- I have a neutered, nine-year-old domestic shorthaired cat. He is quite a bit overweight and we are working on limiting his food intake. But even before this, he has been scratching and scratching. When he's not asleep, he's always itching. I groom him every second day but this has not helped. He doesn't have fleas and his skin doesn't look too dry (flakiness). I have taken him to the vet several times for this condition, but he has no further ideas as to why my cat is itching. We haven't changed the carpet, detergents or anything else that he is in contact with. Do you have any suggestions?
- My vet told me I needed to have my cat's teeth cleaned. What can I do in the future to help keep them clean?
- I have a little kitten who is just about three months old. She shakes her head a lot and puts her one ear down. Do cats have ear mites, and if so, how can I tell and what can I do?
- I have a cat who is just about a year old. I noticed that she has a bald spot about the size of a 50-cent piece on the back of her right leg. There is no hair there at all; it is bald right to the skin. Her skin is not red or irritated, and doesn't seem to hurt her when you touch her there. Could this just be from shedding, or do you think it could be something behavioral?
- I am considering adopting a cat from a local adoption center. She is a great cat and completely healthy, except she has no teeth. Apparently, her previous owners ignored an infection and the teeth all fell out. Thankfully, she is no longer with those folks. Anyway, my question is, are there any long- or short-term health problems I should be aware of that might be associated with her toothless condition or the original infection? Go figure -- she likes dry food!
- We are looking to adopt a kitten or young cat, and have been speaking with a Persian cat breeder in California who has the following situation: She has a 10-month-old male shaded silver Persian whose testicle has not yet descended. Would neutering the cat eliminate this problem, or could complications occur? I think in one of your articles I read they cannot be neutered until the testicle has descended from the abdomen. What if that never happens? I need to know if we should adopt this male, or if I should be warned against possible long-term health ailments.
- My kitten has a lot of gas. What can I do to solve that problem?
- I have a two-year-old cat and whenever he eats dry food he vomits. Is it OK to just give him canned food, and if so what should I look for in the ingredients?
- I have a four-month-old kitten whom I adopted off the street. I've noticed recently that when he goes out onto the patio he eats dirt (about once a day!). Is this a sign of illness, such as anemia, and what can I do to solve the problem?
- What can I use on my cats when they get scratches that do not require a vet visit?
- I have a six-month-old cat. She looks like she is overweight, but a few of my friends say that once a female cat has been spayed, their "apron" sticks out a bit. Is that normal for female cats? Or is she just overweight?
- We recently took Violet to the vet because she started limping and the vet diagnosed her as having blown out her knee. Is there anything we can do to lessen her pain? The vet suggested that we give her a half a baby aspirin every three days, but she still seems to be in such pain. Any suggestions on what we can do to make her more comfortable. Also, how long will she take to recuperate?
- I have a one-and-a-half-year-old Siamese cat and I was wondering if the type of food that she eats regularly could possibly change the color of her coat? When I found her about a year ago her coat was mainly cream colored, but now she is a darker brown color.
- My cat Sam is 16 years old. He is a red tabby and has been in excellent health. He has been a house cat his whole life. He is still playful and has a good appetite. However, he seems to be much thinner than he used to be and I was wondering if it is normal for cats, especially at his age, to start losing weight or if he may have worms or some other medical problem? His habits have not changed. He has slowed down, but is still active.
- I have a five-year-old female Persian who chronically gets urinary tract infections. My vet puts her on a course of antibiotics and it seems to clear up, but two or three weeks later it's back. She urinates quite a lot at a time, but there is blood in her urine. About five months ago it cleared up for about three months, but it recently came back and this time the antibiotics don't seem to be clearing it up. She was on a special struvite formula veterinary diet, but it doesn't seem to work, as she still chronically gets infections. I have thought of switching her over on to canned wet food and/or a raw meat diet, but am not sure whether this will solve my problem.
- My cat has trouble with his ears. There is a dark brown or black sticky substance in his ears. He lets me clean them, but it keeps coming back. The vet has given me antibiotics for it, but it still keeps coming back. There is no odor, but it bothers him a lot. Do you have any solutions to the problem?
- I took my cat to the veterinarian and he got an antibiotic injection in his leg. Right after that, he stared dragging the leg where he got the injection. Now he has lost control of it. It looks like there's nerve damage and no muscle control. It's hard for him to walk with that leg and he hardly moves at all. He even doesn't want to go to the litter box because of it. What do you think is wrong?
- I have a male cat who is an inside cat. Recently I have noticed that his breath is really bad. I'm not sure, but I think it is some kind of gum disease. I was looking at his teeth and noticed a round gray spot on his bottom gum, and right above on the top gum is another spot-but it doesn't look swollen like the spot on the bottom. What do you think this is?
- My female two-year-old, very active and playful cat, with a good appetite, is having short, frequent urination. This has been going on for three or four days. What can we do for this?
- I have a 12-year-old adopted black cat who has what looks like dandruff. Is this due to central heating, or does he lack something in his diet? He is not uncomfortable with it, it just doesn't look very nice. I brush him fairly regularly, and that seems to help for a short while. His fur is not long, but not short either. He is a very affectionate cat and has to sit on me wherever I am, so the dandruff is unsightly on my clothes.
- I have two kittens. Recently my husband bought me some tulips, and I saw the kittens eating one of my tulips (chewing on the petals and stem). There were three tulips, and now there is only one. I don't know if the cats ate them or hid them. Are they poisonous? What should I do for the kitties?
- About three weeks ago my cat broke off one of claws on his back paw. It bled only a little and he did not favor his back paw. After the claw was broken, it appeared to be turning a dark color, but it was not affecting him in any way. I let him go outside every few days and today he came in favoring his back paw. The pink skin around his claw was a little puffy, but it has not been leaking any pus. What should I do?
- What is the best way to clean a cat's ears? There's a lot gunk in my cat's ears and I want to clean it out, but I'm not sure of the best way to approach her.
- I have a 12-year-old male cat who has been sneezing about every 10 minutes. This has been going on for about a week. He is an indoor-outdoor cat. This has happened before, a year ago, and finally went away on its own. The air inside our house is very dry, since we use a wood heater in the winter. Could that be the cause?
- We have wonderful seven-month-old kitten. She has been spayed and is happy and playful. Today we noticed that her left eye appears to have a film over it. We think she can still see out of it, but we are concerned as to what it might be or if there is anything we can do. Any suggestions?
- My cat has had a bout of colitis. My vet had him on prednisone for about a week, which makes me nervous, because I hear it can have side effects. So far it has not returned, and I am hoping it was a one-time problem. I am supplementing his food with some enzymes and acidophilus (the active culture in yogurt). Do you have any suggestions about diet to help with this condition? He is a picky eater. I feed him a premium dry cat food and some canned food. Some days he will only eat about one third of a cup of dry food. He weighs about nine pounds.
- I adopted a cat from the Humane Society a few months ago, and she is an absolute joy. She is a Siamese-domestic shorthair cross. The problem? She has yet to have a normal bowel movement since I have brought her home. Her stool is runny and diarrhea-like and has never been otherwise since she has lived with me. I had originally started feeding her a premium dry food and switched to a hypo-allergenic food on the advice of my vet. She has had blood work and stool samples done, and everything has come back normal, but there has been no change in her habits. Leukemia, distemper, etc., were all ruled out by the tests. She is an otherwise happy and healthy cat, and doesn't seem to be affected -- except that she drinks a lot of water. Can you think of any reason for Maggie's problem? Is there something else that I can try? Is this normal?
- My one-and-a-half-year-old cat, Annie, loves food and weighs around 15 pounds. My vet has told me to put her on a strict diet of dry food only. The problem is that although I've been feeding Annie a small helping, maybe half a cup, three or four times a day, she still wants more food. She gobbles her portion up and then goes to finish my two-year-old cat's food, unless I'm watching her to get the other's food away. She always seems to be hungry! Could there be something wrong with her? My vet did mention that it could be some kind of a thyroid problem that we could investigate in the future.
- About a month ago my husband and I rescued two kittens from the pound. Both are very energetic and adapted very easily to the house and their new family. Recently we noticed that the hair above the eyes on one of them is gone, the skin is dry and the edges of her ears are very dry and cracked, like they are chapped. What can I do, and what is this a symptom of? A couple weeks ago she was very lethargic, and she wouldn't eat or drink anything. We waited a couple of days and she has been fine, so we just though it was a cold or something she got over. Could these two things be related?
- My one-year-old cat has had major problems with fleas. We've used every shampoo imaginable, and even had to go to the extreme of flea bombing our room several times. I'm keeping him indoors from now on, and I was wondering, will that stop all the fleas? His fleas have started biting me, and if I can't stop the fleas then I'll have to give him up. Please help!

- Ever since she was a few months old, my dark calico indoor cat, Lizzie, has had two favorite toys -- hair scrunchies -- that I play toss with her. She chooses these over any other toy in the apartment. Every morning when I go to the kitchen to feed her, or when I come home from work at night, I find one or both of these scrunchies by or in her food dishes. Why does she do this? What is she trying to tell me?
- We have a beautiful Siamese cat who is now one year and three months old. He was born under our porch. He is not mean or vicious, but he will only allow us to pet him for about one or two minutes. After some petting, he will try to bite my hand, put my hand in his mouth, try to grab it with his paws, or will sometimes actually bite me. He hasn't bit me really hard yet, but enough to scratch the skin a little. Do you have any idea why he wants to bite my hand?
- Our tiny, five-year-old Tonkinese, Tuttie Fruiti was given to us a few months ago by some cat breeders. She has adjusted fine to our younger but larger kitten, Doughboy, who likes to chase her around our house, then groom her with his paw over her back. She even licks him back, and seems to enjoy this. However, Tuttie is very vocal, and lately she has been meowing more than usual. It is obvious that she wants to get outside, as she scratches on the door, jumps up in the windowsill, and climbs up our legs when we're near the door, all while meowing as loudly as she can. We recently bought a harness and leash so we could take her outside, and she seems to enjoy sniffing around the places that she has observed from the windowsills. When we hold her when she is in one of these moods, she usually calms down, but when we put her down, she resumes her meowing and pacing near the door. We don't want to let her outside by herself, but her meowing is driving us crazy! What would you recommend?
- My girlfriend moved in with me about a year ago with her two cats. In the beginning we got on fairly well. But along the way I made the mistake of swatting the cats when they would do something wrong, like urinate in a plant or scratch up the couch. After reading about cats online, I have discovered that they do not respond well at all to negative reinforcement. Unfortunately, this is after the fact. Now they won't let me anywhere near them, at least not without hissing at me. How do I re-establish a good relationship with them when they run at the sight of me? I need help.
- We have two seven-month-old kittens who jump up on the table and the counters. We have tried everything we can think of to discourage this action, but a lot of times we are not home when they do it. Any suggestions?
- When I try to brush my cat, she attacks the brush. I don't know if she's playing or annoyed. She has a problem with hairballs and I think brushing her will help. Do you have any suggestions on how I can brush her without the aggressive behavior?
- I have five kittens. What is the best way to teach five kittens their names?
- My two male kittens (OK, they're nine months old) are littermates, and they both have the same quirk when they drink water. They make a motion as if to scratch the floor next to the dish with one or both paws just before beginning to drink, sometimes continuing for a few seconds after they begin to lap. We don't know if that is an ancestral behavior, or if they learned it from their mother. I've had 20-something cats in my life, and I've never seen this. The pawing motion almost looks like it could be involuntary. What are they doing?
- Although we give our cat Samson lots of attention, he constantly wants to play with us. He will bring us a toy and meow, meow, meow. He becomes obsessive with any new toy or plaything (right now it's a long piece of heavy string, which he carries to us wherever we are in the house). We play with him many times during the day. We have even taken him into the hallway of our apartment building and played chase or catch, hoping to tire him out. We end up tired but he still wants to play! We have another cat whom he also plays with, but that cat is happier sleeping or cuddling. We love Samson, but he's driving us crazy. He only doesn't bother us when we're sleeping or when he's sleeping. Is he bored, unhappy, sick, or what?
- I have two cats now and have always had cats growing up. I've always given my cats catnip, usually sprinkling it on the scratching post. The little cat I just adopted tries to eat it instead of rub around in it like all the rest of the cats I have had. Is this normal, and does it harm the kitten in anyway to eat it?
- I have two female cats that I have had since they were kittens; both have been fixed and front-declawed. Within the past month they have been doing some serious cat fighting. I have never seen this kind of behavior before. They are very loud and it is scary to see them fighting this way. The first few times that this happened, the next day they seemed OK with each other and went on playing, but not this last time. It has been two days and the older cat will not be around the younger one. Right now, the older cat will not come out of our bathroom unless our bedroom door is closed. We have even tried putting the younger one in another room and shutting the door, but the older has come out once and seemed scared, and she runs right back to the bathroom. Also, there is a stray male kitten that been at our house since early October. I didn't think he was the problem, since he was outside for over a month before this happened. But I am not really sure about it. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I am willing to help them in any way in order to keep them both.
- I have a five-year-old neutered male housecat, and for as long as I've had him, I've noticed that when he gets excited (before feedings, while playing, if he sees his treats, etc), his tail will stick straight up and move back and forth very fast. It almost looks as though it's vibrating. I had assumed this was something to do with his being a male, or maybe something to do with a spraying tendency. He has never sprayed though. Anyway, my aunt recently adopted a six-month-old female kitten from the pound. This kitten hasn't been spayed yet, and we have noticed that she will often walk around the house with her tail straight up and moving it back and forth very fast. So I was just wondering what this means?
- I have a female three-year-old tortoiseshell cat, Muffin. She is healthy and a loving cat, but when we get the ironing board and the iron out, she runs and hides and won't come out for food or water. She will even run if she sees these two items around when they are not in use. She's only just now come out of hiding from the ironing being done yesterday! Can you suggest anything that would help? Our other cats are not scared in this way. She's also scared of the vacuum cleaner, but does not hide like she does with the ironing board. It is really upsetting to us to see her so scared.
- My new six-month-old kitten uses the litter box. However, she does not cover up her urine or feces. What can I do to teach her how?
- I have a full-grown domestic shorthair named Kirby who is very interested in watching the birds from a sliding glass kitchen door. He makes no effort to sneak up on them as if he were stalking, but watches intently. When a bird gets close enough to the door, he will "talk" to it by making very strange noises at it. His eyes never leave the bird and he cannot be distracted. His lower jaw moves up and down rapidly about half an inch and he makes a soft murmuring "ack-ack-ack-ack-ack" or a slightly higher "chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp." One might think by the sound that he was actually a bird! He does lower his body to a crouch, but does not do the "butt wiggle" as if he's about to pounce. It's almost as if he's trying to lure them in by making bird noises. What is he trying to do?
- I have two cats, Bailey (3 years) and Smokey (1 year). I also have a dog, Maddie. I feed Bailey and Smokey in the same room, but Maddie in another room. My problem is that Maddie eats most of the cat food, and whatever is left Smokey eats. Bailey is very passive, so she never gets any food whatsoever. I'm afraid she'll eventually starve, but there's nothing I can do to prevent the dog from eating the food. Maddie doesn't listen when I scold her and there's nowhere I can lock her up. How do I make sure Bailey doesn't starve?
- We have a male cat who is about 10 months old. We let him play in the backyard, and recently a big black cat started coming to our yard every night around 7pm. I saw them murmur to each other and sometimes I observed that our little cat's tail becomes big and thick when he is with this other cat. The strange thing is when we try to get the black cat to leave, the black cat becomes defensive and won't leave, even if we try to scare him away. The black cat is very firm and even makes fighting sounds when we try to get him to leave. What should we do? We really care about our cat and we want him to have playmates, but we also don't want him to be threatened by other cats. How can we tell if our cat is OK?
- I don't understand my daughter's cat. One minute he can be as sweet as pie and the next minute he will try to rip your arm off. And he doesn't like to be brushed. He doesn't like to get his nails cut. He will draw blood. And he doesn't like taking his hairball medicine. I don't know if it has to do with what type of breed he is. I am trying to figure out this cat. If we were to give him to someone, we are afraid that they would hurt him because of the way he acts at times. If you have any ideas on how I can figure out what breed of cat he is, maybe that might explain what he does.
- My husband and I have two cats, Nala (female, five years old, spayed) and Mo (male, four years old, neutered). Mo came to our house as a little kitten and Nala was already there. When he was little, Nala used to groom him and love him, but as he grew older he started attacking Nala at her neck, (even though he had been neutered already) and takes hair off her body. She just runs away and cries but won't attack back or defend herself. When we are around we protect her, but if Mo is there she cannot go anywhere on her own because he would attack her. When we leave they have to be left in different parts of the house, or else Mo will attack Nala and won't let her eat or go to the bathroom. When Mo is sleeping or outside on a walk she still looks around and is nervous of walking around. When we see he is going after her, we get behind him so we can protect Nala. Can we still solve this problem? How can we help Mo be nice to Nala so that if we are not around she won't be threatened? How can we make them get along?
- Our six-month-old female has bonded with me very well. The problem is she licks my face, neck, hands or any part of my body that is exposed. I don't mind her licking me at times, but she goes on and on until I have to put my hands over my face -- when I do that, she licks my hands. Sometimes I can tolerate it, sometimes not. I feel that she is showing me affection, or is it that she needs another cat to lick and clean? Sometimes she wakes me up by licking my face. I would appreciate some advice from you so I can understand why she's doing this, and also how can I break her of this habit when it's done so often. I don't mind once in awhile, but this is a daily regime with her. Guess that's why I love her? Wonderful cat otherwise!
- I have three cats -- a one-year-old named Kisses, a 7.5-month-old kitten named Candie and another 6.5-month-old kitten named Malibu. Kisses' brother, Cupcake, just recently passed away. Kisses meows and carries a frog toy that Cupcake always played with. She also tries to take care of the other two kittens. What is Kisses doing when she meows with the toy in her mouth? Is that normal?
- I need help! I adopted two kittens in late August and kept them "quarantined" for two and a half weeks. The first week I kept the door closed to the room they were in, and then the second week and a half I had the door cracked open a bit for them to see out and for my 16-year-old cat to see in. I thought I was doing everything right, but my older cat, Jordan, continuously charges (just a few steps) and then swats at the kittens! They'll just be sitting there, Jordan will walk by them, and then she'll just decide to swat at them. I don't believe she's made contact with them yet, but I'm worried, since it's been three weeks of swatting. How many more weeks before I should consult a professional about her behavior?
- Our kitten was only five weeks old when we rescued him. He went through the weaning process just fine, but at the age of three months he started suckling at our ears at night and does not go to sleep at night without it. The process begins again in the morning when he wakes up. He is very adamant about this. Is this normal behavior?
- Sometimes, for no apparent reason, our five-year-old neutered cat will howl at the top of his lungs. Often he does this in the morning. I will be upstairs eating breakfast and he will go downstairs and howl. I thought maybe he wanted his litter cleaned, but we clean it often and a few times we've cleaned it the night before, but he still howls in the morning. I've tried giving him more food or water, even treats, but he still continues to do it. Sometimes when we are in the basement, he will go upstairs and do the same thing -- howl. I'm not sure if he's trying to get the dog's attention or ours, but we've tried everything. He seems fine when we go to see what he wants -- he's happy, his tail is up and he's happy to see us. I'm not sure if something is wrong or not, but he seems happy. Any advice? Is my cat just weird?
- I am a first-time cat owner -- I have owned dogs all my life. But when my last dog passed away and I moved into a new house, I thought it would be cruel to own a dog with such a small yard. So I have an 18-month-old female cat (I've had her since she was two months old). She's been a very good companion for me, but the one thing I find very strange is that she likes to lie on top of me when I'm in bed or lying down on the couch. Why does she like to do this?
- We have adopted our neighbor's cat, who has lived outside most of his life. He is seven years old. We live in a pretty mild climate but want him in for the winter months, especially at night when it's cooler. We hope eventually we can get him to stay inside most of the time. We have two female cats who are inside cats and all three have met and get along nicely. Lately, I have started to bring him in the house at night, if I can catch him. He has cried at the door, but I try to distract him and we can usually get through the night. He seems very comfortable with all of us, he sleeps on the bed and is very affectionate. Every morning he cries at the door and wants out. So far we have been taking this slow, just trying to get him used to being in at night. Do you have any other suggestions on what more we can do to get him used to living inside?
- My wife got me a cat for a Christmas present last year. Wagner is a very loyal cat. She loves me and sits and plays with me, but when my wife tries to show affection toward her, she runs away or jumps on the floor and just acts like my wife is the worst thing in the world. My wife has never been hostile toward her -- Wagner just likes me more. It appears that she likes men better than women. Can this be true? Can the cat be jealous of my wife? If so, what can I do to ease the tension between Wagner and my wife?
- I have two male cats. We just moved into our first house. We have previously lived in two apartments (two years each). The problem I have been having with one of the cats is the ceiling fans. He will not go in the room when the ceiling fan is on. If it is off, he will look up, hesitate and decide whether or not he wants to come in the room. We had ceiling fans in the apartment and he was the same way. Nothing has happened to him that involves any kind of fan. The fan does not make any type of noise. He used to sleep in the bed with us, but now that the ceiling fan is in the bedroom and is on often, he no longer will lie in the bed. Do you have any idea as to what the problem may be?
- I have a female kitten who is almost five months of age. Recently, we have discovered that three of our phones were not working. We found by close examination that our cat has been chewing on all of our cords, but more specifically the phone cords are her favorite. My husband and I both work, so catching her in the act is nearly impossible. She has plenty of toys to play with so I don't think that she is lacking in the fun department. I have thought maybe it is a vitamin deficiency, but we feed her a balanced and healthy diet. I hope you can help us. I am concerned that she will next move onto our new computer... not to mention the hazard that it creates for her and us.
- My cat is a calico, one year old, who came to me as a stray kitten. I leave dry food out for her all the time. She wants me to stand by her while she eats. If I don't, then she will get between my feet and walk ahead of me, looking back to see if I am following her. It's like she's part sheep dog. She is very skillful, too. If I do not follow her to her dish, then she will come bite my foot. I have done some strange things to try and resolve this. I put stuffed animals around her dish and even a picture of myself. My biggest fear is that she is going to trip us or, since, we have stepped on her accidentally, that we might break her leg. Her eating area has become her territory (my guess), but why does she need someone with her? My vet said he thought I was her littermate, but she's that way with anyone who's up and walking. I have found no explanation for my cat's eating behavior. Please help.
