I moved 30 miles away to a very small town.  One of my cats was a barn cat prior to me adopting him and since he has always been an indoor/outdoor cat.  Not chipped and no collar - he wasn't chipped when he was neutered by the humane society and I never put a collar on him as I heard horror...

I don't think there is anything you can do to speed the process up.  It will take time, basically your cat has to realize that your dog isn't going to harm her.  Also the cat needs to learn how to become dog savvy.  Now, this is my own personal opinion based on my own experiences with dogs and...

Very much so, time and patience are your friend and as others have mentioned, don't push him.  Let him come to you when he feels comfortable.   I took in a cat that was being chased by 2 small dogs constantly (which is why the family was looking to re-home him) long story short took him 3...

Yeah, I usually run over when he tries to make it onto the dresser so he doesn't splat onto the floor (I can't help but laugh a little - he's not injured or hurt or anything).  I just feel bad that he can't seem to be able to do it 100% of the time like my other two cats.

I've only had cats for about 5 years now give or take, so I don' t know if this is normal or not. Adopted a 3 month old kitten last spring/summer and noticed he wasn't the most coordinated guy - for example he would try to jump up to the counter from the floor and sometimes he'd hit the counter...

Pro and prebiotics.  One of our larger customers was a zoo in California, they had the rhinos on it. As for flavors all kinds were given - chicken, turkey, beef, white fish, etc.  Basically I just bought all the flavors and rotated them daily.

Luckily where I work, the owners, as a side project use to sell nutritional supplements for dogs and horses.  Closed down and still have a ton of it in the back so I'll just bring some microbial home and try that with the wet.

I haven't yet - the two older boys use to get Fancy Feast wet every now and then then I went on this whole pet food kick (changed both my dog and cat food) and passed up the typical brands that you find in a grocery store.

For Reference Bailey: 5-7 year old neutered male Cooper: 5-7 year old neutered male Lynk: > 1 year old neutered male I had succeeded in changing over from dry food to wet.  I initially was feeding a combination of Drs. Foster & Smith and 9 Lives and noticed Lynk had liquid poops other two...

I let him out...I'll clean up poop for 2 more days.  At least he does it in an area that's easy to clean?

Alright, thank you :) I just hear his little meows and it kind of gets to me - he's a cuddly lil fluff ball.  Specially as my other two boys sit by the door and meow back.

He was just at the vet recently where he got an exam and follow up on vacs.  I'm in the process of changing his diet as well. Yeah, I was thinking it was the smell thing just wanted a second opinion. Would you suggest keeping him confined in the bathroom with the new litter box until I get the...

I have two male cats between 5-6 and just last month I went and got a kitten.  After the slow introduction of how you're doing the two older guys would hiss and growl and hit (no claws) every now and then.  Eventually as they got more and more use to being around each other the growling and...

So Lynk is one of those cats who likes to use one box for peeing and another box for pooping.  I found this out the hard way as I watched him pee just fine in one and then poop on my laundry room floor. So I added another box in the downstairs area, my question is this.... The new box is...

Happy to have this thread here.  Excuse the necro bump as I don't feel another threads needs to be made. I have a youngish guy at 6 months who has longer fur.  It's not so much he has a dirty butt but he has clingers.  Would you guys just take some scissors and trim the back area or whats the...
