GOOD ON YOU FURRY!!!! i'm glad Eric found you!! poor little guy needed love and understanding and you gave it to him....good job! my baby Bear, (RIP little man), stopped using the litterbox about 3 years after i got him. i was talking to a friend about it and she said "guh! ewww! get rid...

leave the box where she can easily access it for now. once she masters the basement stairs, she'll find the other box. yeah, just let her explore her new house and her new companion. like i said, there will be fluffing and growling and posturing. one big no-no though....don't force the...

Rikki had, (and still does occasionally), tears running down his face. it was a dental problem. cat's don't 'cry' like humans do. she may even have a sinus problem. it could also turn out to be nothing. take her to the vet just to be sure. always take your pet to the vet if you see...

the way i've introduced the last four kittens in my house is pretty simple. i let the kitten and adult cat get to know each other.(with the exception of the first kitten i brought in 5 yrs ago, when i didn't know any better). i think i've shared this story on this site somewhere. either way...

cats don't just stop using their box for no reason. they're trying to tell you something. have you changed their brand of litter in the past few weeks? or their food? do they share the same box? maybe get another one. i have 5 cats and about 20 square foot of litter to sift, from various...

i don't put any toothpaste on his brush. i tried it once or twice and he had no use for it. i just let him gnaw on the brush. seems to work. every month or two i buy him a new one and he goes to town on that one. i don't know the name of the stuff that the vet gave me. it was over a year...

all my cats do it. i read somewhere that it's comfort thing for them. when they were kittens, they'd do it to the moms tummy to encourage milk production. don't know if it's true. i know my babies do it when they're completely content. Sunny will even do it when i've got her upside down and...

i completely agree dusty. i live in a rather large city and i wouldn't let my cats out of the house for any money. my husband works nights as a driver and he sees so many cats that are lying dead on the street from being hit by cars. it makes him so sad. not even just the cars...he rescued a...

what i do is put the cat between my knees, while kneeling on the ground, wrap a towel around their chest so they can't paw at me when i'm forcing the pill down, open their mouth with one hand and stuff the pill down with the other. easy squeezy. works first time, every time. (except for...

it could be earmites or a yeast infection. a yeast infection will have a definite odor. either way, take her to the vet. both are easily treatable.

when i took Rikki in to be fixed, the vet noticed his breath wasn't too pleasant. after blood tests to make sure it wasn't anything super serious, the vet determined that Rikki is actually allergic to the plaque on his teeth. he gave me some gruesome looking chicken 'shudder' flavoured...

i do believe they reach adulthood at about 2 years of age.

good to know about chocolate. i knew it was bad for dogs and i made sure to keep it away from my cats, just in case. i've been called silly on occasion because i was so adamant about it without knowing for sure if it was bad for my babies. now i have proof. thank you!

Rikki occasionally gives a moan or two when he's having a really deep sleep. it doesn't concern me, personally. Sunny occasionally chatters when she's really into a dream. it's the same noise she makes when she's awake and sees a bird out the window.

i would like to apologize...one of my hot buttons is declawing...obviously. but i had no right forcing my opinion on you, catowner. i realize that i have the RIGHT to remain silent...i just don't always have the ABILITY to. i hope everything turns out for you and your kitty. again...i'm...

for starters...declawing is incredibly cruel. hack the first joint off of all your fingers and then tell me it's okay to de-claw your cat. maybe he thinks he's in the box when he puts his front paws in. why not try and give him a box he can walk into? cut a pathway into it. but if he pees...

but i gotta say...take your cat to the vet regularly! some things heal on their own, but some things DON'T. and a vet visit isn't more than $30. with medicine, a bit more. (where i'm from anyway)

12 is pretty mature for a cat but that doesn't mean it's a death sentence! i've had two cats in my family that lived to be 19 and 20. both lived very happy lives. another that lived to 17. she was also very content. my persian, Quincy, lived to a ripe old age of 14.

suck it up. you adopted this beautiful little girl...she's healthy and happy. Loki is still a kitten so he's going to want to play more than Lyra. he'll likely calm down with age. just make sure to give both cats attention. don't adopt a cat if you don't plan on keeping it. they're not a...

my little Elly fast asleep in my arm....so cute!
