Cat Chat with ASPCA Expert -- TODAY!
Why does my cat purr in my arms one second and swipe at me the next?Will my kitten ever realize he can’t get to the birds he sees from our window?
I fell in love with a cat at our local shelter who seemed to shun everyone but me. Will she like my kids, too?
Anyone who lives with a cat—or wants to—knows how quirky felines can be. Kitties have minds of their own, but that’s why we love them. Here to help us decode these quizzical creatures is the ASPCA’s Dr. Emily Weiss, who will join us for a live online chat today from noon to 2:00 P.M. She’ll be standing by to answer all of your questions about why cats relate to humans, dogs, each other and the world at large the way they do.
Dr. Weiss is the ASPCA’s Senior Director of Shelter Behavior Programs and the developer of Feline-ality™, the first research-based adoption program for cats in shelters. To join our chat this afternoon and ask Dr. Weiss all about feline relationships, visit our community forums at www.aspca.org/community. Please note, you’ll need to sign up (it takes seconds), if you haven’t already.

I have a beautiful Scottish Fold with an awful hairball problem. I feed him hairball formula but it doesn't seem to help. He's already been to the vet for a hairball blockage in his digestive tract and we barely avoided surgery. Any suggestions?
I Have three cats and they are all characters!!!

I have 5 cats , 2 of them have extremely long hair. I have found 2 remedies for the furball problem. I use the oil from tuna , I drizzle it over their food twice a month and I also apply vaseline to their noses twice a month. Believe it or not these 2 things have worked for them. Try it!!!!
my daughter has a kitten but the kitten like me more how do i tell her why?
