Three months ago I found myself in a hectic situation and had to find someone to cat-sit my youngest cats named Chloe and Leo only to my horror to hear that they BOTH escaped. Chloe was found after two weeks of hard searching. Facebook posts, lost posters, even Craigslist. The lady whose...

Does taking your cat to the groomers to get "deshed" actually work?

Does anyone have any tips for training an 8 week old kitten to use the litter box?

I bought raw catnip today that come looking like little sticks, you're supposed to peal them until the bark is gone and the white remains then give them to your cats to chew on or play with. Is this better then the usual baggy of green stuff?

I found Amira as a kitten and didn't know much about white cats. In fact I wasn't even aware there were so many white cat breeds. I had put on Amira's vet work "American shorthair" as that is a fancy way of saying mixed breed. My vet took one look at that and said, "Nope, she's a Russian white...

Hello all, to make things short; a neighbor recently gave me permission to take in a kitten he claimed to be a "stray" that stayed in his open shed because he worked outside of town and only returned once a week long enough to switch vehicles. He had more pets but I don't want to get into the...

Hello everyone, I haven't been on this site for a while as I was busy moving. Amira, Nigel, Ginger, and I have settled into our new home without any issues. No more roommate! I have been here a month and have, or more like, HAD a neighbor with a small chihuahua and two cats. The dog was...

Hello everyone. I've had my cat for about 4 months now, ever since I found her on my front steps one cold/rainy day. She always breathes in from her mouth and exhales the same way. She had seen the vet before, I had taken her the following month after I took her in to allow some weight gain and...

I know this is probably an odd thread but I have a battery operated cat teaser that my cat absolutely LOVES. I like it too because when I'm trying to get ready or is too busy to play with Amira I can just turn it on and watch her have fun. However with just a small base if she swings too hard it...

So yesterday I took in a cat from someone who could no longer keep him (the other cats used to fight with him). His name was Midnight but I renamed him Makko. Naturally he was a little timid around my female cat. He had only been around other males, so I had hoped he would be more compatible...

Hi everyone, what cat treats do you buy your fur babies? Recommend your kitties favorite choice. I am planning to go to Walmart tomorrow and as a mother to two dogs, I know there are some brands they love, some they'll take if there's nothing else around, and some they won't touch. Amira is my...

Hello everyone, someone told me the other day that white cats are susceptible to more health problems than other cats. Is this true? And what health issues are they prone to? Here is my fur baby, Amira. She's been with me now for three months and the only issue she had was a minor ear...

My cat used to be so affectionate but now will not leave her litter box. I have taken her out several times but she keeps returning to it. I don't know what to do with her anymore. I'm completely stumped.

Hello all, first of all happy holidays! I guess I'll cut straight to the the point. I live with a roommate (or housemate) who is really NOT A CAT PERSON. So in order to keep the peace, I keep my little girl restricted only in my room. She was perfectly fine with it, never even wanting to come...

This is my 6 month old kitten, Amira. When I originally found her I noticed a blue speck next to her pupil. With her being a stray (and me never owning a cat before) I assumed it could have been a scratch from another cat and in time it will heal and go away. Well, as you can see, it didn't...

Random question(s): but does anyone here use these? Does it benefit cats to take them for a walk? If you have used one before or still do, does your cat enjoy it or not? Share your thoughts and stories if you please.

My cat is currently being treated for a ear infection and as you know a symptom of that is constantly shaking their head. She is already being treated with drops but I was wondering if anyone knew how long it would take until she stopped shaking her head?

Hi, I'm Lea. I have been raised around dogs my entire life but adopted my first cat last month! Technically I found her, she was crying quite loudly at my front door one rainy morning. I believe it was like 40 degrees outside. Any decent human being couldn't have left that little fur ball out...

Last month I discovered this white kitten at my front door, wet and cold from icy rain we've been getting in our area. When no one claimed her, I decided to keep her. However, this will be my first cat as I have only ever had dogs. I had to bathe her as she was riddled with fleas, got her flea...
