My cat was never in danger using the essential oils inside. I obviously wasn't putting it on the cat or applying when the cat was nearby so there was not chance of "splashing." Toxicity is only when they are applied to the skin or ingested. Other than that, the smell can bother their sensitive...

haha anytime I call him a derogatory name it is 100% in love like "aww little kitty cat *while petting* its a good thing you're so cute you little sh*t," like when we call my nephew a little stinker :) It's never actually in anger. Update. I started letting him outside in the front (supervised)...

Haha I knew what you meant ;) If he is okay with me calling him Little Sh*t sometimes, I'm sure he doesn't mind being called Simon lol! It's a cute name. He was actually called Sleepy when we adopted him which seemed a little too on the nose for a cat name.

There isn't really a way to see the front porch from up here unless you open the door. I'm pretty sure it's just scent. Just this morning I opened the door and there was fresh urine right on my front door that could not possibly belong to my cats and Sebastian was all fluffy tailed and freaked...

I guess this isn't really caring for strays and ferals, but figured people here probably have more experience with feral cats than me. I have been dealing with my indoor kitty Sebastian marking and having inappropriate urination and defecation for what feels like forever now. It's a really long...

It's happening basically from the front door, all the way along the wall down about 15+ ft. Occasionally He has done it elsewhere around the house, but I'm pretty sure it has been quite a while since he has done that. He used to go in our closet and behind the TV and under a table in the living...

Our front door opens up right in between our "dining room" and living room. My husbands desk is to the right of the door and we have a dry bar of sorts to the left. He likes to mark the desk but I think I fixed that. We recently bought it from a friend who has 2 cats, so after I washed the whole...

Thank you CalicosRSpecial. I can't believe I am just now discovering a feral cat issue. It's been years since we've had a few cats roaming around and I haven't seen any in quite a while until the other night I saw one lurking across the street. Hopefully if I can get that cat to back off he'll...

Thank you so much Margd for those suggestions. I'll be looking into them for sure! He's only been on the buspirone for a couple weeks at this point so we're not expecting drastic results for at least a few more weeks. If after 2 months there isn't any change Prozac is the next thing to try. I...

Sounds like she has some anxiety issues. Could be caused by a number of things in her environment or her body that could be stressing her out. Cats are weird and small things can really bother them. I wonder if she is in heat too or just has crazy hormones? My female cat would make the most...

So this has been an ongoing problem that I think started when we got our 3rd cat, Sebastian, 2 years ago. We had 4 litter boxes (in our 1200 sqft apt... not a great way to live), but we still had litter box issues that I believe stemmed from aggression issues on behalf of our cat we'd had for...

Yea its a slooow process trying these things. Don't want to freak out his tiny digestive system even more than it already is. Hes just now on only blue wilderness for about a day. Vet wanted to see if there was any improvement on just kitten food so I haven't tried JUST the chicken but he's...

Thanks for the tip Krysta, I'll grab some of that Nature's Variety. I'm willing to try whatever it takes to get this little goof ball happy :-)

He sure is    He would probably be even cuter too if his bum wasn't covered in poo so often lol
