This shirt is on the fourth page of that url but you'll probably end up looking at some of the others too :-)

TWO questions

1. How much (dry) food should an average cat get fed a day?

2. Are there different automatic litterboxes? If so which one is best? (Are there certain features to look for?)

The amount of dry food varies greatly by what type. Most should have a chart on the bag based on the cats weight (and sometimes age - especially for kittens). For example my old 10-12 lb adult cat got barely 1/2 cup of Iams "less active cat" food. On the other hand, my 7 month kittens both eat quite a bit more than 1/2 cup each of kitten food per day. (plus, I usually give my kitties a few treats each day...)

I've always just let my cats free-feed on dry food. At one point I measured her food for 3 months and she never completed a half cup a day. I did this when she was being treated for diabetes, which she doesn't have any longer.

Hi guys, I have a question. My female cat started spotting a week or so ago. She isn't spayed. The doctor said she was too old for it. She never spotted before when she was in heat. We didn't think too much of it.

Tonight, there is a large spot on our sheet and when we looked at her, her vaginal area has blood on it. Of course, we're going to call the vet but I was wondering if anyone has had this happen and what it could be. Thanks

Perhaps she has a hysterectomy in her future.

Ophiliasgrandma, you are so right. My kitty is going in in 45 minutes to get a hysterectomy. I took her yesterday and the vet said the same thing. I wish we would have just went ahead and fixed her when we wanted to and not listen to the vet saying she was too old because now she is older and going through this.

I am just thrilled that it is treatable. I was expecting the worst.

Fabs, let us know!!

I waited on one of my labs.. she of course wasn't spayed while she was being shown to her chammpionship or when she was bred.. but once I decided she wouldn't be bred again, I should have managed to have her spayed right then.

She ended up with pyometria and very luckily for her and us, my (long ex-) husband was very observant, and she did "leak" (often the uterus ruptures inside, with fatal results) and he was alert and got her right to the vet. It was touch and go for her but thankfully she survived and lived for a long long time.. (she was 15.5)

Your kitty will hopefully be fine and "light" and purring very very soon.

Thanks for the kind words, seamonkey. I am glad to hear your lab had great results with surgery too.

Mama is back at home after her surgery. It went well but the doctor found a tumor while she was in there and tried to remove it all but couldn't get it all. She is sending it to the lab to see if it is cancerous. Of course, I am freaking out. It would just suck for her to go through all that , only to have to go through another slew of crap.

She has eaten alot, which is good because it is the only possible way she takes pills from us. I kept her away from the other cats all night but now she is out and about. She is very cuddly. It always amazes me how animals seem truly grateful after something like this.

We should get test results next week. I'll keep you posted.

Mama

Hugs to you too, Fabnsab.

I hope I read that correctly and "Mama" really is your kitty's name!

fabs, keeping your kitty in my prayers!

ok cat people, i have a question. a lady that i work with has himalayans, a girl and a boy...she wants kittens, and says the girl cat goes into heat and the boy one doesn't know "what to do" and just looks at her like "what the heck?". we thought it was just insticts for cats to know how to "do it". so to speak? have any of you ever ran across this before. the whole situation cracks me up, of course assuming nothing is wrong with either cat. the male is just over a year old, and the female is about 6. they are beautiful cats.

You know, those cats have tons of hair and it is rather hard to see the 'important' bits. Perhaps he was neutered before she got him. It would be worth a bit of a feel to see if his ammo pouch is loaded.

Kitty,

You have been by my side for more years than I can remember. Never a moment when I didn't know exactly where you were, whether it was in the closet, under the bed, or on my lap. And now that you aren't here with me, I feel like something is missing.

I would look into your eyes and tell you, "Always me and you!", for no matter what was going on in my life, you were the one constant thing I could always count on. People would come and go and you and I went through more addresses than a mail carrier, but we were always together.

I have had to let you go and it is ripping my heart out. I know you are in a better place and are whole again and my brain tells me to be happy about that. It's my heart that won't listen.

I miss you, my sweet Kitty. Always me and you.
