Thank you so much for the advice I was getting to be at wits end on what to do with these two. We'll be providing a private space for her in an upstairs bedroom which should help the situation. Again, thank you. Kim

Well.....he meant well.... My Hubby has decided he likes cats - yea - good news but.... He has brought home a (unknown to him)pregnant stray who "followed him home". But I think he made a major mistake by throwing two cats together without my knowledge. This is obviously a cat who has been...

Hi Tara! Sorry to ramble...Seems you're in a bit of a bind.... There's really no hope of making Minky an indoor cat until he is neutered - and the RSPCA gives you a hassle about ownership, and refuses to neuter him, which makes him roam the neigborhood.... what a catch you're in ! IMHO, you...

I'm glad for you that Minky came home Romance is sure exhausting! Although I am somewhat at a loss how you can prove to the RSPCA that Minky belongs to you. Although I have an idea, but I don't know if it would work... I don't know if dog licenses are required in Manchester. They are...

Hi Minky is probably having a wonderful time while you are worrying. Do you know of any other persons in your neighborhood who feed strays? - its a good place to start looking for your cat. If you don't find your cat immediately, tell the kind soul who is doing this to give you a call if...

Hissy made some excellent points... Rule out UTI, for one. But what kind of litter are you using in the box? Many of the "deodorized" litters.....Fresh Step comes to mind....may smell O.K. to you, but with a cat's olfactory response being superior to humans - may be a horrendous reek to them...

When we first got our cat, we set him up in our bedroom with food and a litter box (and enough space in between)so he had a relaxing area to adjust to his new surroundings. Whenever I let the dogs out, I let the cat wander out of the bedroom to explore and get used to the dog scents. When I'd...

I've only seen something similar to this once before. It was a secondary infection from a really severe ear mite problem and the ears were really nasty-looking. But could ear mites be a culprit? I'd definitely see a vet before anything got worse. Good Luck, Kim

In the past week, our cat Boo has decided to urinate in our toilet. We're not assuming he did - we've seen this. We did not use any training techniques - he just started doing it. He still poops in his box tho. We would love for him to go "totally toilet", but I'm not sure how to encourage...

Thanks so much for your replies - i'm glad i'm not the only one with this situation. I will try the bitter spray though, and hopefully this may curb his fetish a little. Again, thank you. Kim

We adopted Boo, an (approx.) 2 yr. old male stray in October. He's been neutered and has adapted well to our family. Here's the problem - he has a obsession for small, shiny objects (jewelry, change, paperclips, etc.). He will intensely gaze at the object of his desire and then take it in his...
