    Peeing issue and Cat Genie (automated cat box)

    Hi! I need some help with getting one of our cats to adopt the cat genie. We thought that she was using the box on a regular basis but we found her hiding spot for going #2 in the dining room and we just found out that she was going #1 in one of the boxes (we just moved into our house four...

    Moving and behavior

    We moved over the weekend from an apartment into a house with our two cats, Sassy La Rue and Lola Rocket. We didn't expect instant acceptance from the cats and Sassy took to the new house like a champ but Lola was a lot more hesitant. We put both cats in 'safe rooms' while moving and the movers...

    First dental cleaning?

    We have two cats: Sassy La Rue, a CRF'er and Lola Rocket - healthy, way too energetic one year-old. Since the vet doesn't recommend cleaning her teeth, we've never had a kitty cat dental cleaning (and her mom has a true fear of the dentist so she has no problem helping her feline avoid it) but...

    My cat feels a need to kill Toilet Paper

    Lola is almost a year old and we've had her in as a part of our family since December. The only problem we had with her was she and our other cat, Sassy La Rue, getting to know each other. But starting last Thursday, we've been coming home to rolls of toilet paper being shredded all over the...

    Eye problem: Winking cat

    We just got a new cat, Lola Rocket, and she and Sassy La Rue are getting along great. But tonight, Sassy won't close her left eye. It doesn't appear to be bothering her but she looks like she's persistently winking at us. I'm trying to figure out what could have caused this issue and if/when to...

    Question about Signatures

    You guys have made me some beautiful signatures but when I post them to a hosting site, such as flckr, it doubles the file size. Is there something that I'm doing wrong in the saving of the file? Thanks in advance! EDIT: I figured out a solution- I think!

    Great news...(bragging)

    A little background...I got laid off at the beginning of August. It was a bit of shocker and a blow to the ego but I took it in stride. A couple weeks later the headhunters started to call. One job in particular got my interest, so I decided to pursue it. I thought it was going to be for an...

    Now I know why my vet is so expensive...

    Typically when I take Sassy in for her check up (she had a major kidney infection/failure) I'm put in exam room 2. The other day I was put in another room and on the wall was a picture of George and Barbara Bush along with a note thanking the doctor for his years of service taking care of their...
