    Different behavior in different rooms

    Hi Cat Person This is a great idea that you shared. Thank you! Clearly it has worked for your kitten. I cannot take ChooChoo to a new place but I can definitely try to confine him downstairs for an extended period and see if he accepts it. My wife and I have some vacation coming up and we are...

    Hilarious litter behavior

    My kitten ChooChoo seems like a neat freak, unlike his parents . He has this amusing habit. Everytime he goes peepee he covers up the spot like all cats, but if my wife or I were close to the litte box, he would double and triple check the spot and cover it up even more. The most hilarious...

    Different behavior in different rooms

    My 5 month old kitten behaves differently in different rooms. We have two upstairs bedrooms, one of which is ChooChoo's room and the other is our bedroom where he is also allowed. He's got his cat tree, food bowl etc. all upstairs and he usually ignores us or comes and sits next to us etc. When...

    Panting kitten - cause for worry?

    My ChooChoo is 5 months old and like all kittens he is a bundle of energy. However, for a couple of days I notice that he is panting heavily after even a brief play time. Initially I thought he was angry, because from a distance you can only see that his mouth was open but today he did that...

    Wet food to avoid?

    A cat owning friend told me that there is mostly no "bad" wet cat food, unlike dry food. I've learned from here that dry food with byproducts or too much grain should be avoided. But is there a similar issue with some wet cat food products? I've tried Fancy Feast, IAMS, Friskies and Science Diet...

    Choosing heartworm/flea meds

    I'm a new cat owner and recently took my ChooChoo to the vet for the first time. The vet gave me a 3 month supply of Revolution topical medication for $55. I'm wondering what my real medication options are for heartworm/flea prevention and where to get them cheaper. Any ideas? Thanks

    Oops, $50-60 is what we hope to spend in total for ChooChoo including litter.

    New cat parent confused about cat food

    Sharky, ChooChoo is healthy, not overweight and has no issues or conditions as per the vet. He's also been fixed, BTW. We want him to not get fat and lessen the poop odor, but other than that no requirements. Financially, times are tough but we think we can afford 50-60 bucks a month for...

    Thanks. There's a PetSmart, PetCo and Pet SuperMarket near where I live (in Atlanta, Ga). There's also a Petland not far from my home.

    Hi there

    Hi all, This is Jim from Atlanta. Recently, my wife and I adopted a 4 month old male kitten "ChooChoo" from an animal shelter. ChooChoo is a tiny orange monster and he's already taken over our house. He likes to hide, pounce and run around all the time. We're hoping to learn from other cat...

    New cat parent confused about cat food

    My wife and I recently adopted a 4 month old male kitten "ChooChoo". The animal shelter we adopted him from recommended feeding him the Hills Science Diet dry and canned cat food. We have about 3 weeks supply of Science Diet dry food and some canned stuff as well. Yesterday, we took ChooChoo for...
