You could try keeping an aquarium. I have one primarily for my own amusement, but it seems to be the equivalent of kitty TV. My cats are fascinated with the fish! Just get a good cover on it...mine will reach their paws in to mess with the fish, and drink the water. I've had to modify my setup...

The garage can be full of strange smells. Oil, rubber, fuel, various other car fluids. As a mechanic I know this stuff can get pretty pungent, even more so for a cat with their sense of smell. So that may have something to do with it, just being too much for a cat to handle. And all cats are...

There are pros and cons to using a spray bottle as I see it. On one hand it doesn't hurt your cat and can be used to quickly stop them from doing something bad. One of my two cats needs the occasional squirt but unfortunately he's the bigger faster stronger and younger of the two, and it seems...

The title pretty much says it all..what are the main differences between a Maine Coon and a Norwegian Forest Cat? I have a Coon, and all these forest cats I see online seem pretty similar.

My almost 1 year old Maine Coon named Dale just had a horrible freak out at the expense of a paper bag. This paper bag was making him curious as usual, and in the process of pouncing on it he somehow got his head through one of the twine handles. Now he started freaking out and running at top...

My cat nail clippers came with a file, but I've never used it. It's hard enough clipping their claws, I'm lucky to get four claws at a time. What's the benefit to filing them? As long as they aren't like needles or scalpels its short enough.

Thats the grossest thing I've ever heard. Oops, theres one behind the door! And one in the fridge! And one on the computer keyboard!

If you keep picking them up he'll never learn. Let them pile up 'till theres a huge mound, eventually he would notice.

If she's 14 months the pregnancy shouldn't be a problem. The issue is with older sows who havent had a litter getting pregnant, their pelvises have fused and the opening isn't big enough to pass a pup through. My girlfriend and I had a couple guinea pigs a while ago. 2 females, named Fluffy...

Did you think The Wraith: Shangri-La and Hell's Pit were any good compared to the other joker's cards?

My parents had a Maine Coon named Dexter who always had problems with clumping and matting. No matter what they did with his diet (following vets advice) or grooming, that's how it was. So he was continually shaved. They bought a special electric cat razor to use, and learned a method for...

For what it's worth in your situation, I'm glad that I paid the extra $$$ for a purebred cat. My maine coon I got as a kitten has turned out to be far and away the best cat I've ever had. The breeder did cut us a deal, actually. We had to drive two states to her cattery (nearest maine coon...

A loaf of fresh french bread, put it in the oven at 350 or whatever temp your chicken is cooking, for 10 minutes before you eat to warm it up. And a bottle of wine, maybe. As far as I'm concerned, if you have your bread, salad, and good beer or wine you're just about set. Sometimes that's all...

Did you tell him that you would go to the car show, and changed your mind now? That's not cool, if thats the situation. As far as him not wanting you to go to the bar where you get hit on by drunk old men, isnt that better than you getting hit on by hot young men? I trust my girlfriend and...

I never even knew that you could insure your pet. I might insure my 11mo old maine coon. He was expensive and I anticipate him living a long time, might be a good deal. It basically pays for vet visits, right?
