My husband and I are going out of town for 3 days next week and leaving our 2 one-year-old cats home alone for the first time! I'm so nervous. The only thing that makes me feel ok, is that we've tried traveling with them earlier in the summer and the commuting was really hard for them. I know...

are there any developmental milestones or changes in behavior to expect when cats turn one-year-old?

thanks.....they've finally stopped trying to bit,lick, or scratch them off. but I hope it lasts! I took the bells off, that was never an option. I got the smallest tags I could find but they still seem to annoy them a bit. Can't blame them. Once we return home from our trip my indoor cats...

my girls are almost 1 year old and i'm trying to put collars on them for the first time! I know! I know! Should have done it sooner, but I didn't. they are not very happy with them on. (even when I gave a yummy treat) any suggestions? should i put in on for short durations of time and then...

thanks everyone. my sister-in-law is considering it...keep your fingers crossed! She's our only hope...... on such short notice, i can't find a place open to board them! I even tried calling the vet to see about a pet sitter, no luck yet. they said "summer in manhattan....everybody is away!!"...

Today, my husband and I made last minute vacation plans. We've rented a beach house for 5 days. It is in a quiet and safe community. BUT The inlaws (whom happen to be cat people) are unable to take Jassie and Macy while we're away. I have 2 choices - take them with us or scramble to find...

thanks for the feedback. I do feed her wet food, which is placed on a mat, along with her dry food. This is not a matter of a messy eater, but simply a game that she prefers to play above all the rest. Oh well!

Wow, I just realized how long it has been since my last post, anyhow.....good to be back. Macy, who is almost 1 year old, LOOOOVES to play with her dry food. She picks up a kibble or two with her paw and then bats it around our tiny apartment. She looks so determined and engrossed at these...

Macy has always panted a bit after a lot of running and playing. I had her checked out by the vet, and they reassured me that everything is fine. The past couple of days I've noticed that at times her breathing is very rapid and that she will start panting out of nowhere. I think I should...

Jassie and Macy are 8 months old. Since we adopted them at 5 weeks old there has been such a huge range of different sounds coming from each of them. I imagine this is how they learn to talk and communicate...BUT... As soon as I think I have figured out what one meow means they introduce a...

Did you mix the 2 together? Or just put the 25% of the WBCL on top? I started sprinkling a little bit on top and their little noses are going crazy!!!! But no avoidance!

Does anyone have suggestions about switching litter brands? I am going from Tidy Cat clay to WBCL....big difference!! I just want to make sure their transition from one to the other is as stress free as possible. Thanks!

oh no! I never purposefully make them dizzy! No,no,no!!! Sometimes the Cat dancer gets on the floor and when one end is in Jassie's mouth she'll start chasing the other end....so she ends up going in circles....getting dizzy. I stop her....my husband thinks she'll stop herself . that is why I...

thanks for your response. Just so you know I don't let her chew on any of those dangerous things mentioned. As soon as she would go for them I put them away. When it became more frequent they were put out of sight for good. thanx again

Is it ok to let your cat get dizzy?
