people who have declawed their cats. Do you see it as a cruel and unnecessary procedure, or as a practical and harmless way to stop your cat from scratching?...

inkstainedheart My cat is both indoor and outdoor, so I decided not to declaw him. He has already encountered other cats and dogs, and I want him to be able to defend himself should he be attacked. That and he doesn't understand the concept of climbing trees to get away from...

Its supposed to help with cats going out of the litterbox and for soothing fighting cats and soothing cats in new environments. I was just curious if anyone out there had ever used it and if you have how did it work? Was it worth...

My family had to putmy dog down about fve weeks ago. About 30 hours ago, my cat went outside. Always asked to go out after dinner, so it was noting unusual. But He didn't come back. Just this morning, we got a call from the vet's...

My husbands cat started drooling yesterday for no apparent reason. We can't find anything he ate and he is otherwise acting normal. I called the vet and they were really no help, just said to keep an eye on him. Lats night he...

sedel1027 I had read a similar article yesterday. Our cats are indoor only. Everything we keep in the house - even what we use to clean the house - is all pet friendly.

CJgirly Hey Sedel here's something you may want to take a look at, it says that drooling in cats can be caused by toxins like poison or household chemicals. is your kitty indoor or outdoor? hope this helps.

CJgirly I've seen a ton of cats drool when you are petting them, usually in your lap when they are "knitting" but I can't say I've noticed it any other time. My dog will start to drool right before he is going to throw up. But I guess these little habits wouldn't just...

Loverbear I have socialized feral cats for years. It takes time and patience, but it can be done. I usually start by supplying them with food on a daily basis. I feed them in an area where they feel safe and watch from a distance. I start creeping up to where they are...

Signal20 Years ago I lived at this house, had several cats that would come around but there was this black cat that we'd see, but he would never come near anyone. One day I put a can of wet food out where he was hiding, and just watched him from a distance. He chowed...

lululastrange Hey there, feral cats are tough to socialize... sometimes even trained professionals aren't able to socialize a cat for living as a pet, though they can and should be captured and taken in for a spay or neuter and for his/her shots... There are a lot of...

thyst07 I'm a foster for a no-kill organization, so I totally support them. Unfortunately, being no-kill means that if they get too full and don't have enough space, they have to turn cats away and those cats probably will end up at the humane society. I think this is...

maezee I don't donate to them, but I actually used to volunteer with one in my area called "Feline Rescue Inc.", and it was (and still is, of course), a no-kill kitty shelter. I really do respect these places. It's so incredibly sad when you see pounds & even humane...

momtrying2makeit I would have to say no but my cats are indoor cats, they do not go outside at all so I doubt they would catch such a flu. Than again you never know I thank you for sharing this in case I see them getting sick. Now I have to say I think my dog got sick a copule...

nevaul Yeah, my cat always catches mice(and a mole once) and feels the need, for some reason, to try and include me in his toying with the mouse before he kills it. Normally it's about that time that I dump some treats on the floor for him, snag the mouse, and...
