Too cute! That started my day with a smile!

Congratulations! Exciting! What do they look like?

Oh, I remember that feeling. Everyone has already said it, but I'll chime in. My first cat was sick when I brought her home and she was very shy. When I started giving her meds, she hated me too! She'd hide from me. She scratched me so much she drew blood once. It was a horrible start, and I...

I'm curious about everyone's opinion on whether certain types of cats have particular traits. For example, someone told me orange tabbys were super affectionate (mine is). And I heard that torties have 'tude! hee! Somone told me calicos like to dominate (true? IDK) Anything else? I know it's...

I feel you! My first kitty was the same way, very aloof and independent. I was so excited to get her and play with her and chased her around which probably made things worse! Since then I've gotten a fabulous dog. But I still craved a cuddly kitty, and so I got one of those too! (A male...

Thanks for the advice. She's recently had a check up and blood work and there's no problems. The vet said to add fish oil and if she won't eat it, then there's not much else I can do. I just wanted to pick some brains on here, so thank you!!

My mom wants to keep cats out of her yard and garden without harming them at all. Any suggestions? (I guess the cat gene skipped a generation, hm?)

Thanks for advice! My kitty is on Hills Science MD from the vet because she needs to lose weight. She'll only eat dry food. If it doesn't crunch, she wont' eat it. Argh!

I heard fish oil helps, but my cat won't eat her food if it has fish oil in it. Any other advice?! I have a gorgeous black cat ... with white flakes! :-( !!!

Thanks, everyone! I live in California and all your flea stories sound so horrible that I think I'll take the safe way and keep giving my kitty meds. Thanks for all the great feedback! Dawnalina

I'm currently giving my cat a monthly dose of Revolution flea medication. Is it necessary for an indoor cat? Important detail: indoor cat lives with an indoor/outdoor dog (who is definitely staying on Revolution!). Thanks for info! Dawnalina
