We found a very small kitten at work yesterday and could not find any signs of other cats. It was very cold and unhappy. We scooped him up and warmed him and I took him home. I stopped by the vet and they said he looks healthy, doesn't have a temperature and looks to be about 3 weeks. We've...
Still hanging out in the computer room with the litter box since I have most of the other doors with cool hiding spaces closed. I occasionally bring her food and water in so she can have a snack but I know for sure she's been to her food dish herself. Baby steps.
This time it's a good one! Emma is in the windowsill, I'm at the desk, Dexter is on the floor asleep. She let him sniff her a few times and hopefully she'll figure out he's not too interested. I've closed all the bedroom doors so she can't hide in another room except the kitchen, bathroom...
Emma ventured around in the bedroom last night while Dexter was crated but obivously did not eat any food today while he was crated. She was in the closet when I got home. I moved her to the room where her litter box is and brought in her bowls of food and water. She also went to the bathroom...
It doesn't appear that she's eaten anything. A few minutes ago, I took her the food and water in the closet (it's a pretty large walk-in closet off from our bathroom) and she ate and drank immediately.
I've put Dexter in another room and brought her out but she's wide-eyed, scared and...
We brought home a medium size dog this weekend from the SPCA. Dexter is a 8-12 month old Lab/Hound and is very friendly towards Emma, our 4-year old cat who has been the only pet for 2 years. Dexter has only been around her a few times that she's crept out but Emma has been in hiding since...
Emma barfed a tape worm awhile back. Apparently she got it from a mouse she caught a few months before. I called the vet and he didn't need to see her. He prescribed a one-dose treatment. It was a tiny red pill but I don't know what it was called. I don't recall it being expensive at all...
My online friend's pet died and I would like to send her an appropriate ecard expessing my sympathy. Although a regular sympathy card would work, a pet-related one would be nice. Thanks.
Emma is very vocal. Although I have no idea what she's saying, I can tell my her meow what she wants. She has all sorts of meows and when I ask her if she's hungry, she has one that sounds like "yeahhh....". LOL.
How about a leash? I've heard of people putting their cats on leashes so they...
Does anyone notice changes in their cats when the temperatures change or it's super gloomy outside? In Virginia, we've had more rain than sunshine in the past two months (15 out of 21 days in June were rain). And on the days that we don't have rain, it turns super-hot. It's the most ridiculous...
Kilz does work very well for saturated plywood that is underneath carpet. Before moving into an apartment, we had to do the same thing. I wouldn't take Marshmellow until it's carpeted. The smell won't last forever but she might lick it. Be sure to open windows and use fans to get the smell...
We have a four year old cat named Emma. We rescued her from the SPCA two years ago. She is a wonderful cat....very active and loving. We would like to get another cat, and probably rescue another young adult female. What are the best steps in doing this? Emma has been around other cats and...
