My mother in law has a declawed cat that came to her that way when someone no longer wanted it and threw it outside on the street. She is a biter, my mother in law can not use regular litter as the cat will not scratch in it so she uses shredded newspapers.   The poor cat sits and holds her...

I can not have a house plant in my house unless it is hanging from the ceiling away from anything they can jump from to reach it. I had a lucky bamboo. Poor thing didn't look so lucky after they ate the tips off all the leaves. I moved that thing everywhere around my house and they'd find it and...

This is going to sound sad lol. I had a queen sized bed before. When I needed to buy a new bed I bought a king sized bed for me and the cats because all 8 of them like to sleep with me and the queen sized bed was cramped. With the King sized bed I am STILL allowed one small edge of the bed...

I have 8 cats. I feed them temptations a couple of times a week. My oldest is 14 the next oldest is 9 and the others are 5. None have kidney issues. This is like saying eating Twinkies give you diabetes. No, the Twinkies don't give you diabetes, the Twinkies cause issues if you already have...

On top of food and litter. If I were to add up yearly vet check ups, toys, trees, fancy water fountains and treats. I am liable to pass out. I never ever add those up. My cats are spoiled like my children so when I go to the store I am known to spend $40-$50 on just darn toys I see that they...

I have 8 cats. I feed Blue Buffalo wilderness dry and Natural Balance canned the 5.5 oz cans. In dry food a month I spend approx $64.00, wet food is $140 and litter is anywhere between $36-$45. I get litter at sams club and 48 lbs is usually $15 but do find it on sale some months for $12. I go...

Could you maybe offer to foster a kitty from the shelter? If you end up liking the kitty and it helps your other kitty you could adopt it. This way you wouldn't have the long term commitment and could also see if that would help. 

I had a cat get stuck in my vent system. Make sure you watch her for coughing. I had to take mine to the ER vet because all of the dust and stuff that was in the vent system got in his lungs and he ended having trouble breathing. We had to put him on antibiotics and an inhaler to clear the junk...

I have had my spay female cat since the day she was born. My brother in law is a mailman and found 6 3-4 week old kittens and brought them to me. My female hissed at first for a few days then the next thing I know she had jumped into the kitten pen and was letting them nurse her even though she...

In my home I have a large open area with a drop that is 18 feet to the ceramic tile below. The stair case runs the whole upstairs area and is about 4 1/2 tall.I was so afraid my cats were going to jump up on the ledge get spooked and lose their footing and fall off the stair railing. I went to...

I don't do any unless it is needed. My cats are all strictly indoors and we have a couple of what we call  cat blockers (screened front porch, screened back porch) so the chances of them getting outside even on accident is almost 0 they would get in the screen room but no further and even that...

I had said in an earlier reply that I use broth mixed with the crushed pills.  Right now I have a kitty on 2 tabs of clavimox, 1 pred and 2 1/2 ccs of Panacur. She takes the Panacur once a day and the clavimox 2xs a day. She has respiratory issues so any stress makes her cough and get winded...

Yes that is exactly what they look like!

I have had Matty for about 2 years now. Her name will be obvious once you hear her story. I was walking around outside when I spotted these eyes looking out at me from some bushes in my yard. I tried talking to them but couldn't get them to come out. I started placing plates of canned and dry...

I have a cat with asthma the vet suggested i use a pellet or crystal type litter. We tried it she wouldn't use it so the vet told me use what she will use but leave the lid off so when she scratches the dust disperses around her instead of getting trapped with her under the litter hood.  We have...
