    Help -- Indoor cat trying to go outdoors

    Been there, tried that. It didn't work. Morgan always came back within 24 hours. I'm really not sure how far she went. But now that she's 11 years old, she usually doesn't even leave my yard. Throwing something noisy sounds like a good thing to try.

    Chasing his tail to let off steam

    Whenever my cat Marco gets really agitated (especially after I clip his claws), he chases his tail, and meows and hisses at it. But sometimes he does this for no apparent reason. Sometimes he'll do it for a minute or more. He's at least part Turkish angora, so his tail is really long and fluffy...

    What's your pet's FAVORITE toy?

    My two older cats don't play much anymore, but occasionally they bat fur mice around. I can also get them to chase laser pointers. My youngest cat loves craft pompoms and foil wrappers.

    interested in getting a cat

    It's very smart of you to research before you get a new pet. Really? I've always fed my cats Iams dry food. I heard somewhere that dry is better for their teeth. But maybe I should try introducing some canned Iams to their diet. I agree that you shouldn't declaw your cat. Unfortunately, one of...

    Anyone ever see this???

    I wouldn't put regular water on them. Do you have a bottle of saline solution? That would be better. The mom is very pretty!

    the sickest thing i have ever had to do

    One my cats is as old as yours and hasn't caught anything in a couple of years. She used to bring home half-eaten baby rabbits, but I've never caught her in the act of killing. Kai Bengals is right. Cats have an instinct to hunt and kill even if they're well fed.

    When will his hormones wear off?

    My cat Marco is almost two years old and has been neutered for over a year. He is a lot less vocal and aggressive now. But, about two or three times a week, Marco gets into these moods where he will grab his plush cat toy and wrap his legs around it or sit on it. He deliberately lays down next...

    I think he has ADD

    I think all cats have what we would call "ADD," to some degree. Your cat will probably settle down in a couple of years. Most of what you described are normal cat behaviors (except for jumping on imaginary ledges--that sounds really strange). My youngest cat goes bonkers almost every night, even...

    We have a little thief in the house!

    My cat Marco's philosophy is, if it's in a bag, it's got to be good! He's always trying to tear bags open with his teeth.

    Hey there

    Hi. I just discovered this site today during my break at work. I have three kitties: Morgan, an 11 year-old calico. She's pretty friendly but she doesn't like young children. Punkin, an 8 year-old, female black shorthair. She's fat, lazy and very timid. Marco, a 2 year-old black-and-white...
