Our cat Kipper plays fetch with Hair Elastics.  It is quite fun and really the only 'Toy' he likes.  He will bring one and drop it at your feet and talk to you until you throw it for him.  He also will try to pull them out of my ponytail if he doesn't have his own.  It is quite fun play as he...

She is obviously a climber, and the only real solution is to probably give her something else to climb.  We have a chair rail that goes around our whole living room & dining room.  Our little guy loves to climb up there and walk the perimeter.  You should put up some climbing shelves so she has...

This rather far fetched idea that a cat would suffocate a baby on purpose is an old wives tale that has no real basis.  Of course it is best that kitty isn't permitted to sleep with the baby in it's crib for the same reason that you don't fill a crib with pillows, stuffed animals and blankets. ...

Just a thought.. if he is eating the wet food without issue, then maybe there is pain with the dry hard food.  Try feeding him twice (or 3 times because he is still a kitten) a day with the wet food only.  If he is eating that, then he is getting all the nutrition he needs.  He may be more...

The Harness training is the best idea... and it should be a longer transition.  He will have to learn about the out of doors and how to conduct himself.  Get him used to the harness indoors first.  When he is comfortable, Attach his tether and leave the door open, and see what he does.  I have...

Has anyone heard of using Ozonated Olive Oil as an alternative to the annual Deworming/flea/tic meds?  I'd read that you can just put some on their paw, or somewhere where they can lick it off every few months.  Our kitty is due soon, and I am really hoping I can use something natural like this...

We have a siamese and he is VERY talkative, and LOVES to be held by anyone who will pick him up - family and friends alike, will find a high perch and jump onto your shoulder for a ride whenever he can.  He is an indoor outdoor cat, and has recently decided that we won't be allowed to leave in...

Just a note on the food.  We've had our Kipper on Raw frankenprey since we got him.  I have read that Siamese (not sure about Ragdoll) are prone to kidney issues, and making sure they are hydrated is really important.  There is lots of info on raw food in the forums if you want to look.  We...

Hi Amelia, Sorry I didn't see that you'd reported on the neuter.  The reason I ask is because we got our male Siamese at about 14 weeks, and at about the same time frame as you he started Peeing and sometimes Pooping in some nice choice spots - obsessively so on the peeing.  He still went to in...

Has he been neutered?

How has the retraining been going?

Cats are creatures of habit.  Our little guy's daily routine is like clockwork. It is a habit for your little one to go out at night, and you are going to have to take a few days or a week to retrain.  Start it on your weekend when you can sleep in for a couple of days in a row. Make sure he...

Just had to share.  We've had Kipper for less than a year.  Siamese x... very cool cat.  My kids had a sleepover at their grandparents and got back yesterday evening.  My youngest,5, had fallen asleep in the car on the way home, and didn't come in with everyone else.  When he was awake enough to...

I am also a Newfie... but not a dog LOL.  My first memory of a Newfoundland dog was when I was 7.  My friend had one - quite young.. maybe 2 years old physically grown but a puppy nature, I walked over to her house and he came bounding out to greet me... which included standing up to put his...

I think  you need to not give him access to the room that he is spraying in.  Our little guy wasn't spraying, but peeing.  Once he'd peed in a spot he would return and pee repeatedly.  This included my son's bed.  We didn't restrict access to any other part of the house... Just the kids room...
