Going to try to keep this short: I adopted my two cats from the animal shelter about three years ago. I was only looking to adopt one boy cat but I found two cats from the same litter locked up in the same cage because they "couldn't be separated." The mother and the rest of the litter were...

Yah, so like the title says, there's some stuff around the butt! And it's not poop. I thought maybe it looked like little litter bits stuck to the end, so at first I just wiped it off. Then I remembered someone saying that if there's little white stuff around the butt, it could be eggs! Is...

So, I was wondering... there are all these pet shows out there that show home owners how to dish out punishment on your furry friends so they know who to respect and how to train them. I don't watch T.V., so I was wondering if any of you know any shows or literature that inform you on how to...

My cats are addicted to toilet water which I find totally disgusting, but it seems to be the only water that they really love to slurp up. I try to change their water bowl at least twice a day now to keep things "fresh," but they only drink outta there if it's the last resort, i.e. me closing...

Hi Gang, I'm really worried about Chiron! I just came back from a month and a half in New York shooting a film and he has patches of fur missing from his belly and back of his legs. Him and his brother, Demetrius, were staying at a friend's place where I know they were being taken good care...

Hey, Gang! So I'm a big fan of shopping at Trader Joe's for all of my in-home dietary needs and it's definitely a store I trust and think is honest. Anyway, they have a line of pet food that seems to get overlooked when it comes to nutritional discussions. Does anyone out there feed their...

Howdy Gang, Two months ago I switched my kittens from IAMS to Nutro because so many people everywhere sing its praises as being a superior product. However, I noticed that my kittens would have more frequent cases of loose stools, dirty bums, and smelly poo! I just switched them back to IAMS...

Hi Gang! This might be a long post, but I'll try to be succinct. I have two male kittens (brothers) who are the greatest blessings in my life. However, I'm a little bit concerned about how they're getting along outside of my wonderful relationships with them individually. Just want to make...

how often am i supposed to completely change out the clay litter? i have a large box that i fill up with 3 inches as it says on the bag, but i'm not sure how often i'm supposed to change it out. by the way, so far i love it. no odors yet, but the clay is starting to seem "wetter." it's been...

what's the absolute hardest clumping litter out there? i'm looking for urine clumps that i could mistake for granite in my litter box.

even as i'm typing this, both my boys are up on my desk watching the little cursor go! i've tried training them to not leap up on my desk as i'm typing, but now they've trained me to do my work while only being able to see half the screen. anyway, since we make such a big deal about how video...

Is it bad or distasteful to feed cold water to cats? I always refill their water bowl with water from my brita pitcher cause i figure it's better to give them filtered water rather than tap. However, I usually grab my brita pitcher from the fridge because I like it cold (i know, i'm selfish)...

So I briefly took care of my mom's cat ages ago, which seemed more difficult than nuclear physics at the time, but I've now adopted two beautiful kittens of my own! Right away I've noticed some differences and I was wondering if they were normal. Oh, and they're both at 4 months. 1) My...

My kittens love foil balls, but I'm afraid that they might be eating/licking some of that stuff off. I find bits and pieces of foil on the ground sometimes and I'm afraid that they might ingest it. I usually pack 'em pretty tight so that they don't come apart, but you can't really get in the...

After a LOT of trial and error with the LitterMaid Plus, I've finally found a solution to all the problems I (and several others) have encountered with its design. Use FreshStep Crystal Litter! I know the manufactureres strongly urge you against the use of crystal litter with the LitterMaid...

I totally dig crystal litters because absence of urine clumps = more space in litterbox = less cleanup = cleaner paws However, I was wondering if crystals were flushable...I hear varying opinions on this and wanted to put it out there. I currently use Target brand crystals (LOVE IT...

Hey gang! So glad that I came across this site since I think that cat owners' opinions and personal experiences count for a lot more than what I read through books or web info. I'm 24, male, and just adopted two GORGEOUS male kittens...brothers! I live in Hollywood, so they are definitely...

HEEEEELP!!! I just adopted two adorable little 3 month old kittens and they LOVE using the litterbox for all their bathroom needs. So what's the problem, right? Well, the "younger" of the two loves spending so much time digging around in the litterbox that he ends up stepping in his own poop...
