We just moved into our first home and we were very excited... But now it's just kind have become stressful. My neighbors have 5 cats that are all out doors 24/7. The house we bought was empty for 2 years before we moved in and the neighbors cats feel free to use the bathroom on the stoop and in...

I read that article, thank you mrsgreenjeans :-)

Thank you I will check that out

That's a great idea! Thank you :-) I hadn't thought of that :-)

I just have a quick question- my beloved cat is on the slender side. I feel like she's too thin (maybe cuz my previous cat was a little over weight) but the vet said she's at the low end of what she should weigh but not underweight- also she has no medical issues, very healthy. I kinda feel like...

This is FireFly shamefully showing off what she does to the door when it's closed and she wants to be inside with me: Here she is, looking a little loopy... I use valerian tea for my insomnia, however, valerian is a stimulant to cats (its like catnip but stronger) That being said, this is...

Gotcha, that makes sense :-) thank you

Thanks guys!! I have the additives :-) I was just curious why most commercial raw blends specifically for cats have fruits/veggies. I thought there might be some benefit to cats that I was unaware of, so I wanted to be sure before excluding them... but I guess not. Are they just fillers? Either...

I currently order Bravo's Basic Blends (I get 3 or 4 flavors/protein sources) for my ferrets and I want to get FireFly on raw too. The basic blends include muscle meat, organ meat and ground bone, nothing else. They don't contain any fruits/veggies or anything else, because that's best for the...

Thank you!! And Thank you for your quick, informative reply. I'm afraid I'm not well versed in kitty genetics, lol, but I'll check the link out. If it's in laymen terms I should be fine :-P Though now that you mention that it's not just one gene, I wonder if it has anything to do with the gene...

It's not something I think I will be able to capture on camera, but, the tip of FireFly's eyebrow whiskers have little corkscrew curls. At first I didn't think much of it but I am bored at work and looked it up in google. One thing I read is that cats with American Wirehair or Rex breeds in...

I don't know much about catnip, but, I love herbs/herbal medicine and valerian gave me quite a surprise that may interest you (and others). I started with valarian because I have insomnia and I didn't want to take a narcotic med so I turned to herbal medicine. It's easy to grow, but while...

Thank you!! :-) And I agree.. When I was looking at fancy halters, most looked like they'd clash, except white (which I figured would get dirty too quick), blue (and I didn't want people to think she was a boy) and pink. When I saw it on her I was so pleased! I figured it'd look good but I was...

Sorry it took me so long to reply, I've been so wrapped up on training FireFly that I almost forgot this thread. First, let me say thanks for all the advice, lovely/funny stories and gorgeous pics (in this thread and the linked article) As far as her harness, when I told my parents our plan to...

Our FireFly was a stray that just walked on in th house one day. She seems happy enough in doors, just watching outside life through the window but my fiancee and I think it might be enriching for her to go on walks. We love to take our Chihuahua for walks and since the two of them have become...
