Anonymous Just for future reference: this isn’t a hybrid. The word “hybrid” indicates a mix of a wild species and a domesticated species. What you’re talking about is simply a mix, and the risks are about equal to those of a purebred. In short, you’re taking a risk no matter what…chances are the owner(s) of the parents have not done any sort of health testing and do not know the overall health of either cat’s pedigrees.

efsun sanders thank you so much..
-
Dawn Ferara, DVM Breeding 2 different breeds together gives you hybrid vigor. This term basically says that mix breeds tend to have less health problems and live longer than their purebred parents. Although there is always a risk hybrids of 2 purebreds are usually healthier.

efsun sanders thanks for your interest…

Anonymous Dr. Ferara, have you read newer evidence questioning the theory of hybrid vigor? http://animalbiology.ucdavis.edu/Accomplishments/PDF/Inherited%20disorders%20with%20dogs.pdf
Betty Has Always Been What I Call A Scaredy Cat But Hasn’t Always Sprayed It…
Betty has always been what I call a scaredy cat but hasn’t always sprayed it seems to be after we moved house. I don’t think it was the house move but around me are a lot of cats and this makes her nervous she is constantly sat at a window.
She loves the baby and I feel like she is spraying as a way of claiming and protecting the home but obviously it’s not good for the baby! I’ve wondered if she has behavioural issues but am worried to take her to the vet with high costs if that’s not the issue. I’ve tried plug ins also. Basically I need advice. O find out what a vet would do to determine if she needs treatment and what kind of treatment it would be! Thank you

Charlotte Vokes Thank you! She uses her litter tray though still so I have no problem in that! It’s only when I seem to have my window open she does it, I’m presuming due to all the other cats in the area! I love her but with him starting to move around I need to get it sorted for both of their sakes! X

Emma Wootton Yeah I think we need too, the bruising has only just come up recently, he’s panting really heavily, not being able to go to the toilet not wanting to eat or drink, we have to though.. We give him tablets from the vets but their not helping him. He hasn’t had sleep for ages, us thinking it’s his hips, but not this bruising has come up

My cat is really really possessive over this one plant in the yard. Is there any way to get him to play nice with the other cats around this thing?

Laura Other than removing the plant or keeping the cats indoors, I cannot think of anything that would make him friendlier.

B Everitt Wire covers would work to protect the plant

Julie Brader Does the plant live in a pot? You could try adding scent around it that would make the cat want to avoid it.

My hamster is shuffling around in its belly and can’t lift up his head. He moves a little bit then stops and goes to sleep. He isn’t making any noise and he is a healthy weight. What is wrong with him?

Anonymous That’s very odd. Are you sure he CAN’T lift his head? This sounds like something a vet needs to see in person.
Take her to the vet where they can sedate her to get the needles out.
Thank you. After further research I agree that this is the best solution.
