    Pooping Outside The Box?

    Hello Cat People, My 1 year old tordie may or may not be pooping outside the box... I find one turd outside the box about every 2 weeks. She is long haired and so I thought it was just getting stuck to her, but it is always in the same place and it is very far from the box. It's always outside...

    Science Diet?

    Thanks for the advise! I just bought a bag today and my cat and I are both not really impressed with it so far. But it was awesome to get a $45 bag of food for free! :woo: If she doesn't like it I'll just donate it to the shelter where I got her from. Thanks again.

    Science Diet?

    I am on a very tight budget and someone gave me a coupon for a free 16lb bag of Hill's Science Diet dry food from Petsmart. Yay! I'm trying to figure out what kind I should get because my cat really doesn't have a need for any kind of special diet. I was also very disappointed to find that there...

    How To Keep Kitty Safe By Windows

    You could try and see if your apartment complex will replace it. The worst thing they can say is "No." It shouldn't pop out too easily. Other than that I would just suggest watching him or leaving the window closed. My cat loves to look out the window even though it's closed. And also a collar...

    Light Greenish Greyish Poop

    Vitamins and supplements could cause it too (in humans). So if you are giving anything other than food, it could be a cause.

    Light Greenish Greyish Poop

    My only experience is with humans, but green/grey color can be caused by bile in the poop. That would mean an issue with the liver or gallbladder. However, if he just had blood-work that probably should have been detected. The other common cause in humans is that the food is moving through the...

    Keeping Her Busy While I'm At Work

    Hi there cat-lovers! I adopted my wonderful little tordie, Fiona, about a month ago. We have been having lots of fun, but I'm worried because I'm just starting my job. I'm an RN and on Monday I will have my first 12 hour shift. I will soon be working nights and that is when Fiona is most...

    Back Spasms?

    Very interesting article. She does not have all of the symptoms, but it described a rolling or rippling of the back that is exactly what I've noticed. Just a moment ago she was batting at one of my plants so I scolded her and immediately her back started spasming! The article mentioned stress as...

    Back Spasms?

    My one year old tordie has been twitching and doing weird things. This is my first cat, but I've been told it's normal for cats to twitch a little. But what is worrying me the most is that she seems to be having what looks like spasms in her back. An area about 2 inches long will rapidly move up...

    Cat Shelves

    I believe I have that exact window perch. I got mine on Amazon and I remember the picture. My cat spends most of her day on it. She's small (6lbs) but the suction cups on that perch are crazy strong! It says it can hold 50lbs and I believe it! I have noticed it gets weaker when you move it a lot...

    Litter Box Question

    Hi new cat owner here! This may be a super dumb question, but how often are you supposed to completely change out the litter in the litter box? I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere. Follow up question: What is the point of litter box liners? Can't you just dump the litter into a trash...
