I've read a few threads from a few sites now that say 'oh it's just play, put down another box and it'll be fine'. However, this is ramping up and it's not fine. :( I have an 8 yr old amazing female resident kitty. Pretty shy. She still doesn't entirely want to play with him after 6 months, but...

Hello again, oh wise and sage cat-people. I saw something this morning that absolutely baffled me, and thought maybe one of you have encountered this before. Google is turning up nothing useful. The scenario: - 8yr old spayed female (Petunia) intro to 2 yr old neutered male (tentatively...

I've posted here a few times about potential adoptions. The last foster fell through due to some inconsistencies from the shelter, and I was heartbroken. And then not 3 days later, I found another rescue here in BC, emailed them with what kind of kitty I was looking for, and they sent me 2...

Hey again all! So I found a kitty to adopt, and brought her home 5 days ago. She was in a hoarding and abusive situation, so the 6m old new kitty looooooves other kitties, terrified of people. I've progressed with her (all set up in the bathroom) to where she's now playing, eating more and...

Hello kitty people! So I've been on the lookout for a kitty to add to our wee family the last few months. (Original advice on deciding to commit to a kitty, with some history on my Petunia here: Contemplating A 2nd Cat) Tonight I went to see a 'shy', 'nervous' kitty a few hours from here...

Hello there :) Let's see. Where to start. I adopted my beloved Petunia 3 1/2 years ago from the shelter, and she is the best decision I have made as an adult. She's saved my life, very literally, more than once. She's exceedingly calm, snuggly, never denies attention, rolls over for belly rubs...

I've been reading this site, and lurking for quite some time. I've gained a lot of wisdom from these forums - general behavior, switching to raw, what to look for in a sick cat - and until now, didn't need to reach out for help. Until now.  A (hopefully) short-ish intro.  When my partner and I...

my best friend emailed me this. warning: yes, it pulls on the heartstrings. hopefully enough to make one pull on the pursestrings and donate. i've never donated as much as i have to this particular cause. every time i'm at petsmart or petco, they ask if you want to donate to help the animals...

Alright, not just today. but especially today. maybe it's the full moon that's amplifying it, but it's now 3:20 and it's pissing me off. So forgive me if i vent. I work in a posh building downtown Boulder (if you've ever been to boulder, the next line would be "aren't they all?"). People with...

Alright, this morning I wasn't too concerned, but I ran across a few comments about feeding adult cats kitten food, and now I'm all out worried. Pansy has been eating Odin's kitten food. As I'm gone most of the day and the lil boy needs to eat, there's no way to monitor Pansy to prevent her...

I'm feeding Odin, the 3 month old kitten, Nutro kitten food in the pouch along with kitten dry. Neither will touch canned. Pansy, the 5 year old, has been eating the kitten food consistently. I've tried feeding them separately, doesn't work. Odin ends up eating the weight management dry and...

Pansy, the abyssinian, always fronts like she's not particularly fond of Odin. But the proof is in the pudding. And just cause I love my lil guy SO much, and I can't help but take pictures of him. That and Pansy HATES the camera. Bad posing experience in her show days, I'm guessing...

I've been searching for that kitty with whom it just...clicks. Without going into too much detail here, cause you can find most of the story in this thread, today I found my boy. The kitten I was supposed to get, didn't end up happening. I even had a name for him. But well, that just means...

I know a nutritionist who used to work for a posh little dog and cat food store here in boulder (home of the posh, jeesh), and he told me that dry food isn't good for cats at all. That it's just sugar and carbs and makes them fat (my words, not his, but that was the meaning behind the speech)...

I might be coming into a 6 week old kitten today or this weekend. From the conversation I've had with the "owner", she's not even sure what kind of food he's on, stating "some generic crunchy food". I I'm picking up some kitten canned/pouches today (Innova if I can afford it, if not then I'll...

Love never comes the way you think it will. This is how it walked up to me today. www.faylisa.com/photojournal/sitting.jpg Just as she arrived. Had a very very close friend of mine give her to me as a birthday present. I saw this tiny girl and I was totally in love...

So I've been cruising the humane society big time lately, searching for my new kitty. There are a few there that have been there for months, and the only reason I can see is that they're brother/sister or come from the same home and they don't want to separate them. This I understand. What...

I've heard, from people I know mostly, that male cats make much better companions when one is seeking an attached, affectionate lap cat. I've heard that females are tweaky and much more independant, which is all well and good, but not if one is seeking a cuddly lap kitty. Now, from personaly...

Obviously, as I'm posting here, I'm new to the site. Stumbled onto it through a search for polydactyl kittens, as I'm considering adopting one. About me, about me. Hm. I've had cats since I was 4 years old. I found my first, my love, Casey, while walking down the dirt road at my aunt's place...

Yes, I know this is considered a genetic flaw in cats. I've done a search online to see if there was any particular temprement associated with these cats, which turned up next to nothing. My question to you, this little cat community, is in your opinion, do polydactyl cats have a particular...
