Storm Shadow (Stormy) is almost 3 years old.  She's always been a crazy cat and a little destructive.  She's eaten holes in my socks and pants.  Now she's scratching the carpet.  She scratches it up at the doorways, whether or not the door is open.  She's destroying patches of carpet because of...

We have a 1 year old cat "Storm", an 8 year old cat "Pansy" and a 2.5 year old black lab "Isis".  We have very few problems with Pansy but Storm is a whole other story.  She gets into everything, all the time. Good thing she's cute :)  Anyways, the problem we're facing right now is that she...

So we have our litter boxes in the furnace room downstairs. That's really the only place we can put them (in case you're concerned about this, our furnace is fairly new and super quiet, we've never had a problem with the cats being scared of the sound, even our most skittish cat is fine with...

I'm hoping that's what this is because that means it won't last Our 7 year old cat Tulip passed away in November. After much thought we decided we wanted to adopt a new kitten. We already have Tulip's sister Pansy and our almost 2-year old black lab Isis.  In February, we adopted Storm from...

I know this has been asked a dozen times or more but I'm completely confused about what type of cat food to buy. We recently lost Tulip who was an overweight cat and on a diet of Medi-Cal Calorie Control wet and dry food. Even though I've read that light foods may actually cause cats to gain...

We had to put tulip down today She was having breathing problems so last Friday I took her to the vet and he couldn't make a diagnosis. When we got home her breathing was worse and I didn't think she would make it throught the weekend. H works shift work out of town and he was away, he ended up...

So the vet got more blood tests results back for Tulip and her thyroid levels are really high (160 when they should be between 10 and 60). So we're pretty sure it's hyperthyroidism that's been causing her breathing problems. I've been reading a bit about it online and I'm not sure why the vet...

So I took Tulip to the vet Friday morning because she has been breathing heavily for a few days. I had to leave her there for xrays and blood tests, they said it could be a heart problem, asthma or a respiratory infection. The xrays are too fuzzy to tell much and the blood test was...

I posted on here last week asking if the noises Tulip has been making might be a symptom of a hairball (I never did get any responses) but since then, I've been told by numerous people that it's probably stress. She makes little grunting noises sometimes. She has every right to be stressed out...

Can someone please tell me the symptoms of hairballs? I have two cats, they've very rarely had hairballs and when they do, they get them out fairly easily. Over the last week I've noticed Tulip sort of coughing/wretching a bit but she never actually vomits anything up. She's also making a...

I have two cats, Tulip is overweight and has been on diet food for a few years. She's losing weight nicely but she's still not at her ideal weight yet so she's still on the diet food. The vet had me feeding both cats Medi-Cal Calorie control (by Royal Canin). I give Tulip both wet and dry food...

Sorry for the long post, but I thought I should give some background info... We got Isis (black lab puppy, now 4 months old) about 2 months ago. My cats, Tulip and Pansy are 6 years old. We have a 4 level split house and the cats have the entire bottom basement to themselves. Their litter...

I know there's been many threads on this and I've posted about this before but I've tried everything and I'm at a loss. I have two 6-year old female cats (sisters), Pansy and Tulip. My bf and I moved into a new house at the beginning of August. Tulip has always occassionally pooped outside the...

My boyfriend and I just got a black lab puppy. She's 8 weeks old and we named her Isis. Surprisingly, the cats are doing really well, they don't get too close but they come up the stairs for a look. Isis just wants to play with them. I've never had a puppy before and she's a lot of work so far...

I have two 6 year-old female cats (I've written about them on TCS before). They are both indoor cats so they've never encountered other animals before. My boyfriend and I are bringing home a black lab puppy (8 weeks old) on Sunday. We plan to keep the puppy enclosed in our large front foyer...

I have two female cats about 6 years old, Pansy and Tulip. Tulip is a chubby cat so the vet put her on a diet. It's working great, she's slowly but steadily losing weight. I have automatic feeders for each of them and I think that's helped alot. The feeders have a spot for ice packs underneath...

Hello. I have two female indoor cats (sisters - Pansy and Tulip). They are about 6 years old. I lived in a small one bedroom condo with them until recently. In my condo, I had one litter box that I scooped every morning. Occassionally, Tulip would poop on the floor just outside the litter box...

I have two cats about 4 years old. I was using wood pellets as litter for the last 4 years (that's what they were trained with at the shelter) but Tulip suddenly decided she didn't like that litter and kept pooping outside the box. After trying many things, I finally changed to sand litter and...

I have two cats, Tulip and Pansy. Tulip was recently put on a diet (as I've posted in here recently). It took a few days but I've finally got them both eating regularly again. With Christmas coming up, I've been wondering what I'm going to do when I go away for the holidays. I'll probably only...

I finally took my fat cat (Tulip) to the vet to get her checked out. The vet said she is overweight but otherwise seems healthy. We put her on a diet plan. I have another cat at home (Pansy) that is not overweight but I decided it would be easier if I transition them both to the new diet to make...
