I had to take my cat Ridley to the vet today because he couldn't urinate. They said his urethra is blocked and they'll have him for a few days clearing it out and keeping him with a catheter to flush out the bladder. Now, I'm wondering what diet changes I can make when he gets back to...

I currently have four feral kittens in my living room in two dog crates and am trying to tame them. So far, they're responding quite well. They eat out of my hand and all but one will sit in my lap and eat while I pet them. The only trouble is, two of them like to swat at the food I'm...

Hi all. I'm currently feeding my cats (one indoor housecat and one outdoor feral rescued cat) innova, although I'd like to switch to Orijen as I have switched the dogs over to Orijen, now I'm just waiting for the Innova to run out (the dogs eat it up faster than the cats!). Anyway, I'm...

The new place I'm moving to in two weeks has a cat living under the house! She also has two kittens. This is out in the country and the house hasn't been lived in for two years, so I'm guessing that the mother was abandoned by the previous owner (the owner also left three sheep and a llama, so...

Hi everyone. I don't have a purebred kitty and probably won't for a long time, but cat shows intrigue me. I'm also into dog shows (I'm getting a show dog soon). So... what goes on at a cat show? I mean, besides the obvious? Do they make the cats stand in a pose like the dogs? How expensive...

Do you grind it up, or feed it whole? If you feed it whole, how do you keep the kitties from just dragging it all over the place?

So... here's the scoop on my litter plans. I currently live in an apartment and have one cat, but in less than a month, I'm moving to a house and adopting another cat. Also, I hate changing the cat litter (as if anybody truly enjoys it ). So, I've come up with an idea that will make my life a...

Hi everyone! I joined a long long time ago, but I've decided to come back because I'm getting a new cat soon. I have one cat, named Hester, who I adopted from the animal shelter and the new cat is my sister's. She can't keep him anymore because of her husband's allergies, so she asked me to...

I have a cat that I feed Orijen and she doesn't get hairballs, but soon I'll be taking my sister's cat who gets hairballs unless he's fed a special hairball formula. She's feeding him Wal-Mart brand stuff, though, so I'd like to switch to a high quality food like Orijen, but I don't know if...

I have a short-haired cat that I don't brush. I feed her high quality food (innova or orijen) and her coat is fine without any special care. However, my sister wants me to take her long-haired cat because her husband's allergies are getting worse. The cat seems to have messy fur that's not as...

I'm not sure where else to post this... Is there such thing as a cat-proof fence? I live in an apartment right now, so I don't have a yard and my cat never goes outside, but in a few months I will be moving to the country, out in the middle of nowhere. People tell me I should just let my cat...

I have two dogs and one cat and one of the dogs, Tojo, really likes to play with the cat, Hester. Tojo is a shiba inu who weighs about 20 pounds. He's very prey-driven and likes to chase Hester when she runs, and at first I was discouraging this and teaching him not to bother her, but she...

Soon, I'm moving to an acreage so I want to start IDing my cat. RIght now I live in an apartment, so she couldn't escape, she'd have to go through four doors so I never worried about it. Anyway, I have a bit of a dilemma. I want her to have a safe collar that breaks away if pulled on, but...

My cat isn't very sensible with her claws. She scratches me by accident all the time. It's not that she's mean, she's just a little... scratchy, what can I say? Anyway, I have a three month old baby and she's scratched him a couple of times, even though I don't leave them together and try to...

My cat's getting a little on the tubby side (not too bad, but you know, it could get to where it makes her less healthy). She's only a year old, so I really don't think she should be overweight, especially at this age. Anyway, I live in an apartment, so there's no yard to put a cat run in or...

I'm pretty sure my new rescue kitten has ear mites. She shakes her head from time to time and has black dots in her ear. I'll be taking her to the vet soon, and I'll get the ear drops and everything - I had a rescued cat who had this when I got him before, and I know it's not a huge deal, but...

Hi everyone! I'm new around here, and while I don't have the pictures of my little kitty friend developed yet (I just got her recently), I do have pictures of my little puppy, Tojo! He's a purebred shiba inu and is 10 weeks old. I'll post pictures of Hester the kitty as soon as I get them...

I was watching a documentary on TV the other day about the healing power of pets. It turns out the frequency of a cat's purr is the same as the frequency of the ultrasounds they use to help heal bone/tissue/muscle damage during physiotherapy! They did a study with one cat who was owned by a...

I'm new to the board. I just adopted my adorable little kitty Hester from the pound! They say she's about three months old, but I have yet to take her to the vet, since I just got her. She loves to cuddle me while I go on the computer. She says hi, too.

Hi everyone. I just rescued my lovely kitty Hester from the animal shetler - poor little sweetheart had been thrown out of a car into a snowbank and left for dead! Anyway, I bought a bag of Innova, mostly because I know they make good dog food, and I was hoping their cat food is good as well...
