Today we shaved Orion, as he had a bunch of mats. Now that he's got his little lion shave going, we noticed that he looks like he has pimples on his belly. Of course, I know boys have nipples, and these are pretty much in the right place to be nipples, but one looked like it had some brownish...

Hey all, we just bought a nice 3 level condo unit that has open riser stairs. I'm a little worried about our 2 very very active catkids getting themselves into trouble or hurt on them. Anybody have open riser stairs? Am I just being an over protective catmommy? I mean, they're not total idiots...

Orion was on the hunt two nights ago and dragged his belly through frying oil (cold, of course) that was splattered on the countertop. We gave him a heck of a bath last night and soaped him up really good. I noticed this morning, though, his fur still looks all stringy. You can't feel the oil...

So, Orion went to the vet cuz yesterday he came running downstairs after a poo, and I noticed blood on his bottom, but it was very mucus-y. So, the vet said it was his anal sac, and expressed it (poor baby). He said that Orion has colitis from his food change (meow mix to nutro hairball...

We're in the process of changing Orion from his meow mix to nutro hairball. We decided to do that, since even with petromalt 2-3 times a week, he was still bringing up hairballs pretty regularly, and the vet said mos tpeople have luck with the hairball food. So, my question is, is it normal...

We trim Orions nails as needed, and we only ever cut the sharpest points off, since we wrestle so much with him, and don't want to be shredded. ANyways, we use a sharp blade, and the cutters where you put thier nail in the little hole and squeeze the handle, since I heard those are the best to...

Alright, I'm not entirely sure where to put this thread. We just got a new kitty in the house. He's about 3 months old, and actually one of a litter born from a stray in this neigboorhood, just like our 1 year old. SO, here's the deal...when the kitty was still outside, and coming in and out...

Hey everyone! Here's my deal. The cat that had Orion is a stray. We've come to find out that she most likely was one of an abandonded litter about two years ago, and has been living on her own ever since. She was very skittish and non social when we first found her and her first litter about a...

We have a stray cat outside who just had a litter. We've been thinking of taking one of the kittens, and trying to place the rest, and all that. My question is, though: Today, while watching her eat, I noticed that all the fur in front of her ears is nearly gone, and she's got baldish spots...

My Orion is almost a year old now. It's funny, I remember first posting when he was only 8 weeks and a little terror, and I had no idea how to take care of an animal. So, anyways, we play with Orion a lot, but I sometimes get the impression that we just can't play the way another kitty could...

I saw someone on here post about clicker training and give a website. So, I went and ordered the kit, and it came today. I managed to get Orion not only to keep his furry head OUT of the bowl of tuna I was using as reward (which is amazing in itself), I actually got the little bugger to follow...

Hey everybody.I hope everyone's babies are all happy and snuggly and stuff. I've got a question. Orion (7 months, rescued feral at somewhere between 7-10 weeks), is a super active little guy. He will play really hard, and lots of times, ends up panting like a little puppy. I have never seen a...

Hey everybody. I just wanted to share our big scare with Orion. We had a vet appt Monday cuz the little guy (he's approx 7 mos...rescued feral) got stepped on and was lookin pretty sad. As we came in from warming up the car for him, he came runnin up to uswith his little white face all...

Hey everyone. It's been a while since I've been around, but little Orion has been doing pretty well. He's stopped being so sassy at night, and he can be so lovey and friendly to new people that you can forget he ever was a little feral kitty for the first couple months of his life. He has never...

We've only had Orion for about 3 weeks, and I know he's just a playful kitty, but sometimes my patience is so tried with him. He will usually lay down with me around 8or 9pm, and go to sleep on my pillow. But routinely, in the middle of the night, he's up for an hour or more, playing Psycho...

I never knew how yucky and sad declawing is, having never had a pet. Everyone I knew just automatically had it done, and most vet places around here just assume you'll have it done when you 'fix' your cat. I'm glad Orion isn't old enough yet, or I would have never seen this. He doesn't have...

Hi! Just wanted to inrtoduce myself. My name is Spring, and I just became the proud mommy of an about 11 or 12 week old grey kitty, rescued from my very own backyard. (I've posted some of that story in the feral category) Orion is my very first pet, not counting sea monkeys. He's incerdibly...

Hey everyone. I'm so glad to have found a kitty forum. I've recently become proud owner of the cutest little kitty. Here's the deal on him and the rest of his family. We first met Bast (as we've named her) about a year ago, as she'd trek thru our yeard. We've since figured she's feral, and...
