Hi Annie,
Also, please take the lizard to a rehab or rescue for reptiles so that it can get the proper care for it’s injury and appropriate diet/care.
Good luck!

I Found An Island Glass Lizard In My House After Our Cat Brought Him In…
I found an Island Glass lizard in my house after our cat brought him in, I took him in and I have him in a box, he wasn’t moving around but he is alive. I think his back may be broken, his head can move but the rest of his body can’t. Is there any hope for his survival? He ate a grasshopper after I took it’s own legs off and put it right in front of him, so he is still eating.

Both of my cats have been experiencing diarrhea. The older one has yellow diarrhea and the kitten has trouble getting to the bathroom on time. I’m not sure if it’s because of the food or because they are in contact with other outside cats.

Alexandra Holley They are also still very active and show no signs of being sick. I feed and water them when ever I see that there bowl is running low

Anonymous are your cats outside cats?

Alexandra Holley My cats were strays so they used to be outside. I just rescued my kitten recently so my cat might have gotten something from him. I don’t think I’ll be able to afford a vet because I don’t have a job. But I’ll try to feed them healthier cat food and if that doesn’t help all I can do is try to find them a home that can provide for them.

I have a three week old kitten who hasn’t had a bowel movement since Wednesday. My friend told me to give him a dewormer since he was an outside cat and it will induce a bowel movement. Is it safe for him? Are there any alternative ways?

Cheyenne glasheen He just had a bowel movement and it was super solid for a 3 week old. No one induced it. But he had a hard time it took two people to hold him.

Pat Wells Post author Thank you. He is only 10 months old, and I play with him constantly, plus he is never by himself. We also have a dog that is a wonderful companion to Melvin.

Pat Wells Post author Do the nail caps work? And can you put them on? Plus cost for application

Kelly Furgason Nail caps often fall off and ndeed reapplication, but getting your cat’s nails clipped on a regular basis will help a ton!

Kelly Furgason Hi Pat,
If you do not have a cat tree for your cat, GET ONE 🙂 they are awesome for cats because they can climp up , scratch on them, jump from them. They are a saving grace. They come in all sorts of heights/sizes,textures. They are often expensive but well worth it. Bait the cat tree with cat nip or toys or cat treats to lure your cat to them if they don’t seem interested. Once they figure out they are fun they love them. Our cat did the same thing as yours before we got two cat tree’s . He usually is found sleeping at the top tier of the tree if he’s not crawling and scratching at it.As mentioned also provide cat scratch toys,,they have tons at petsmart or online. Some are as simple as a cardboard tray that has corregated board on it with catnip that cats get lured to and then can scratch. Also making sure you provide lots of play with rolling toys, plush ones,etc.
Heres a great link to fun toys and tree’s :http://www.overstock.com/Pet-Supplies/Cat-Supplies/312/dept.htmlI’ve found that the taller the cat tree you can get the better. Also try just simple boxes, cats love to get inside them and scratch at them too.
And again, make sure to clip your cats nails on a very regular basis, they grow very fast.
Good luck! Have fun!

Micha Michlewicz Wonderful advice here about nail clipping and also training and enrichment for your cat. Cats are very intelligent, active animals (maybe not while we’re awake!). They need fun and interesting things to climb, things to scratch, and food to hunt. I recommend clients feed *at least* (but preferably ALL) meals in enrichment toys and for positive training. These includes puzzle boards, balls with holes, etc. Also, provide plenty of non-food toys too that will engage your cat’s predatory drive. Put out some of these toys and store the rest. Then after a week or two, switch. This way, you have a rotation of toys and your cat doesn’t get bored.
You can train your cat to scratch on posts or a sanding board. Or simply bring him/her in for nail clippings, or have a groomer come to your house, or learn to do it yourself. There’s a very good group on Facebook for training these things called Nail Maintenance for Dogs. While the group is geared towards dogs, it will work for any other animal with nails as well. Check out the files section to get started.
