The occasional tablespoon of wet food seems to be helping. We also bought some cat grass, we'll see what happens when it grows. When I put the seeds on the counter for a minute, I came back and found him dragging the back off the counter and then trying to open it so I'm optimistic he'll like...

I will try that although I'm a little nervous. Without being too gross, I decided on the Royal Canin food because everything else I tried gave him runny poo. He would also frequently have blood in it! My vet tested him for worms and such and everything was fine. This food has solved that...

My cat is a little over 1 year old. He is neutered. Up until about 2 months ago, I was feeding him about 1 cup of food per day because that was what the package said. He quickly got fat! My vet told me that neutered/spayed cats have slower metabolism and that he really only needs to eat 1/2...

Hi, just wondering if anyone else's cat thinks the brush is a toy to be batted at and played with rather than something mommy is trying to use to keep him from shedding so much!!?? Everytime I try to brush Lenny, he immediately goes into playing mode and will not let me brush him, even if I...

My boyfriend has the same complaint about our cat. However, I point out that Lenny doesn't attack me at night. I attribute this to the fact that I don't play with him by letting him bite my hands and scratch me, which my boyfriend does. Lenny knows I don't like to play that way and doesn't try...

That's why I don't use Science Diet. That and the fact that it costs about 50% more than Chicken Soup, and as much as or more than any of the other super-premium brands. I am not a cheapskate when it comes to cat food but I do like to get what I pay for! Interesting... I've been thinking...

My kitty has never had a sneezing problem but did have eye discharge. The vet told me that he has kitty herpes! The herpes usally flare up in their sinuses and that causes eye discharge and sneezing. The vet gave me Viralus, a powder medication that I put in his food every morning. The eye...

My kitty had the same problem (although he didn't intentially rub his butt on anything it just everywhere...gross). I was also feeding him Nutro Max Cat. My vet said that he was probably not digesting the food totally and that it was causing small tears in his colon. My vet recommended...

I use Hill's Science Diet. I am actually surprized more people don't. Do y'all know something I don't?

I use baby wipes for the very problem you're having and also for cleaning his face (poor thing, he actually gets blackheads around his mouth!) My vet told me they were fine to use...

my vet recommended Hill' Science Diet. I had been feeding him Nutro and was noticing blood on his anus (which was of course ending up on the sheets, couch etc... gross...). The vet said that he maybe wasn't digesting the Nutro as well and it was possibly creating small tears in his colon. As...

This stuff is too cute...Lenny has discovered he fits perfectly in the bathroom sink and I'll frequently find him just laying in it, not napping or anything, just sitting there! Also, we have 2 shower curtains and he jumps on the edge of tub between the 2 while either one of us is showering...

My mother has had a jack russel for around 8 years. He is a very cute dog with a lot of personality. However, my mother has said she would never recommend the breed to anyone. First, he is very hyper, barks all the time (at thunder, invisible things outside etc), has peed on everything in her...

I have now been presented with another option. I would fly Lenny (via a cargo program offeredy by Delta) to my mother's house where he would stay for 10 days until I arrive. During those 10 days, a friend of the family would come to check on him and give him some attention at least once a day...

I use the cheapest stuff my local pet store sells (6.50 for a 40 lb bag). It clumps and it does the job well enough. There is really nothing that will make your litter box not smell. I also use Arm&Hammer baking soda although that really just means you smell baking soda more than kitty stuff...

I am going on vacation for 3 weeks. The trip involves several flights to 3 different cities and, due to the events of the trip, its just not possible to take him with me. So, I am wondering if anyone has ever boarded their cat, especially for such a long period of time? I would be boarding...

Thanks for the suggestions, I got him a jumbo sized litter box last night so we'll see how that works. He of course proceeded to lay down in it but fortunately, he had not used it yet! Hopefully he will mature enough to realize what he's doing. Also, he really hates getting cleaned up...

Lenny is about 6 months old...

My problem may sound strange but I've searched the internet and cannot seem to find an answer anywhere. My cat (Lenny) uses the litter box very well, seems to like his litter etc. However, when he does poop, he frequently steps in the fresh poop as he's digging. This means that I am frequently...
