She's been sick for a while. She about five months old. All my cats got it but it finally went away except for Lillian. We went to PetMed and the vet there said she had an infection and that it would go away in time. It's been time. A lot of time and she's ceased to get better. She sneezes and she wakes up b/c she can't breathe out of her nose. Her eyes cake and her nose runs. Could she have distemper??

when i got my kitten she was 8 weeks old to the day. today she is almost 7 months old. she has this thing with nuzzling into my hair ,"sucking" on my neck and kneading her paws into my neck / shoulder while she does it. th begins the secondi get home from work and continues. no matter how much ipull her away she will try relentlessly until i give in. it eems to put he at ease as she purrs so loud whenshe does it. any suggestions on wht she does this and how i might get her to stop???

I love cats, but we can't have one inside because of my son's allergies/asthma. We have had two outside cats since January 2000. One was ran over and the other ran away. Solutions anyone?

my roommates and i have a cat about 7 months old. we were told it was a girl, but one of my roommates friends think otherwise. HELP! i don't know how to tell! i've always been a dog owner, and obviously its easier to tell the difference, but with cats its much more difficult. i tried looking on the internet, and the answers i received were vauge (sp?). is there any way i can tell the sex that is obvious? thanks for your help!

My cat Sam and I live with my boyfriend, his son, and his son's cat which happens to be his mother. I let Sam out during the warm weather with his mother. I just learned that his father hangs around the house also. Sam seems very happy. The problem is that I am looking to move out and am afraid of what this will do to Sam. He will not be able to go outside and the only person in the house will be myself. I will get a new kitten to keep him company. My concern is Sam. He will hurt alot and it hurts me that I have to put him through this. What should I do?

oops! We have a cat around 3-4 years old who pees on the walls......she was fixed at the usual age (12 weeks??) but seems to have developed an aversion to peeing in her litterbox. She has two litterboxes, and still uses the walls! She used to stand in the litterbox and pee outside it, so we got her one with a lid and a door, she peed out of the door! Now we use a rubbermaid type box with high walls, so she stopped even attempting to use it! Help!! We are at our wits end. We tried spray stuff from the pet store and as soon as we stopped using it, she started again.

I just got a new gray and white stripped kitten and she needs a name. She is a little puffball who is laid back but loves to play with string. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I also thought I'd submit a couple of cool links: I just bought a new Kitten video I saw advertised in Cat Fancy magazine, its called Kitten Kommotion. (Their Web site is http://www.kittenkommotion.com ) I thought others here might enjoy it as well. I liked the fact that they donate a percentage of the sales to animal shelters.

My Pretty Girl uses the litter box to urinates, but seems to like my dinning room rug to poop on. I clean her litter box daily, trying the clay and also the clump. Does any one have a tip on how to break her of this, she is 5 years old and has been doing this the last 6 months.
