What should one do if their cat or kitten vomits? Is it cause to see a vet? Should you wait to see if it happens more than once? One of our little guys got sick this morning but otherwise . . .

Does anyone have a specific brand of kitty water fountain they can recommend? I've seen electric water bowls that recirculate the water so there's a constant stream of water for cats . . .

By now many of you know that our little guy Rusty needs tail surgery. Rusty was born with a stubby bobtail, but without the muscles to control it. This means he can't move it out . . .

Rusty, our kitten who had most of his tail amputated last week for medical reasons, has been recovering nicely. He went back to the vet for a check-up today. He's still got to be on antibiotics . . .

One of our kitties is grey and white. Recently, I noticed when brushing him that he has what looks like dandruff. It seemed to get worse the more I brushed. It could be from a variety . . .

A few days after (finally) removing Rusty's cone, when he was completely healed from his tail surgery, Tom and I noticed, to our horror, two bald patches on our furry little guy. One was on his . . .

On one of Rusty's many recent vet visits, the vet expressed concern over how much weight he'd put on recently. He and the technician suggested that we try putting rusty on a "Catkins" . . .

Our Rusty is acting a bit strange recently. He has a special "sad meow" that melts your heart when you hear it. Usually he reserves this for waking us up in the morning when he wants . . .

How often does everyone clean their kittie's ears? I have one cat that almost never needs his ears cleaned, and another one who almost always has visible ear wax. Besides it looking gross, . . .

The other day I caught my six month old kitten trying to put his claw in the electrical socket! Luckily I caught him and distracted him before he got hurt--I had no idea cats would do this! . . .

If your kitties share the bed with you, do they sleep on top of the covers, or underneath them? One of our kittens sometimes likes to sleep completely under the covers, by our feet. This is OK with me, . . .

Has anyone tried the Pet Groom Pro ionic cleaning brush for dogs and cats? I just found one at CVS for $10 and thought about buying it for my kitties. They don't really like their current . . .
