    These kitties will soon die!!

    I hope it is ok to post this on here, but I e-mailed this organization in the past about a cat they had on tehir site, and they basically e-mailed me back to paypal them immediately or he'd die. I do understand that they have expenses, but the whole tone of thier communication (at least IMO) was...

    cat in heat—help

    I had my cat scheduled to be spayed exactly a week after she turned six months, and I still didn't catch her before her first heat, so don't feel too bad. You can only do your best, adn you have to trust your vet, so if you were following their advice, well you have nothing to feel guilty about...

    Best Harness for Cats?

    I have heard that the figure eight harnesses designed for cats aren't much good, and that a cat can easily escape from one. The "H" style harnesses made for dogs seem to work better, with less chance of escape. I have also seen a 'walking jacket' made for cats, which works exactly like it sounds...

    Why Kittens & Young Cats Should Be Adopted In Pairs

    Someone once said to me, imagine that as a young child you were removed from contact with all other humans. Even if you had plenty of food, water, medical care, and say contact with another species (maybe you were raised by wolves), do you think you could grow up to be a happy and well adjusted...

    Pilates??

    I love pilates. I started it I believe in January two years ago, and lost 40 pounds in only a few months. The best thing about it though is that it improved my breathing so much that I was able to give up using asthma inhalers that I had been on for 20 years!! A nice side effect for a short...

    My 7 week old kitten...

    I'm laughing at the name..Tiger Woods..lol. Seriously though, I am glad you're taking him to the vet, adn I hope he'll be back to normal soon. Seven weeks is still really small and young, so it wouldn't take much to throw his system off. The cows milk probably did it, but I'm glad you're...

    Cat food online?

    My Cinders is a chunky food girl, but she hated Spot's Stew. I tried the one that is Chicken & Clams, and I must admit I didn't like it much either. It kind of looked like someone barfed a normal meal. Neither of my boys, who are usually piggies, and will eat anything liked it all that much...

    Cat food online?

    Have you tried petfooddirect.com? If you sign up, they send loads of % off coupons (I've gotten up to 25% off), and sometimes even free shipping. They sell a lot of the harder to find foods.

    Help me name my new cat

    I'd be tempted to call her Bella, because she is so pretty. I like the name Mocha that has already been suggested though.

    Cat collars

    What kind of collar do you use? My guys generally hate collars, but they do very well with Beastie Bands. They are really lightweight, so I think once they get over the initial having them put on, they don't even notice they're there. They are stratchy, and close by velcro, so they're safe even...

    Any vacation advise?

    The best thing you can do to keep your cat happy when you are gone is to keep his routine as much the same as you possibly can. If possible, have your neighbor feed him at the same time/s he is usually fed, etc. I don't recommend leaving paper on the floor unless you want to come back to a huge...

    Bengal Cat - Driving Me Crazy Help!!!

    I have two bengals, and it sounds like your guy is fairly typical for the breed. I agree with the others who said it sounds like he is bored. The good thing is, this is easily cured. If you don't already have it, I hghly highly recommend a toy called 'Da Bird'. It's basically an interactive...
