    nail injury : (

    Poor Miko fell off her cat tree the other day! This was Friday night. She landed on her feet and is walking around fine, the only injury seems to be a nail she injured on the tumble down. She may have already lost part of the nail and the rest of it seems damaged and like it might be loose...

    New baby coming - should we continue to let cats sleep with us?!

    I'm due with our first baby in Dec () At the moment we let all 4 cats have free range in the bedroom.  (we keep the door open so they can come in and out) I plan to have the baby sleep by my bed in a bassinet or rock n' play sleeper.  I'm a little worried about the kitties jumping up and...

    100% w/d wet food MAY have cured Georgia

    Georgia has had chronic loose stools for years. She's been checked out the vet and given a prescription for w/d wet food that we mixed in with her fancy feast and a probiotic. We also switched to Taste of the Wild kibble since I know it's a good quality kibble. Well that was months ago and no...

    diet suggestions for possible IBS

    Georgia has had chronic loose stools for as long as we've had her. After going to the vet and ruling out parasites and diseases, we've decided she may just have IBS. We've already switched over to Taste of the Wild kibble, which alone hasn't helped. We also used to feed all the cats fancy...

    trying to get to the bottom of Georgia's issues...

    Georgia has had chronic loose stools since we got her (retired from a breeder at age 3 about a year ago). We thought maybe she was just adjusting to her new home and new diet, but it never went away. We tried pumpkin and switching to Taste of the Wild kibble. (She also gets fancy feast wet...

    diarrhea outside the litterbox....

    Georgia has had chronic loose stools pretty much since we've had her. We've tried pumpkin in her wet food and grain free kibble (Taste of the Wild) and nothing has worked! I'm going to take her back to the vet and see if there's anything they can do. But the very weird part is my husband is...

    suspicious kitties

    I got a kitty bank as a stocking stuffer.  It makes a meow noise and a cat paw pops out and takes your coin inside. The cats get VERY curious when I play it.  They're trying to figure out where the kitty is hiding!

    I hate being mad at my cat for being a cat....

    But sometimes it's so frustrating that you just can't have nice things around cats! We have an antique sideboard that Sebastian LOVES to climb.  We knew it was not that stable and try to keep him off it. But tonight the whole top part just snapped off taking Sebastian and 2 glass candlesticks...

    need impartial advice!

    My husband and I live in NYC and have been talking for years about moving to South Carolina. We found a town we love and visited a few times, met some great people, saw a few houses that could work for us. I've always just had this caveat that I want to stay in NYC until after I have a baby...

    How does he get any work done like this?

    My husband works from home and this is a typical scene on his desk. He loves it though. He definitely considers it a "perk" of running his own business.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    I had to work on Thanksgiving, but came home to a lovely Thanksgiving dinner prepared by my husband.  And got to enjoy the holiday in the company of our cats, including a very curious, but well-behaved, Samson.  Turned out to be a pretty good Thanksgiving after-all!

    fuzzy cats snuggling in a sunbeam

    Our cats never snuggle like this, so I just had to capture the moment. Georgia (on the left) is actually Sebastian's mom, though they were separated for months, so I'm not sure they know they're related. But it's sweet that they've become close!

    hairball that smells like poo!

    We have 3 Maine Coons (and 1 short-haired cat) so we are very familiar with hairballs. We were away last night and when we got back today there was a hairball to pick up in the living room (nothing too out of the ordinary...) The weird thing is it smelled like poo! And when I picked it up with a...

    food quality/matted fur

    Is there a correlation between quality of food and knots and mats in the fur of long-haired cats? For the past few months we've been feeding them The Good Life brand from Walmart because the price is pretty good. But we feel that there's been a significant increase lately in matted fur on 2 of...

    Bloated and asked if I'm pregnant! TWICE!

    Ok. I'm expecting my period and have some nice PMS bloating going on. I was asked TWICE this week if I'm pregnant and I'm NOT! So embarrassing! Earlier this week was a coworker which was a little more understandable since we work on a labor and delivery floor and have babies on the brain. Plus...

    bald spot on cat?

    Samson is a Maine Coon and gets lots of mats in his fur that we have to remove. Today we noticed a large bald spot behind his ear (one place he often gets knots). It's quite bald and large (1-2 inches?). Is it possible that tugging on knots in that area damaged the rest of the hair follicles...

    fuzzy boys wrestling!

    We've had Sebastian for about a year, and mostly Samson just tolerates him, but is obviously jealous and occasionally hisses or growls at him. Today for the first time I really saw them PLAY together! It was so cute! Maybe they're going to be friends now I love the picture where Sebastian is...

    cut my cat with scissors - I feel as bad!

    Georgia has horrible knots and mats in her long fur and we use a combo of brushing and cutting to get them out. Tonight I accidently cut her skin with I was getting one out! There's a little opening in the skin, almost like the top layer (with the fur) is lifted a bit. I dabbed it with with...

    my husband may be choosing btw 2 job offers!

    After a year and a half of being unemployed my husband has 2 opportunities that look very promising. Yay! One is here in NYC and the other is in Boca Raton FL. If he gets both offers it'll be a tough decision. We've always talked about moving South (like SC). Love warm, sunny weather and...
