    Questions About Buying A Silver Shaded British Shorthair

    I fell in love with silver shaded British Shorthair a while ago and am thinking buying one from a breeder. It'll be a long process. I just started searching and want to get an idea of the general price range. However, most breeders do not provide prices on their websites. What I understand from...

    brushing teeth for them

    So we're working on brushing teeth for our two young cats. There is no way it'll go easy! We're still in the preparation stage, e.g familiarize them with the toothpaste and fingers sticking into their mouth, etc. They hate it and struggled so hard to break free. So my two concerns are: 1. we...

    Curious about the my cats' reaction towards strangers

    I have two cats and I always thought my male cat is the more confident one among the two. When he first came to our home he came right out of his carrier and couldn't wait to explore the whole apartment, and slept with us the same night he got home. He never hides when we're home (he will even...

    How can I treat my two cats more equally? - or should I?

    I'm not sure if this is under the right topic. It's about my feelings and its influence on their behaviors. So we have two cats around 2-year-old adopted 5 months ago (Roger and Iris). I LOVE Roger a lot but not so strongly with Iris. This is mainly because he's such an intelligent...

    How do you cats react to "punishment"?

    By "punishment" I mean non-harmful measures like water spraying, air puffing, etc. Our male cat deliberately does things that will result in punishment to get our attention (I assure you he gets A LOT OF attention but he's just greedy :p ). He probably figured out that we can't ignore him when...

    static electricity and cat's reaction

    It's winter now and it's very dry in our home despite that we have several humidifiers, and I always tend to get more static electricity shocks than others. When I pet my cats I always got bad shocks (especially when they're rolling on the ground/rubbing on my legs acting cute and calling for...

    My cat has something on his eye

    I noticed this morning that my cat has a small circle on his eye (as in the picture). There is no other symptoms like red eye, excessive tear, or signs of itching. I can't tell whether it's a dent or something attached to it. It's near Christmas so the vet may be unavailable in the following...

    Can cats tell the difference between human and cats?

    I once read an article (something like this one: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/01/140127-cats-pets-animals-nation-dogs-people-science/) saying that while dogs perceive and respond to human and dogs differently, it is not clear whether cats can do the same -  they may simply treat...

    Should I get a playmate for my super playful cat?

    My 2-year-old male cat Roger is very very active and seeks to play as long as he's awake. My husband and I give him as much time as we could to play with him, and he has a lot of toys (traditional and automatic) and a big cat tree, but it does not seem to be enough for him. We even consider...

    Dominance and having food

    I have a question about cat's relationship. My husband and I adopted two cats three months ago, one 1.5-year-old female and one 2-year-old male. The female cat seems to have very dominant personality. She always licks the other cat non-stop, pressing him down or biting him if he tries to stand...

    cat did part of the poop outside the box

    One of our cats (1.5 years old, female) had an accident today -- she dropped two pieces of poop, about 15 feet apart, in the living room, which is in between her litter boxes, one in the kitchen and two in the bathroom (our apartment is not very large, so about 15-30 feet from either place)...
