Previously the vet did check for crystals and said there weren't any. Nermal won't eat wet food (I tried) and he is constantly drinking water (out of the sink, the toilet, his bowl and out of my glass - he even licks off the condensation) so I don't think it's from LACK of water. What worries...

My cat Nermal has recently started peeing and pooping outside his litterbox. He's never done this before and originally I thought he just didn't like the new litter (I was trying the crystals) so I changed it. Last month I noticed (thanks to the contrast on the white crystals) that there was a...

I've been feeding my two boys (Smudgie and Nermal) Chicken Soup ever since it came on the market a couple of years ago, but I've noticed that Smudgie will vomit occasionally - and the food will be either whole or partially digested. I used to think it might be because I was only feeding them...

Just wondering what the best way is to clean an old litter box. I bought a nice covered one at a garage sale, but the seller didn't know how long ago it was used or the health of the previous "owner". I don't want my babies getting sick. How can I make sure it's sterile? Is soap and water...

Well... not to sound weird, but he MIGHT be showing that he sees you and your wife as the "alpha cats" and is waiting for you to sniff his butt. I read about this somewhere on this site after I couldn't get my two cats to quit sticking their butts in my face. Now when they do it I just give a...

Here is how I fixed Smudge and Nermal from pawing and crying at the bedroom door all night... When they were making a racket I would squirt under the door with a water gun and yell "NO!" really loud. I NEVER opened the door, so there was no positive reinforcement for their bad behavior and...

I hope they are truly doing what they claim in that email. The comment of "We only conduct research with dogs and cats that is equivalent to nutritional or medical studies acceptable on people." just made my skin crawl as I thought about their failure to take action regarding the de-barking.

Please include me on that PM regarding Iams. Thanks!

My husband trimmed my babies whiskers one afternoon while I was at work I have NO idea what made him decide to do that but he sure got an earful when I saw what he had done. Now, a couple of weeks later, it appears that Nermal's whiskers on one side have fallen out. Do whiskers just FALL out...

JC looks like he could be brothers (or at least cousins) with my Smudge!

Woo-Hoo! Thanks Jenn - the pic is great!

I was in Petsmart last night and they had both the Drinkwell and the Petmate. If I'm remembering correctly the Drinkwell was $49 and the Petmate was $39. So now - in Dallas at least - you can get either drinking system at both Petco and Petsmart! I got the Petmate system for my babies last...

Thanks Jenn!!! Obviously my pic is there now! Now I just have to figure out how to shrink it a little....

My two cats drink so much water that they can recreate the Rock of Gibralter in their litter box on what seems like a daily basis! *sigh* : So water consumption isn't an issue, however, they do like to drink out of my tabletop fountain and I would rather they not. Where can you get these pet...

Can anyone tell me how to get a pic to post w/ my signature??
