If your cat is not showing signs of being overly distressed then I would think long and hard about introducing another cat into a small space. More often than not cats don't like the idea of another cat coming into their territory. Sure, most accept it in time, but it initially upsets them. In...

Hee Hee! I love all these stories about kitty / cat romping time. LOL! Aren't they a blast to watch when they are wild like that? And each one seems to play just a little differently. Both my cats have a tendecy to scream when romping. Ashke likes to go into the bathroom where he can get a cool...

I have two cats and I uaually feed them half their food portion for the day in the morning and the other half at night. But, I don't take the food up after a specific time, I leave what's left down for them all day and all night so they can eat at their own pace. I have done some research into...

Puppy mills are awful, aren't they? I wish too that they didn't exist. I feel we can all help a little by never buying anything from a pet store that sells dogs etc from these mills. I mean nothing, not toys, food, animals....nothing. And tell everyone we know about the puppy mills and urge them...

If anyone is interested in volunteering, I would highly recommend visiting your local PetSmart (if you have one) and checking out the cats for adoption there and looking into volunteering for the shelter that has their animals in PetSmart for adoption. I volunteer for Friends of Plymouth Pound...

I just wanted to say that the reason everyone is saying that an un-neutered male living outside has the potential to have a shorter lifespan is because they are more likely to roam in search of females and to protect their territory. By roaming they can more easily get into fights, get hit by a...

My Tiger used to love to chew on plastic but he was very specific about which kind he liked. His plastic of choice was either pages from a photo album or pages from a card album! He destroyed an expensive portfolio case I had because he chewed the edges of the plastic inserts! He also thought...

I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else.... Occaisionaly, when I am cleaning the cages and exercising the cats, I will have someone knock on the door and be particularily interested in a cat. So, I have let them in to interact with the cat in question. And the cat will suddenly turn...

I have been volunteering for a little over a year now at Friends of Plymouth Pound. This is a great no kill shelter in MA. http://www.gis.net/~fpp/ I don't think I could ever handle a kill shelter, but I wanted to help out, so I chose FPP. Experience has been rewarding and I just admire all the...

Oh!!! they are adorable! the pic of bootsie is particularily sweet! Hee Hee They are both just so cute! I know what you mean about being allergic. I am allergic to both dogs and cats. More so to dogs. But whenever I get a cat scratch my skin puffs way up around it and it is itchy as anything...

55Dali: They are cute aren't they? The black one is Aiden and the other is Ashke. Would you believe that Ashke is only part Main Coon? His mother was a short haired brown tabby cat. But everyone who sees him just thinks he is pure bred. LOL! He is beautiful! I just think Main Coons are the...

Oh my goodness!! No! Don't ever discourage this beahviour. If you can stand the feel of it, that is. Suckling and/or kneading has nothing to do with how early or not they were taken away from their mom. I have had a kitten that was ripped away from her mother before she was 5 weeks old. Never...

Thank you! That was just the help I needed. Thanks again.

Could someone tell me how I can place a picture into my signature? Thanks!

Well, I have not found a solution yet for Aiden's problem, but there are many things you can try. My problem is our darling Aiden loves to eat anything, and I do mean anything! So many of these solutions did not work on him because he doesn't mind the taste. You could try buying apple bitter and...
