Thanks for the suggestion Dave.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's a wonderful idea.

I asked if she was insured and had references and she sent me references so I guess she isn't insured/bonded because I would think that she would have answered that question if she was. I just thought of something. When we adopted from the Humane Society they gave us a folder that had...

We used to have a friend come over and take care of our cat once a day but she lives about a half hour away and at that time she wasn't working and now she's working full time so I don't want to impose on her to take care of our cat. My husband wasn't too thrilled with the idea of a stranger...

One other thing that I should mention is that we know the owner of the kennel that we go to and he told us that Frankie does really well hanging out at the front desk with him while he's working and doesn't even care about the dogs that are coming and going. We are thinking that it might be...

Thanks for your replies. We usually go on a week long vacation in the Spring and possibly another in the Summer and then we do long weekends at times. We have an automated feeder that has 2 containers in it so if we're only gone over night we use that. I can hire this lady that I talked to...

Do you think it's better for a cat to be boarded at a facility or to hire a cat sitter to come to the house once a day to take care of him in his normal surroundings? I can see good and bad in both situations. At the kennel he would get more attention and be fed on his normal schedule of 2...

We put our Maine Coon cat in the main bedroom at times if we are going to have the doors open for home improvement projects or if we're cooking and he's hopping up on the counter. Last week I put him in the bedroom for a bit and he had to poop so he did it on the bed since there wasn't a litter...

I've gotta tell you how great Petsmart is. I went to Pet Smart and told this guy about the battery falling out of the feeder and how our cat was starving this weekend while we were gone. I asked if they had this other one that got great reviews on the internet (PetSafe 5 Meal Feeder) and we...

We have a Cat Mate 5 compartment automated feeder for when we just go somewhere overnight and on Saturday we fed Frankie and set up the feeder and then went camping over night and when we got home the next morning, we found that the thing didn't open at all cuz the compartment that holds the...

He loves his scratching post covered with sisal rope. He's all back to not being freaked out anymore.

Yep, I was worried about nothing. He didn't scratch at the new carpet at all. He did seem kind of freaked out all night walking around like he knew something was different but couldn't figure out what. Hopefully, he'll be used to it and back to his crazy self tonight.

Yeah, I'm sure I'm worrying about nothing.

We just got new carpeting put in our dining room and hall and he is installing new carpet in the living room today. I took our cat to the kennel to stay in a cat condo for the last two days. When I get home with him after work today I'm going to put him in the bedroom for a bit first until we...

I agree. Even when we had a dog that was a habitual barker we just used a can with pennies in it and would shake the can to get him to break his barking binges. There are so many better alternatives.

God, I hope I'm wrong. All I know is that my DH wrote to me and told me that they put a shock collar on one of their cats to keep it off the counter tops. Geez, just use some soap and water and wash off your counter before you prepare food on it instead of hurting your cat like that. I'd be...

No kidding. I don't know how they can do that to their baby.

I'm glad we don't go over to their house cuz if I would see them shock their cat I'd probably grab the cat and whip that collar off and take the cat home with me. I can't believe that they have 2 cats and are going to such an extreme just because the cat hops up on the counter. Heck, ours gets...

A guy that my DH works with put a shock collar on their cat to keep it off the counter. That sounds so mean. Can that hurt the little one? BTW, Hi everyone. It's been a long time since I've been on here. We are doing great with our cat Frankie. It seems like a lifetime ago that we were...

He's about 2 1/2 years old.
