I need to train my cat from scratching on our furniture. We have tried organic's sprays on the furniture, cat scratching posts, raising my voice, etc. My husband thinks we should squirt her with a little water everytime we catch her, but I am afraid this is mean and will break her sense of...

Does anyone know how to train a cat to stop clawing our furniture. We have tried this natural spray to put on the furniture from the pet store, but it doesn't seem to be working. I don't want to use a water bottle on the cat and raising my voice doesn't deter her. She is a lovely cat...

Is this normal? What can we do to help through this and how long will it last? The kittens left at 10 weeks and momma cat has been going in their room crying/meowing and sniffing around a lot. She is barely eating and lethargic. It's only been one day, but should I be worried? The vet said...

Our queen gave birth to 5 kittens. They are 10 weeks old and all of them left this week except one! She misses her litter and I feel so sad for her. Plus, mom just had a surgury and she is not allowed around the kitten due to her stiches and the need to wear the e-collar! Besides, when we...

Hello fellow cat people. So, our kittens are 6 weeks old. It seems like they are all using the litter box, except one little bugger keeps pooping in the corner of the bedroom, but only at night! There are never any "accidents" during the day, only at night, and only one kitten seems to be...

Thank you so much for your feedback. It was our vet who told us to do this and it just feels unusually cruel and I wanted a second oppinion. I am so glad you told me otherwise. My momma instinct told me this can't be the only way!

I heard I need to withhold food and water from momma cat when we try and wean the kittens in order to stop her milk production. Is this true and it feels cruel...any other suggestions?

How do I transition kittens from nursing? I know I should do it around 8 weeks, but any details on how to do it would be appreciated. Thanks.

I wish I had some advice, but really just writing to say, I am just as concerned. We bought a swamp cooler thing (and edgestar brand in case your wondering), but it still feels very, very hot during the day with no a/c or windows open. I am always so relieved to come home and find our very...

Hi. So, my newly rescued Cat is about to give birth anyday now. We made a great den for her out of a big box, with newspaper shredded filled pillows, food inside, etc.....and she won't even go in it. We have a little cat door cut out and a few window cut outs on the box to give her a sense of...

My cat is approximately 6 weeks along...not exactly sure though b/c we rescued her, so have no idea when she got pg. Is this considered last stage of pg where we shouldn't leave her?

I have a pregnant cat that we rescued 2 weeks ago. She is very sweet and loves to interact with us. We are going away for 3 days and have someone coming to check on her (its very hot in the house and we don't have a/c-just fans.) and open some windows for a few hours everyday that we'll be...

So we just rescued a pregnant cat (apparently this is her second litter and she is only 10 months old herself!) and have no idea what to expect. We have made a den for her and have a spare bedroom for her, but when should we lock her in that room to ensure a safe birth? The vet gave us such a...
