Hi guys! I'm a little concerned about Houdini. About two weeks ago I noticed a very small, rice like worm on his behind. I took him to the vet about 5 days ago (Please don't make me feel guilty for not going immediately :( ) Anyways. The vet did not take a sample, but gave him the dewormer shot...

I don't believe we have an independent store, Teskies might be though. I accidentally purchased the Nurto Cat Max instead of getting all of three of the Natural Choice kind. We tried Wellness Core Chicken, Turkey and Liver I believe, first. He took to it right away but stopped half way...

Today I decided to stop by petsmart and pick up some wet food for Houdini. He has been on dry his whole life as far as I know, and I have given him those new Broths and he liked those. His dry is obviously stale at this point so I decided today was as good as any to pick up some good wet food. I...

I'm not sure if this counts as a "gift", but after reading this thread I believe it might be. My cat Houdini leaves his wand toy, (has a stuffed toy with feathers on the end) on my bed everyday. He will not and has not brought it on the bed when I am home, but when I go out I always expect that...

Thanks Ruaryx! I should have clarified that Houdini and I live in the basement together :) I am only gone when I am working/out and about, otherwise I am with him most always. At first, I took that as him wanting me to use that toy as well, but when I try to play with him he is scared of it...

Hey guys, I have posted about Houdini before but I will quickly review some of his behavior. He is a neutered, almost 2 yrs old male. He is not very "friendly", as he will sometimes attack (usually no skin is broken), and seems to be territorial. He will sleep in bed with me, and head butt for...

Thanks for all of the replies! We also drove out of town to get him, even though there were plenty of cats closer. We also were going there to adopt a totally different cat, but Houdini needed me. I figure he drew me to him because he must have known that no matter his attitude, I would keep him...

Thanks for all the answers guys! I have been trying to immediately stop petting him when he has twitchy tail/dilated pupils. I ignore him, walk away, etc.  One last question: What do I do while he is attacking/biting aggressively? Last night he hoped on my bed, thinking my hands were prey and...

I would greatly appreciate some straight forward info on raw diet. Houdini will be two in May, and is a strictly indoor only cat. He currently eats about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of Purina Pro Plan indoor kibble 3 times a day. I'm seriously considering raw, but will not start the switch until I am...

Best of luck Soph! I feel that we got him for a reason. He would have been moved into a barn, alone, if no one came to adopt him. He may not be affectionate at the moment, but either way I made the decision to sign those adoption papers and to me there is no looking back. Someday I may try...

Sometimes he will accept petting. In the morning he often approaches in a calm, happy manner and will allow me to pet for a couple minutes then leaves and/or tries to bite. During the day he may accept a pet or two, then he will strike. Most of his bites are relatively soft, but sometimes he...

Hi guys! I'm really hoping for me answers or advice. I just adopted my very first cat, Houdini. He is going to be two, and is a fixed, claws-in-tact male. He doesn't get along with other cats, and was staying in a storage room alone, as he couldn't be with the other cats in the rescue. We have...
