Lisa, The way I look at it, if you didn't let your teenagers drive they'd be safer and live longer, right? I absolutely adore my Molly but she wats to go out on the patio and in the yard to climb trees, lie in the sun and chase lizards. I do make her come in at night because I worry about...

I bought one of those carpeted cat playground things at Costco for $35 which ws a great deal by the way. I just yelled at my cat if she scratched anywhere else and praised her when she used the "playground". It did not take long ..3 or 4 days and she is good most of the time. almost all of the...

Hi JoJo, I appreciate your comments but either my cat is a lot different, I am or most likely both. Molly DEMANDS atention I do draw the line eventually .. She has gotten me up the past two nights. I awake to "meow meow" .. loud too. She is laying on her back on the carpet at the foot of the...

Vikki, I really would like to take my cat with me on occasion. This is my first cat and I adore her. In the past I had dogs and it is nice to be able to take them with you at least once in a while. I also feel a little badly leaving her alone when I'll be out for the entire day.. She is not...

I am sorry to hog all the space here but being new and a new cat owner I have not had a place to ask questions ...except of the college kids who work at the pet store and what do they know??! I live in Southern California and it's true, we are a little "different" around here. You know how...

Thanks Vikki! I have heard all of that stuff about sleeping 18 hours and all. On Saturday and Sunday, when I am home from work, I watch "Molly" and she maybe takes an hour nap after lunch but she hunts in the backyard all day and goes to bed when we do. I guess cats vary in how much sleep...

Cats ARE amazing. As I am a science\ ature fan .. not a pro but all I watch on TV is the Science Channel, Discover, etc. I have read a lot recently on cat capabilities. Did you know they can move their paws 15 times faster than we can move our arms? I read one comment somewhere that said...

I see you have two cats. I tried that. I figured that Kitty was lonely. When I brought the new one in (after spending a fortune on the vet, shots, etc., my Kitty screamed and howled, cried and made it so abundently clear that she did not want company ... that I found anoother home for the...

Our much loved Kitty (2 year old female calico) sleeps with us, at least she is supposed to SLEEP with us! She spends most of the day on our large fenced patio chasing birds, catching a few unfortunately, catching lizards and climbing up the fence to spy on neighborhood dogs. She has very busy...

You have it easy, Puffkitty. My little Darlin' brings the victims into the house and scares the Heck out of my wife. I mean these lizards she brings in bite ...hard. They have a beak, no teeth I can see but they draw blood. She doesn't eat them, kill or hurt them ..she brings them in to play...

My cat does seem to be much more "obediant" .. like a dog would be. We take her in at night. She spends the day mostly on our patio and in the backyard but she can and does get over the fence ocasionally. At night we have coyotes roaming around and they eat cats so Molly spends the evening...

I was told by a clerk at PetsMart that cats are so smart that if you bell them they just learn how to hunt birds without ringing the bell. Besides, what do birds know about bells anyway?! I think my cat climbs up the trees and gets the birds early in the morning or at dusk when they are not...

I have never had a cat before ... until I was adopted a few months ago by a young calico female. Now I am in love! I had no idea cats were such intelligent, communicative and affectionate animals. She has become my best buddy. I garden a lot and she is right there with me, planting, watering...

t first I thought she had been abandoned but it turns out neighbor had a bunch of cats and dogs and this one had "territory issues" and wanted out. My neighbor was moving soon and said 'take her". Boy, am I glad I did! I had no idea cats were such intelligent, communicative and affectionate...
