    Another Advantage Question

    My cats (Barney and Fred) were treated with Advantage for the first time on Saturday (by the vet during their annual exam). Last night (Sunday evening), I noticed Barney was having some difficulty with one eye. He was squinting, scratching at it, it seemed watery, and the third eyelid was...

    eek ... I have ants

    Does anyone have a suggestion regarding how to get rid of ants without harming my kitties? Are there any pet-friendly sprays on the market? The ants are in my laundry room (where there are no windows) and have now migrated to the hall. I guess I could confine my cats to one of the bedrooms if...

    Why does Fred try to trip me?

    I'm sure he's not really trying to trip me, but whenever I walk anywhere in my home, Fred seems to need to cross my path, almost as if he is trying to trip me. It's as if he's trying to rub my leg (like cats do), but he gets very insistent on trying to do this when I'm walking anywhere. I have...

    Another Food Question

    I recently started feeding my kitties Nutro Natural in the pouch (chunks w/gravy). They absolutely love it. However, I usually mix it with dry Nutro Natural (I've always fed them dry food with a little wet mixed in). Well, I'm getting tired of throwing away all the dry food. They tend to eat...

    Fred, the Bully cat

    I have two cats. They are both males, a little over a year old (both are neutered). They were not litter mates, but were living together in their foster home before I adopted them at around 8 weeks. Barney (the little one) is a very sweet, friendly little cat (or at least has been). Everyone...

    Goofy Cat Behavior

    This is not a terrible problem, but it is rather annoying. One of my cats, Fred, likes to play fetch. In fact, he insists on playing fetch. This is not the problem. The problem is that after fetching 2 or 3 times, Fred likes to completely soak his toy in the water dish before bringing it...

    Another Spraying Question

    My kitty (about a year old) sometimes makes a spraying motion (tail up and twittering), but he doesn't actually spray. He has been neutered. Is this normal? Will he start really spraying at some point, or is this just a reflex kind of thing? Thanks.

    I'm a bad Mommy - Don't Make This Mistake

    Yesterday, I came home from shopping and set my shopping bags down in the foyer while I went to the bathroom, etc. One of my kitties (naturally) went to inspect the bags and proceeded to get his neck caught in one of the shopping bag handles. He freaked out and went running around with the bag...

    Attack Kitty

    I don't even know if I should be worried about this, but it seems to be getting worse with time. Here's the issue ... I adopted two boy kitties back in July. They were together in their foster home and were already used to each other and seemed to be best buddies ... at least at first. One...

    Need Advice - Claw Trimming

    Does anyone have any tips/tricks on how to trim the kitties' claws? I have several types of clippers ... little scissor-like ones, the gulletine type, and human type. I handle/massage/squeeze their little paws when I am just holding them on my lap and they let me do this without a problem. But...

    Crazy Kitties

    Hello. I'm new here and have a quick question. It's not a behavior problem really -- I'm just curious. I have two very cute, crazy boy kitties (both 14 weeks old) -- Fred and Barney. F&B love to play with those little furry mice and have several. Each morning when I go into the kitchen...
