One of my cats recently developed dandruff. I don't think it's due to diet, since he's been on the same diet for years and this is a pretty new phenomenon. He might not be drinking enough, however. I don't see him drink very much. The weather around here has been a bit crazy, too, and is...

Well, at least he knows what it's for! I currently have a clawfoot tub and a stand-up shower, but at our old place we had a normal tub with shower. When Max was a baby, he'd sit in the end of the tub and watch while I showered. When he got older, he just sat on the edge between the two...

Since she seems to like to go outside, it may not be difficult. Getting her to use a cat door may take some training though, unless she's already used to that.

Is she declawed? If so, I would not let her be an outdoor kitty. She'd be better placed in a homme where no one is allergic. Feral and territorial neighborhood cats will beat up on her, and she'll be more likely to get diseases. If she can defend herself she's less likely to get beat on...

Also, move your objects off the shelves he enjoys the most and put a deterrant there, like double-stick tape or tinfoil so he won't go there. When he learns to avoid the shelf you can put the stuff back. I found that my boys wouldn't attempt to climb or jump on skinny or shallow bookshelves...

Milo chirps to say "Hello! Look at me!" Then he'll talk away with me. Grooming between my cats always initiates wrestling/playtime. There are several different meows for each cat: Max's loud Mrrrrrrrrr = I don't like this, put me down. Max's whiney Mroowrow = I want to go outside. Max's...

I think that we as humans think that if we wouldn't like it, neither would the cat. I found this to be absolutely false both when bringing the kittens home and when we moved to a new house. If I left them in a smaller room, they were much more calm. It was a new territory to explore and sniff...

When we got Milo, Max was almost a year old. We kept Milo and a temporary litter box in our bedroom since we had a one bedroom apartment. It was not ideal, but we put up with it. Max was a little grumpy and unsociable before we brought Milo home (he still is). I was worried with how he'd...

Testing

Tried once, and Max was traumatized for life. I wanted to get him dry quickly, but he didn't like the noise! Ever since then, it's towel drying. They are ticked off from the bath and cold, so they just snuggle deep into the towel while I snuggle them and dry them off.

I've seen it before. Max tried to nurse a couple of times after we brought him home (his mother weaned them late). I had a coworker who's sisters cat would try to nurse on a giant teddy bear whenever the baby cried. She'll probably grow out of it

My boys groom me ocassionally, too. Usually my nose or my hands, though. Especially if I've put on lotion. Milo will sniff my hands, make a face like "Ew!" then start licking my hands like "What have you gotten into? I'm always having to clean you up...."

This morning I was paying the bills, and Milo decided that the envelopes tasted very good and went to town licking the adhesive strip. Since it's not toxic to us, it should be ok for the cat, right?

I second the no scratch by pet organics. It worked very well for scratch training for my boys.

He used to sleep on that chair a lot (with that fleece blanket that is HIS and he hisses if anyone else uses it lol). But now that we've moved he likes to sleep in front of the heat register.
