I warn everyone, this is going to be long, but I really could use some advice. 4 years ago I found my Tara out in the snow. She was a feral and not very friendly at all. I took her in, had her fixed, and we've been getting along pretty well. She is not a friendly cat. She is easily angered and...

Since I moved from PA to baltimore, MD my cats urine has been getting increasingly potent smelling. I can't tell if its coming from 1 year old Drusilla or 6 year old Tara or both. I added a third box to the apartment figuring that the pee was just building up faster in the current two. I scoop...

I introduced my two kitties last August and after months of fighting, they actually because quite good friends around Christmas and stayed that way until March. Tara is 8-10 years old and Drusilla is 11months old. Then in March I did a bad thing. At least according to the kitties who had...

I had a little scare this morning. My apartment window was cracked last week when an idiot seagull flew into it. The maintenance man came this morning with no warning. While he went to his truck to get a replacement pane, I put Drusilla in her carrier because I knew he'd have to take the entire...

Has anyone here ever moved with the kitties riding in the back of a Uhaul? Moving day is Sunday and there's no way to fit them in the cab at all since its me and two friends crammed into a space for only two people already. No one to drive them there either so the back of the Uhaul is my only...

I've been looking into cat trees for a long time now. I have a floor to ceiling window in my living room that overlooks a garden and I'd love to get a huge cat tree and plant it there for the girls to climb around on. Drusilla is horrible about knocking stuff over though. She has such powerful...

Is there a way to tell if a kitty is growing too fast, as in getting fat rather than growing normally? Drusilla was 5lbs in December when she was spayed. She's definetly bulked up since then and I'd guess she's closer to 10 now. A lot of my family members keep commenting on how "fat" she is...

Since the girls have taken up the habit of sneaking up behind me and leaping for the stove/oven when I am cooking, I bought them collars with bells to wear. Tara's is an 8 inch and is fine. But an 8 inch seemed too tight on Drusilla so I got her a 10 inch. The 10 inch seems too big though. It...

Most of you board regulars remember the horrible time I had getting my old cat Tara to tolerate the new kitten Drusilla. It took them 6 months to like each other, after many, many bloody fights and hiding out for days. Problem is, now they refuse to be seperated! Drusilla is 9 months old now...

Anyone know how fast open Pyometra spreads and becomes life threatening? Days? Weeks? Months? I took in an abandoned/feral/stray cat and she has it and I'm trying to place her with a rescue group, but they are all full up and are telling me the wait will be anywhere from 2 weeks-2 months until...

I found the most gorgeous kitten on my doorstep yesterday. She's a sweet little 4 month old calico with huge green eyes. I'm calling her Scarlett for now. I asked around and discovered an elderly neighbor had passed and her daughter tossed all 10 of her cats outside and Scarlett was hers...

Hello all, I'm going to be moving next month and I have some concerns about traveling with the kitties. Tara HATES her carrier. Despite every trick known to man I've tried to get her to like it, she still howls and backs from corner to corner when she's in there. Should I give her anything for...

I've finally gotten Tara and Drusilla acclimated to living together. Or so I thought! Things went fine for the first few days and then a week ago they had a fight. I don't know over what. I heard hissing and yowling and I came in and they were leaping in the air at each other. I clapped my hands...

When I got my kitten Drusilla back in July, she had fleas and tapeworms. I got rid of both and she's been fine and flea free since. But the past few days she's been pooping in her crate when she's in there. She doesn't spend a huge part of the day in there, maybe only 1-3 hours, so I couldn't...

Its nothing new that declawing is bad, why do apartments still require it? I've had a lot of personal and financial problems lately and I had a pretty good "free ride" by living in my Grandmothers house in exchange for cooking and cleaning for her and covering some of the bills. Unfortunately...

My kitten Drusilla was spayed on Dec 21st. However I'm not going to be able to get her back there til to have her stitches taken out until Jan 18th. The vet papers say they should be taken out within 10-14 days, will anything bad happen if they stay in longer?

Drusilla is entirely too smart for only being 6-7 months old! She's insanely rambunctious and I swear she never sleeps too. Lately she's been getting into everything. She learned how to open desk drawers and has been making a game of fishing out all the staples, pens, rubber bands, and things...

I have two cats, a 4/5 year old one named Tara and a 6-8 month old kitten named Drusilla. I've had Tara for 3 years, Drusilla since July. It took me until last week to finally get them in the same room without full on fights. Things were going well for the first two days. Tara is content to...

Both of my cats have started eating paper. At first, I would toss it and they would just chase it. Then awhile back I noticed they started to shred it and spit the pieces out. But I've been noticing a lack of little shredded bits all over the house lately and this morning I caught Tara laying on...

I'm having a lot of trouble getting my two cats to get along. I've had Tara for about 3-4 years now, she's around 5 years old. She was a feral/stray beforehand. She's always been a good cat, but last spring, she seemed to be getting bored. She stopped playing with her toys and started...
