Thank you for your thoughts. In a couple of months, around Christmas time, he's going to have to go to my boyfriend's mother's house. We're all leaving the country for a few weeks, including my family, so he's got nowhere to be. The point of mentioning this is that her house is much much...

No, he's not declawed. I would never declaw a cat, I firmly believe it's inhumae and nothing short of surgical torture. I'm sorry if I offend someone by saying that, but I just think it's so horrible to do to an animal and I can't believe people would do that. I think he has a yearly check-up...

His name is Cornelius, or Neil for short. He hasn't had a check-up in the past few months, about 5? He had a follow-up about two months after his neutering, everything checked out. We do use the squirt bottle on him, to deter him from going up on the kitchen counter where he can hurt himself...

His mom and dad at the breeder were very nice cats, big, but nice. And, for clarification, by "picking up" I mean picking up and moving to your lap or something like that. Not like just holding him in the air, they're big animals and I understand how it's uncomftorable for them. But even so...

So a little more than a year ago we got a 3.5 month old Maine Coon from a breeder. The breeder is reputable and the cat was very kind in it's first two months or so when he was very small. Then his behavior began to turn sour. He did not want to be held ever, would not sit with us, run away...

I realize that cats and dogs have very obvious differences. Unlike a dog cats will not look to you as their lord and master, and so on. I also know that cats aren't pack creatures, so I realize the dominance thing may not be as applicable. However, I feel like our cat doesn't view us at all...

My Maine Coon is seven months old and 90% of the time he's psycho. Sometimes when he just wakes up he's lovey and will let you hold/pet him and will rub up against you. Other than that he runs around like a madman sprinting around the house, runs up to people's (socked) feet and just bites and...

Does anyone have advice for leash training their cat? We got Cornelius used to wearing his collar but when the leash was attached he freaked out. Advice?

Good info there on the meds, but not so much for my first question if it's necessary or not. Any opinions?

Two questions for all of you wiser and experience cat people: 1) My cat is an indoor cat, save for going to the vet he never goes outside, does he really need an anti flea/tick/whatever med? - We do live in an area with some strays outside, though we don't normally interact with them - We live...

Oh! I have some of these for my kitten, he's absoutely addicted to them, they're like catnip in toy form. I really recommend them for anyone who has playful cats or kittens!

So my kitten is a healthy 5.5 month old Maine Coon boy. We got him when he was a little more than 13 weeks old from a reputable breeder. Nothing but love and happiness. He is always crazy! He sprints from one room into the other, attacking anything that moves, or doesn't move, so attacking...

Will his drinking interest create a problem with the ability to train him to use the toilet?

So my little boy apparentally likes to drink from the toilet. My roomate mentioned it to me once but I've never really seen it myself, then last night I saw it myself. And not only did he go for the toilet once, but twice! I make sure his water bowl is clean and fresh with water daily. He...

I've read some places that it can be bad for your cat because of risk of injury and awkard positioning, anyone know anything on this?
