Daphne Reid (60)    
Daphne Reid  
There are many causes of unusual discharge from the eyes - nearly every opthamological problem in cats causes the eyes to water, and without a physical examination it is impossible to be specific. Let's take a look at some of the common causes of watery eyes in cats.

Dave Kanofsky (3) 
Have you ever considered toilet training cats ? I know what you mean. For the longest time I never thought I'd be able to train my cat to use the toilet.
Fear not. It can be done . Cat's can and do learn behavioral changes. But, the process should be slow and gradual.

How Many Cats is Too Man -
 - Pat Lemmons (206)
I love the notion that "cats are like potato chips, you can't have just one". From the playful kitten, which is the epitome of "cute", to the adult cat, that is the ultimate in beauty, prowess and "cool". How many you have depends on several factors.
How many can you afford to feed?

Somewhere in my archives is the story of how Jackson the cat came to live with my family. The story is called; a cardboard box for a home' for all those interested in looking.

James Redstone (830) 
James Redstone
Domestic cats first came about in Egypt around 4000 B.C. The Egyptians had to store their grain, but rodents would get into the stores. . The nearby wildcats, not afraid of humans, saw this as an easy chance for food. Gradually, the Egyptians realized that these wildcats protected their... ( added 4 years 168 days ago.) |

Jon Searles (2,087) 
Jon Searles
Recently, our cat, PK passed away from feline lymphoma. PK (short for Pretty Kitty) was a member of our family for 11 years. She was a temperamental animal who only seemed to love my wife and daughter and tolerated my sons and me.
We have always had animals as part of our lives. We currently... ( added 1 year 186 days ago.) |
Murphy the Cat: Remembering a Best Friend -
Mike Fak (5,634)
Mike Fak
When readers drop me notes or call me about something, I make a little note on the old floppy disk. Eventually enough information or common remarks from many of you cause me to try to render your thoughts into a coherent article. One of these days I hope I do one. My file on pets and pet stories...

Tillie The Cat, To The Rescue -
- Joel Hendon (18,637)   
Joel Hendon
Those readers who may have read an earlier article of mine, Mitchell Hendon (1994-2009) My Final Dog, are aware of the loss of my little Rat Terrier. In the article, I did not mention the fact that we lost our cat about the same time. I did not mention him simply because he was pretty worthless... ( added 45 days 18 hours ago.) |
Cats Go Well With a Little Garlic -
Steve Kovacs (4,119)  
Steve Kovacs
I never liked cats. I did not hate them but I thought they were aloof, unfriendly, and simply did not like people. I'd jokingly say when asked if I liked the little critters, "yeah, I like cats, they go well with a little garlic", joking they'd be a good meal with the right spice.
About 10... ( added 196 days 3 hours ago.) |
How to Get a Cat Out of a Tree -
Terry Mitchell (5,358)  
Terry Mitchell
Traditionally thought of as a lazy-day activity for firefighters, rescuing a house cat that somehow winds up trapped in a tall tree presents quite a task for the uninitiated. By nature, cats are timid, instinctual creatures who quite intelligently treat anything unfamiliar as a threat.

Midnight Bandits And My Cat Spike! -
- Bob Alexander (2,053) 
Bob Alexander
My cat Spike was mad! He is used to eating breakfast around 7:00 a.m., but I didn't awake until almost 8:00. I heard his meowing in the garage and from the sound I knew he was still in his bed, but complaining that breakfast had not been served! He gets loud when he's not fed his Meow Mix on...

My Angel Cat -
- Dianne Lehmann (5,738) 
Dianne Lehmann
The first cat that Bernd and I had came from the local humane society. She was a scrawny little thing all feet and eyes and ears. She had been found in a dumpster. The people who found her were alerted to her presence by her sad, almost undetectable meowing. We took her home, one day before she... ( added 1 year 20 days ago.) |
Sifu Cat -
- Dianne Lehmann (5,738)
Dianne Lehmann
For some that might conjure up an image of a cat wearing a Gi and striking a martial arts pose with a look of utter concentration on its face. Well, it does that for me, anyway. Its belt is black and its claws are extended in a don't-mess-with-me kind of manner. When my husband and I were... ( added 1 year 45 days ago.) |
Our Cat, Winnie, is a Lesson in Accepting What Is -
- Dianne Lehmann (5,738)
Dianne Lehmann
Winnie is a feral cat. That means she was born in the wild and grew up too much in the wild to ever be completely tame. What makes a cat (or any animal) domestic is that humans are in control of its genes. That is not so for feral cats. A lot of the local feral cats have some bobcat genes in them...

Tips On Buying A Used Cat! -
- Bob Alexander (2,053)
Bob Alexander
My cat Spike was previously owned, but in good condition. He wasn't shaking or throwing up on the floor or having some kind of a fit. For a cat in an animal shelter he seemed to be in pretty good shape! The animal services people said that he was available for adoption which made me wonder if the... ( added 1 year 188 days ago.) |
My Cat Lets Me Share His Castle -
Hannah Quinn (18,293)  
Hannah Quinn
Leo is big, long-haired and aptly named - definitely the
King.
The vet has this comment on Leo's record: Big, wild tom.
Big? Yes. He has such a muscular chest that his front legs bow out a little and
he always looks like he is stalking. He walks like a lion - and he's the colour
of a... ( added 1 year 197 days ago.) |
Cat Training in Ten Minutes - Handling Your Cat -
- Kimberly Mission (32)
Adopting
a kitten or cat is a wonderful and exciting occasion. But, adding a cat to your family involves
much more than simply bringing it home.
You must learn to take care of it daily in a safe fashion. Feline care is mostly common-sense, and
doesn't take much time. In fact, I can

Why Do Cats Do What Cats Do? -
- Bob Alexander (2,053)
Bob Alexander
Waking up my cat Spike, especially in the evening when he's been asleep in his box in the garage, is not a very wise thing to do if it's my bedtime. After having slept most of the day, he's full of energy and wants to play. I just want to go to sleep!
Each night I tip-toe past the door leading... ( added 1 year 265 days ago.) |
How My Cat Saved My Life -
Aphrodite Matsakis (147) 
Aphrodite Matsakis
One Sunday morning Kitty sat by the sliding glass door to the patio, waiting for the doorman (me) to open it so she could go play on the patio. When I didn't come instantly, she began meowing her "Hurry up! Can't you see I'm waiting for you?" meow. I tried to stall her because letting her out... ( added 1 year 272 days ago.) |
More Raccoons And My Cat Spike! -
- Bob Alexander (2,053)
Bob Alexander
Spike is a pre-owned cat. When we got him from the humane society in their adopt-a-pet program, his name was Lonnie. I couldn't in good conscience continue to use that name for a cat, so I renamed him Spike. I know that seems more appropriate for a dog, but I think Spike has always appreciated...

Spike's Lost The Raccoon War! -
- Bob Alexander (2,053)
Bob Alexander
"If you let one of those critters in the house again, you'll sleep out there with them," my wife exclaimed as she slammed the door to the garage. She was talking about the pair of young raccoons that visit our garage each night and eat our cat's food out of his dish.
Last year, with a... ( added 2 years 51 days ago.) |
Allergies in Cats - The Basics -
Donovan Baldwin (3,126)
Just like humans a common health problem in cats is allergy. It's strange that we always worry about humans being allergic to cats, but so seldom hear about what cats are allergic to!
In this way, cats aren't that much different from humans. Some foreign substance, commonly referred to as an... ( added 2 years 270 days ago.) |

You love your cats for the companionship that they
provide. A sympathetic ear, great
listening skills, and boundless affection are all great side benefits of cat

Let me give you some advice that can potentially stop your cat from ever biting you again.
Picture this :
You're relaxing on the couch, deeply involved in your favorite book or TV show, when your cat strolls across the top of the couch and rubs against you, wanting attention.

Can Cats and Dogs Live Together As Friends? -
- Larry Chamberlain (2,847)
Can cats and dogs live together without constantly being at war? It seems that they very often can.
We often hear people declare themselves to be a "cat person" or a "dog
person", but browsing through the various pet forums it appears that
there are many of us who equally like both cats... ( added 3 years 78 days ago.) |
