Climbed into the dish cabinet and pushed every drinking glass off the shelf. I came home to broken glass from one side of the kitchen to the other. Cleaned up and checked both cats paws for any glass pieces. I think they were trying to get at the cat treats that were on the top shelf, and...

my cat incessantly scratches a door by the head of my bed from 2-5am. It leads to a hallway to my shared laundry and a large utility/storage room belonging to the landlord. The cats get out into the hallway/storage room when iso laundry as I can’t shoo them away from the door while carrying...

I have two cats, a short and medium-long hair. I have tried a variety of grooming tools (glove, wider brushes, smaller brushes, even the furminator). My cats tolerate but do not love being brushed, and won't allow any brushing under their belly. The problem is that I try to brush them...

I have two generally well-behavioured teenage cats. I've been able to plan around or redirect a few problematic behaviours that have shown up in the last year. Both of my cats enjoy chewing plants. I removed all plants from my house until recently. I use apple spray to keep them of the...

Hello All, I have a bonded pair that are 1 year 5 months old. The female is a vomitter, always has been though it comes and goes. It typically happens immediately after she eats, and she is a food gobbler. I feed a combination of Royal Canin dry and wet food. I feel wet twice a day and...

I've been wondering about this recently. My two cats parents were barn cats. One of my cats had been a door dasher since he was very young. The other has a great natural prowess as a hunter. My door dasher is cuddy and enjoys being held and cuddled but neither is entirely a lap cat. The...

Anyone have a cat that dumps a bunch of litter outside the front of the box. This is the second time my cat has done it. We are all under stress as our house flooded and has to be gutted so we are temporarily living with relatives. The cats are confined to one office for most of the day on...

Hello all, Quick background- moved four months ago from very rural to urban location. 1 year old male/female tabby siblings went from being inside/outside to only inside. I work very long hours (11-12 hours out of the house on average, though my teen son is away for more like 7-8 hours) The...

Hello All, My Lillie has a rather peculiar behaviour, she is a very determined kneader. It starts off where she will be laying on me purring, getting pats and cuddles for a few minutes and then she will suddenly get up and walk over to a bathrobe (which I've given over and leave out because I...

I have a pair of 10 month old kittens that were adopted as a bonded brother and sister. They tended to groom and sleep together for much of their early life. However, now that they are bigger (and since we went through the moving process starting with packing etc.) their only reactions seem to...

We just moved and have been taking my cats out into the backyard. They've never been around loose soil and apparently my male kitten thinks it's a place to dig a hole and then pee. I was surprised as when they would go out before at our previous place to play they would both come in to use the...

Hello All, I'm curious what has been everyone's experience with cats and whether there is a hierarchy in their houses. Everyone once in awhile my son and I debate it, but the consensus is that they've each got routines in which they are more dominate but generally they are pretty relaxed and...

Hello Everyone, I'm moving from a very remote rural area into a large urban environment. I have two kittens aged 9 months. They were inside for the first 8 months of life. In the last month I have allowed them outside because one would not stop bolting and actually left some deep scars on my...

Hello Everyone, I thought I would just keep a little diary of the last couple weeks before a rather large move for us and our kitties. Just as a way of noting everything I've done/still need to do in prep and maybe others can get ideas (of what not to do). I'm pretty nervous about our move...

I was surprised by how much my little Lille changed from the first week we fostered her to the present. I was struck by how gorgeous she was from the beginning. She looked a lot more tuxedo when she first entered our house. You could see the tabby lines (moreso in photographs) but the black...

I have two lovely littermates that are 9 months and have been with us since 9 weeks. As we initially fostered the entire litter (6 kittens) we started by feeding them together off the same plate (3 plates for 6 kittens). The other four kittens were adopted shortly, but we continued to feed...

I'm new to the cat site and impressed by all the advice I've received already. I have never had cats before, only dos, until my son and I decided to adopt cats a couple years after our dog passed away. My son still misses his dogs, but he's transforming into a cat lover. We fostered a litter...

Hello Everyone, I have no illusions that my request is more for my (and my son's benefit) than for our cats. We have two lovely sibling kittens that are 9 months old that we really wish were willing to sit in our laps and relax. We have fostered them since they were nine weeks old (initially...
