Hello! I recently moved into a condo that has a loft overlooking the living room. My 14 and 4 year old cats like to walk, sit, or even lay on it occasionally...they have seemed careful so far (these past 4 months). However I would like to add a kitten and am worried the kitten would fall off. Is...
Has anyone seen anything like this in your cat?
She started chewing on nothing about 5 months ago, when she was almost a year and a half years old. Shortly after it started, I showed the vet a video during her checkup - he checked her mouth (and did the rest of the typical checkup) and said...
I thought it would be nice to decorate for Christmas for the first time in 5 years....but unfortunately, my cat started chewing on the artificial tree's branches. I googled and discovered that bitter apple spray might deter chewing. Does anyone use that and recommend it? (and I assume it is...
I'm a little concerned about my cat because he suddenly started getting very picky yesterday. Here are the details:
-For about 10 days, I have only been feeding the cats canned food (they used to eat a combination of canned and dry) because my other cat had tooth extractions. He didn't seem...
Hi, I took my kitty in for a dental today and she needed an extraction. She seems to be doing well,....drowsy (a couple times, her legs seemed to give out when she was walking), but she is exploring everything and seems to be slowly getting back to normal. My vet said, however, that the...
My kitty developed an eye infection that I posted about back in June...she was at the vet a couple times for it and got an antibiotic ointment at the first appointment and drops at the second...the vet said that it may be herpes and, with herpes, all you can do is try to reduce stress and...
I am so discouraged... about 3 weeks ago, my cat's eye was extremely watery and had brown tears all around her eye...under her eyelid seemed red. So I took her to the vet and got an antibiotic ointment. It seemed like her eye was clearing up...then, after a week, it was suddenly very red and...
Vet recommended my cats lose a couple pounds and recommended Iams Indoor Hairball Formula (dry) food for it's low calories. I initially got that, but there is so much crap filler in it...the ingredients look so gross.... after coming across the ingredients in Chicken Soup Light, I decided to try...
Ugh, I feel so bothered about trying to figure out who is best equipped to take care of my cats. Long-story-short is that I really never have a good feeling leaving my current vet and I don't feel the trust I want to feel... so I am shopping around for a new vet. My young cats have heart...
My cats had their annual vet visit yesterday - this is the first time they have been weighed as full grown kitties (they will be 2 in a couple weeks) and my boy Jared was a healthy 14 lbs and 9 oz and my girl Christie was a healthy 13 lbs. They are so big and cuddly Overall, the feedback on...
I just moved to an apartment and have discovered that there are a bunch of ants living under the carpeting and I am sick of the steady stream of ants on my carpet when they come out. I would love to kill them with a spray, but of course would rather deal with the ants than put the cats in...
My kittens are going to be a year old in a couple weeks and it is time to transition them away from kitten food (I can't believe they won't be kittens anymore!) I avoided making a decision for awhile what to feed them and finally decided to keep them on Nutro Natural Choice because they seem to...
I will be starting a new job, so I am apartment hunting in a new city and called "cat friendly" apartment after "cat friendly" apartment and they all said they require declawing...it's so ridiculous that, while my cats are trained to scratch their scratching posts, apartments would still impose...
my cats snatched my pop bottle cap (from a 20 oz bottle) and today it has become their favorite toy...they are hitting it back and forth to each other and carrying it around in their mouth. I am debating on whether I need to take it away - do you see a pop bottle cap as something they could...
My long-haired cats keep getting mats around their butts. I work on these mats with a dematting comb, but they really hate me messing with their butt fur and we never can get through a whole mat. I am considering taking them to a groomer so we can just start over with no mats and use daily...
I haven't shared pictures of my cats since they were little, so here are a few:
Christie:
Jared:
I know they are DMH or DLH kitties, but I think they have some Maine Coonish features and behaviors. Physically, the mane, "britches" on the backs of their legs, longer stomach hair, rounded...
I have a couple very fluffy, soft, huggable medium/long-haired 10 month old kittens. I need to start grooming them better and am considering a Furminator. I hear a lot about big piles of fur after using it.....would this thin the cats' hair out so they aren't as fluffy anymore? And how does...
Anyone know of any good options to try to kitty-proof kitchen cabinets that do not have handles on them? The cats now think it's fun to open and go into the cupboard that holds the garbage can and kitchen cleaning supplies...and I want them away from that stuff. I wish they had handles..seems...
