This thread is hilarious. Mine love boxes as well as paper garbage bags lying down. Have to get in them!!! My brother, no big fan of cats, stopped by a few weeks ago. He brought a small box of parts for me. This is stuff he labored over making for our gunsmith hobby. He sets it on my...

FWIW, I'm very new at cats. Mine are stray sisters I brought home as 6 wk old kittens. They were lunatics until they had run of the house. Not that they are angels now, but way better than before. They're best when everyone's home. They relax, play, cuddle...etc. Their bloodline was having...

Thanks. Come to think of it, I have never seen my 2 hiss at each other even though they fight every now and then. They seldom if ever fight like they're actually mad at each other. And the more I think about it the cats at work will hiss without it turning into a major fight. Usually arguing...

Can someone please explain the reason(s) for hissing? Obviously it's not a sweetheart gesture, but it seems to be used across a wide level of anger, so to speak. Example: I would rough house the stray male cats in our building and some would look forward to it daily. They scratched me good...

Thanks all. Bastet - they are 2 yrs old and very active which like you say is normal. MB - The both of them will take fabric softener sheets and have a ball with them. Or socks, underwear...etc. Whatever laundry lying around becomes fair game. Foodlady - They haven't knocked it over, yet...

First, let me say Thanks to the many members of this forum that have helped me in the past. My rescued tabby with the so-called incurable illness is healthy as all get out and I believe much of it is due to info I read right here. She takes NO meds at all. Just diet, which is cat food that I...

I have the utmost respect for any of our volunteer service people, over any period in our history. Those that serve do not question, they simply drive ahead. Our company is approved to mfg products for the D.O.D. and I was given the assignment of getting this approval. Afterward, I was...

Thank you all for the answers. I'm not doing many of those things currently, but will put it in place and see what happens.

I have no idea which forum area to put this, so bear with me. My son who has lived away for a few years may be coming home. This is fine, they're always welcome back. However, we took in these kittens since he left and I'm pretty sure his allergies are going to go nuts living with them. We...

Along the line of using chalk, I have used baby powder indoors. They will walk through it but it kills them somehow when it gets on their feet. We found the little brown ones in our kitchen cabinets shortly after getting the cats. I figured it was left out dry food attracting them. I emptied...

Otto: I saw the label and basically kept the dog outside with me most of the day. Her fur "lays" and I have to put the stuff on in several small dots or it will leave a wet spot on her back. I did it this way for years because I don't want it on peoples hands either. I assumed unless they...

Lace, most likely the stuff is still working. The fleas you are seeing are dying if they are on the animal. I'm not familiar with revolution. We do our dog occasionally with Advantix drops on the shoulder blades. (The cats stay indoors) I have seen fleas a few days after the application...

I finally saw her in the box so I got a sample to the vet this morning. No worms. (My schedule, 7:00 - 7:00, does not leave me much time around the house to see whose poo is whose!) His next choice was the glands also. He mentioned a small possibility 5%, of tapeworm. He said I'd see things...
