    Feline Pine - does it hurt???

    My Daisy never liked it but she had to use it after being spayed. I noticed she stopped covering so after a while, I had to change to a litter that feels sandy.

    Litter boxes

    I have two of those Van Ness Exlarge enclosed litter box that I bought at Target for like 12 bucks each. If I may, I would like to suggest using a natural litter rather than clay. Clay litter will get ingested by your cat which can really mess up his internal. I have tried many litters and I...

    Dawn to get rid of fleas?

    I remember many years ago Alaska has some massive oil spill that Dawn came out and donated their product to the wildlife organization to help clean the oil off of marine wildlife animals. I remember seeing commercials about it too! That being said, I think Dawn (original) is known to be safe to...

    That's so sweet of your parents giving such a nice loving home to Lucy!! I recently had my mom babysit my furbabies for three weeks. She isn't a pet person so it was very nice of her to watch them for me. I told her she better not fall in love with my furbabies because I'm coming back for them...

    My kitten kitten has gass

    If it's not worms then your cat may just have gastrointestinal disorder. My cat use to get gas all the time and soft stools too. The Vet had her tested for many things including blood test. The vet gave me Hill's prescription I/D then I slowly transition her to California Natural chicken and...

    A vet visit is the best. One of my cat has IBS (she had soft stools and was gassy) so the vet gave her Hill's prescription diet I/D then I slowly switched her to California Natural chicken an brown rice and she has been doing well since. I didn't like the Hill's PD because of the ingredients...

    Best quality clumping litter?

    I got my babies a litter robot two weeks ago. I started introducing them the robot with litter a week ago and they are SCARED!!! I turned off the robot so that it won't clean until I turn it on. I'm using Miracle litter and it clumps really well. One of my baby tries the robot the other day and...

    bathing and fleas

    I was surprised about this but Dawn dish liquid soap was recommended by my vet to use on my cats. Although they had no fleas on them but I still use that whenever I give them a bath. I remember Dawn use to have commercials cleaning up animals from oil spills.

    Will Kitty Be Cold?

    I keep my house at 68 and I still find it cold. I have a fleece throw for them on the sofa as well as a large self heating pad on their bed and a condo tent with nice warm pads too. I know during the winter they like to sleep under my blanket with their heads peeping out. It's really funny and...

    Microchip implants

    I was just thinking about getting my two babies microchipped. I am not sure whether it is painful and I wasn't really thinking back when they got spayed and neutered. I'll be taking them to clean their teeth so they will be anesthetized so might as well get them microchipped at the same time...

    What would you reccomend?

    I really liked the feline pine but one of my furbaby just would NOT cover her poop so I had to change back to Scoopaway and she immediately covered her poop. Since my other furbaby had light asthma so I went with Nature's Miracle which is corn based. Although it's more expensive than clay but it...

    New pics of my little buddy

    OMG! So cute! Ouch! That looks painful. Looking from the pictures, I see his canines but not sure if those are permanent or not. I am guessing your cat is about 4-5 months. I remember this only because that's when I got my two cats at around 4 months of age.

    Picking up very large cats

    I hold both of my cats baby style. It seems that is the most comfortable position and sometimes they will fall asleep while being cradled in my arms.

    Getting colder now..

    During the winter, indoor temp is about 60-65. I have a self warming thermal pad for my cats that I put over their bedding. One of my cat likes to sleep under the blanket close to me during the winter. I guess she gets warmth from me while my other one sleeps near my legs: he has more insulation...

    furminator vs. knock-off brands

    I have never tried the knock off furminator before but I have the real one and it works wonder. It's amazing how much fur I can get off from my short hair cats. I could make a mini pillow from the furs I get off of them. They even like to use it to brush against their face. I'm very careful...
