    How do I make my kitten use her bed?

    I always try and let my cat pick his own stuff at the petstore and when he was a little kitten he picked out a bed at the petstore that he really seemed to like. Then he proceeded to sleep in the the entire time we were at the store. When we got the bed home, he decided sleeping on the floor...

    Ok, that's it!

    I've seen some stuff for leather jackets but I'm sure it would work for a couch also. I can't remember what it's called anymore but it's a paste like substance that you spread in the scratch. The kit comes with some texture pads, you pick the one that matches your leather finish and just push...

    Cut her nail too close

    She'll probably be a little leary for a while if you touch the claw, but I doubt she'll hold a grudge. The styptic power is to stop the bleeding as if you really cip into the "quick", it'll bleed pretty bad. I doubt you did much damage if it didn't bleed much and stopped quickly. On the...

    Giving table food for a treat

    Not to bring back an old thread but I find it quite intersting that the book suggests all cooked meats. I wonder why the think cooked meat is better than raw. I mean, it's not like it's more work to feed them raw. And I have yet to see a wild cat cook anything before they eat it. The only...

    How can you tell if your cat is getting enough water?

    Adding wet food really helps hydration. There's also no reason you can't hydrate their dry food to increase their water intake. Just keep in mind that you shouldn't leave wet food of any kind out for them for more than 30 minutes. This includes hydrated wet food. My cats on a raw diet rarely...

    In love with the....shower?

    Both of my cats will sit outside the shower while someone is using it, but that's where the similarities end. Nermal will not enter the shower while it's running or if you are even in there with the water off, but as soon as you leave he jumps in and plays in the water on the bottom. Milo on...

    Our cat is obsessed with computer- causing problems!

    Set your screensaver to password protected. If your cat can guess your password then you have one smart kitty. If you have windows XP, windows key L will bring up the login screen without closing any open applications. If you don't have a password set however, hitting enter will still log...

    Ripley was making really weird noises at another cat

    I'd love to see that. Sitting at the window looking at someone outside and making all kinds of funny noises.

    Why is cat burying food?

    That sounds so cute. My cats always make the motions of covering their food or water but since the bowls are on linolium they don't make any progress. It's so funny watching them try though. I laugh so hard if they covered the dishes with items they found around the house though.

    Studies on dry food and teeth

    Some good points in here. Sharky probably already knows what I'm going to say. Dry food is not the best for your cats. As everyone else is realizing, it doesn't clean their teeth in any way. Watch your cat eat some dry, most of them don't even bite it, it's down in one piece. Also, pieces...

    Giving table food for a treat

    I you like to give your cats a treat that's cool, just make sure it's not something that's harmful to them. Meat will never be an issue but the sauces or seasonings could be. It's best to give them a plain piece. Even better, give them a couple raw pieces before you cook them. It's better...

    black light, how to use?

    It's pretty hard to see on bright colors or fabrics that also glow under blacklights. You can't really get a defective blacklight unless it doesn't turn on or is just a purple bulb. If it's a fluorescent style like all the ones I've seen, it's all good. Urine stains are usually a yellowish...

    bouquet question

    Until you can find out what it is, move the plant out of reach. I've lost a cat to a plant toxin and it's an awful thing to happen. Keep an eye on your girl and if she starts acting abnormal in anyway, make a vet appointment ASAP and take some of the plant with you. You're arrangement looks...

    Advice Please...

    Did the vet mention anything about giveing the mdeciation with or without food? You can always call and ask but most medication is okay to be take with food or a drink. If you can mix it with something that they'll drink then I'm sure that's fine. I find petromalt a good mixer for liquids...

    Good Flea Spray?

    Just to add, DE will also help with a lot of other insects in your yard like ants, spiders, beetles, and anything else that gets into it.
