    Need some recommendations on cat hair removal tool

    Hello folks, I have a 2yr old ragdoll and I am in need of a good tool to remove excess cat hair from my couch and other furniture. There are so many out there in a variety of prices, but I have no idea what would be the best one to use. Can anyone give some recommendations please? Thank you...

    How to keep cat off kitchen counters

    I do not leave any food accessable on the countertops unless in a secure container. Since my dishwasher is broken, I hand wash all my dishes. I thought about him possibly getting into dirty dishes, so now I wash every dish immediately and put it on the drying rack. I think what he is going up...

    How to keep cat off kitchen counters

    Now that Sid is feeling better, he goes up on the kitchen counters when I am on the computer, asleep, or at work. He knows he isn't supposed to be there because as soon as he hears me get up from my chair, he jumps down and runs under the bed. However, he continues to go up there. The proof...

    Meet Sid

    Update from the Vet visit: Sid was quite nervous going to the Vet, but he was a good boy on the table. The checkup was good as he had no severe problems. Just a confirmed URI which I was given some pill meds, Lysine, and eyedrops to give him. I pill popper is impossible to give him direct...

    Meet Sid

    Poor Sid developed a URI I believe. Last couple of days he has been sneezing up a storm and his eyes look a little puffy. I've got a Vet visit scheduled tomorrow, so hopefully it isn't anything too bad. He is in great spirits though. Still very talkative and loves to stay with me To keep...

    Meet Sid

    It definitely did not take long at all for him to come around. He still goes under the bed on occassion, but is coming out much more. I heard ragdolls like to follow their owner around and I would never have privacy in the bathroom again. They weren't kidding, LOL. His personality is...

    Meet Sid

    Yeah, he is a big boy. I would guess about 15lbs. He is still a little skittish, but he is starting to come around. He got to meet my GF last night and suprisingly, he was extremely friendly with her. We were watching TV and he came out and jumped on the couch with us. His hair is very fine...

    Meet Sid

    I just adopted Sid this last Saturday. He was so quiet on the 1 1/2 hour drive home. Not a single peep. It took a few days for him to adjust and start feeling comfortable to come out more. He is so affectionate and such a great cat. He likes to talk to me when he wants me to pet him.

    Need help finding a specific breed

    Yeah, I have been putting some thought into this. Especially after looking around my apartment to see what mischief a little kitten could get into. I have a lot of electronics and wires that I can see him or her getting into. Being able to see the personality from a slightly older standpoint...

    Need help finding a specific breed

    Her and I talked about the possibility of a cat being around if her and I were to have a baby. We both agreed to restrict the cat from the baby's room during infancy. She would never force me to get rid of my cat though cause she knows how much it means to me to have a cat around. I grew up...

    Need help finding a specific breed

    My GF is very stubborn and hard to sway when her mind is made up. However, her decision was quickly changed when she realized that I would actually reconsider being with her if I was not allowed to have a cat again. I miss my old Maine Coon. He was such a big baby (about 18lbs) too. He was a...

    Thank you for the suggestion, but that is a bit farther out than I was looking. I've been checking various breeders, rescue places, and humaine society sites in Texas, and Oklahoma. The closer to home, the better of course. That video was great. Bennie is such a loving cat.
