I feed my kitties their wet food in the evening, and I've noticed 3 of the 4 four of them pawing at the laminate floor in my kitchen after they've finished eating. They don't do it every day, but between the three of them I notice it fairly regularly. Why do they do this? They don't seem to...

We added a fourth kitty, ~6yo Thomas, to our household last week. I've allowed him pretty free access to the house since day 3. He seemed to be getting along okay with our other kitties (Delilah 3yo female, Blue 7mo female, Midget 5mo female - all fixed). He and Delilah did some hissing, but...

My cats currently free-feed Innova dry, and they each get about 3oz of Innova wet each evening. I've been thinking about switching them to Wellness and going all wet, but can I trust the guidelines on the can when I determine how much to feed them? Our newest kitty Thomas is 15-16 pounds, and...

today I decided the magic number is four! Introducing Thomas O'Malley: My DD and I saw him at Petsmart yesterday, and I just had to go back and meet him today. I wasn't even sure if I was seriously thinking about taking him home or not until he climbed right into my lap. They think...

Most of the time Delilah is quite the stereotypical aloof, snotty, demanding kitty (unless she's in the mood for a cuddle) and isn't very receptive to my overtures for playtime. When she was younger she never seemed to respond to catnip, so I haven't had any around for a long time. I bought a...

Can cats get cold sores? Last night I noticed one corner of Midget's mouth was puffy, and upon closer inspection I found what looked like a cold sore in the corner of her mouth. Today it is looking better, still a bit puffy but no apparent sore. Was this actually a cold sore?

I feed my cats regular Innova canned and dry. I'm interested to hear your opinions on the pros or cons of EVO as compared with the regular Innova formula. I'm not totally confident about my own knowledge when I look at the labels. From what I gather, high protein is good, carbs are bad...

UPS delivered our new Armakat tree today. It wasn't as difficult to assemble as I thought it would be, and it is sturdier than the ones we were looking at at PetSmart. Blue was scratching at the sisal poles when I had them in a pile on the floor! Here are some pics of the kitties checking it...

I was under the impression that kitties don't react to catnip until the second half of their first year. Well, today I got my order from Ragtime Collars, and she included a cute little catnip mouse. I gave it to the kittens and 4mo Blue went NUTS!!! I have never seen her so ferocious - that...

I've been posting on here a bit for the last couple months, but I just realized I've never properly introduced myself! So here goes... I always had cats growing up. I've had my 3yo kitty Delilah since she was a kitten (adopted from the HS), but I first came to TCS when we adopted Blue at 7...

I feed Innova dry and wet. I'd like to try to mix their diet up a bit and add in some wet Solid Gold or Felidae because I think they'd enjoy a little more variety (Innova doesn't offer different flavors, at least not at my local store). Are there any drawbacks to doing this? How likely is it...

After seeing all the gorgeous siggies you all have made here, I've decided I have to go get Photoshop. But in the meantime, I thought I'd try out a plain old photo for a siggy. Size okay?

Kitties do the funniest things! Our newest kitty, 8-week-old Midget, is confined to our bathroom when we can't keep an eye on her. I got up the other morning to get ready for work and kept her in the bathroom with me while I showered since DH wasn't quite awake yet. She sat on the other side...

Our newest addition, 8-week-old Midget, came home from the HS on Friday. I thought we had gotten lucky and avoided a URI, but now this evening she's been coughing and sneezing. Neither Blue or Delilah is sick, so I'm guessing it had to have come from her stay at the HS. I know they do all...

We adopted another kitten from the Humane Society yesterday (Friday), an 8 week old DMH calico who my kids have decided to name Midget. Midget was spayed on Thursday (the day before we adopted her). The HS volunteer instructed us to try to keep her quiet a few days until her incision is better...

I use Frontline Plus as a preventative on my 3yo kitty and my dog. My new kitten, Blue, is now 8 weeks old, and I'm wondering if I can start using it on her as well. The box says it's for cats 8 weeks through adult. She came to me last week with a URI, but she seems to be much better now. Do...

I recently switched my 3yo cat Delilah from Iams/Nutro to Innova canned and dry. Now I have 7 week old Blue, and I've been trying to figure out what is best to feed her. Innova doesn't even make a specific "kitten formula", but the protein and fat percentages in the Innova food are higher than...

Hi, I discovered these forums a few days ago and have been lurking enthusiastically. Very informative! Yesterday a 7 week old kitten, Blue, joined our family that already included another cat, Delilah (3yo). Blue came from a neighbor's house where he was part of an unwanted litter. The poor...
