    Neighbor in hospital - need advice

    Yea, those time periods seem to be about what I've been experiencing. Yes I actually read the bag and stirred it up. I am used to clumping litter so I had to make sure I understood how this stuff worked. I still want to know what the blue things are in that stuff I will keep you all updated...

    Neighbor in hospital - need advice

    Thanks for the advice. I already have two cats and I don't want to disrupt their turf, plus my mother is 80 and if anything happened to her I'm going to need to take in her cat. Now I learned the daughter that lives in town is going to India in July for a month for her job. I think it's time...

    Neighbor in hospital - need advice

    I am taking care of two cats for him while he's in the rehab hospital (he's 80). He's been there for 2+ months now, so I'm starting to be concerned about some things regarding his cats. Need two pieces of advice - A. He uses the crystals (they look blue/white) and I am not familiar with how...

    My next cat got away - sad story

    I didn't know how close the chip reader needed to be to the cat, I thought it could read through the plastic carrier. I just went with the program when she opened up the carrier. Who am I to doubt a trained professional?

    My next cat got away - sad story

    As the crow flies, it's about half a mile. But several streets with heavy traffic, lots of apts, whew, if he did make it he's going to get the royal treatment. I really would be shocked if it happened though. Maybe the vet tech should have known better, maybe I should have known better than to...

    New kittens

    I see your chair is already claimed by one. I lost my computer chair the same way, claimed by a Siamese cat.

    My next cat got away - sad story

    I had a nice cat show up last week, and he was coming around every day. He was very sweet and I could pick him up and do anything I wanted with him, very gentle. I decided to take him in, but first, since he was so gentle, I wanted to check for a microchip, I figure he must have been a pet. I...

    Over-brushing?

    Yea I know, Cosmo is an older cat and I feel some "bumps" on his back when I pull that Furminator, I halfway expect him to protest when those teeth run over the bumps (he is very skinny), but he seems to like it.

    Over-brushing?

    Hello fellow cat-people, Is there such a thing as over-brushing kitty? I got the furminator, and they both love it, but was wondering if I am over-doing it. I brush them every day, and it pulls off a lot, but is there such a thing as over brushing? Possibly damaging the coat?

    How many hairs on a cat?

    I just got through using the furminator on Cosmo, so much came off, and the thought came to mind - how many hairs are on a cat? It's not infinite, but it must be a huge number!

    Da Bird vs similar toys

    I've heard it's good, but my cats always seem to get bored with bought toys. They seem to prefer tops off of milk jugs or my shoestrings. I suppose I shouldn't complain.

    Worried:- My male cat will only eat dry?

    My boy cat wouldn't touch wet food until I got my second cat. When I started feeding her wet food, well of course he had to push her aside and have it for himself :-)
