He sleeps everywhere. On either side of my computer on the desk, on my desk chair, next to my desk on the floor, on my armchair, on my bed, on the carpet by my bed, in the little nook between one leg of the bed and my dresser which is under the bed, and behind the dresser on top of one of my...

Aww, that's so cute! Reminds me of how one of my friends was commenting on how strange it is that animals will chase lasers even though they aren't really there, and I told him that it makes perfect sense to them, because there is something there!

I think I might have seen that at the pet store where I buy Wellness for him. I'll check it out next time I'm there. Thank you!

I'm not sure what to do now though, if it seems that he is allergic to some of the ingredients. The old brand of food is new and really hard to find (closest place with it is a bit over half an hour away and I don't own a car and can't drive anyway). Do you guys know of any good food brands...

My new cat, Bandit, used to be fed a PMI Nutrition brand of cat food, but I wanted to switch him to Wellness because I can get that easily. I fairly slowly (though I could have done it slower) transitioned him from his old food to Wellness Dry (first kitten, but then switched to Adult Indoor)...

I also use a Sterilite storage container (without the lid). My cat just digs way too enthusiastically! He still tracks litter out of the box though, when he jumps out. Most of that litter stays on the old little carpet by his litter box, but some of it gets tracked. Still, it's not nearly as bad...

I'm a bit obsessive compulsive too. Thankfully, while my cat does not enjoy the cat wipes I got him, or being wiped with a tissue, he forgives me immediately after and starts purring once the cleaning turns into petting. He lives in my bedroom, as I'm a college student (moving into an apartment...

I have mixed feelings about both English and French bulldogs. They are difficult to breed, and sometimes need artificial insemination and much more often, c-sections, and they do have a lot of health issues. They are great dogs (my best friend has one of each; I like frenchies best) but I really...

Is the wet food right before you go to bed supposed to be a snack or one of its meals? I've been having issues with getting my cat to sleep through the night too. It doesn't help that I'm a college student and my schedule varies depending on the day. I'm trying to even it out though!

My current cat is an indoor only cat. He's not declawed, but I can't see him surviving very well outdoors. I had outdoor cats growing up, and they never lasted for longer than three to five years =/ They were purely outdoor cats though, and not spayed or neutered (I grew up in Ghana; spaying and...

I'd love to hear the details too, actually. My boyfriend is from Turkey and half-jokingly has offered to bring me back a kitten someday, but I imagine it would be much easier for him to get me a Turkish moggie than anything with any sort of pedigree. Your cats are beautiful, by the way. Almost...

How do you go about doing this? Just try and hope? As soon as my boyfriend has some time we're going to try the "wrap in a towel" method to trim my Bandit's claws, but that doesn't work for de-tangling his belly.

My eight month old kitten chases his tail all the time I'm not sure how long he's been doing this since I've only owned him for a week and a half, but it's one of this favorite things to do. And the first cat my family got, we picked because she was the kitten chasing her tail (and she was...

Thank you everyone! I love this site already There's lots of information and the people seem really friendly.

I'm glad to hear he'll probably calm down! Not that I don't love his activity. There's something charming about waking up at night and finding out that your cat is sitting on the back of your desk chair, attempting to catch the wind chime you have hung from your ceiling. But it would be nice if...
