    Traveling with kitty

    Hello. I have two cats. When we had one cat and we went away overnight or for two nights, we used feeder-timers to feed at the right times. We don't just free-feed. Now, the second (newer) cat needs a particular food plus we are concerned about one eating all the food before the other gets...

    Does cold canned food make cats vomit?

    I've been feeding Spirit canned Eagle Pack for 4 days now, the duck and oatmeal, because he has chronic diarrhea. I also feed him dry Eagle Pack every day, but at a separate time. He's had no problems until today... I just fed him the can - cold, right out of the fridge - and he threw it all...

    Why does my kitten eat my hair?

    I have shoulder length hair, blonde, which for one of those reasons seems to really attract my kitten. He likes to crawl up on my head at night and munch on my hair. He can really real it in, kinda like spaghetti! Why does he do this and is there some way I can redirect his munchies? Anyone...

    Husband wants to declaw - How do I train Spirit to scratch the posts instead?

    Hello all. First, background info. We have a 3 year old cat that we declawed (yes I admit it) when she was only about 5 months old. She's quite a nipper now and I can't help but think it's related to her declaw. We adopted a kitten a couple months ago (Spirit) and I love his temperament. I...

    Arghhh! No kitten non-chicken foods exist!

    I've been researching kitten foods extensively and haven't found what I'm looking for. Wondering if someone here knows if I've missed something. Spirit (6 mos.) has chronic soft stools. He had worms and distemper and all that good stuff, treated and doing well, except the diarrhea persists...

    Oh no! Did I push the Soft Claw on too far??!

    I'm just beginning to replace the first round of Soft Claws that I had my vet put on him the day I brought him home. He's an in-between size - a small 6 month old weighing only 5 lbs. So the vet used the kitten size a month ago, but when I replace a few with more kitten size a few days ago, I...

    Cat wrestling - how rough is *too* rough?!

    We adopted Spirit a month ago. He's a small 6-month old, less than 5 lbs. Ashley is our 3 year old and before Spirit, she was our only pet (besides hermit crabs!). They seem to have adjusted to each other well except for this wrestling they get in to. They'll sleep together once in a while...

    What should his middle name be? Suggestions, please!

    I need a middle name for my new kitten Spirit. You know, something that just sounds good for when I need to yell at him (not that he's EVER naughty), or when I need to call him in to dinner from his friend's house down the street. Now maybe I'm paranoid, but I don't know if I should post my...

    the MONSTER of all beverages!

    Woohoo! Anyone tried those new-fangled energy drinks with mass quanities of caffeine and herbal supplements so strong that it should be illegal? My husband just gave me one to drink so I can stay awake to do my schoolwork, and MAN, is that thing powerful! Unfortunately, it tastes like *!#$%...

    The very edge of Spirit's ear is dried...

    This is a hard symptom to explain - I tried to take a picture but it didn't show what I'm seeing. The edge of Spirit's ear looks as though it's dry, kind of. There's a little bit of a crusty brown substance right on the edge, and I pulled a little off, and the hair came off with it so easily...

    What type of food do you like best for your cats?

    Hello all. I'm thinking of switching my two cats (one female adult, one male kitten) from Science Diet (lite adult hairball prevention and kitten formulas) to a better, natural dry food. I've seen a number of threads about food, obviously, but since they're all spread out I was hoping to get...

    Stinky kitty - at both ends!

    A week ago I adopted a 5 month old kitten. The next day I took him to the vet and he received ear drops for ear mites, a distemper vaccine (again) because of a respiratory virus, and a pill (Drontal) for worms. He appears to be feeling better, but man, does his breath smell! He also is pretty...
