Cat Problems(Yes another cat topic :P)

some reason, if you neuter female cats really young sometimes they do that, my neighbours cat is female, and she acts like the dominant male in the house, scent everywhere and spraying too, our cats not that bad because we were warned and waited until she was a decent age before doing so *even though it was a few sleepless times because of that*

Well,I haven't notice crystals,but then my mom cleans the litterbox.

Carbon copy is neutered but Callie isn't.

So is 5 a Seinor?

I wouldn't consider 5 a senior.

Cat's have different aging "systems" than we as humans are used to. Over the first 12 months of their lives, they go from what we'd consider infant to about 20 years. After that, for the next 7 years or so, their physical age remains in what humans would consider 20-39. At 8, their aging speeds up again, and by the time they're 12, it's the equivalent of being about 65.

Dogs are the same way, but go through adulthood a little bit faster, and tend to die a little younger than cats.

my 1 year old cat has congenital kidney faliure, and/or a type of diabeties called diabeties insipitus(sp?). The thing that made us notice was him peeing alot and that he drank alot of water...

Of course, if your cat is anal like mine, then it could be that the litter box isn't clean enough for him, and he's refusing to use it?
