I just brought our 9 month old home from a 2 night stay at the hospital... he was eating a mix of Iams original and Iams kitten dry foods full time, supplemented with a non-byproduct wet food in the evening which he usually didn't eat all of. The day after I opened two new bags of Iams, mixed...

We noticed our 9 month old neuter Siamese Koda was lethargic on Saturday and had thrown up several times over night. Nothing in his environment had changed, except: I buy kitten & adult iams dry and mix it together since I figured it would be a happy medium for he and his adult sister to eat...

We have a similar problem, only our little guy (who was fixed two months ago) pee's on the sofa. He pee'd there three times since we got home from the store this afternoon! It seems completely behavioral... he never does it when we're not home, but as soon as we come through the door he's...

Here's two photos showing three of the cats. It sort of looks like they may need treatment for URI but that's not a big deal. The people that are trying to help spread the word said they'll help by driving the cats out to adoptive homes out of the area, which I presume means within reasonable...

I found this on another site out there and couldn't find a good place for it here, but knew it needed to be here somewhere. Sorry if it's been posted already, I didn't see it when I scanned for it.... ____________________________ Dear Best Friends Members, For years, the Magills have lived...

I'm certainly no expert but I'm in the process of getting my own Holly used to her new younger brother. On Friday he will have been here three weeks, and even with keeping him in the bedroom during the day (allowing them closely supervised visits throughout the evenings), they still don't get...

LOL!!!! Our five month old has started doing that to me. I don't think he likes my hairdo as he doesn't do it to hubby (whose head is shaved). This afternoon as I stood up from the sofa, he jumped and tried to land on my shoulder. Didn't work out too good for him! He's just a nutcase kitten...

MooCow hated it when we were both on the computers and not paying any attention to him. He would often go into the kitchen (maybe because he knew the acoustics were better LOL) and meow LOUDLY to let us know he was displeased. I often thought he was quite silly for it! When we put up webcams...

We bought one two years ago. Our cats have loved it especially when they're kittens, but once they were pushing 2 years they only played with it on rare occasions. Right after we bought it when our first cat was only 6 months old, we said it was well worth the $8 we paid for it in (human)...

I'm glad things look like they're starting to go better. He will live a much healthier, and likely much longer life living indoors so you definitely did the right thing bringing him in!

Ditto on the smaller trash bins throughout the home... couldn't use bags in them. We had one who would eat them and one that's fascinated with playing with anything wrapped in plastic, so those are basically banished for all time.

MooCow's toy of choice was a scrunchie... which he loved to play fetch with and tear at with his teefers. At first he didn't like the new ones but it helped when I rubbed it all over him when I took it out of the package. He went through several of them (it was his security blankie, he started...

The first several months can be like living with a toddler. They're constantly into things they shouldn't be, breaking things, chewing things, and zipping around like their hind end is on fire. It's especially lovely that they usually don't know how to handle their claws yet. People can...

Our girl came down with an URI last month. It started with lots of sneezing, progressed into lethargy and sneezing, and finally added runny eyes to the mix. I took her to the vet the day after she started sneezing and she didn't have a temp then. Even on antibiotics her symptoms got a little...

I'm venting right there with ya. We've had our new little boy for just two weeks as of tonight... and when his new big sister isn't around he is just the silliest little sweet purr ball of a kitten. BUT, when she comes around he gets visibly nervous. She was always dominant with the last male...
