I'm using Tidy Cats multiple cat litter.

Will bring up asthma too on Monday if he's not better. Thanks! He is currently on Royal Canin Kitten formula. I switched him over from the Iams that his foster mom was giving him.

Thanks for chiming in y'all. Charlie's feral mother was trapped by their foster mom. He has been with the foster since birth. She works with the rescue agency who has a deal with Petsmart, which is where we fell in love with him. When my husband contacted her to tell her that Charlie is...

My husband and I adopted a 5 month old kitten last wednesday from one of the animal rescue societies here in Oklahoma. He was very active and playful and sweet and talkative, and we just KNEW that he would make a great addition to our family (we have two other cats). And we will, we've just...

It's a rarity if one of my cats sleeps in the bed with us. Albert will let me fall asleep and cuddle him, and even sleep with my head ON him, but he loves to sleep in Cleo's little pink bed that he keeps overturned so that it swaddles him. Cleo isn't into being held, and the only time she'll...

I hope that Molly's tests turn out okay! *sends good vibes* A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my Cleo was drinking an INCREDIBLE amount of water. I was filling her water bowl twice a day! I was starting to get a little worried, until I noticed that there was an awful lot of water around...

I'm glad that you're very dedicated to figuring out a fix for your little kitty, however, yelling at her is something you really should not do. She can't help the behavior, and having her beloved mommy yell at her for it has to make it worse for her.

Albert makes himself a cave to sleep in out of the covers when we're not in bed. Other than that, he LOVES to crawl under the fitted sheet! It's so cute, there's this little bump running around under the sheet. He drives Cleo nuts when he does that!

Stephanie, I think I know the kind of mice you're talking about. They have the real fur, right? Albert LOVES those, and when I was out looking for some new ones (He KILLS them), I found some with feathers for tails. Maybe you could get her some of those? That way it still has a tail, but not...

So are we to assume, Miss Ellen, that you have decided to keep sweet Peachy for your very own?

Why not leave her with her littermates and bring them ALL in!?!?? I think that would be the ideal situation for all of them. A warm loving home, AND their brothers and sisters? What could be better?

I was just about to respond and ask you if you had considered this. You are quite a responsible new kitty person! I have my babies chipped, and it helps me rest so much easier. My cats don't even go outside, but I always feel it's better to be safe than sorry. Chipping is very inexpensive...

I would let her out for a little bit at a time, just stay close! You can't very well prevent her from doing exactly what she wants, but if you're close enough, you may be able to to keep her from hiding. After an hour or so, put her back in her little area. After all, she's just gone on a big...

Also, I just thought of a few more things that might help you out. When my husband and I were dating, his parents didn't have central heat. So when it got cold they would heat the house with the oven. I'm sure that would work wonderfully for you. Just crack the oven and keep an eye on it to...

They make pet heating pads....You might check on those. I have no idea about them except that they make them. Sorry I'm not more helpful. I do agree with Buzby though: Those poor strays do make it somehow through some cold winters. Three weeks might be rough, but I would think that as long...
