I realize this is an old thread-but one of my cats (the one that can open doors and cabinets-BOO!) gets in the trash. I bought a heavy stainless steel can with an attached lid that you step on the bottom plate to open..it worked for awhile but this cat still finds a way to open it. I'll hear a...

Ok thank you!  Yes, they were very stressed at first, my male use to pee in the tub when he was getting bathed but he hasn't done it in months now.

Thanks for all the information! I will check out the links! He has not been losing weight though and all my cats are indoors ONLY so I couldn't imagine him being able to get a tapeworm.  I had read that Siamese are more prone to eating disorders

Hi! This is my first post on here-what a great site!  I have three cats, two colorpoints (Siamese mixes) one male and the other female, and a female dsh tabby.  The youngest (male, Anders) has issues and is just over a year old.  We've had him since he was about 7 weeks old or so (adopted all...
