Can you put rocks around the bottoms of the plants? gravel etc.? Just a thought . . .

okay . . . my nearly one year old cat has some problems, I admit that, and I noticed she chewed on things occasionally, but I thought she was teething. I just noticed on the stair rail . . upper banister area is a wide ledge where she lays . . the corner . . is gnawed OFF! like a dog would do! and ....

Just wanted to say, my vet called ME just now . . . wow . .I love this vet! Called to check on both my kitties as a followup call. I mentioned the runny, stuffy nose and she said it just takes time, use all the antibiotics and if it gets worse after that/does not improve, bring Sam back in.

Our new 6 mo old kitten Sam got checked out by the vet Monday and has a cold in his eye and a runny nose. He's on eye antibiotic ointment and amoxicillin orally and seems to have perked up, but I can hear him breathing (snorting and snuffling) from across the room and he blows bubbles out his nose. ...

I have to take my other cat, Sam, to the vet this afternoon . .guess I'll ask while I am there . . .

I posted this in the quirks thread but it would make me feel sooooo much better if someone told me this was normal cat behavior and not that there was a problem. I read somewhere that after a cat is spayed, the cat could have tail paresthesia . . .could this be what is going on? Painful tail or numb...

My 11 month old calico Scuttle does more than chase her tail. She will spend most of the morning and late evening looking over her shoulder at it and growling, hissing and literally attacking herself. Sometimes she bites herself on the hind foot so hard that she howls in pain . . .what is up with th...
