    My cat won't clean herself!

    Thank you all for your amazing help, but I'm still a little clueless: I tried a bath, but Bibi (that's her name) won't get in! She keeps clawing and fidgeting and basically going nuts! I brushed her afterwards to get her purring again, but it wasn't a great experience. Any tips? By the way: I...

    My cat won't clean herself!

    My cat is about 6 months old, siamese long-hair mix. She was separated from her mom at about 1 month, and she isn't like normal cats. First, she didn't "knead" until she was about 4 months old. Second, she doesn't clean herself, especially not on the rear area. <-- I'm most concerned about this...

    Everyone? This is Bibi...

    ... I'm working on getting her pic online -- she's very photogenic. But right now she's purring softly on my lap with her tailed curled under her like a monkey. We almost went with 'monkey tail' as her name but though Bibi (Bee Bee) would suit her better. She is a longhaired siamese mix who is...

    Well, it has been four months since...

    My baby Tiggy got hit by a car. He was literally a baby... But anyway, it has been four months, and Kaeli wants a new kitten. I personally don't feel like one yet, in fear that it may get hit, too. But it is a possibility. One thing makes me think quickly, though: Every day I wait, another...

    Help me choose!

    Thanks for all the advice... Should I take a chance on my friend's stray kittens? Because they do need to find homes, too, and they are pretty tame already, but I don't know if we should just go to the shelter (which is a no-kill) and take another cat, where we got Tiggy...?

    This probably doesn't belong here, but...

    ...I had no where else to put it. Do you know when exactly kitten season is? I mean, I guess it's somewhere around this time, but I haven't heard of it until just recently.

    How to block off my crawlspace?

    We made a little wooden railing for our crawlspace. It's not that little, but it counts, and it usually keeps Gemma (and Tiggy and Chloe, once) out.

    Anyone in Northern California want to adopt Smudge??

    We live in San Francisco, and since Gemma's feeling a little lonely, we'd love to come and look at your kitten, but could we please have some more details?

    Invisible fence for cats?

    I don't know, but that would be really, really cool if they did! It would have spared Tiggy... but, oh well. Good luck!

    Are ferals smarter than domestics?

    Probably, because they actually have to survive for a living. Domestic cats just sit and play and get their food served to them quite literally on a silver platter! But once domesticated, like my Gemma cat who was once a stray, they lose their outdoor skills.

    How does your spouse (or SO) feel about your cat(s)?

    My husband used to have only dogs, and now he loves cats. He wouldn't mind a dog, but I bet he'd love our cats more.

    Is there any truth...orange cats are always dog-like?

    It's probably not true at all, but Tiggy, my little decease Orange Boy, was almost the best friend you could ever have--and so if you're thinking of getting a cat, here are some of the key tests (or so I think): 1. If you want an outgoing, down-to-earth kitten, try holding it on its back. 2. If...

    Kittens anyday now.

    I'm so sorry for your baby kittens! Anyway, good luck with your new kittens. They'll probably be healthy, and beautiful to match. I don't think you need anything else, except some sleep!

    Cats eating dog food

    First of all, it can be deadly to certain types of cats to eat dog food! Second of all, I suggest making a small area for the cats to eat, and give them cat treats and call them, if you can. Always serve a side of meat (about 1 slice) with the food, so they'll eat the meat, and once they're...

    Too much at once...

    My kitten got hit by a car, too, three weeks ago. I know how you feel. It wasn't your fault, I've learned that fate just happens, after Tiggy. Adia and Mongo thank you, I think, and won't remember you for the things that you didn't do for them, but the things you did do. I opened the cat door a...

    3 Feral Kittens and a Very Feral Mom... help me name them!

    She says she is going to have them, the now half-tame kittens, spayed and/or neutered as soon as they are completely tame. Breakthrough!
