    Catnip Addict

    Greetings, I had a funny question...regarding catnip. We just adopted a 2nd cat who is about 8 months old. He's a sweetheart! One of the homeade toys that I gave him was a sock (clean of course ) with catnip inside. The sock is tied so that it's really a catnip toy ball of sorts. I gave it to...

    Gingivitis

    My cat is FIV+ too (which is why I'm specifically looking at FIV cats), so I'm not worried about the FIV, just the gingivitis question!

    Gingivitis

    I had a few questions about gingivitis... I am possibly adopting an FIV+ cat- around a year old. She has been staying at a vet's office for the past few months. They said she's been perfectly healthy, but I did notice that her gums were very red. The vet wasn't in at the time- but the vet tech...

    Looking for a 2nd companion cat, does gender matter?

    Thank you all for your feedback My boyfriend and I are both going back to the vet's office where she's been staying on Saturday (so that he can meet her too!) I'm thinking there's a very good possibility that we might be adopting her, but I'll keep you guys posted... I know that Louie tried so...

    Looking for a 2nd companion cat, does gender matter?

    Greetings! I was just curious about your own experiences with having two or more cats- and whether you think that male neutered cats tend to get along better with other neutered males- or females w/ females etc... I've heard so many different opinions- and I know that when it gets right down...

    lingering germs?

    Hello I had a question about lingering germs...I have an FIV+ kitty, and had recently been fostering another FIV+ kitty- who had been isolated in my 2nd bedroom when I realized that she had come down with a cold (probably brought it with her from the shelter). She is now at the vets again so...

    excessive drinking/ thirst?

    Greetings I also wanted to say (although it was just said above) that you should definitely have the vet check for diabetes...Your cat probably doesn't have diabetes (specially since your cat is young) but it's better to be safe. The reason I say this is because our first cat happened to drink...

    Nail clippers

    Greetings! I was curious if anyone had come across cat nail clippers that make more of a round (blunted) cut than an angular sharper cut. I'm lucky to have a great kitty, who sits like a perfect gentleman while I trim his nails But trimming nails shorter still leaves them rather sharp and...

    Needy Kitty

    Our 4 yr old cat Louie is extremely "needy" as well- which is endearing, but also makes us feel badly since we both work full time-he's not only very affectionate, but also VERY high energy. (we were sleep-deprived for a while before we realized that sometimes we had to close the door to our...
