What does it mean when a cat makes a burying/scratching motion around the food bowl after eating? Is she trying to get rid of the food or save it for later or what? Whitney (who is probably 14-15 months old) does this at least once a day. I don't think she's really fond of the food (Wellness...

My local pet store has started carrying a new cat food called "Before Grain" (http://www.beforegrain.com). Does anyone here have any experience or opinions on how it compares to other cat foods? Mez

I've read that most adult cats have lactose issues and therefore shouldn't have milk. However, neither Charlie nor Ashley seem to have any issues with it. Are there any other reasons I shouldn't give them a little bowl of milk each morning? Mez

For the last year or so that I've had cats I've always considered the top of the refrigerator (about 6ft tall) as a "safe" place. About a month ago I got another cat Charlie (2yr male, cream tabby) and he has proven that wrong at least twice now. The first time I saw him jump up there he went...

One of my local feed stores has started carrying the Exclusive brand of dog and cat food and I was wondering what people on here think of it. I tried searching for "exclusive" but obviously got a ton of unrelated results. Here is the product page and here is the ingredient list: INGREDIENTS...

I adopted a new cat Cricket (16mo female, solid black w/ copper eyes) and the shelter included a free 4# bag of Felidae Cat & Kitten dry food. Searching on here I've found opinions on the Felidae canned food but not much on the dry formula. Anyone have any good/bad opinions on the Felidae Cat &...

I had Missy put to sleep yesterday. She developed an intestinal block which would have required surgery to correct and I just couldn't justify the $1000+ expense. When I got her in December I was told she was 4 months old, which would make her right at 1 year old this month. Mez

Since Saturday afternoon/evening Missy (~ 1 yo female) has been keeping her right eye mostly shut. If something gets her attention she will open it wide but the pupil won't dilate as wide as the left eye. I took her to the vet today but the vet couldn't find any sign of debris or scratch or...

I currently have 2 female cats. Missy is around 10 months and Ashley is around 2 years. Ever since I got Ashley a few months ago I've been noticing that Missy has slowly been getting more and more timid. Before Ashley whenever someone came to the door Missy would be sitting just inside to see...

I adopted Ashley ("Ash") from the local shelter on April 18. She is a blue classic tabby and the shelter estimated her age at between 1.5 and 2 years. Introductions between her and Missy couldn't have been easier. That evening I let them see each other and Missy hissed and growled a bit as...

I adopted Silk (9mo female kitten) about a month ago and now she has a fairly severe cough and is sneezing quite a bit. I took her to the vet Friday where they examined her and since she didn't have any fever or other signs of illness they gave her a depo shot thinking it might just be...

I've noticed today that when Junior (11.5 months) is lounging around, his right eye isn't open as wide as his left. When I first noticed it, he had it squinted almost completely closed. I caught him and opened it with my fingers to see if I could see anything obviously wrong but I couldn't and...

Missy went in to be spayed Friday morning and I picked her up yesterday morning. She's doing fine but from the moment she got home Junior has been very hostile towards her (and towards me if Missy is in my lap). It started out with just the usual hissing and growling but has progressed to Junior...

OK, so I got Da Bird about a month ago plus refills. Junior and Missy both loved it and would compete while chasing it. I had to be careful to avoid midair collisions between them. However, Missy likes to chew on the feathers so it was time to order more. This time I ordered a 12-pack of refills...

I've been under the weather since late last night with flu-like symptoms and haven't felt like doing much so I decided to watch Spiderman 3 earlier. Shortly after I started the movie, Junior jumped into my lap, begged for 5-10 minutes of petting, then fell asleep. He would still be there if I...

There's a lady on Miami Ink right now getting a tattoo of a cat. She rescues them and currently has 24. The cat's name was Damien and was killed by a dog she rescued. Damien appeared to be a tuxedo with a black head and white chest. Mez

I spent yesterday at my brothers and didn't get home until 9pm or so. When I walked in, Junior and Missy were laying on the kitchen counter where I prepare their food bowls (they've never done that before). I guess they just wanted to make sure I knew their dinner was 3 hours late.

For the past week and a half or so Junior has frequently tried to groom Missy but she's always fought him off. I've never seen Missy try to groom Junior until now. Junior was laying on the desk in front of me and Missy jumped up and started cleaning Junior's ear and face! This went on for a...

I went and saw this last night and walked away slightly disappointed (only slightly because I didn't have high expectations going in). Not only is the action not nearly as good as the first movie but the story line is even less plausible than the first (I know that's hard to believe, but it's...

Junior isn't much of a lap kitty but Missy definitely is!
