Once again, our little orange kitty Squeaky has out-foxed us when it comes to taking him to the vet!    He needs his rabies and feline distemper shots, but getting him to the carrier is next to impossible!  The very thought of going in sends him to the nearest hidey-hole, where he is JUST out of...

For Squeaky and Bella, Friskies Party Mix is their favorite by far!   Bella will eat almost anything, but Squeaky is particular about his treats: he is especially fond of the Party Mix Original flavor.

My apartment is about to be treated for bugs and we need to get our cats out of there for several hours.  The hitch is that one of our cats, Squeaky, does not like any change in his routine.  He is a "deli-cat" and needs special attention...What kind of kitty sitter should we get?  And how do we...

Our female cat, Bella, has been scratching in places where she shouldn't.  We have discussed the possibility of de-clawing her, which is not a happy thought at least.  I would like some alternatives to de-clawing for her - we love her too much!    

Bella is home! Last night, I heard plaintive meowing at our front door.  Where was it coming from?  I opened the door and in stepped little Bella, none the worse for wear but really hungry; the first thing she did was EAT!   We were just so delighted, and relieved, to see her again.   That...

I am crushed over the sudden disappearance of our one year old kitten, Bella.  On Labor Day, we discovered that our living room window had been accidentally cracked ajar, and we discovered Bella was missing.  We looked all over the apartment building, but she was gone.  We have posted on-line...

Our newly spayed female kitty Bella, aka Isabella Charlotte, is part Abyssinian and she climbs a lot.  She will climb to the top of our old secretary with just one leap!  When she comes down , we hear it -THUD! However, she got naughty yesterday, when she knocked over my bedroom lamp - CRASH!  ...

Isabella Charlotte, also known as "Bella" or "Bell-Bell"!   She is quite a handful of kitten. and she loves to eat!  She is also smart as a whip!  

We need to take our beautiful Squeaky to the vet for his annual checkup.  However, he has managed  to outfox us five times in a row when we try to put him in the carrier.  We've tried to sneak up on him while he was snoozing, we've tried to bring the carrier to him and we've tried treats, but...

I am a little concerned about Squeaky - he shakes his jaw when he opens his mouth.  He eats, drinks, plays, sleeps and plays vigorously with his new playmate Bella, but this has come up lately. Is this something to worry about?  If anyone has any answers, let me know - thanks!
