Hi, I haven’t posted on here in many, many years. Sorry in advance for the long post. At the end of last year we lost the last of our 3 kitties. Our female was 20 and the two boys were in their mid teens. Forward to two weeks ago, my husband and I found our house way too quiet and wanted to...

Does anyone have a source for a good non-vented air cleaner? I have two litter boxes in my laundry room, and need a way to "freshen" the air in the laundry room on a daily basis. Both my husband and I work out of our house and there is a unfortunate airflow problem of the air from the laundry...

I trimmed Forrest's nails tonight and I got one a little too short. No drops of blood but I can definitely see the tip of the quick. Do anyone know if this is painful for him? He does not seem to be licking it or favoring that foot. I feel like a horrible Meowmy.

Has anyone used one of these "Cat-Holes" on a door in their home? http://www.petdoors.com/inside_use_pet_doors.htm We have two of our litter boxes in the laundry room. Unfortunately the circulation in our home is quite unfortunate in that when the boys use a box the smell immediately goes down...

Whenever Forrest is in a playful mood and is physically higher than us (example: I am laying on the floor and Forrest is looking down at me from the coffee table, or when he is at the top of his tall cat tree looking down on my husband or me) he gets all excited and lunges at us making a sound...

Zachary, my newly adopted shelter cat has come down with a case of ringworm. I've got the cats taken care of, the constant cleaning of the house under control, and I've thrown out all the cardboard scratchers. I've spent quite a bit on money on a Purrfect Post - which my cats absolutely...

I've been thinking about ordering this 4 level cardboard playhouse for my kitties. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...id=14098&rel=1 I make cardboard playhouses for the cats all the time out of old boxes and they love them, but the ones I make are really ugly and are only one story. Has...

I just watched this YouTube video of an elephant painting a self portrait holding a flower. Wow... It's better than I can paint! I've also seen videos of cat's painting too. There's something about animals expressing themselves with art that make me think that their souls cannot be much...

For those of you who have multiple cat households....How do keep the kittens fed the calories they need with the older cats not gaining weight? Lilly has been gaining weight ever since I adopted Forrest. I'm beginning to think she is a "stress" eater. Now Forrest is starting to lose weight (at...

It's that time of the month again and my cats always run and hide when I get out the little vials of Revolution. They don't mind their claws being trimmed or any other grooming, but they HATE having the Revolution put on them. I've asked the Vet about this before and she says they don't like...

Forrest hurt his front leg yesterday. He was on my shoulder and jumped off when frightened by my husband coming around the corner with shopping bags. I knew as soon as I saw him hit the ground that he jumped "wrong". He immediately started limping - still putting weight on the front leg, but...

Late this afternoon I walked out into our living room and saw Forrest in the corner with something. I went over to investigate and he had a cockroach. Last night Forrest kept getting into the fireplace so I think it came down the chimney. I ran to grab some toilet paper so I can pick it up...

My cats love the little 3oz size cans of Wellness. I rotate the grain-free flavors so they don't get bored with having the same food day after day but I would like to add a little more variety to their diet. All the other high end canned food I've tried seems to be more pate' or loafish. I've...

For the past week or so Forrest has been spending more time with himself and less with/on me. He's eating and playing as normal but is not demanding as much attention from me. I was kinda getting used to having to hold or play with him constantly. Now he only wants attention from me when it...

Forrest is now 7.5 months old and is FINALLY starting to be less hyperactive, behaving himself and is less aggressive towards Lilly. Every day I've noticed that his spurts of "tornado-like" activity are getting shorter and shorter. He listens and behaves when I tell him no and he seems...

When we adopted Forrest at 14 weeks of age we had our vet microchip him. Instead of getting the microchip between his shoulders on his back, it ended up on the top portion of his right leg. Now that he has grown a bit, the chip sits halfway between his shoulder and his elbow on the front of...

Forrest is 7 months old and we adopted him in August. His relationship with Lilly (who is approx. 4 years old) has never been bad but they certainly are not the best of friends either. I think Lilly would like him if he just stopped being such a little beast to her. Forrest will lay down next...

I'm not sure what the exact term for the color of Forrest is. When you look at him, you would think he's an all black cat: However, his fur is actually only black on the 1/2 towards the tip, and gray at the base: All the fur on his body is like this - including his head and feet. In the...

Do any of your kitties talk while in the cat box? Whenever Forrest covers whatever he went into the box for, he starts his lyrical cat talking as he digs. Sometimes he stays in the box for a long time digging and singing. It's not quite so cute at 3:00am when he uses the box in our Master...

Lilly has within the past few weeks developed chin acne. She's now 4 and has never had it before. Her bowls are glass (human bowls), are changed and washed in the dishwasher after each meal - and her dishes are placed on white paper towels on the floor which get changed at least once a day. I...
