QUESTIONS TO THE CAT EXPERTS:

Hi,I have 2 kittens,a friend of mine had a cat that mated with a stray,the kittens were born under the house and there they stayed,not having any human contact.I didnt want them to turn ferel so I brought them home as there were only 2 in the litter,I wanted to keep them together.My problem is I dont know how to tell the sex of them.I dont really want to go tipping them upside down to look as they are still getting used to me.The other thing is they are suppose to be 9wks old but I am really sure they are older than that,as they look smaller than an adult but they dont look like a little kitten does.How old should they be before they can stop eating specially made kitten food.Anything you can tell me will be helpfull .Thank you Jan 16
What are the effects of having a cat declawed? Jan 15
I dont know what is wrong with my cat. It was fine a couple days ago but now it can barely even walk. When i set it down, it falls over and tries to get up and walk but it walks very slowly and almost falls. And usually it would meow all the time, loudly, but now it wont meow or play. And when it does meow, its very quiet and scratchy. What's wrong with it? Jan 14
My cat shivers quite frequent;y and i was wondering if it could be because she was cold. i don't think its because she is scared because she will do it when she is happy and content. what could she be shaking from? Jan 14
I think my cat got shot by a bullit that ricashayed off of something else first, and it's just under the skin in the muscle. It's been about 4 days now, and the wound(which is on his right side) seems a little infected and looks full of puss in and around it. I don't have the money for a vet, and he puts up a fight if I even try to look at the wound. So, I was thinking I could try and make him sleep so I can work on it and get the bullit out. But I'm not sure what to use for that since I don't have the money for stuff for cats, I was thinking Benadryl, which I have quick dissolve strips. His name is Tigger, and he's a small-medium sized cat that's indoor-outdoor. I was wondering if I could give Tigger Benadryl to help him sleep so I can care for the wound, and if so, how much? Jan 14
My cat starting acting very wierd today, he moves real slow and when you touch him, he growls. He has always been a fun happy cat. He won't eat nothing. What is the problem? Jan 14
I have a male cat that is 15 yrs old and has a problem with watery diarrhea. I need to know what I should do to help him. He doesn't want to eat, and has lost a lot of weight. I feed him moist food, as well as dry, but still has no appetite. I understand that a cat his age will start showing signs of his age, but he seems to be going down daily. I went to a local store and bought a vitamin that you spray on his food, but nothing has changed. He is dripping diarrhea constantly. His behind stays wet, and this makes the stool harden on him. Please help me and my son, Tick. Thank you, Larry & Tick Jan 14
Over a month ago I found three cats living under a storage shed behind a restaurant and am conflicted about "rescuing" them. I am leaning toward taking them to a local "no kill" sanctuary, but wanted an opinion on the following: 1) Given they may have never lived in captivity, would they actually prefer where they are now to living at the sanctuary (indoor cattery and large outdoor yard which they can go between at their discretion) or even a "nice" home? 2) Will trapping them with a humane trap and/or luring them into a cat carrier with food and taking them to the sanctuary where they will eventually be put with other cats traumatize them to a point that they will never be comfortable "in captivity" or with people? Some info on the cats: One cat is the most social with people and has been since the first week I found them. Not fully grown and loves to be pet and will follow me around and even jump into my car if the door is left open The second cat is the one I believe to be the mother of the other two and may have had a home at one time. She loves to rub up against my leg and be pet. Will eat right next to me, but is still a little jumpy at times. The third cat is not fully grown and will now let me pet his back two or three times prior to getting agitated. I don't know if he will ever enjoy human contact other than being fed and given water, but he has come a long way since I first encountered him. He would not let me touch him and the slightest of motion frightened him away. I would never consider leaving them outside in "horrible" conditions, but we live in a southern city which has moderate temperature and they live under a shed (with some towels and cat beds that I have managed to stuff under the shed.) They get scraps on a daily basis from the employees at the restaurant and they have been spayed/neutered by an organization here in town. Thanks for so much any advice you can provide! Cheryl Jan 14
