I'm glad to hear that you didn't have the claw removed. One less thing for her to recover from I've also got a polydactyl cat who has 23 claws (20 toes though) in total and she has one claw on each front paw in between just like you described. I clip her claws weekly and I use the small scissor...

My newest addition is the same way. We got her from a barn when she was 6 weeks old, and she's been a crazy digger ever since (she's now nearly 1.5yrs old). Sometimes I swear she digs for over 30 minutes, she is in there so long. The other cats will even go up to the litter box and watch her as...

I've got 6 cats, and currently 5 litter boxes. One in the a bedroom on the first floor, one at the end of the hallway, one at the side door entrance (also by the stairs that lead downstairs) and then there is one litterbox by the bottom of the stairs and one in the "den" downstairs. What I did...

Wow, lots to reply to lol. I'll start with LDG and anjhest: I will try to take a pee sample back to the vet for a urinalysis as soon as I can, its hard to coordinate getting a fresh sample and getting it there, he never pees when we actually want him to lol I have used an enzyme cleaner, but...

I made a post on one of my cats peeing on the bed a few months ago, and now we've figured out who the culprit is. Its Mogley, the one and only male cat (11yrs) and he ended up having crystals and hyperthyroidism. He's been on the crystal food from the vet for a couple months now and he still...

I could have sworn I already replied to this but my computer must have messed up. Thank you very much for the replies I'm trying my hardest to learn about cat nutrition but it just seems there is so much different information out there its hard to figure out what is what. I'm going to go with...

I'm going to be switching my cats and I can get a good deal on either of these foods. I'm wondering which one would be considered better? I'm also curious as to the ingredient list of the TOTW. Peas and sweet potatoes are 2nd and 3rd on the list. Isn't that really high on the ingredient list?

He's got struvite crystals, and the vet wants me to put him on their Urinary SO canned and dry food for the next 6 weeks to dissolve his crystals. He's also on an antibiotic (Bio-Clav, 62.5mg every 12 hrs). I'm wondering what others have done when their cats have crystals? Do they put their cats...

Its 1 male cat, approx 11 years old. I'm not sure what type of crystals, that's what I'm going to find out today when I talk to the vet. All my cats were on Orijen for about a year, but it got a little too costly so I've switched them to Solid Gold katz-n-flocken. They've been on this food...

I found out today that I've got a male cat with both crystals and hyperthyroidism. I'm trying to search online and on this forum for some information and I'm doing such a bad job lol. If anyone has any great links for information on either of these conditions it would save me a LOT of stress...

I've got a 6 cat household, and up until recently never had a problem. A few weeks ago my boyfriend noticed that there was a wet spot on his son's bed. So we stripped the bed, I cleaned the mattress as best I could and used an enzyme cleaner to get the smell out, and thought nothing of it. Fast...

Right, well, a friend of mine suddenly found herself with 4 kittens from a barn that were going to be drowned tomorrow ( ) if she didn't take them. She's not sure how old they are, but judging by the size and what teeth they've got so far she's guessing they're around 4 weeks (they haven't got...

Wow, thanks for the quick reply Sharky! I'm glad I wasn't totally offbase with what I was thinking about the dry. I've heard that cats can get addicted to tuna and then won't eat any other wet foods, is that true? And thanks for the link, I'll go check that out now. Unfortunately I live in...

I'm wondering if this is a decent food or not? Its their 'grain free' new food, but am I crazy in thinking there doesn't seem to be a lot of meat in there? If memory serves me correct, Chicken Meal is not as good as Chicken right? And potatoes being second in the ingredients list also caught me...

Like the title says, we've discovered ants in the house and we've got to figure out how to get rid of them. The cats are all inside only cats, so we're going to spray the outside of the house in the region that they're coming in, but is there anything safe that I can put inside the house to...

We've currently got 3 clawed kitties who get regular manicures and pedicures 2 of them I got as 8 week old kittens, and I started right away and there's absolutely no problems. The 3rd (Tinsel), well, that's another story! We found her in a parking lot right before Christmas, and took her...

We've got 5 boxes for 5 cats. One large Rubbermaid tub-thing in the bedroom, under built-in fish stand the bf made, one large covered box in the upstairs hallway in the bottom shelve of a 3 shelf closet, and then there are 3 we keep downstairs in our finished basement (which is a 1 bedroom...

Hey there, and welcome! Just had to post a hello since we're apparently living in the same city Love your lovely Kitty btw, so much to love on! lol

I had to teach my cats to sit in my lap to clip their claws, because I could never get their dew-claws any other way lol. I sit the cat on my lap, then bring my arm right around them so they can't go anywhere, and push the claw out that way to clip it. Kinda hard to explain lol Both Tazz and...

Since lots of good advice has been given so far, I won't go there, but I just wanted to second what beandip said about the extra activity. I put out a measured amount of dry every morning (7am) and it normally lasts until approx 2-3pm, and then nobody gets anymore food until 10pm when their wet...
