    post some funny stories of your cats behavior

    Lol, clowangel! The litterbox just completes it. And I love the nonchalant attitude when a cat does something silly that they give. On flies: A cat I had from childhood until she passed away earlier this year never killed anything either...although she caught things. Once, in my college...

    Best food for Urinary Problems?

    They gave us some canned food for a month that was prescription. The vet said that the food from the store should be fine, and dry food would be fine because he'd "probably never have a problem again." I had removed the blockage before the vet opened in the morning so most of the plug was out...

    Best food for Urinary Problems?

    Hi all. My husband's and my two year old male cat has had urinary blockages twice. Now he gets a substantial amount of canned food since we figured out he hates drinking water (no matter if it's fresh or not). We also add a teaspoon or so of water to his food once a day. It hasn't returned but...

    Do your cats wear collars?

    Once my Merfy (now deceased) got out and was lost for 24 hours. After that all my cats have had collars. Isosceles has had the same collar since he grew into it. (about two years) Sedna has only had hers for the past two months since she's new. I picked collars that match their personalities...

    What's the best kitty litter?

    ...unfortunately my cat did not like World's best. He refused to go pee. He's meticulous so I'm hesitant to experiment too much with him. The other cat is fine with whatever I put in her box. He seems to like Arm and Hammer Multi-Cat. I don't smell anything from the box with that stuff, so...

    Advice re. Skittish Cat

    Hi restondi...maybe this will work for you in the long term? A couple of months ago my husband and I adopted a 2 year old very shy kitty. She'd been at the shelter for about 5 months. She also is afraid of being picked up, but very affectionate otherwise. Currently I'm trying to just be...

    I don't know WHAT they're doing now.

    Okay. So we're headed into Merfy and Isosceles: Living together, Month three. I'm still not sure if they're getting along. Merfy growls and hisses at Isosceles whenever she gets a chance. I've never heard such guttural, nasty sounding noises come out of her before. Right now she's on a...

    How does anyone with cats ever get out of the house on time?

    lookingglass: You..you can make your bed? Epona: How old are your cats? I'm just curious. Merfy is 13 and stopped bothering me in the morning a couple of years ago. It wasn't all of the sudden...more of a gradual thing. She started looking as groggy as me in the mornings! She's at the stage...

    Isosceles's progress: July 4th-Sept. 8th

    Thanks, everyone! My fiancee came up with the name. I nearly named him Dante, because he looked like he'd gone through hell (plus I was reading Dante's Inferno at the time and thought it would be a cute name for him.) But my fiancee wanted to name him Virgil, but I thought that implied he was...

    All Kitties Step Up and Be Accounted for

    I have two, and that's all I can handle. Merfy is 13 years old and has been my bestest bud since I was in the 7th grade. She's cantankerous, drinks only with her paws, seems to order me to clean up messes she finds, thinks she's the boss of us...and she might be right. She hates Isosceles...

    Isosceles's progress: July 4th-Sept. 8th

    I said a long time ago I'd post before and after pictures of Isosceles's progress...from the time we found him in the yard, until now as a young fiesty cat. We think he was born some time around early April. (I hope I'm doing this right!) This is on July 4th. Isosceles has an upper...

    Help...Kitty just neutered and won't calm down!

    Lol! yeah they really don't seem to listen to the vet. Sometimes I suspect he understands words. I mean, I know it sounds silly but this morning I was about to leave, and Isosceles was standing by the door. I didn't want him getting out (he loves to be chased. He'll let you get reaaaally...

    Help...Kitty just neutered and won't calm down!

    Well, there's the bathroom. All our rooms are pretty small. It's an old house with little rooms. I know he's not supposed to get it wet though... Oh! the food is a great idea. They told me he might get nauseous after eating today, but he's eaten, and wanted more, no vomitting, so I think if we...

    Pet health insurance?

    That looks great. I'm wondering...would any plan take a 13 year old cat? I wish I'd had insurance with her, but I got her as a kid and my parents are the "cats are cheap" types, so they make fun of me having Isosceles in a wellness plan. (Don't worry. They have no pets! they know they...

    Help...Kitty just neutered and won't calm down!

    The vet told us Isosceles would be sleepy after his surgery (done earlier today under general anesthesia), so it wouldn't be a problem to keep him calm so that he won't rip his stitches. Isosceles is not sleepy. He wants to PLAAAAY! He brought various toys to me to fetch and I took them away...

    RAW cat food.

    I'm curious here because I saw this mentioned in other posts and so I looked it up myself. http://www.onlynaturalpet.com/produc...ks/165009.aspx Would your cats willingly eat that, no problem? I'm only asking because Merf...well, won't eat anything that resembles people food. I mean, I have...

    What food do you use and WHY:)

    I had this whole thing typed and it somehow deleted itself. (well, I probably pressed a bad key, but no matter.) Merfy has been eating "natural" type foods for a while now. I mostly go by the ingredient list...whatever lists a meat product as the first ingredient and the fillers are either...

    How can I tell if it's aggression?

    Okay, good to know! I really wasn't sure. I've never had more than one cat before. New territory! I guess i got concerned because she's acting slightly aggressively. Thanks!
