Brutus and Okage both like to sleep at our feet. Although occasionally Brutus will come up and plop right down on your chest while you sleep, purring insanely loud. More recently, the two have taken to fighting over the spot beside me, closest to the space heater. I have dubbed it The Spot...

So my boyfriend and I have two cats, Brutus and Okage. Brutus is hyperactive and extremely smart.. so he gets into nearly everything. We recently bought four portable phones to place around the house. A week later, we're scratching our heads wondering where they all went, as we only had one...

My cat, Fatty, was fairly old.. we weren't sure how old because the original owner never told us how old he was, or even what his name was. But we had him for almost a year, when suddenly he just stopped eating or drinking very much. Then stopped eating all together. He wasn't an outdoor cat at...

My cats like to chase each other.. and one often runs right at the couch, straight up the back of it, and push off to backflip around and land right ontop of Brutus for a sneak-attack! My li'l ninja cat. The both do flips when there's a bug in the air to catch. :O

My cat usually does it because he thinks there's a moth or bug up there.

Brutus started doing that with a brand of treats that used to be his favorite! I'm not sure why, but I would shake the container, and he would get all excited, but when I put it down for him to eat, he would smell it, look confused, and then start trying to bury it as if it were poo! I just...

It's probably not the smell that keeps them coming back, twsty. Chances are, your cat is in the habit of going there, so aside from cleaning, you either have to make that spot inaccessible or undesirable to your kitty.. and make sure her litter box is more desirable than the accident spot...

I used Nature's Miracle for a whole CHUNK of my carpet that my cat was going on. I soaked the whole area in the stuff, and then placed a PLASTIC carpet runner on top of the whole area and put a few heavy objects on top of it for almost two weeks. It got all the smell out, and on top of that...

Have you tried tiring him out a lot before bed? Sometimes a good, solid playtime before bed will help the cat to learn to sleep more when you're sleeping. My cat is sometimes a talker, so when she's loud, I talk back to her and mimic her sounds, but quieter, and she usually lowers her voice to...

Aw, it's perfectly reasonable to be worried about where your kittens are ending up! Thats why I wanted most of mine to go to friends and family, so that I could still watch them grow up, and so that I knew they were being cared for properly. I've never met two cats that are the same, so they are...

Blowing on the face works. I use that to keep the kitties away from my food. I used to use a spray bottle for one kitten that was a foot-biter, and that also seems to work. It's likely that she thinks, 'Hey, I'm awake! You should be awake too!' It might still be the mascara thing; cats have an...

Scary, Taz! Callista: Yes, I did some reading up on it. The thing is, his water dish always has water in it, but he only really drinks there if I JUST replaced the water. So I'm wondering if he's just picky. Still, it would be good to get him checked just in case.

Rescue Remedy is not something you'd find at a pet store. I actually used to use it for panic attacks... so you're more likely to find it in a health food store, or homeopathic store. Bach's Rescue Remedy is pretty common. I'm not sure how you're supposed to give it to cats though. I didn't...

Well, he hasn't been eating any more than usual as far as I can tell. But I'll see if I can get him checked out, or at least ask the vet (since he's a friend of my mother). o_o Hopefully he's just weird, and not diabetic!

Hmm.. he was recently fixed, so he's been to a vet. But I'm not sure if he was checked for it. o_o Are there any other signs to look for in a cat that might have diabetes?
