    Is it wrong...

    to dream about people that have died? I've caught myself dreaming of someone a lot lately because my relationship has been nothing but arguements for the last few weeks... It's like I dream about this person to get my mind off the problems because I was happy with this other person who is no...

    Need Dry Food Suggestions

    My boyfriend's mother needs a cat food that won't break her wallet (she has 9 cats), that they can keep down (some do good on some foods and others throw it up right after eating), and won't give her males crystals (UTI)... Any suggestions? I don't know what to tell her because I only have Petrie..

    "off" days during teething?

    Petrie is turning 5 months old and he's teething... He's the size of an adult cat (around 10lbs) and he hasn't had the "starving" appetite these last two days like he's had since I got him... All he's done is sleep and mope around.. Do they get almost lethargic like when they teeth? He's my...

    Why do they "make bread"?

    Petrie has started doing this almost obsessively over the last few weeks.. He'll be "making bread" and hold whatever it is in his mouth that he's doing this too (blankets, etc).. When I'm in bed he does it on my back (he doesn't bite though) and it actually feels good! Free back massage! He...

    Litterbox smell

    Okay... Petrie's litterbox smells! I have it in the bathroom and keep the door *slightly* open.. Just enough for him to walk through and keep the dogs out.. But no.. its not good enough for him and he'll push the door completely open. If I'm gone for a few hours the smell almost knocks me over...

    Food Aggression in Cats?

    Can cats be food aggressive? When I joined, I didn't post the story of how we came to get Petrie, but if I'm feeding him and another cat or dog comes by he grumbles. He's swiped at the cats (I'm talking about my bf's moms cats - I only have Petrie - but I take him with me everywhere because he...

    New Here

    Hi. My name is Kenya.. I'm new here... I have one kitty right now who is (according to my vet) a poorly bred bengal. He has a nice pelt, but his pattern is more like a classic tabby and not chaotic looking. He's opening up wonderfully though! I put a deposit down on a little classic tabby Sphynx...
