I seen an ad in the paper today saying.
Any one need a cat, I have plenty come take mine and save my marriage!
How many of you know cat ladies around your neighborhood?
Answers:
thats a funny ad! cat lady- thats my goal.
I know of dog ladies.
Haha, it was probably a bit of a joke, she may not have that many cats, but apparently, she has more than her husband agrees with.
I know a local cat lady, but not in the sense that she has too many cats. She fosters for a local rescue, and she does feral cat spay/neuter projects.
Among the people I know, I'm the cat lady. I have three but that's my limit.
Cats protection volunteers are often 'cat ladies'. I have three of my own, and one foster-kit, a cross-eyed tortie...
No joke, my friend ended up in the Daily Star because of her 17 cats. AND then they read it out on the Big Breakfast! Then when I got to work and mentioned I was going to pick up my adopted cat, my colleagues took the mickey and said "Be careful, you'll end up like that woman in the paper!" They were gobsmacked when I told them that the woman in the paper was my mate, hahaha
Yes. There is a lady here who has a cat farm. She's got a tall mesh fence that covers her 20 acres. She has kitty aviaries, that are stock full of everything a kitty could ever want. People can come adopt them, but it is really more like a retirement home for kitties. She is a retired vet, so she spays and neuters them herself. The town donates litter, food, etc. She's got hundreds of cats.
My mothers work collage has about 13 cats shes marrid and everything but just has a soft spot for abandoned animals! I'll become a mad cat lady no doubt oneday its not all bad :)
I am the local cat lady. you can't possibly be a cat lady if you're married though, we're generally single and socially inept
There's a lady near us who has sort of an unofficial cat shelter going, I have donated unwanted food to her before. We unfortunately have a population of feral cats around here and she has carriers without doors on them for the cats to sleep in, litter boxes and food for them, all outdoors at the back of her house. She has her own pet cats which stay indoors.She doesn't let the feral cats indoors and as far as I know she doesn't take them for shots or anything. She's an older lady on a limited budget but she does what she can.
I can see myself doing this later in my life, but not as long as my husband is around. I'm lucky to have the two cats I already own, he's not a cat lover but he loves me so he tolerates it:)
I've been called a cat lady before :) I only have 4 though.
My aunt is an animal rights activist and she rescues animal, takes them to the vet to get fixed up and cares for them. Right now she has 5 kittens she has nursed back to health and is stuck with 3 of them. She is having a hard time finding homes for them. She already had 5 before she brought in the kittens. She takes great care of all of them too.
I would have said in the ad, "Any one need a husband? I have one, come take mine and save my cats!"
Men can be replaced but cats are forever!
My neighbors have a feral cat colony living in their backyard (that sometimes migrates to the front, and then across the street to my yard)... there's like 30 of them.
I've been trapping them and getting them spayed/neutered then re-releasing them...
everyone says I'M the cat lady--I have 2 of my own, but in the past month have had 10 fosters in and out! now a momma and 5 babies (from the feral colony!)
ahhhh!!! LOL
theres loads ere!
d only fing is i reakon im gna b 1 of them wen im old n av gon crazy!
Im trying to become a mad old cat lady like on the simpsons, but at the moment i only have 2 cats and i am only 25, so i have a bit of work to do!
My boyf is fed up of the kitty cats, but i warned him never to make me choose between them as he wont like the answer (especially as i have had him for 5 years, and the cats for 1 year...)

A cat got under my house and died when the temp outside was 102 now I can't get the smell out of my house?
Answers:
well get the dead cat outta there and try using a lot of fabreeze and if you can try to take a foot of soil out where it was and daily use fabreeze
maybe that would work
just remember to eliminate the source altogether buy getting rid of the cat and some soil in its spot
cause soil can hold smell for some time
You poor thing to get the smell out you may need alot of spray botteles!!!
Did you get rid of the cat?
Perhaps you should burn a lot of incense, it'll go in a week.
cook lots of bacon and use some air fresheners but make sure u get rid of the dead body
Honestly, I would call in a professional- it is really difficult to remove all odors. There is a great product called Pet Peeeve, but it really is meant for carpet and fabrics. If I was you, I would spend the money and call an exterminator or a professional cleaning company. It might be expensive, but you do want to get rid of the smell completely and asap!
Hi, I used a carpet powder with the smell of cinnamon to get rid of skunk smell in my house. It was the only thing that worked. Good luck.
A Bald Spot?
My cat had an over-active scent gland in his tail, which caused a cyst to develope on his tail. We took him to the vet and he gave us some medication to give him. He also told us to get him fixed. We have done everything he told us to and the cyst has cleared up, the only problem is he has a huge bald spot on his tail. I was wondering is there anything I can do to promote hair growth, or will his tail be like that for the rest of his life?
Answers:
It takes hair two months to grow back to normal length, so time is what'll let you know. You should see some short hair growth within 2 weeks, but expect a two month time before it's all back to normal.
Give it some time it should grow back if you see no hair growth in about three weeks I'd take it back to the vet.
It's a very odd thing, but cats, when they are wounded, always seem to spontaneously shed the hair at the site of the wound. It must have something to do with aiding in the healing process.Your kitty's hair will grow back eventually...
It's possible that your cat's hair will grow back over time but if you want you can get medication from the vet to encourage hair growth. but if you do that i would just try and see if you can get a small amount first just to see if once the hair grows in from the meds once you stop the meds it stays in. because for one of that cats we had once they got a bald spot near the tail we gave them meds to grow hair and while we were feeding the cat the med the hair stayed in place but as soon as we stopped feeding him the med the hair fell out again so we decided to not give him the med anymore because it was expensive and he just had like this horseshoe area around the tail that was bald.
The fur should grow back without your interference!
It will grow back don't worry.

A 6 week old kitten...?
I have a six week old kitten, when should
I bathe it, what should I use and how should I do it.
Answers:
Cats don't really require bathing, that is something that their mommy usually does for them. When they're old enough, they do it themselves.
If, for some reason, the kitten gets dirty enough to warrant a bath, then do a good wipe-down with a washcloth and a mild pet shampoo (look at your pet store and read the label for age limitations that may apply).
you dont need to bathe it. its a cat they do that all on their own. even as kittens. bathing a kitten could scare it. i know my little cousin kept getting my kitten wet when she was about 6 weeks old and now she's even more afraid of water than any other cat i've had. so dont worry about it, it'll take care of itself
we never bathed our kitten...cats hate water, and they clean themselves ne ways...
most cats are always clean and if not get clean in the rain
u really don't need to bathe a cat. they pretty much do that themselves. if u notice it getting really dirty.. ask that same question to the vet. good luck! xoxo
dawn the dish soap would be the best thing for the kitten. The shampoos that humans use are worse for it. The dawn also helps kill fleas too, but it won't kill the eggs under the skin so I would recommend advantage, which is a flea preventative-it's safe to use on a kitten of that age. And you can bathe your new kitty at any time. but no more than like a once a month. Good luck!

9 Year old Siamese Losing weight.?
My 9 year old Siamese seems to be losing weight, muscle in his rear legs. His chest area seems still to be broad...His character is till the same and doesn't seem to be pained. He does at times seem to be constipated.Any ideas?
Answers:
Weight loss is common in aging cats for a variety of reasons: hyperthyroid, diabetes, kidney dysfunction. When specifically losing condition in the rear, arthritis, associated nerve damage, and hip injury are also suspect.
The best thing you can do is have your cat examined by your vet, blood and urine analysis should also be included, and get a diagnosis. Some of the above conditions are easily treatable (hyperthyroid and arthritis), some are not so easy, but are still treatable (such as diabetes, kidney disease, and nerve damage)

9 Year old cat has a paw that makes cracking noise.?
Just in the last 6 months my cat has some cracking noise coming from one of her paws or something. I can hear her coming and know it's her because of the noise. I have another cat too. I had her at the vet and he didn't seem to have any idea. He thought maybe it was her claws making a noise on the floor but that's not it since it's on carpet also. It sounds like when someone cracks there knuckles.
What could this be? Does it sound like a problem? It seems to be getting louder.
Answers:
Since you have already gone to the vet (Your are SMART OWNER) and they dont think its a problem than maybe its not? Im not sure why they wouldnt think anything of it. The cat is getting older and when humans get older there joints crackle. It could be artheritis. I say take her to the vet again and ask for an X-RAY, if they dont see anything and your cat is in no pain than leave it? But if any changes occur write them down and put a tensor bandage on it, then bring it into the vet.
go to the vet and find out
If the vet didn't have a solution, I recommend getting a second opinion, just to be safe. If it is arthritis, there's not much you can do for it. An herbalist can recommend some good supplements that would be safe for her that might ease her discomfort. Is she limping? If the vet looked at her paw, I assume there's nothing stuck between the pads.
If she does have arthritis, don't go with any veterinary painkillers, they're not real safe for cats (they're okay for dogs, though). I would only do veterinary painkillers on a cat with arthritis if she was very old and I wanted to make her last few months comfortable. At nine, she's still a spring chicken!
Good luck sweetie, I hope you find the answer you're looking for.
