My poor cat had to have her anal glands expressed since the vet thought it might solve her overgrooming, since nothing else seems to have worked. What a nightmare for her. She had to have a cone placed around her neck after she bit the assistant on the first try. She screamed so loudly, it was...

Sweet Pea yawning, possibly singing :)

I'll try distracting her, I brushed her again yesterday and right now it seems like the best thing for her sides is to brush with the furminator until she starts getting peeved and then remove the loose fur with the regular cat brush. 

Good luck!! It might take some time but it will be worth it :) 

Can you keep them separated by a door at first, putting their food dishes next to the door on both sides, so they can get used to one another by smell first?. Don't just let your cat hide in the basement all day or she'll probably stay there without the chance to get used to the puppy.  Of...

Sweet Pea seems to have three varieties of fur on her... long and slick down her back and tail, "normal" length and  texture fur, and then lots and lots of the light and very fluffy stuff.  Normal cat brushes don't pick up any of her fur but she was starting to shed a lot in spring so I got her...

Thanks for all the advice guys. So I'm not as worried about FIV as I was, but after reading a story about some guy killing cats just outside the city in broad daylight (who has to show up to court but in the meantime gets to walk around free) , my biggest worry now is Sweet Pea somehow getting...

Hi, I want to start taking my cat outside my apartment on a leash, not to walk very far or anything but so she can hang out among the flowers for a bit and get some outside time. She has always been an indoor cat. She was given to me by a friend who had given her basic vaccinations that you...

Hi from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and here's my best little buddy Sweetpea. She was a stray who came up to a friends' home who I was staying with me while she went on holiday but since she was going to be doing so much traveling in the future she asked me if I wanted to keep her.... by then I had...

She's so pretty, she really rocks that green ribbon too. Mine was a stray as well and she also had to get her bearings around the apartment before she could settle in. Now she can't get enough of playtime though yours may be more of the type that needs you to initiate it--like using a rod toy...

I live in an apartment building so I scoop Sweetpea's litter every night into paper bags, fold it over, stick some tape on it and chuck it down the garbage chute. One of the perks of apartment life I guess.  I figured the paper bags were more environmentally friendly than plastic. I use Arm &...
