Hello! Originally, I tried feeding my 2 cats a grain free diet, they completely ignore wet food (I tried all kinds: wellness, Ivo, etc) but one of them had serious BM issues, (had trouble going, stunk up the house, etc). so I switched to Wellness for indoor cats (dry). They did fine on that for...

Hello! My 2 sister-kitties are 2 years old. They have always play-fought, but over the past few months I am concerned that their "fighting" may be getting more aggressive. The girls are from the same litter. One is smaller than the other (the larger girl has about 2-4 lbs to lose, and is a bit...

Hello! I've read several posts about this phenomenon, and I want to ask a few questions. One of my cats "expresses" her anal glad (emitting that horrible stench and a small spray of brown nasty-ness) when she is purring. This doesn't happen all of the time, maybe once every three weeks...

Hello! I've had 2 sister cats for a year and a half. Over the last few weeks, the smaller (thinner and more agile) of the 2 has started to jump high onto a bookshelf (which is above my head, I'm 5'5") and seems to INTENTIONALLY knock over the fragile nic-nacs on that shelf. At first, I was...

Hello! I am wondering if anyone has insight about an all-natrual flea deterrent. My kitties are indoor girls, but they still got fleas once... so I have been treating them with Frontline for about 6 months. I am afraid to stop treating them b/c I don't want fleas in my house again. But, I...

Hi everyone! My little adventurer gets into everything. She must have done something recently that pulled at one of her rear claws. Tonight, when I was clipping her claws, I noticed the "nail" was crooked and mostly off of the skin sheath. I touched it and gently pulled it to asses the...

Happy New Year everyone! I am becoming concerned that one of my two kitties, Buttercup is getting fat. They are sisters and the other one (Sandy) is slim and more active. Buttecup is also active and plays a lot, but she also seems to eat and sleep more. She may be almost twice the size of...

Hello, My two sister kittens are 7 months old and have been indoor since I adopted them from the humane society when they were 5 months old. They were at the shelter for about a month before that. In the past few weeks, I noticed once on each of them what looks like a black speck (at...

Hello. My 6 and a half month old kittens have started the annoying habit of chewing on paper: regular paper, greeting cards, even cardboard boxes! This brought to mind a question regarding kittens losing teeth. Will their teeth fall out and new ones grow in like humans? Also, what do you all...

Hi! I have 2 6-month-old female kittens. I tried EVO dry for itprotein. One of the cats was fine, and the other seems to have stinky "output" and also may struggle in the litter box. I've checked, and it isn't diarreah and there doesn't seem to be any blood. She sometimes "chirrs" when she's...

Hi! My 5-month-old female kittens have been with me for a bit over 3 weeks. Over the past week, they have discovered that it's fun to jump up on the kitchen counter, up on the top of the fridge, and then above the kitchen cabinets. Also, they try to jump above the fireplace onto the mantle, up...

Hello! I recently adopted 2 lovely sister kittens. They are about 5 1/2 months old. I want to do everything I can to keep them in good health for as long as possible. I would like some of your expert opinions about the best food for them. Including: canned or dry? What brand name(s) are the...

Hello, I am new here. How do I get an avatar? Is there a "bank" of available avatars or do I have to upload my own? Either way, how do I do that? I've looked around in my Control Panel and dont' see any options anywhere for avatars. Do I need to have more posts to do this? Thank you! -LK

Hi everyone! What is the best pet store and/or brands of cat products? Both for pricing and quality. Are the big chains good? I need to get things like that apple spray (to keep my kitties from chewing wires) and double-sided tape (is this tape I can just get at any store?). I also want to...

Hi! I am looking for opinions on a good scratching post. I have 2 "scratch pods" made by "smartycat" where you can change the filler. My kittens use them both, but they still use my computer chair and kitchen mat (both of which I don't want scratched). I have one of the scratchers right under...

Hello all, I posted an earlier variation of this question in a previous post. But now, I am concerned about my kittens: Buttercup and Sandy 's play-fighting. I've learned that a certain amount of play-fighting is okay as long as they're not really hurt. This is my first time with more than one...

Hello all! I have two new kitties! Buttercup and Sandy are 5 months old and acclimating very nicely to my home. This is my first time with more than one cat, so some things I have not experienced before. I am hoping to get some advice about some behaviors: 1. Buttercup seems to be the...

Hello all! I am so glad to have found this forum! Sadly, I lost my 14-year-old cat back in August... It took me a while to heal and get back on my feet, but I did. Once I was better I knew it was time to give a home to some new kitties: I adopted two sister kittens last weekend from the...
