Mitts seems to not want to squat anymore. He stands up when he pees. We have a covered box so our house isn't "peed on." But it seems odd to me, he squats to poo, he's healthy. Why is he doing this?

Mitts often looks like he is spraying (I guess, I'm not sure) He'll walk up to something, point his butt at it and his tail will shake. But he isn't actually spraying!! Nothing comes out and there is no scent. What is this? I'm worried most because we are thinking of getting him a buddy and...

I came home from work tonight and Mitts only opened one. At first I thought he was just tired (he does that sometimes) but then hubby took a look and there was some discharge there. So panicky us take the Mitt to the vet right away (no appointments here, just walk in.) By the time we made...

I've noticed that Mitts will use any opportunity to walk, sit or lay on me. If he could easily jump over my legs, he will use every one of his legs to touch me!!! He jumps over hubby, though. He also naps on my hip, waist or shoulder if I am laying on my side. If he needs to walk past me...

I just went away for about 11 days. I had a friend stay at my house and take care of Mitts. Mitts knows and likes this friend. When I got home (no hubby, he's still away) Mitts just followed me around purring for about a half hour. Then I REALLY needed to sit and relax (had been travelling...

Hi all, just thought I'd share an improvement story and spread a little hope around! Mitts was never a lap cat, nor was he particularly friendly. He loved us in his own way but wasn't receptive to receiving love. When we got him fixed (at 6 months) I thought he would calm down. He...

I know what kneading is, but I have only ever experienced it before with de-clawed cats (not mine) Now I have my own clawed cat, and he does the kneading motion, too. But sometimes he is almost frantic. As in, this is not a "nice" thing but "I feel the need to scratch." Mom is my new...

Hubby recently bought sashimi for himself and discovered that Mitts loved it. Not like chicken or anything else, almost in ecstasy over the raw salmon. It is very fresh here. But what I would like to know is, is it safe to feed him this?

Hi, I just got my baby boy (6 months) back from the vet that did his neuter. He gave us one of those e-collar things and said that poor Mitts had to wear it for 7 days at least, or, preferably 2 weeks!!! Did everyone else's vet say the same? Also, they didn't really clean up his back area...

Now I know cats will eat and chew on string and odd stuff, but Mitts has chewed a huge hole in one of my T-shirts. The hole is pretty big, like the size of an orange! He also likes to chew on string and stuff like that, but we keep it away from him. But, tonight he threw up chunks of the...

I thought I saw a thread on this but couldn't find it.... I bought a stuffed toy for Mitts to play fight with instead of using my feet and hands as a toy. At first he was afraid of it, then he rabbit kicked it and bit it, and now he has moved on to......humping it?!?! (backwards too! ) He's...

I took my baby Mitts in for his 2nd round of vaccinations. I wasn't there for the first one as he was a "rescue" cat. The woman who found him gave him his 1st vaccines. He was NOT happy to go (reached through carrier and sliced hubby's hand twice, prompting the vet to ask how long we keep him...

Hi again, just getting the hang of this posting pictures thing and thought I would share a few of my little Mitts. He's very sweet when he wants to be: Sorry about the low quality, I am certainly no photographer! (And if I managed to get the sig working, you'll see him below with that...

This might be a weird question, but my little kitty (9weeks I think) purrs but he doesn't make any noise at all. Is this just a kitten thing and he'll make more noise when he gets older? Or is it just how he is?

Hi all, new here. I'd like to introduce my kitty, Mitts. He's 8 weeks old and someone found him as a 3-4 week old kitten crawling on the street (she thought he was a rat!) Now Mitts is a vivacious ball o' energy and his mommy, Dawn, loves him very much!
