Did you know that there is no safe treatment for heartworm disease in cats?

Did you know giving a monthly preventative is the only way to protect your cat against this life threatening disease?

Did you know that indoor cats are just as at risk if not more than outdoor cats?

-As prevelant as Felv/Fiv
-signs include coughing,vomiting,gagging,weight loss
-Cats can be treated with prednisone but still face the risk of sudden death when a heartworm dies.
-Monthly preventative heartgard,interceptor,revolution and adavantage monthly are effective against heartworm disease.

This is not just another way for a vet to make money. It is a deadly disease that can be prevented.

My new boyfriend told me that people who own more than two cats are crazy. I don’t want him to think I’m crazy, so whenever he comes over, I sedate the other five cats and put them in a box. How often can I do this without harming them? And how can I prove to my boyfriend that people who own more than two cats are not crazy?
Yes, he is worth it. He’s very, very cute. And it’s not often that someone like him is interested in someone like me.

What are the most common places? I have been finding them on my dogs muzzle in the crack where the fur comes out. I have found about 2 so far, well about 3 this spring.

I have a 5.5 month old samoyed puppy. She is fairly well trained, although a bit stubborn, and plays very well with other dogs. She also loves all people. Next week we are going to a friend’s house for spring break (only staying one night) and they have two cats. One is a neutered male somewhere between 2 and 6 years old (I’m not sure), and the other is an unspayed female between 1 and 5 years old.
The only time my puppy has seen cats was at the vets office, when she saw them in crates recovering from operations. She barked and growled at them then, so I don’t know how she’ll respond to seeing a normal, alert cat. She does have a hunting instinct toward small animals (she’s killed a few mice in the backyard) but she is still friendly toward very small dogs. The cats have never lived with dogs. Can you please give me some tips on introducing the puppy to the cats? Thanks in advance.
I’d rather not keep them seperated because I eventually plan on getting a cat. Otherwise, thanks for the answers so far!

I have two cats one is 1 and a half the other is 7 weeks. They both have their own food in separte bowls, the problem is the kitten eats the adult cat food and the older one eats the the kitten chow. I dont want the older one to get fat and the kitten to not get the proper diet. How can I get them to eat their own food?

#1 Cards Fan? asked:


One of my cats hates the other two cats in our home. With humans, she is very loving and affectionate, but tries to beat the crap out of the other cats. Why is this? Is their anything I can do to help my cat get along with the other cats?

My tomcat and another cat were just out on my yard yowling at eachother and walking around. How do you tell if two cats are getting ready to mate, as opposed to just angry at each other?
