I guess I'll add my experience. I got a stretch collar for my first cat. I got a break away for a new kitten, but it wouldn't stay on. So I've stuck with the stretch collars on my four cats. There has never been a problem with them. I think the problems described happen when collars are put on...

One of my cats does that with toys. If they aren't hard toys, she will destroy them and eat bits. She only gets hard jingly balls now, lol. As far as taking the cat to Petco being weird, I'm really weird! I trained all four of my cats to walk on leash, and take them to pet stores and parks (one...

I don't have Ragdoll experience, though one of my cats behaves as a Ragdoll is described. He isn't one though. My neighbors had 2 Maine Coon crosses (really, not just DMH). True to what I've read about them, they enjoyed company from humans and dogs. I cared for them while the neighbors were...

You're in an area where he wouldn't be at risk of euthanasia? Wow, that's lucky. I'd normally tell someone to try to keep figuring it out because of the high risk to an innocent animal. In this case I agree with profdanglais. I'm sure the little guy will calm down in time as he's only a kitten...

I was sad no one responded. Thanks for your answer. I had completely forgotten that at one point I was looking into Wysong epigen 90 for one of my dogs, but calculated that raw actually worked out cheaper. Pikachu won't eat nearly as much as a large dog though lol, and I only see fish oil. I...

If they are acting like they aren't terribly sick, is it possible to try a no carb diet? Vets in my area don't believe in such a diet and our only holistic vet quit, but cancer's glucose metabolism and rate of cell division is well documented in science. It's called the Warbug Effect. The rate...

Oh no, I'm sad to hear this :( I'm sure you did what you could.

I would do away with the auto feeder. Feed the cats once or twice a day a set amount in separate bowls. Feed them away from each other. You can do this in separate rooms with the door shut. What they don't eat in 15 minutes, put away until it is time to feed again. Don't give in to begging 5...

I've never seen that in stores or anywhere. Interesting concept.

Can't I just wash the diffuser with soap and water, maybe scrub it? It should dry out after a while before being plugged in again... maybe a few days to be sure. Any reason this won't work? I haven't used my diffuser more than two months so far.

I'm so glad your Pehli is safe! One time my boyfriend was working on our roof. He had to go out the upstairs bathroom window, and forgot to shut it. A while later I saw it, and one cat was missing. My blood ran cold. I took a can of food outside, calling for my little Mimi. When I was about to...

They look like they are enjoying themselves! I love seeing that natural predator side at work, and offering that to indoor cats. I've thought about raising mice, but haven't done the math there. I'm not sure how to kill them at home without really damaging them, and I wouldn't want one to...

I'll see if I can swing the rats then with shipping, thanks :) I would think they are nutritionally complete, but I'll double check the taurine and do some more research before I add them to rotation. One of my concerns is that my allergy cat might need more than one per day. She does like...

I looked into rotentpro a while back, and really liked what I read about them. I just can't afford to order bulk right now to get the best price, as much as I wish I could. I had no idea about them buying from other labs though. I really don't mind rodents in the freezer, and keep a couple...

I forgot that I made this post for a while, because when my data is being throttled, I can't load most sites. My mom never put her in the litterbox as a kitten. We adopted her for me when she was 8 months old from a rescue (I was there). She was a stray. She rode home in a cardboard box that...

I had no issues offering my cats crystals for the first time. Two boxes were already the covered type. Perhaps I was lucky. You might try a covered box first. Not all cats like them.

I'm currently using a pine litter for costs, but in the past, I've found that crystal litter keeps the odor down more than any clay (or corn) litter I've tried. I have a sensitive nose and four cats. With daily scooping, I couldn't smell it except after someone pooped. Three of the litterboxes...

I just wanted to add that farm raised salmon is GMO, and doesn't have the right balance of omega fatty acids. It's worth reading about. I stick to small cold water fish for myself (less mercury, more omega 3) like sardines in water, herring, anchovies, and cod. Anchovies are always packed with...

We live paycheck to paycheck, and I can't work thanks to autoimmune complications and a sleep disorder, so money is VERY tight. I'm lucky to live in an area with 2 Petcos, 3 Petsmarts, a Pet Supplies Plus, 2 Pet Supermarkets, several feed stores, and several independent stores. This means...

It sounds like play to me. He's being a teenager, basically. When a cat bites me, I put my finger down their throat, though that's easier if he's biting hands. Cat learns bite = unpleasant sensation. This doesn't hurt them. Try not to be angry with him. My cats don't bite me anymore, except one...
