    Spay and Neuter at 16 weeks?

    Leela was spayed at 9weeks. And I have to tell you I would do it again in a heartbeat. Never did she appear to be in pain .. she was happy and cheerful and yes.. playful. Luckily she was young enough that she really wasn't jumping too awfully high. Now about 15 weeks you can't see or feel any...

    Whistling = Affection?

    Bubbles does the same thing. She loves whistling and tho she's not usually a "lovey" cat, she become extraordinaryily so when you whistle her a tune I have not noticed that Leela cares one way or the other so far. However Leela runs when you call her name.. Bubbles will meander over .. IF she...

    gatta vent about my dumb dog... (long)

    Probably what would be a good idea is to train her to stop at a voice command. I took our puppy (several years ago now) to a puppy trainer. Well it was a 1 hour session where he basically told us to train ourselves to train them. It was actually very helpful and informative. And we watched him...

    Cat Genie

    I was just thinking that it would probably scare Bubbles away from the litter box and Leela would like think it was a toy and wanna play with it while it was cleaning As it is somehow both cats KNOW when I'm scoping or cleaning their box and have to come inspect it and make sure I do a good...

    Kitten Problems

    We've had Leela for 4 weeks now, and the first week (she was only about 7-8 weeks old) we saw the "poo spots" and had to try and catch her everytme she went potty to clean her bottom before she ran around the house. One time she actually stepped in the poo and had to have mini bath! She was...

    Help Introducing New Kitten!

    It took Bubbles about 2-2.5 days to stop hissing at Leela. She wasn't aggressive or anything she just didnt want the kitten to close. Of course Bubbles followed her around the entire time. My guess is that she wanted to know where she was a all times. Leela was not fazed at all by the hissing...

    HELP! old cat not responding to introduction techniques

    I am by no means an expert having only really ever had two cats! However if the kitten is attacking the towel are you sure it isn't play behavior? Leela is 3 months and loves to attack towels. Now I've never heard her growl or hiss at one, but still Good luck!

    A Cat's Meow?

    I finally have a question for you all.. well actually I probably have lots of questions, but this one has been on my mind. Our 4 yo grey tabby as a beautiful rich almost musical meow. She doesn't use it alot, but when she wants our attention she'll sit and give a single meow and wait for us to...

    Not sure where to post this.....

    We adopted a calico and in our research on Calicos, it was said over and over that a Torbie is simply a Torti with tiger tabby pattern. The fast majority should be female as orange vs non-orange color is on the sex chromosome. So a male torbie would be a genetic anomoly. BTW, the white spot...

    Bunnykitty?

    Our Calico is 3 months old now and she has what appear to be huge back paws as well. Coruse it doesn't help that her coloring seem to acentuate each inividual toe! My husband says it's an optical illusion.. but we'll see

    New cat - get him neutered first?

    Our experience was that we had Leela for 6 days prior to her going to the vet to get fixed. She and Bubbles had become friends in that period of time and had been playing nicely. Leela was gone for 3 days (from Monday night to Wed morning) and she came home smelling horrible (well you know...

    What I've noticed thus far

    I'm curious if this varies based on the gender of the Kitty? We also just recently introduced a new cat into our home and it went so well I'm just shocked! The first day, Bubbles (female) was very interested and followed Leela (female Kitten) around. Of course if Leela got close or showed any...

    Strangest Place You Have Found Your Cat(s)

    I've learned that it's dangerous to leave ANYTHING open and turn your back! Bubbles climbed into the dishwasher when I turned to get more dishes. And Leela climbed into mu husbands Guitar! Hed taken the string off to restring it and left the room to get something, came back and picked up the...

    Where did you get your feline friend?

    I first heard about Bubbles the grey tabby from a co-worker whose fiancee was allergic to cats and was getting a bit upset that it was taking so long from her to find a new home for the kitty. She asked me and I hmm'd and haww'd and said I'd talk to my husband. I did and my 12yo son reminded us...

    Fairly new Cat Family

    Howdy! I've just joined your forum and am scouring it for information. We've had a 3yo Grey Tabby for about 8 mo, and completely fell in love with her. She was raised with another cat and a small dog from the time she was a kitten, so we decided to get a second cat. After talking to Animal Aid...
