    Time to get kitty behaving better!

    My cat is 6 1/2 years old (neutered male).  He lives in a house with two adults and two children (10 and 12).  For the most part, he is ok cat.  He loves me best, tolerates my husband and loves my youngest daughter as well.  He does show affection. Here is the problem and has always been the...

    I've created a monster

    My neutered male is 4 years old. He eats one can of wet food (1/2 in am, 1/2 in pm) and is free-fed dry food (Nutro). I also started giving him treats years ago and thus I have created a monster. I am home all day so pretty much any time I am in the kitchen he meows or scratches at the drawer...

    Cat keep trying to bite husband

    I have a 15lb neutered male that we've had since he was 4 months old. He is now 3 1/2. He like me (the wife) and my 7 year old daughter the best -- tolerates my 9 year old daughter but has real problems with my husband. My husband does not give him a lot of attention -- but he is not much...

    I wish my cat liked my DH

    My cat is three years old now (large, neutered male). He is basically a good boy -- eats like a horse, uses the box well, etc... He is not much of a lap kitty but he seems to love me and the kids and loves treats even more. Anyhow, though he likes me and the kids, he is timid of strangers and...

    Does My Cat Have An Anal Gland Problem?

    Within the last few days I have noticed a skid mark stain (with no actual poop) on my carpet. It smelled poopy when I put my nose to it. My cat walked by it and scraped at the carpet like he was burying something. This happened two times. Then I found a wet poop on his tail. I practically...

    How much Rescue Remedy and for how long?

    Anyone know the dosage? Is it safe to give daily for TWO weeks? My cat is going to grandma's over Christmas. He does every year but it is a little traumatic for him and he tends to hide a lot at first. My other concern is he can be a biter -- just this am he jumped on the bed and bit my arm...

    My Cat has started Biting!

    I love my cat to death but lately he has been acting very sassy. We recently went on vacation and attacked (bit and latched on) to my niece who was house-sitting two times. Yesterday, she was at the computer typing, he was sitting on the desk, and out of the blue he bit and latched on to her...

    Microchip - Home Again??

    Does anyone use Home Again for microchip registration? When I try to go to their site I get some scary "attack site" error (ie: this site could steal your personal information). I just want to make sure kitty's info is up-to-date.

    Severe guilt over travel

    This may seem silly, but I feel so bad about leaving my 2 year old male cat for a week in Nov to go on a long awaited family vacation. My cat is an "only" and totally used to having someone home 24/7. The first and only time he has ever been alone my neighbor came in to fed him and she said he...

    Tidy Cat Breeze - I wasted my money

    It has been three weeks now and my 2 year old neutered male has still not used the new box for pee or poop. I have them set up side by side. I have tried sprinkling the pellets in his old box, removing the sides from the new box and I even created an "obstacle course" of sorts where he had to...

    Just set up my new Breeze

    My first impression is that don't give you very many pellets. They just cover the bottom of the box. Hope it is enough. I set it up right next to his other box with Fresh Step scoopable. I'd love the for him to use the new box because there would be no more little on my stairs and he...

    Scottish Fold kitten I like

    I took my two DD's (age 6 &8) to a local cat show for fun; they both adore cats. We have an almost 2 year old neutered male fluffy, black and white kitty. Anyhow, my kids (and I) fell in love with a sweet 5 month old spayed Scottish Fold girl. I have a feeling the breeder would have let me...

    Single poop found on kitchen floor

    Today my cat walked through the kitchen, noticed a single turd on the floor and started scratching around it. He seemed surprised to see it there. His litterbox is in the basement -- I check it and there was poop and pee in it. Could this have just been an oops??? It happened once before (4...

    Wellness to no longer make canned food

    On another board, someone posted that their local pet store said Wellness is phasing out of the canned food business. Anyone else hear this?

    Sheba wet food anyone?

    My kitty eats Nutro day (sometimes Max Cat, sometimes Complete) which I feel is very good food for him. He also gets wet food twice a day. He really prefers a shredded meat with gravy. So far, his favorite is Meow Mix Selects. I like the price of this product, but hate that every one I open...

    The Great Outdoors -- Not so Great

    Last night I was playing with my kids in the front yard. I look down the street about 5-6 houses and a black cat crosses the street where my neighbor and his son (8th grade) are. I see the boy pick up the cat and flip it around a few times. Then he picks it up and tosses it. The cat is...

    Is Meow Mix wet a bad idea?

    For the past several months, I have been feeding my cat (1 years old) a container of MM Select wet daily (along with Nutro dry). I have tried many varieties of other wet foods (Nutro, Authority, etc...) but he seems to like the texture of the MM the best -- he especially does not like "loaf...

    Clipping the dew claw

    I have real trouble with this. I have to turn my cat on his back and hold him like a baby, then try to push the claw out (that is difficult and his fur is long so that doesn't help). Then concentrate on clipping it correctly. He is not happy through all of this. The problem is the dew claw...

    Trying to avoid killing my cat with bad food

    Was feeding Nutro wet. Changed to MeowMix since it is not part of the recall and my cat really likes it. Now I see that most varieties have wheat gluten. Did try a few cans of Wellness and he liked it (but Wellness is made at Menu Foods and is also very $$$$). I picked up some fish FF...
