Thanks for the suggestions - yeah Feliway doesn't seem to help my kitty. But I can try Rescue Remedy. I also wish I could find a way to safely secure him in the back window - I think if he could see out of the car he would be happier (on one particularly trafficy ride I held up the carrier...

My cat is not a big fan of traveling. Honestly, the traveling doesn't freak him out. But he doesn't enjoy being trapped in a cat carrier for an hour. Being told where to be is not his thing. When I used to have my ex-bf in my car we would just let him out and he wouldn't mind traveling...

Thank you EVERYONE for your suggestions. Everything has been hugely helpful. I have taken a lot of the advice. I have both spray bottle and the compressed air - he will respond to one for a week or two then not care anymore and I swap back to the other - so far its working really well to save...

I've been meaning to do this outside my window - but I have to find a way to pull the screen off first. Yeah sadly the laser thing while I'm studying doesn't work. He knows if I'm paying attention to him or not. If I'm not actually paying attention to him he won't chase the laser or bird toy...

No offense. But no way. I'm not going to rehome him. I spend way more time with him than any person that works 9-5, which is what the majority of cat owners are. As I said in my first post - me being home TOO MUCH is what has caused this. I used to play with him probably a total of 2-3...

Well thats what I've been doing for months - but thats made him completely spoiled and constantly attention seeking. I don't think it was the best choice I ever made. The compressed air is working great!! So thanks for that Siddy Meow.

I mean the actual amount my complex charges for a pet. He already costs me $25 a month. Another cat would add another $25 and its just too much of a strain on my budget.

Well thank you for the suggestions, but thats what I was talking about when I said "punishing." Its not like I was asking for the best way to beat my kitten...

I'll try the compressed air. And yeah I was concerned about the water and baths but it actually doesn't make baths any harder. He doesn't really mind them too much. His problem seems to be more that I'm holding him still to wet him and soap him up than it is that I'm getting him wet. I...

Thanks, I'll try that. I used to play with him when he did stuff like this - but I have less time now. But I think because I used to play with him when he did stuff like this I encouraged him.

He's got most of that stuff - and like I said I am playing with him again. I have always played him for several times a day for like 15-20 min per time plus all the little periods where I play with him for a few minutes. It was only like 2 days where I was busy and then busy catching up on...

So I have had my Kitty, Skimble, for about 3.5 months. He's 8 months old. He's a little spoiled, and well loved, has tons of toys, and I play with him a couple of times a day, and take breaks frequently to pet him or love on him. He often lays on my desk while I'm studying and I pet him. In...

Its not that uncommon. One of my older cats had that problem - he actually still managed to hunt pretty well. Happens in people too. I don't have my canines and I'm missing 4 molars. Its just a developmental abnormality where the buds for the adult teeth should develop during embryogenesis...

So I have one of the da bird toys for my kitty (who is now about 6.5 months old). And he loves it to death. Literally - he loves to attack them and pounce it and sometimes I let him catch it just so he feels like he did something (and he's always so proud of himself when he gets to walk away...

Ok thanks, good to know - 10 hrs seemed like a long time but I thought maybe he was just scared. He finally peed, but not in the litter box. He jumped into my trashcan and while me and the bf were gooing and gaaing over it and taking pictures he was peeing.... I moved the litter box out into...

I just adopted a 5 month old kitten from a rescue. He seems well adjusted to being around me and in my room (he's very outgoing). But he's been here for almost 10 hrs now and hasn't gone potty. He has plain clay litter in his box (what they told me to use), but he hasn't used it and every...

Yeah it was probably shortly after the site started when there were lots of...what do they call em'? Spiders? The google, yahoo, and other search engine bots that crawl through sites caching the pages and putting it in the search engine. A small forum I was part of the set-up of had like 120...

Call the humane society and report the neighbor. Thats the most humane thing to do. Sucks for the neighbor - but too bad. Now way those cats are living healthy lives - they should be taken better care of and spayed/neutered. The neighbor is probably breaking several laws by having that many...

Now that I have this cat tree...I have a concern. Could a 'used' cat tree hurt my new kitty? The lady I bought it from said her cat wouldn't touch it...but also said that he has some skin condition caused by allergies or something. I vacuumed the heck out of it and didn't get much cat hair...

Spiders. Absolutely terrified of them. I was working in a job last year that required me to enter a lot of not-often-accessed boiler rooms and I sometimes had to go in hunt of rocks and stick to knock down spiders blocking the door because I can't bring myself to go near them. I wasn't scared...
