I had to take my little girl Petunia to the Vet yesterday because she has been displaying some unusual behavior, well unusual for her anyway. Since Monday evening she has been going to the litterbox every 15-20 minutes but not having any bowel movements. On occasion she has diarrhea but nothing...

I have noticed that over the past 24 hrs or so Petunia has not been eating as she normally does. Not too long ago I posted a thread asking for suggestions on how best to curb her fast eating. Now it appears that she isnt really interested in eating. What could this be a sign of? Is this only...

I have always wondered why it seems that cats wait for you to move in a certain direction and then decide at that very moment that they are going to walk directly infront of you, sometimes to the point where you almost have an accident and lose your balance or drop something. Petunia is what I...

I have read periodically on this site where people have recommended Flower Essence to calm down certain behaviors in cats. Can someone please explain to me exactly what is meant by Flower Essence and also what is it generally recommended for when it comes to cats? Thanks

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my precious little girl to stop eating so fast? She will be good and wait until both her and Barkley have their food in the bowls but as soon as he has one mouthful in she is almost completely finished with hers. My mom calls her a Hoover...

Just wanted to say hello to all of you. Are any of you familiar with a cute website called IndyPaws.com? It is sort of like a Myspace for pets and their human companions. Both Barkley and Petunia are members of the site and they have tons of friends. It's a really cute and entertaining website...

As most of you know my adorable four year old cat Barkley is a hellion on four paws! I think he enjoys attempting to turn mommy's hair gray with his sometimes bad behavior. In order to help curb some of his antics it was recommended to me that I try using a product called Sticky Paws around the...

Anyone who has or has ever had a Tortoiseshell cat will know that they are very talkative cats This morning Petunia woke me up to explain to me that the birds outside the windowsill were making noise. Then she hopped down off the bed and went into the kitchen only to come back a few minutes...

I have noticed that my beloved Petunia will drag whatever she can get into her mouth around my house as she cries horribly whenever I leave the room or leave the house. Im wondering what this means because Barkley does not do this and Petunia will only resort to this behavior when we are away...

Does anyone on this board currently have their dog or cat on this Holistic Pet Food? Apparently from the information that I received the other day while at PetSmart from an employee of the Blue Buffalo company that manufactures it, the ingredients in this food are more healthy for our little...

For those of you who know my struggles with my 3 year old Barkley, here is an update on his status as of this time. Back in July it was recommended by the vet that Barkley be placed on Amitriptyline in an attempt to change his budding behavior problems (nervous behavior, incessant meowing at...

I always thought that cats enjoyed when their owners brush them. My babies for the most part do not like it, they will let me do it for about a minute and then they take off running. Anyone else have cats that dont take well to being brushed? Barkley is starting to come around more to the idea...

As some of you know I am having problems with my little man Barkley in reference to his behavioral issues. Most nights he keeps me and my other cat Petunia up at odd hours of the night because he is tearing through the house, knocking stuff over, ferociously scratching at any and everything...

I consulted my cat's veterinarian on how to help in curbing Barkley's behavioral issues, he recommended placing Barkley on a drug called Amitriptyline, which is also administered to people for certain issues. When we discussed this medication, I was told that there are no side effects in cats...

Hello all! I have searched within the Behavioral Forum and did not find the answer to my dilemma. Here is the deal with Petunia my 4 yr old Tortie. I have noticed lately that she will grip things in her mouth and drag them all over the floor, even sometimes going into other rooms with the...

Has anyone used this new product that is called an "alternative to declawing"? Im thinking of purchasing some for my babies because I dont wish to have them declawed, I hear it's a painful procedure for the little ones. If you have used these and find that they help I would like to hear your...

First off I do apologize if this behavior issue has been discussed here before. I just got some nice furniture in my house yesterday and my babies think it's the new jungle gym just for them. Not so much Petunia, but Barkley loves to lay all over it, jump and climb on the back of the sofa, and...
