Hi- I'm writing about my cat oreo. I take him to the vet routinely, every 6 months to a year. This past check up a couple weeks ago the vet noticed a heart murmur. It wasnt there before, so she ordered a echocardiogram. Turns out he has some heart disease, mild she said. But supposedly its...

My cat did that last week for the first time and it scared me too.. Then I realized that he ate a whole bowl of food, and THEN drank half a dish of water... the combination just bloated him and whoops! up it came. try feeding him smaller portions more frequently. and make sure there is water...

I visited my mom and she just got a new maine coon/ persian female cat. She calls her the drape cat cuz you can pick her up and she'll just drape whereever you hold her. She's 2 years old. I'm so jealous. I have these two ridiculous male cats ages 2 and 5 who, I swear, have declared the...

My youngest cat does it too when he wants something that he cant reach (like the laser I point on the wall, a bird, mouse, squirrel, etc)... totally normal. really cute..

The dumbest thing I ever did was give my cat boxes with treats in them to open... you know, for mental stimuli, right? yea no, this turned my cats into little terrors that could open just about anything. My oldest cat figured out how to open doors and turn on lights. Cupboards were a favourite...

kitties definitely need their nails trimmed. I just clipped mine after I found him looking rather pathetic as he sat there with one paw stuck in the ropes on his scratching post. My other cat gets his paws stuck on carpets sometimes as well. nevermind what their claws do to you when they go to...

hey- So I havent gone for really long car rides with my boys, but I've had them in the car for a couple hours before. I let one of my cats loose in the car because he stays in the back and just curls up next to my other one. My other boy stays in his carrier because he gets nervous and just...

hello- I have to say that I've been through a million different litter boxes trying to find the best fit for my cats and our ability to remember to scoop it. The rolling litterboxes were great. I didnt have any problems with those. You just need to used a clumping litter. Then my fiance got me...

Oh man, I nearly died laughing. I'm at work and I swear my clients must think I'm nuts. My cats go CRAZY. Their eyes get all big, tails straight up, and its just back and forth, running horizontally along furniture, clearing all flat surfaces in a single bound. when I was in my last place, it...

yup. summer=lazy kitties. My two have been sprawled out on the floor for the last 2 weeks, on their backs with paws spread. They dont even respond to the laser. Just follow it with their eyes.

I have a black cat too, and what happens is cats have the second layer of hair underneath, the undercoat, which often times is lighter, if not white, than the top coat. I also have a grey tiger cat and I pull grey hairs from him too. Its actually good that youre pulling the undercoat up, cuz...

Funny situation. I came home from work to find my cat's eye was all swollen and he refused to open it. I took him to the kitty ER (cuz they're no point in risking his vision) and once we were seen, the vet did an eye stain on him. Turned out his cornea was abraded not by something sharp, but...

yea my adults do it. Thats so funny we call it the 11pm and 5am FREAKOUTS!!!!! Where they just run crazy around the house, do backflips and tackle each other. 20 mins later they're done and snoozing on the couch.

First - the hair pulling I think is something some cats do, like grooming. Consider it a compliment, but dont let him do it. My cat started when he was a baby pulling my hair out. I thought it was cute, but now he's big. Luckily I stopped him. Any time he tries, I just pick him up and move him...

cats are freakishly independent animals. Often times they wont respond to a name because its not in their nature. My youngest cat, well we call him kitten. His offical name is Buddha (cuz the way he sits) but he only responds to kitten cuz we'd always yell "GET THE KITTEN!" "KITTEN NO!" BAD...

kitty pilates?

Oh my god do I feel your pain. My cats hang ten off the counters eevery day and are wicked sneaky. Nothing I have tried has had a permanent solution. I mean, you cant stop them from jumping up when you're at work! My next trick is to try the Scat Mats. It give your cat a little shock if it steps...

My cat sucks on my hair!!!!

Yea, sucking is just a reflex that some kittens hang on to if they are taken to early. Its a comfort thing. Usually they suck on their arm. I had a kitten, briefly, that sucked on his ahem . It made an aweful noise and along with other issues, we eventually found him a new home.

I used feliway and had positive results. I sprayed it on all the corners and legs of furniture, anywhere where cats might rub against something. Spray it on door frames, moulding, cat doors, legs of tables chairs, near the food dishes, litter boxes, everything.
