    plastic lids for cat food cans?

    Thanks. I think I will just try the tupperware. Now why didn't I think of that!?

    plastic lids for cat food cans?

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this... I'm trying to find plastic lids for the small 3oz cans of fancy feast cat food. They only ones I can ever find are bigger ones. I only give my cat half a can a day (she gets sick if I give her more) of canned food, and then give her dry food as...

    shedding, shedding, shedding...

    I might have to check it out - looks like a fur squegee! Will it work on pillows? I have a lot of floor pillows and they might as well be white now!

    Loves shoes

    LOL! Yes, I've nicknamed my cat "Dog" because she carries my shoes around - mostly my slippers and socks, but last week she was dragging my tennis shoe by the string! If I can't find them I just go look in her stash under the guest bed.

    shedding, shedding, shedding...

    So how long will the winter coat shed??? I went and bought 3 new lint rollers last night - 1 for me, 1 for my roommate (I feel bad because she's always got white hair on her too!) , and one just for rolling down Chloe! I've also got to do some serious cleaning on all the furniture - any ideas...

    Cats and stuffed animals?

    Wow, I had no idea that so many cats did this! We always had outdoor cats growing up. Maybe I should stop calling her "dog" now. When she's crying around the house begging for attention I started say "dog, what's wrong?" Alright, she is a cat. You think it's just the hunt and kill instinct...

    shedding, shedding, shedding...

    Do cats normally shed a "winter coat" like dogs do? Chloe is shedding an incredible amount. It's comes out constantly, much more that I've seen with my friends cats. I've tried using those wire-bristled brushes that are supposed to help and it picks up a lot of hair, but not all. I've also...

    Cats and stuffed animals?

    My cat is such a DOG! She stole a stuffed zebra from my roommate a couple of weeks ago and then a stuffed lamb of mine and carries them all over the house, wrestles them, throws them in the air, pounces, etc. I've never seen a cat do this before! I also never have a matching pair of slippers...

    Just summertime heat???

    I haven't been around here in a LONG time because school has been insanely busy, but need advice from the experts! Chloe seems very lazy and needy the last couple of days. She has occassional spurts of her usual craziness where she hurdles a chair or plays with her stuffed animals, but is...

    excessive drinking/ thirst?

    She has the same access to everything she did before - bathtub faucet that drips and (gasp) the toilets (but to MY knowledge she's never drank from the toilet - can't quite reach yet.) I haven't noticed her peeing more or less. And she still has the same litter box routine.

    excessive drinking/ thirst?

    Chloe is now almost 5 months old. This past week I've noticed that I'm filling up her water bowl more often than normal. Normally I fill it to the rim when I go to bed at night and by the next night it still has 1/4 - 1/2 left in it so I top it off. For about the last week I've been...

    cat food brand that doesn't smell?

    Well, I was trying to simplify things for myself so I mixed both of them together in a container a couple of weeks ago so there's no going back! I had bought the Purina and Chloe's foster mom gave me the science diet when i picked her up. I didn't want to just suddenly change her food when she...

    cat food brand that doesn't smell?

    Thanks. I do prefer dry food, just because it's easiest/cheapest for me (sorry Chloe!) She doesn't seem to be a picky eater though. I am learning that cheap is not the way to go on most things - i.e. litter! I may try the Royal Canin's next time. I looked at it last time I was at PetsMart...

    cat food brand that doesn't smell?

    So if I went with straight Science Diet or something like that it might be better? Are most of the foods at PetsMart made with no by-products? I do need kitten food though, she's only 4 months. Unfortunately there's not really anywhere else to put her food. It needs to be in my room because...

    cat food brand that doesn't smell?

    My cat's food bowl is only a couple of feet from my bed. Unfortunately the smell of it is really getting to me and I don't have anywhere else to put it. I'm currently using a mix of Science Diet and Purina Kitten Chow. Does anybody have a suggestion for something that doesn't have an odor?
