    Squeaky Sneezes!?

    Hi everyone! I've not been around in a loooong time, but both my cats are healthy and happy (even though we just moved a few months ago!). My roommate's cat is the reason I came here for everyone's great advice. The kitty's name is Peeve (as in Pet Peeve!), and he's just over 1 year old. He's a...

    Quirky Eating Habits!

    When we brought Pixel home a month ago we kept her in the bathroom for a couple of weeks until we could introduce her to our other cat. The two don't like to eat near each other, so Pixel is fed in the bathroom still, and Tak is fed in her usual spot in the kitchen. But Pixel has developed...

    Help Clipping Claws!

    We have two cats: 4 year old Tak and a 5 month old Pixel. We've clipped Tak's claws since we adopted her as a kitten. It kept her from accidentally scratching us, and from ruining our carpet or furniture. Now that we've adopted Pixel, we wanted to ensure that they won't be injuring each other...

    PLEASE HELP!! Kitten with Broken Tail.

    I think my 4.5 month old kitten just broke her tail. We had moved her climbing post onto the couch to vacuum. She climbed up on it and it fell off the couch before I could stop it. I think it landed on her tail. She started walking funny right away and is obviously in pain. Now she's walking...

    Step Backward with Introductions?

    I've posted before about introducing 17 week old Pixel to 4.5 year old Tak, and that it was going relatively well apart from some hissing and what I thought was too-rough play (but everyone talked me out of overreacting! ) Now I'm seeing some specific signs in Tak that she's really hating...

    What's Your Cat's Nickname?

    I've noticed that we have a heap of nicknames for both our cats... and they answer to them! Judging by the strange nicknames we've cooked up, I'm willing to bet that there are lots of other cat owners that call their pets hilarious things when there are no other humans around. Here's ours...

    How do Cats Play with Each Other?

    This is probably a silly question... but please give me a hand, those of you who have multiple kitties! We've recently added a second cat to our household (via the wonderful methods on this site... thank yooou!), so now we have a 4. 5 year old spayed female and a 16 week old not-yet-spayed...

    Completely Unprovoked Biting... Help!

    We have two cats, and it's the newest (and youngest) one that has started biting without being provoked. Pixel is 16 weeks old, and we've had her with us for a month now. The two cats get along pretty well considering they've just met (Tak is 4 years old), and we also have a Feliway diffuser in...

    Do Cats Over-eat?

    We've had Pixel now for 3 weeks (she's 4 months old), and she's been eating constantly. We have a 4.5 year old cat who has access to a bowl of dry food all the time. She never over-eats, so we haven't had to restrict her food. But Pixel grazes all day long, and her belly is getting BIG! I...

    Eye Surgery - Pros & Cons?

    Hello! We've recently adopted a 13 week old female kitten, who is an absolute angel. I've yet to meet a cat that is SO easy-going and such a pleasure to have around. The people that we got her from had found her in a barn when she was very tiny, and the poor little thing had an eye infection...

    Behaviour in Feral Cats

    Hello! We are looking to adopt a second cat into our home, and I have been doing the "shelter-circuit" trying to find the perfect little guy. Going by some advice on this site, we are looking for a young male as he would be a good match for our 4 year old spayed female. Since it's not kitten...

    PLEASE HELP! I might have to get rid of my cat...

    My boyfriend and I have had Tak for about 3.5 years now (she was a kitten when we got her). She's always been a little crazy, and very active, but it didn't strike me as odd as most cats are that way. Lately she has become absolutely unbearable to live with. She has picked up many nasty habits...

    Please HELP With Constant Meowing!

    Hello! I've recently returned from a week away from home (during which time my boyfriend was also away for a couple days, and a friend was catsitting for us). Now that we are both back and our schedule is back to normal, Tak is punishing us for leaving her! As soon as our bedroom door closes...

    CatBib... Have you SEEN this?!

    The CatBib "It gently interferes with your cat's keen hunting skills....Cats can run, jump, climb trees, eat, drink, and be merry in their CatBibs. The only thing they can't do is kill birds!" This has to be the silliest thing I've seen in years! Does anyone know about this thing? Do you...

    Why'd You Name Her/Him That?

    Just wondering what reasons everyone had for naming their cats? I'm sure there are some interesting references/stories out there! My cat's name is Tak after a cartoon character from Invader Zim (used to be on tv). But it also is "Kat" backwards. She's my "at-Tak" cat. And it works well when...

    Sleeping in Pet Bed?

    So we went out of our way to buy Tak this cozy little cat bed, as she's always stuck sleeping on all of our stuff on the desk. Watching her spine reconfigure to accomodate my textbooks makes me feel guilty... A nice, soft, cozy bed. We cleaned the desk, and put it where she always sleeps. And...

    Choosing a New Kitten

    Hello! We currently have Tak, a 3 year old female. We are hoping that we will be able to get a new kitten soon (the rules regarding cats in my apartment building are changing), so I've started looking at new babies to add to our home! I'm wondering if anyone out there with multiple kitties can...

    She's Getting Clingy!

    Tak is 3 and a half years old now. She's always been really independant and doesn't really seem to need people in her life at all, unless we're opening a can of tuna! Within the last month or so, she's become really clingy like she's never been before! She's started sleeping on our bed...
