    Good stuff to clean up pee and spray stains and odors?

    Not sure really where to ask this, but it's a question that has to do with cleaning up after a behavior issue. My girlfriend has a room that her cats have peed and sprayed in quite a while ago. She's trying to clean up the room. Right now, she can't afford to replace the rugs, so I'm...

    do kitties respond to name like a dog?

    Casey used to come no matter what when I called her name. Smokey is finally learning his name and will come if he wants to. A lot of times, he'll look at me when I say his name though. Abby, well, she's just "clueless" (you would understand if you met her). She just comes and I'm not sure if...

    Science Diet Opinion?

    So the question begs to be asked... What IS a good cat food that I can buy at say a PetSmart? I've been feeding my cats SD for close to a year now and if it's not that good, what is? I remember reading a thread on the boards a while ago and I *thought* SD ranked up there pretty good (if I...

    Smokey and Abby

    LOL, guess that means I HAVE to break out the trainer tonight then! Been putting it off cause I haven't felt that great, but I don't really have an excuse today! I wonder what Abby's gonna think about it (she's never seen it in action). ~C

    Smokey and Abby

    Was talking with Cyclesarah and realized I haven't put up pictures of my buddies in a long time. Here's Abby (she's my newest addition): Smokey (boy has he grown a lot in the last 6 months): Hope you enjoy. I particularly like the one of Smokey sitting up looking into the camera. ~C

    how do i walk away

    I'd say really consider what others have already said. I too have been in a somewhat similar situation, but I chose to go through with the divorce. About a year ago I broke it off with my wife after 11 years of marriage. I truly felt that I was no longer in love with her and I hadn't been for...

    Have you ever had a timid cat?

    Thanks for the replies! It sounds like from what has been said, this cat's first few weeks were what has made her like she is. The cat is just over a year old and has been with the previous owner since she was 6 weeks old. From what I understand, she was rescued (I think with her mother) with...

    Have you ever had a timid cat?

    I got a new kitty about 1 and 1/2 weeks ago from a lady that could not afford to keep her any longer (she had 3 cats and 3 dogs). She's doing very well, and my resident cat is really coming along with the new addition. In fact, he's gotten over the hissing and has even tried to initiate play...

    New cat is meowing a lot... (looking for thoughts/advice)

    Thanks Kathryn! I've only been trying to ignore her because I didn't want to encourage her to meow for attention (if that makes any sense). I've read here how some people have had very vocal cats and they attributed it, at least partially, to constantly coming when the cat "calls" and they...

    New cat is meowing a lot... (looking for thoughts/advice)

    It looks like I may have just found the cause of Abby's behavior. She may be in heat: http://www.gmax.co.za/feel/pet/07/030722-pet.html Specifically: That describes her behavior to a T. Charles

    New cat is meowing a lot... (looking for thoughts/advice)

    I'm at work today, so I'm going to do some searching around the internet for some information, but I wanted to ask here as well. Thursday evening, I adopted a new kitty. Her name is Frankie (but I'm changing that to Abby). She's has med/long hair and is an orange and white tabby. She's...

    What kind of behavior can I expect with two cats?

    Well, this is the first time I've ever had two cats and I'm just curious what kinds of behavior can I expect and what is acceptable behavior. As I posted just a few minutes ago, I just adopted Oz as a companion to both myself and Casey. Oz: Casey: Well, they seem to be getting along very...

    Advice introducing a new (shy) cat to the resident cat...

    Just an update on this as I'm about to post another question and some might wonder what happened to Kelby. I brought Kelby back last week. As I mentioned in my posts above, he is/was very, very shy. I had a conversation with the shelter and decided it might be best to bring him back. My...
