Hi. I just found out I'm pregnant, and read extensively online about the risk of toxoplasmosis. I know all about having someone else clean the litter box, or wearing gloves while doing so, washing my hands thoroughly after handling cats and raw meat, etc. My two cats are indoors (always have...
Hi! My husband and I are soon to get a new kitten as a companion to our 1-year-old neutered male. I've been reading articles, but the methods seem impossible to do in my situation. I live in a one bedroom apartment (not a very large area) and don't know how to go about keeping the two cats...
I bought a box of the Arm & Hammer Brand--seems to be working great, and my cat Noki doesn't seem to mind the new litter. Thanks so much for your suggestions! I shaved about half the cost of litter by switching!!
I've been thinking of switching over to Arm & Hammer. The dry-stall stuff sounds interesting. I live in San Luis Obispo--I think that's pretty horse-country enough!
Hi! Being a mere college student, I am continually looking for ways to cut costs. Currently, I use Everclean cat litter, but I'm curious to find out if any of the cheaper brands (Step Fresh, Arm & Hammer, etc.) are any good. I'm a bit leery about the quality of those sold in supermarkets, and...
My mother-in-law was watching a documentary about lions, and apparently, they smell through their mouths also. It's so funny when our cat does this. I don't understand why they enjoy smelling disgusting things, like shoes, socks, and other animal's butts!

A friend of...
Oh yes, his tale is always in that upside-down U shape when I come into a room. So that's a good thing, huh? =)
If you don't mind, HFrodoC, I would like the name of that book you're reading! I've been looking for good resources for cat body language. And to correct myself, I haven't been...
My cat Noki reacted very strangely the other day. He plopped down into a chair, and being so cute, I couldn't resist petting him. Everything was going fine, and then I started doing that "eye thing" with him--you know, where you look at your cat with squinty eyes, and they do the same to you...
Hi, I'm new to the site! My 10-mo old kitty has a weird drinking fetish where he'll drink water from any source other than his water bowl. I clean his bowl, refill it with fresh water every day (sometimes twice daily), and have even poured bottled water into his bowl, thinking that he doesn't...
