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...

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...

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...

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...

Our cat was diagnosed with crystals in his urine last summer and they put him on Hillâ€8482s prescription diet R/D and told us not to feed him anything else. The reason they put him on R/D is because he went from 9 pounds to 14 pounds over a year. The thing is that heâ€8482s a Maine Coon so of...

We've had Frankie for over a year and he was never interested in eating any people food and then last night my husband was eating handful of almonds and Frankie crawled onto his lap and was so interested in the almonds in his hand so my husband tossed one onto the floor. To our amazement, he...

He was a good boy in the bedroom yesterday. Yay. I wrote a thread before because our cat Frankie had peed on the guest bedroom bed a while back and we found out that he had crystals in his urine. Since then we have had him on a prescription diet and his crystals are gone but he's still...

Our cat started peeing on the guest bedroom bed that my husband sometimes sleeps on when he's extra "snorey" over a month ago. I took him to the vet and they said he had a slight amount of crystals in his urine and put him on a prescription diet. We haven't given him anything but that diet...

A few weeks ago, our cat peed on the guest bedroom bed twice in one week. We took him to the vet 2 weeks ago and they said his ph was 6.5 and should be 6 and that he had some crystals in his urine. They put him on a prescription diet and he's been on only that since then and hasn't had any...

I'm taking my cat in to test for UTI tomorrow. If it turns out to be UTI, is there a liquid form of antibiotic that can be mixed into canned cat food? I can't imagine trying to get him to take a pill. I'm not even sure if he has UTI but just wanted to know ahead of time so I can ask for a...

My husband usually sleeps in the room across the hall from me due to snoring and for some reason after having our cat, Frankie, for a year now in the last week Frankie has peed on his bed twice. He's never done anything outside his cat box so we're totally confused why he would do that. He...

This is the first time we ever went to a cat show and the cats were beautiful. We adopted a cat from the humane society and our vet thought he was part Maine Coon and now after seeing so many Maine Coons, we're convinced that he's atleast part if not all Maine Coon. We were thinking that he...

We went to a cat show on Saturday and they did this thing where they put a feather in front of the cats and one just looked at it and the next one started swatting at it. I bought a feather and put it in front of our cat and he loved it and was swatting at it having all kinds of fun. In the...

They are having a cat show in a nearby city this weekend and I was wondering what they do at those. We adopted a cat from the humane society about a year ago and the vet thinks it's part Maine Coon. Is it a pretty good bet that they will have full Maine Coons there? I'd like to see one. I've...

I bought a succulent over the weekend and then my DH said I should look online to make sure they are safe incase our cat would chew on it. I looked and can't find them on the safe lists or on the toxic lists. Can someone tell me if they are okay please?

I'm used to having dogs where you have to take them in for shots every Spring. We adopted a cat last August and the humane society did all his shots except for rabbies and the vet did his rabbies shot so he's up to date on all shots. Are you still supposed to take him to the vet for any...

Frankie knows the word "no" and knows that he's not supposed to be on the kitchen counter (at least while we're home ) and lately he's been going up there while we're home and running the whole length of it as we run after him or squirt him trying to get him down or he goes up and lays down...

We have an indoor cat and we'd like to be able to take him out in a harness on a leash so he can sit outside with us when we're hanging out outside but we're concerned that once he gets a flavor of what it's like to be outside that he'll try to get out when we don't want him to. We don't want...
