My cat Boaz has little white specks of dandruff on his back, and more pop up when I scratch his back. I pet him and stroke the dandruff flakes away and more pop up. There's not a huge amount of flakes, but still, it has me wondering. Any thoughts?

I have a theory I'm curious to hear your feedback on: My cat Boaz is a little bully to our other 3 cats- Asher, Posie, and Javier. I think these are his reasons with each cat: Asher is just as much of a bully as he is; both Asher and Boaz are full of themselves and look for any opportunity...

What has your experience with cats shown you? Do you think outdoor cats are better behaved than indoor cats? I personally believe that yes, outdoor cats are better behaved than indoor cats. As I scroll through the behavior wing of this forum, I see post after post after post about help requests...

Just so you know, if it was MY cat that I'm dealing with, I already have an idea of what I'd do: I'd make the cat wear a belly band/ diaper in the house and take it off at set times of day for him to use the litter box, OR if I'm busy or not at home, I'd keep the cat shut in a room away from the...

My bedroom window slides open vertically, not horizontally (so, the glass can't be pushed up). I'm hoping to find a cat flap that can be built into my window's preexisting screen. Are there in existence any cat flaps for this type of window and screen?

I'm looking on Wayfair, Amazon, and Chewy. I've heard complaints from buyers of wooden structures saying things like, "The wood fell apart as soon as I started pounding nails in" or "The wood grew mold"! For metal structures that aren't specifically advertised as "rust-proof", there are reviews...

Our two male indoor cats, Asher and Boaz, hate each other. We've tried the slow reintroduction techniques that the experts recommend and it was to no avail. Boaz and Asher are determined to fight with each other if there's no barrier between them. Asher and his sister Posie get along fine, and...

My brother's cat Asher is a stubborn sprayer indoors. In the dog world, belly bands function much the same as underwear or diapers. The idea behind a belly band is that the dog gives himself a wet belly every time he marks indoors. My idea was to use a belly band on Asher so that if he sprays...

I'm having to get creative with how to keep my cat off the counters and out of the kitchen sink. I yell at him to get down and I clap my hands once and he does NOT care. He knows that the worst that happens is that I yell at him and lift him off the counter, and if I'm not there and the air...

I just made an expensive mistake. I bought a 40-lb bag of Naturally Fresh clumping walnut cat litter off of Amazon for about $40 only to find that my CRAZY food-obsessed cat is OBSESSED with EATING THE WALNUT LITTER, EVEN AFTER PEEING IN IT! I'm so upset. I had to take the litter box, dump the...

I'm a freelance writer and editor specializing in the pet care industry and I also run my own pet care business. I need something to fill in the gaps between pet sitting jobs until I can transition to something better. Do you have any recommendations of where I can go to find more remote writing...

I was just wondering if it's possible for one adult cat to learn how to be more well-behaved by living with another more well-behaved adult cat? In the dog training world, mentor dogs are often used to teach other dogs good behavior since the human can only go so far in educating dogs. Can the...

My cat Boaz will usually devour all his meals and eat and eat and eat like he doesn't know when he's full. Last night, he at first turned his nose up at dinner, which is unheard of, for him, but he later on ate all his dinner. This morning, he picked at his breakfast, going back to it off and...

I'm looking for an outdoor cat enclosure, preferably for under $200. I'm looking for one that's metal but rust-proof, one that's not likely to collapse, and one that I can fold up for transporting to various locations, such as campgrounds. Are there any such outdoor cat enclosures in existence...

I went through a couple weeks of slowly reintroducing my cat Boaz to my Dad's cat Posie and my brother's cat Asher (all live in the same house). I was able to get Posie and Boaz to tolerate each other, but now Boaz and Asher absolutely hate each other and will take any opportunity they can to...

Does your cat have a fascination with your laptop keyboard? Mine does. No matter which room my laptop is in, if I'm not in front of my laptop my cat will often ball up on the keyboard! One time he actually somehow managed to disconnect my internet connection by doing this! I thought maybe he...

I've noticed that even though all three of our cats are domestic shorthairs around the same age, each cat has a slightly different feel when I pick each of them up. My Dad's cat Posie is stiff and hard. She doesn't much care for being picked up and she's either going, going, going, or she's...

Last summer, or thereabouts, my cat Boaz's relationship with my brother's cat Asher, fell apart. The two boys are from different litters but they're only a few weeks apart in age and they've lived under the same roof since the age of 4 months. Outdoor feral cat activity has DRAMATICALLY...

I'm pretty sure I'm not allowed to solicit anything on this site...Does anybody have any ideas of places I can go online to network my pet sitting business with other rescues, breeders, pet owners, and such? Thanks for any advice you can offer!

My 3-year old male domestic shorthaired cat Boaz has been vomiting and vomiting off and on over the last 3 weeks. The first week, he vomited almost once a day. Now, over the last 2 weeks, the vomiting has been slightly less frequent, but still recurring too much for my comfort. He used to vomit...
