I rescued my cat when she was a kitten and she's been with me for 8 years. We moved to a new house a couple of months ago. We started having SEVERE hairball problems, daily, sometimes multiple times a day. I was on the phone with the vet a lot. She's a short hair, on hairball food, was...

Does anyone else's cat give you little pats? Josie gave me several pats on the hand trying to get my attention and cheer me up one day when I was really sad. Sometimes when she cuddles at night, she'll pat my nose to get me to look down at her. This morning, she patted my cheek trying to get...

I've had the Christmas tree up for over a week and she has left it totally alone this year! Yay! I guess being almost 3 years old makes a difference this year. I've posted a few times about Josie not getting used to my new husband. Last night, she rubbed up against and wound through his legs...

Since I recently got married, Josie has been very unhappy about my husband and I sleeping in the same bed. It's going to be a long while until my prissy princess accepts him. She always swats and hisses at him. The past couple of days I noticed that she hasn't been covering the poop in her...

Josie developed an "aversion" to my dad. He tried to punish her one day when she was laying on sheets fresh out of the dryer and dad wanted to fold them. (It's her little game. I usually indulge her in peek a boo for a couple minutes and then when I tell her to get down, she will.) Ever since...

Hey everbody. I'm a little blue today. Thought I'd share and see what others have to say. I'm getting married in 2 weeks. My kitty, Josie, is quite a challenge. She grew up with only me and she's very attatched to me. She's an alpha cat, persnickity princess, I want love on my terms, and...

We're looking to buy a home that previously had a dog. There are some urine stains on the carpets. Do cats spray to cover other animal's scents? I'm just wondering if cleaning the carpets would be sufficient or if we'd have to go the whole route of tearing out carpet, pad, and enzimatic...

I'm lactose intolerant (like most kitties) and I buy the Lactaid milk. I tried giving some to Josie last evening and she wouldn't drink it! Although, I only keep it around for cooking and baking. If I won't drink it, I guess it makes sense that she may not like it either.

It's not really hide and go seek, but a form of the game. It's just an exercise of mock hunting where I'm the prey. We see who can sneak up on who first. If I get her first I say, "Boo!" If she gets me first, she jumps/prances out with her nose in the air. I always bust out laughing cuz...

Does catnip go stale? I'll buy the pack of dried catnip at the pet store, but after a while, Josie won't respond to it. I only get it out once in a while, so she's not overexposed to it. She'll go nuts when I bring new catnip home though. Just wondering what other people have experienced...

A spin-off from x-ta-Z's post and Sammie's response.... My Josie was raised as an only cat. She's bonded with me and is very attached to me. She's very territorial and doesn't like other people coming into "her space." She's very opinionated and talkative. She's a meticulous groomer and I...

Anyone else have a cat that gets extremely hostile and angry at the vet's office. She growls and hisses like I've never seen. She lashes out at anyone who comes near her, including me. The vet hasn't even been able to examine her in the past 2 years for fear of getting bitten. I think she's...

I have a couple of concerns. I'm getting married in less than 2 months and am a little worried about how Josie will react to a new person living with us. She's very opinionated, vocal and rules the roost. Sometimes she lets him pet her and sometimes she hisses at him when he comes over to my...

Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Heather and my kitty is Josie. I was a dog person, but decided on a more independent pet while I am living on my own. And boy, independent is what I got! She rules the roost. It's her way or the highway, right now! But I love her all the same. I'll try...

My cat is 2 years old and developed this new behavior well outside of kittenhood. After I lay down for the night, she comes up to me and starts kneading my arms or chest. It is different from her kneading behavior as a kitten. This is much more pronounced and deliberate. Her eyes are closed...
