Not that I'm aware of. We always try to clean around the litter boxes with enzyme cleaner and I use basic dish soap & water for any cleaning beyond that. He seemed to be doing fine in the new house until a friend brought their toddler over, so I'm wondering if that pushed his anxiety over the...

Wow! Thank you SO much! I'll add this to my research repo & take a look at that thread & search for some others. :) You're the best.

When you say Chamomile, do you mean essential oils? I've been researching which essential oils are safe to use around the house for cleaners and linen fresheners and found mixed reviews on their effects and which ones to steer clear of. Diffusing essential oils to calm *all* of us would be so...

Hello everyone! First off, I'd like to thank all of you for reading this thread & my past threads in regards to the health of my kitties. It means a lot to me. I posted a while back about my cat, Light, who has issues with inappropriate urination. We've tried a wide variety of things to help...

Thank you so much. :hugs:

We have the same problem! I got a PUR water filter to attach to the faucet when I moved into town. We get a weird sulfur smell from our water, which if I find unpleasant to smell or drink, I could imagine how much more intense it would be for my furbabies! I did try the running water dish and...

Thanks! I read over that page a bit before posting actually. I've bookmarked it to more thoroughly pick through, especially if I ever get the time & resources to try feeding raw. An update on the situation: starting a round of antibiotics & we are 1 dose of the pain medication in. I spent a...

I would love to be able to test my kitty, Light! He looks like a Colorpoint Shorthair, but since he doesn't have any papers & was found in a trailer park in the town I used to live in, there's not much to back it up other than his appearance. He just turned 6 this year & he is the first pet that...

He looks a lot like my kitty! I agree with the previous posts: he appears to be a Colorpoint Shorthair / Lynxpoint Shorthair / etc mixed breed. Usually some sort of cross between a Siamese and a Tabby, thus the white-tiger look. Just my guess! :) Mine is a sweetheart & SO TALKATIVE.

Hey all! I've come to you with a concern for my cat's long-term health and hope that you can give me some advice. My Colorpoint Shorthair named Light has struggled with urinary issues all of his life. He used to be on grain-free hard food, which obviously worsened the issue. I got a special...

Thanks for the fast response! We do normally keep things clear but I just don't understand how it wasn't until recently that they started climbing on the counter & eating things. It wasn't really until we got a George Foreman grill & noticed that the grease was being eaten out of it that we had...

Sooo, here lately my cats have been quite rambunctious. To the point that my boyfriend wants to put the cats "in their room" while we are sleeping or at work. I feel like this is only making them more rambunctious since that means they only get to be out for about 6 hours of the day. I play with...

Oh! I have one more! This one is definitely up there on my fondest memories of my two curious kitties. So, cats are afraid of vacuums, yes? Deathly afraid. At least mine are. All you have to do is roll around the vacuum cleaner, without it being plugged in or on, and my cats go running into...

Oh my goodness, I'm always bugging my friends about what my cats have been up to. I'm not sure if I can pick out a moment to be the most funny, but I can share a recent event. My wonderful boyfriend gives our cats (Havoc the tabby & Light the lynx point siamese) a shower by holding them in the...

Light is doing much better now. I'm going to be keeping closer supervision on him to assure that the problem does not recur. It cleared up on it's own yet again. I waited a few days to make sure that it didn't puff up again before I made any appointments or have him any unnecessary home remedies...
