    How would you eliminate cat pee odor from leather?

    Like from a baseball glove? One of the cats peed on her baseball stuff, but there's no telling how old or fresh this is. The guy at PetsMart was no help, and I don't want to ruin the material. Any suggestions? Tricia

    I went out of town for a few days...

    And when I got back all four kitties were getting along better than ever! I am so happy with how smoothly everything is going. Possum keeps trying to play with Minion, although Minion looks like he doesn't know what to make of it. Possum also really likes Mouser, much to Mouser's chagrin and...

    Pooping problems

    I'm concerned about my sister's cat's (Mouser and Minion) bathroom habits. They are about 7 and 6, respectively, and they both seem to be constipated. They strain to poop, and when they do, it's incredibly loose, like diarrhea (it ends up shooting out). A few nights ago, when I cleaned out...

    Why must all the animals...

    ...in this house just absolutely love me?! They all want to lie by me when I'm going to sleep or when I'm on the couch. However Mouser and Minion aren't past the hissing "get the away from me" stage. And Jinx is still at the "I want to sniff you and put my massive head in your face" stage...

    The introductions are going really well, so far

    I'm optimistic, butt still cautiously so. Loki and Possum are beginning to explore and not be so freaked out by their cousins. I'm so proud of them! Mouser and Minion (the cats) aren't incredibly happy about their new housemates, but no one's attacking each other, just hissing and growling...

    So, I'm moving...

    Yeah, so, Loki, Possum, and I are going to be moving in mid-June. We're moving in with my sister... and her 2 cats and dog. The boys are definitely going to have more space to run around in because we're moving from a small apartment to a 2-story house with a basement. I have a gameplan for...

    I'm going to start volunteering!

    I hope I can handle it. I'll be volunteering at the local Humane Society. I've alreaady done the orientation, and apparently now I can go there whenever I want and decide to do whatever I want. I'm working every day until next Thursday, but since I have class that day, I hope I can volunteer...

    Poor Loki!

    Loki seems to be scared of his own poop. Um, yeah. In the past 2 weeks, there have been 2 incidents where, after he went, there were some, um, "hangers-on". The first time I had no idea what was going on because he was running around in a panic, but finally stopped. A few minutes later, I...

    Am I feeding them too little?

    Okay, Both Loki and Possum are overweight, so I've put them on a diet. Before, I fed each cat a 3 oz. can of Fancy Feast a day, but they didn't always eat all of it. I also fed them each about 3/8 of a cup of Purina One a day. With this, Loki has pretty much stayed at 14 lbs. and Possum has...

    Possum's fur is finally growing back

    And it took freakin' long enough! For those who don't remember, Possum had pulled out all his belly fur last June and July (never did figure out the exact cause) and 6 months later it still hadn't grown back, though he wasn't pulling it out anymore. A few weeks ago I noticed that the fuzz had...

    My Babies "Sent" me a Valentine's Day Card!

    Well, Fed Ex delivered my package from my Dad today (a day late; he paid for 2nd Day, so hopefully he can get a refund). When I opened it up I found 2 cards, with one addressed to "Our Mom". Inside it was a message from my boys! My Dad said that Loki and Possum called him and asked him to...

    Cat tree!!!

    "Santa Claws" got my boys a cat tree for Christmas and it arrived to today! I've already put it together, and it's pretty neat! Loki really seems to like it, and has been spending a lot of time on top on the cat perch. Finally, now Loki can be somewhere up high. Possum has been more...

    Woo Loki!

    Today is the one year anniversary of me adopting Loki! I cannot express how much he means to me. I know he's happy to have me as a mommy, and happy to be living with me in a nice, safe, and warm home. I know he's happy to have a brother who loves him in Possum. He's my sweet boy. I have...

    The Tales of Beedle the Bard

    If you don't know about this, this is the book that is mentioned in the last Harry Potter book. After finishing the series J.K. Rowling wrote an actual "Tales of Beedle the Bard" book, and handwrote and illustrated 7 copies and gave six of them to friends and family. Recently, Amazon.com...

    Holiday Traveling Questions

    Please put this in the correct forum if it's in the wrong forum. I know this has been asked about before, and recently, but I couldn't remember which forum, and tried and failed with the "Search" feature. Also, my situation might be slightly different, as well. I'm going home for 3-4 days for...

    How do you clean petroleum jelly off a car?

    Some stupid jerk put a huge glob of petroleum jelly under my car handle so when I would open it I would get on my fingers. God, I have no idea why anyone would think this is funny. I'm just so upset. I didn't need this. Why would anyone do this. Apparently one of my bosses thought it was...

    Hair Growth

    How long does it take for cats' fur to grow back? Over the summer (June-July), Possum pulled out a huge patch of fur on his belly, and it seems to be growing really, really slowly. Right now it's longish fuzz. Is this normal? I don't think he's still pulling this particular patch of fur...

    Noticeable Physical Differences After Adoption?

    When I was meeting Loki for the first time at the Humane Society I noticed that is coat felt like straw. It didn't feel good at all to touch. I was disappointed, but not enough so that Loki didn't come home with me! However, within a few days of bringing him home his coat was much, much...
