I know you said you can't change your litter, but I'm wondering if comparison shopping online might make it more reasonable? My preferred brand retails at the pet stores for about $30 per 40 lb. bag, but we get it on Amazon at $17 for the 40 lb. bag. You have to plan in advance a bit, but it...

I love tea, but always start the day with a cup of coffee - which is sort of weird, I guess, since caffeine doesn't even affect me much! 

If you have some old t-shirts, just cut out a square, put the catnip in the center, and tie off (tightly) with a ribbon. You could cut off the toe of an old sock and do the same, but it'd probably need to be a pretty thin sock - I can never get the ribbon tight enough around the top of thicker...

Only if my dress/skirt is a thin or very light-colored fabric (basically if there's a chance you'd be able to see my underwear through the clothing if I didn't wear a slip) - otherwise, they don't really serve much purpose?

Our 1-year-old calico Tika was something of a surprise. Right after last Christmas, we adopted a sweet 5-month-old black kitten from our local shelter, but within a week we recognized something was wrong. She barely ate, would only drink when prompted, and was clearly developing a URI...

We had a flea problem a couple months back. Unfortunately, fleas are a pain to wipe out, and yeah - they end up in the house/on your stuff for awhile. Get some diatomaceous earth for your carpets/furniture. Leave it down for a day or so, then vacuum up. Make sure you get food-grade diatomaceous...

That does make sense. Every time this has happened, it's been by the same box - which happens to be the one that's furthest away from the "main area" of the house. I'm going to try adding a second box to that corner, and maybe re-positioning one of the other two. Thanks for that link, it was...

My Tika is the biggest cuddle-bug. She : Headbutts all the time Hovers around wherever I happen to be Comes if I call her name Brings me her toys as "presents" Sleeps next to me or on me Kneads on my chest before laying down Lets me carry her around Lets me pet her belly and touch her...

I'm seeing some odd litterbox-related behavior from my new kitten, Shiva. She's just under four months old and a bengal. We've had her about a month now. We also have a 1-year-old calico, Tika. Shiva follows Tika around everywhere, like a little shadow. It's adorable, but this "shadowing" also...

Give it a try. I just recently finished introducing our 11-month-old calico to our new 12-week old bengal. I was hesitant at first, because our calico is extremely territorial. She's incredibly loving to us, but hisses and hides from any other humans that come in the house. She also growls and...

My last cat used to get cat acne on his chin. I'd swap some benzoyl peroxide on a q-tip and put that on him for a couple of days and it'd clear up. I used the regular kind from the dermatologist, but I believe you can get a shampoo version from the vet.

Just thought I'd introduce myself since I'm new here and will (probably) post, and definitely read a lot. I have a 1-year-old calico named Tika who is the cuddliest, most adorable kitty ever - only to us though, she hates strangers - and yesterday morning we brought home our second baby, an...
