Hi! Georgia is approx. 4 years old, and she's been overweight basically since we adopted her. She is on a vet prescribed diet of very limited dry Wellness healthy weight, but she's still putting on 1/2 a pound a year (about 13.5 right now.) We tried her on the Core type food, but she just...

When we adopted Georgia, she was a skinny and malnourished little thing. Within a month of eating high quality dry food (she won't touch wet), she had gained 6 pounds! Now, she's about 3 years old and 12-13 pounds. We've been on a vet-prescribed diet for more than a year. It seems a little...

I know that cats are known to purr when they're frightened or ill, and not just when they're pleased-- but what about a cat who purrs for 90% of her waking life? What on earth might that be about? Georgia has been this way since we adopted her, so it's not an indication that something might be...

I'm still considering whether or not to adopt Monkey into our household (see post 'Need Advice-- Should I get another cat-- a blind cat?!'), and I've been reading all the helpful postings on this site. It seems like there are so many horror stories about multi-cat households! I'm really feeling...

Hello all-- Yesterday my partner and I came upon the most amazing shelter kitty--Monkey. She's about 3 years old, very small, mostly blind and full of spirit-- and we fell in love. We've been considering getting another cat, but I've never owned more than one feline at a time, and I'm very...

So, Georgia has had fleas for a month now. She's indoor-only, so someone must have tracked the little buggers in. As soon as we spotted them, we followed all house-scrubbing/vacuuming directions, and went to the vet to get some Frontline Plus. Georgia's fur is extraordinarily thick, so thick...

Hello all-- I posted a while back about a little kitty who had followed me home (several blocks) from a walk; I was wondering how I could figure out whether or not he was a stray. I asked around the neighborhood, and I eventually found out who his owners are. Comforted that he did belong to a...

Hello all-- When we first got Georgia a year ago, we tried free-feeding her Premium Edge Adult Formula-- she ate it almost non-stop and put on quite a bit of weight. The vet suggested that we give her measured amounts of diet food, so we switched her to 1/2 cup of Chicken Soup Lite a day...

Last night I was on a walk when I had an encounter with a lovely little (6-8 months old?) cat. It was a few blocks away from my house and she was in the bushes. She darted away when my boyfriend and I walked past, but then she timidly approached us, gave a quick head butt, and then darted away...

As I was strolling through my neighborhood last night, I had an encounter with one of the most striking cats I've ever seen. I'm curious as to whether she might be a special breed. She's probably a moggie, but I thought someone might be able to offer up some knowledge if I described her. Female...

Does anyone have any experience with honeysuckle toys? My cat doesn't respond to catnip, and I've read that honeysuckle can serve as a substitute. Do any of you have anti-catnip cats who flip out for something else? Many thanks!

We got Georgia from a shelter about a year ago. She had an enormous appetite-- I figured it had something to do with having been a stray for so long. She gained weight so quickly that we had to stop free feeding and put her on 'weight management' food. She always finished everything in her bowl...

I'm wondering if anyone can give me insight into the noises Georgia makes. She's extraordinarily vocal (this doesn't bother me--it's pretty cute), and she varies the noises to a great degree, almost as if she's conversing. What I'm wondering about is the fact that she doesn't even sound...

Does anyone know what might cause this amusing behavior? My cat has no interest in catnip, but she adores live kitty grass-- she'll sleep next to it, and bury/rub her face in it... sometimes, she even tries to roll in it. The thing is, she seems to have no interest in ingesting it; rather...
