    11 month old retaliates with biting

    I'm at a bit of a crossroads with my little dude. I adopted him back in December (his birthday is in April) at the local shelter. Seemed like a friendly, playful kitten with typical kitten shenanigans. I couldn't figure out why he'd been abandoned at 6-7 months old. Turns out he bites and...

    Good Cat Tree For Kitty With Allergies?

    I've been looking for a cat tree for Rose but I'm not sure what to get her. She really wants to be able to look out the window but she can't get into the windowsill like your typical cat.

    Assessing Body Condition In Long-haired Cats?

    Does anyone have any good resources for determining body condition in long-haired cats? While I am a new cat parent, I'm not entirely new to taking care of kitties---but all my previous experience is taking care of short-haired and clearly obese domestic shorthairs where the big struggle was...

    From The Ashes...a Rose

    Hi all, Never pictured myself being a cat parent, but life can be a bit funny that way. Back in early August I lost my long-time companion, a rescued african grey parrot, to sudden-onset congestive heart failure (she came from a very neglectful home so had many health issues). She died three...
