The advice regarding changing the direction of the roll worked well for me! I read that someplace else and tried it - Cosmo hasn't touched the paper since. She does quite like the empty tube, though, once I'm done. Little things like that, and keeping the toys fresh by rotating them with...

My 8 month old, Cosmo, will come at me the same way - sideways, back arched and ears back - and I'll chase him until he runs out of room. Maybe, despite their wiring, this is a way for them to interact with us that they enjoy? I wonder if there's "play fighting" in the wild?

My kitten Cosmo will fetch! He likes those mylar balls, and every once in a while he'll bring it to me while I'm lying on the couch watching TV or reading. When I throw it back on the floor, he'll jump down and bring it back to me. It's the cutest darned thing I've ever seen. Sometimes, I'll...

Hi everyone - I'm pretty new here, my cat is Cosmo, she's about eight months old months old. I've had her for six of those months. It's very strange to call her "her" too, because until I got her spayed last week, she was a boy cat! Yes, the humane society told me she was a boy, and frankly I...

Hi everyone! Well it's a day later and I've taken the collar off. She seems to be very happy about this, but what do I know really - it could just be me that's happy because she seems like her normal self without it. I want to thank you all so much for your input, I was pretty worried last...

No, she wasn't biting, the Humane Society just told me to keep the collar on her for ten days! I'm probably being over paranoid too - just want to make sure this all goes right. And they used dissolvable sutures.

Thanks, this is very helpful for me ... just two more things then. I'm gone for much of the morning, do you think I should leave the collar on when I'm not here. What about at night when I'm sleeping? And then, two, if she were to start biting the sutures, would she start bleeding? Is that...

Wow ... thanks for the information! But how do I know if she's biting at the sutures? I've seen her licking in the area, when I free her from that collar. But not incessantly or anything. I think the poor girl goes nuts not being able to clean herself while wearing that thing! She'll end up...

Hi Everyone! I'm Gessie and my little cat Cosmo was spayed about four days ago. I'm having trouble keeping her from jumping up on things. Also, she looks so forlorn in that silly e-collar. Is it really necessary? And any help you'd have about keeping her from jumping, I'd appreciate it...

Hi all! I've decided to take the plunge and join a cat forum, so I'm Gessie and my kitty is Cosmo, she's about 7 months old. I rescued her from the Colorado Humane Society, along with a brother who didn't survive long Cos is a DLH, gray tabby, and was spayed about four days ago. I'm a bit...
