Hey there! I have a polydactyl kitty as well!  She's got five (and a half?) toes on her front legs so it looks like she's got thumbs.  My sister wants to train her to give high fives :)   I just wanted to offer a little bit of advice.  Mine has five toes on the front but she has six claws! ...

My 19 year old cat had similar issues.  We noticed as he was walking around the house, he stopped walking straight through a room and would instead follow the walls around.  When you took her to the vet did you mention this?  As my cat aged he developed cataracts which is a common occurrence as...

As long as she is still eating, using the box and seems otherwise fine I wouldn't be too concerned.  She might have just found a comfortable place to sleep (my cats LOVE my closets) or may be a little overwhelmed by the company this weekend.  If she's overwhelmed I would just wait it out and let...

I adopted Tate this February so she's only been around a few months.  Her behavior is really different than any other cat I've ever had and so it's taking me forever to figure her out! TWO years?  Wow.  That does give me a lot more hope.  My family got fed up with her after a few weeks saying...

Hello! I've posted about my situation before but I'm looking for some advice on trying to assess an interesting situation.   Some quick background information:  I currently have three cats, Abby, Marlie and Tatum.  Tatum is a new addition and I'm working on integrating her into the house. ...

I had a single cat, Thomas, for nearly twenty years and since he passed away, I adopted three others.  I feel like having two is better if possible.  I currently have a mother and a daughter and they are very attached to one another as they groom and play together.  You usually don't find one...

Just throwing my two cents out there, I agree with the idea that it depends on where you live.  Fleas seems to be a pretty big issue around where I live so I use flea prevention all year round here.  My old cat had them several times and he never went outdoors.  I find they cling to your...

Yeah, my cat insisted on clothing as well... we were never able to break him of the habit!    >___________<

My old cat used to do this all the time and I've seen plenty of others who have done the same.  I think it's a happy/calming behavior for them. I never did anything to stop my cat from doing it and he lived nearly 20 years.  I think the only thing I would get concerned about is if your cat...

I wouldn't be too upset about her attacking you.  It sounds like redirected aggression and she was likely just worked up from the encounter.  I currently have a similar problem in my house and I find that I've had to reintroduce them from scratch.  Something I was going to try which might be...

My top list would be: * Dry food * Fatty liver disease * Declawing * SLOW introductions The first two of that list I didn't even know and I had a cat for 20 years!  I feel like these are the ones that people seems to mess up easily without knowing any better.

Oh!  Another note, if you go to a shelter, not only will you get some information on the cat's personality but often times if you get a shelter kitty they will come with all their shots, microchipped, as well as spayed/neutered (depending on the shelter but I find many if not all of the shelters...

I never liked having collars for my cats since they are all indoor it was never really a necessity.  However, I wound up getting one for my new addition because she's a complete ninja!  My newest, Tatum, wears a break away collar with a bell to keep her from stalking the other cats while I'm...

I agree with @catwoman707.  They won't even keep kittens at the shelter I work at because of how easily it is for them to develop diseases.  The majority of them are left in foster care.  Also, I'm not sure what kind of natural predators live in your area but I know we get a lot of hawks and...

Not every cat will hop right into bed with you but the four the I've had over my lifetime have always preferred it.  The only way you can really be sure is to just keep your bedroom door shut at night.  So long as they don't get in the habit of sleeping with you, they should leave the door...
