    Your thoughts on Nature's Miracle?

    I can't speak to the litter you mentioned but we're treating the stinky poo problem at the source by feeding our cats Nutro Natural. It's highly digestible and doesn't contain any preservatives or fillers. It really cuts down on the odor problem. One of our cats had poo that could peel paint!!

    To declaw or not to declaw that is the question...

    I'm new to the idea of not declawing, and in fact, it was this forum that convinced me not to ever do it again. I had absolutely no idea what the procedure was. I was horrified! I agree with Arlyn, try using the nail caps. http://www.softpaws.com/ is an informative site for them and you...

    Good food???

    I fed a dog I had Eukanuba. I found that it made his coat extremely shiny, but then his stools where also shiny and quite soft. Which was pretty yucky to pick up after. As to Birdie thinking he's eating her food, you could try using two dishes, one for each of them and putting them in different...

    Getting along after neutering?

    Well, I'm in TN as well, and the Feral Cat Society that I adopted from wanted to have their vet neuter our kitten before we took him home, and they scheduled it with the vet they use. He seems to be unaffected by the surgery. I think a lot of it depends on the vet. I wonder if the personality...

    Good food???

    Why don't you want to feed him Science Diet, if your adult cat is already eating it? Does it cause Birdie problems? My new kitten has been given Science Diet for kittens but I am going to slowly change him over to Nutro Natural. There's no preservatives and believe it or not, they use the box...

    Getting along after neutering?

    I just brought home my new kitten, Q, and he's about 9 weeks old. The place I adopted him from just had him neutered two days ago. So I would have to say that anytime now is just fine. Would others agree?

    Kinda a strange issue

    I had a Beta that I named Walter (Because he looked just like Walter Matthau!) I was upset to the point of being sick when he died. I decided then not to name our fish anymore. We've had others die since then and I do feel sad that they've passed, so mourning them is not strange. I know it...

    Extremely Skittish Cat

    All the suggestions are great and very much appreciated. I think I wasn't clear though on his skittishness... he doesn't let anyone touch him but my sister, and then only at night. (Perhaps he sees her sleeping position as prone and isn't worried that she will try to grab him?) He flees from...

    Catnip

    We were given a catnip plant and put it in our 2nd bathroom (this was in WI in the dead of winter) so we could regulate their intake. Well, the older of our two boys at the time figured out how to slide the door open and feasted upon that plant until it was nothing but tiny stalks. He didn't...

    What brand of cat food do you feed your cat?

    We recently switched from Purina One to Nutro Natural Choice. Before that we were feeding them a prescription food because one of our boys had FUS (Feline Urinary Syndrome) and we needed to watch the amount of magnesium in his diet. He is no longer with us, so we switched to a less expensive...

    Hi.. yet another newbie!

    Hello. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Mellie and I currently have 3 boy cats, with a 4th on his way. (I just rescued a buff colored tabby from the local friends of feral cats organization.) I will have to read about posting photos so I can show their adorable faces to everyone...

    Extremely Skittish Cat

    Hi everyone, I just joined the forum today and am hoping I can get some help with one of my cats. My sister found an abandoned kitten in her neighborhood, he was about 6 weeks old. She took him in and nurtured him and he was a sweet little guy. He subsequently developed a string of ear...
