Yeah, ours are fascinated with Qtips too. It's run through our minds that Pippin has some sort of weird ear wax fixation. I'm a little relieved to hear that other peoples cat's do it too. As far as the aquarium goes, I'm fine with them watching the fish (we call it kitty TV too. ) But...

Hi! We have two not quite six month old kittens, Pippin and Eowyn. They're doing great, healthy, happy, affectionate and full of personality. But I do have a couple questions. 1. How do I keep them away from the aquariums? For now we're just discouraging the behaviour when we catch it...

We had a cat that used to do this. It was almost a bath tradition. She like to play "find the toes" in the suds. I haven't taken a bubble bath since we got the new kittens, but it wouldn't shock me to see the same sort of behaviour from them. They love running water. In fact, Pippin went...

Hi Kevin, We live in Edmonds and we really like All the Best Pet Care. They sell trees made by a gentleman from Everett. They're generally a mix of log posts and covered platforms. There are lots of knobby bits for cats to rub up agains, and I know a lot of people prefer to give their cats...

Well, I'm no expert, but I was always told that it's better to get one of the opposite sex especially when dealing with females.

I vote for Zephyr based on her coloring and the way you've described her personality. I have to agree with Nebula though, Shenanigans could be a neat name for a cat.

When we were looking for a new cat, we attended one of the local cat shows. We got to speak to various breeders and made a couple appointments to see catteries that day. It's also a great chance to see a lot of different breeds. A local rescue organization also had several kittens available...

Our cat was approximately 13 when we lost her to lymphoma. However, she was very healthy in every other way. Kidneys were great, blood work was great (all things considered). It was something that we took into account when deciding to proceed with treatment. My point is that while I know...

I think it really depends on the reason your cat has stopped eating. When we were in the process of having our cat's cancer diagnosed, she was suffering from sever upper respiratory symptoms so she couldn't smell the food. We'd been force feeding for about 3 days before she started eating on...
