    Dominating male cats. Can they switch positions?

    I'm glad your molasses still has senority over Toby! I am just afraid Tiger and Mylo's relationship will be strained as Mylo grows. Hopefully they all stay happy

    Indoor cat getting out

    My Tiger is always a good boy when I'm around, but if I leave the room or anything while the screen door's open he's out the dog door! Maybe, if you don't want to nail the window shut, you could duct tape it or block it with something. I'd definitly do something just to make sure he can't get...

    Does Milo really need castrating?

    If he goes outside neuter him. If you don't want to hear him howling to get outside, neuter him. If you want him to live a happy healthy life, neuter him. It's a cost now, but by neutering and spaying pets, it's preventing new costs down the road and preventing more kittens. Every time he mates...

    Dominating male cats. Can they switch positions?

    My cat Tiger is going to be 3 in September. He's a lean orange fluffball weighing in a 12 lbs. When Pumpkin died I guess he took over as our dominating male. When we brought the kittens home (two boys) Tiger kittenhandled them and showed them that he's boss. Well Panda Orson will never be big...

    Introducing "better" food for the cats

    Thanks Sharky! I haven't seen dry Pet Promise, so we're not going to try it. We're going to keep going back and forth with friskies and pp til the friskies are gone. (mom bought bulk a few weeks ago) I think we'll stick with Nutro dry for now since everyone likes it. thanks again

    Introducing "better" food for the cats

    My mom's always bought Friskies, but I've been reading up on the nutrients and ingredients and I really want to upgrade their food! Right now we're introducing Pet Promise by rotating PP for Breakfast and Friskies for dinner. I really want my cats to have a healthy diet with No by-products, and...

    She says she loves cats but doesn't want the responsibility

    haha, we told my mom about Lily first and the first thing she said was "don't bring her to our house." (she says she can't afford the time and money for any more cats and that I'm lucky she's said yes to my two boys in September) I spent the day at my cousin's house yesterday, and they're...

    She says she loves cats but doesn't want the responsibility

    Yeah, I don't know. I guess I just had to vent lol. I haven't talked to my cousin today. I think she's avoiding me because she knows what I feel. Oh well, I just hope she gives Lilly the life she deserves.

    She says she loves cats but doesn't want the responsibility

    My cousin and I are always talking about how people dump animals, don't spay/neuter, never go to the vets, etc. She's the one person who's always said that cats deserve better and when she sees a family that doesn't treat it right, she mentions beating them up and taking the cat for herself. I...

    5 cats, 7 litter boxes, BUT pee and poo on the floor!

    The vet knows about the stool, we've been getting blood work done and we're trying to find the right combo for the medicine. It's not looking good though, she's lost a lot of weight. I am 100% against letting cats outdoors, but my three boys were all born outdoors and lived there til I took...

    5 cats, 7 litter boxes, BUT pee and poo on the floor!

    I never even thought about that! Sandy just recently started with her runny stool and it is very stinky! As for cleaning the boxes out totally, we don't do it very often. I admit, it's mostly because I'm lazy and I hate touching the stuff. I usually only clean the boxes if they have stuff...

    5 cats, 7 litter boxes, BUT pee and poo on the floor!

    haha I must be a slow scooper, because I swear it takes 10 mins just for the 4 downstairs! But my oldest cat's medicine gives her the runs sometimes so I have to clean the smeared poo that runs down the sides and that's not fun at all! oh and I didn't mean take boxes away, I meant would adding...

    5 cats, 7 litter boxes, BUT pee and poo on the floor!

    oh my gosh, 2 times a day!? I thought 4 times a week was insane and time consuming! I suppose I'll need to start scooping more often. (I wish they'd poo during outside time) This has just recently started. Could the 4 boxes downstairs be enough for all 5? They are the most used boxes in the...

    5 cats, 7 litter boxes, BUT pee and poo on the floor!

    Recently there have been puddles and turds around the litter box areas. I have 5 cats, and no idea who is going outside the boxes. We have 2 boxes on the main floor, 1 box upstairs, and 4 in the basement. So far, they've pooped on the main floor and basement. (upstairs isn't frequently used) The...

    We are new!!!

    Oh my goodness, Mocca is the cuttest little thing! We used to have a Himalayan that looked simular, but his face was wider and maybe more fluffy. I wouldn't care what she was because she's the cutest little kitten ever! I don't understand how people can throw cats out like garbage! niki way
