Hello, I’m sorry if this message is repeated. I had a problem with the computer and then I wasn’t sure if I had made it up or not. I have a friend who has a stray cat that she picked up a while ago. The cat has been sick for a while and has had a few problems. Yesterday she found out that it has a bullet lodged in its head. Apparently it has always been there (since she found him). She doesn’t know what to do and is looking for help. Apparently they suggested not trying to take the bullet out. She wanted to consult a specialist, where should she go??? She is looking for a vet. hospital to take it to. This is a rare case from what she has been told. Please help. If you know of a hospital in the U.S. she can reach please respond. We appreciate your help Thank you
Response:
How about running the cat over to the nearest vet ASAP! Any vet will do. Just get the cat to the closest vet hospital, please, for the poor cat’s sake. Janice I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers. "A Bit of Fry and Laurie"

My cat Salem at night runs around the house crazily and noisy. Even iF we let him out he does the same thing. He just will not be quiet at night. what can we do. If we cannot fix this we may need to get rid of him. Which would make my daughter very sad. Please help.

Your cat is normal. You’re the one that’s going to have to accept your cats behavior AS IS. This is what cats do, especially kittens. And no matter how old cats get, the "midnight runs" are a built-in operating function of a cat. Go here to read up on cat behaviors: 1) Getting a cat FAQ: http://www.io.com/~tittle/cat-faqs/getting-a-cat.html; and 2) General Care of Cats: http://www.io.com/~tittle/cat-faqs/general-care.html If you decide you have to "get rid of" cat, at least find him a good home before you dump him. And maybe next time, research a little bit about the amimal that you’re adopting BEFORE you adopt one just because they’re cute. It’s like getting a lizard and then wondering why it keeps trying to escape.

It sounds like your cat may be bored during the day so he is full of energy at night. Try paying more attention to him, playing with him more than usual. If this doesn’t solve the problem, then maybe you should find another home for him – he’d be MUCH happier in a home where the humans accept his behavior for what it is: normal. lmg _ Laura M.

I have 4 cats altogether,2 adults and 2 kittens. The adults are mother and daughter and until 5 weeks ago they got on quite well, but now the daughter is fighter with her mother all the time. She only has to see her move and she ponces on her,but she gets on well with the kittens. Her sister got killed 5 weeks ago ans i was thinking if that might have something to do with it,or that i have now made them all house cats. Please can anybody help as i dont like to see them fight so much.

Dorothy, This must be frustrating for you to see this behavior. Your cats must adjust to two big changes: losing one of their family and learning to live as indoor cats. It sounds like the daughter is trying to claim a more dominate position. If you have not had your cats spayed, doing so might help. If the squabbles are short and nobody is getting hurt, you could separate them part of the day, or when you are gone, to give the mother cat some peaceful time and just let them work it out the rest of the time. On the other hand, the younger cat might just be looking for someone her own size to wrestle with. Are you sure they are fighting or is she just being a pest? Again, the mother cat probably would appreciate some time alone. Let us know how it goes. Anne
