Thank you!
Souffle has always ALWAYS been skittish. He's actually getting less neurotic in his old age. He used to be afraid of anything and everything, but he's mellowed out a bit now. He will actually stay in the room when I blow dry my hair, for example.
Hahaha! My cat is like that. He's always muttering about something. After he eats he likes to come and sit by me and chatter and mutter at me for about five minutes. He also tells me off if I do something he doesn't approve of. If I ignore him when he's talking he turns his back on me and sulks.
Thanks for the suggestions you guys!
Yarra: I will definitely look for that stuff. Thanks!
Zissou'sMom: Hee. I know what you meant, don't worry. Souffle is getting loads of attention right now. I've discovered that if I really annoy him at night when he starts with his head butting and meowing...
My cat tries to sleep on my face, too. It drives me crazy! Sometimes he'll sneak onto my face (or neck) when I'm asleep and I wake up feeling like I'm suffocating with a nose full of fur.
Eh? I'm not following your logic. An ovicollar isn't "pointless", it's an alternative to dosing your cat once a month and hoping your cat doesn't have a reaction. I can see you saying that you just don't like the idea of a collar on your cat(s) but to call the ovicollar archaic is just bashing a...
I like them, they keep the litter pan cleaner and it's easier to change the litter with a liner. My cats like to scratch their paws on the liner after they're done to clean their claws of litter debris.
A lot of people just don't understand that a pet is a serious and life long commitment. They see animals as disposable and not of much value so they don't want to spend money on their pet's health (including spaying or neutering) and don't spend a lot of time training or looking after their pet...
Some people get a little hysterical when discussing pet food. By-product meal and meat meal are not the devil. How wasteful are we as a species if we think that anything other than muscle meat from an animal is gross and useless?
As a matter of fact, whenever I see real meat listed as the first...
Ovicollar isn't a traditional flea collar, they work by releasing an insect growth inhibitor which prevents immature fleas from maturing. You still have to spray your home, obviously, but they do work.
I've mentioned it to my vet and she just said that some cats are more needy than others.
Souffle was like this before I moved, but I could tolerate it because he went into the rec room at night. Before I moved he would completely ignore the other cat and would pester me at night if not put into...
Your cat will DIE if he is suffering a blockage and it is not treated immediately. GET HIM TO THE VET ASAP.
This is not a matter to be tinkering around with. You could seriously injure or kill your cat attempting to give him an enema yourself.
DO NOT try to force feed your cat anymore than...
In the long run premium foods are not more expensive than inferior foods such as Meow Mix.
Say you have an 8 pound cat. You could feed your cat a premium food (I'll use Science Diet as an example) or Meow Mix. Your cat needs to eat 1/2 cup of Science Diet a day compared to 1 1/4 cup (or more)...
My cats get permium dry food only except for special circumstances. One cat has perfect teeth, the other has big problems with his teeth (he gets little holes in them down by the base). They were fed canned food up until age 5 and both of them had bad teeth as well as some other problems. So I...
My cat Souffle is driving me crazy! He's 15 and very attached to me, clingy is a good term for it. He follows me everywhere, even to the bathroom. He has a fit if I go in a room and close the door, his pupils dialate and he will howl and scratch at the door for HOURS (not exaggerating here)...
Hi everybody!
I'm Smilla, I live in Nova Scotia and I have two kitty cats, Oliver and Souffle.
Both of my cats are 15. We got them on a whim from a pet store when I was a teenager. My sister, my mother, and I were out driving and my mum asked my sister and I if we'd each like to get a kitten...
