    Opinion poll about indoor vs outdoor cats, behaviorally speaking

    That's awful. There was a cat for adoption on a non profit organization I watch online that had her tail cut off too. She was fine but how cruel can one be? My cats are indoor and for several reasons. Location-wise there is a large population of coyotes (I bring dog spray when I walk my cat...

    How often do you change/clean your water fountain?

    Exactly that's why I said I replace it every month. And I wash the pump too. Usually I just buy a new one after about a year, we have hard water here and the calcium becomes impossible to remove.

    How often do you change/clean your water fountain?

    I change the water out of mine every second day, give the fountain a wash one a week (and rinse the filter) and replace the filter once a month. I knew a girl who never cleaned hers or replaced the filter. When she moved out of her apartment the fountain had rotted the hardwood floor beneath it...

    Birch Tree

    That's something different than I was thinking of. If I can find that video (I watched it last March) I'll post it here anyways. Thank you!

    My CKD cat's legs getting weaker... causes??

    Any medication would be a strain on the kidney but my vet said because it's a monthly shot it's not as bad. She really was more concerned about his Amlodipine (blood pressure med) and warned that one could be what affects his kidneys the most. He had a full panel done last December he is still...

    Fortekor Prescription for CKD was Delayed

    I had an issue with a delay in getting my cat's potassium supplement, and I ended up giving him half a dose for a few days to avoid cutting him off completely. I'm not sure if that was the right thing to do or not but it made sense to me. Definitely ask your vet when they call back tho. It's so...

    Birch Tree

    I watched a video on the build of one of those, that would be way too complicated for me. I hope you get a chance to build one.

    My CKD cat's legs getting weaker... causes??

    It didn't get worse rapidly but the onset was fast. He seemed fine one month and then the next month he started to fall, it happened sometimes a few times a day. Nile has always been the most agile cat out of all the ones I've had in my life. That's when I took him in to get looked at and they...

    My CKD cat's legs getting weaker... causes??

    My cat has stage 2 kidney disease. He also has wobbly back legs. It's muscle deterioration and the onset of arthritis. My vet prescribed him a monthly shot called Solensia and it has worked wonders. It's quite pricy however (at least here in Canada) but I think it's worth it. He went from...

    Birch Tree

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! I still have half of the cement forming tube left, I might make a bed for them out of it. If I do I'll post it here too.

    The coloured sisal is pricy too. I wanted some green but when I saw the price I was like, forget it. Beige is fine!

    Birch Tree

    Last year I decided to attempt a DIY cat tree. It took me about a week to build, working on it from 2 to 3 hours per day. It's made of birch branches, wood cookies and pre-cut wood slabs wrapped in sisal. The round tube is made from a concrete form tube. I'm pretty proud of it and the best part...
