My husband and I are thinking about having kids within the next year or so, and I was wondering about the experiences others have had with regards to cat behavior and proper introductions when a new infant enters the equation. I know the basics of not leaving children alone with animals, thats...
Does anyone have a decent cat shampoo that doesn't smell horribly of chemicals. The only thing I have been able to find is Hartz brand (which I will never use), and a brand I got from our feed store but it has a scent that makes me want to wretch. I don't care if my cat smells like...
Okay so 2 of my kitties now refuse to eat Wellness and then Innova (I don't get it they were eating it without issue last week and Evo does really bad things in regards to their litter box and poo softness... way too rich for my sweeties. I need a little help finding a decent food for my 2...
None of my pets jump on counters or on tabletops so I suppose I was a little lax in watching out for the cats while I made dinner tonight. I was making steak diane tonight and took out the meat and left it on the counter for 2 minutes to answer the phone. Big mistake, I came back to Nymeria...
(Not sure if this is this is the right forum, feel free to move my message)
We decided to take Nymeria to our local vet for the first time for a general check up after her spaying at the last week at the shelter were we adopted her from. When the vet looked at the paperwork and asked us how...
I noticed today that my girls have grown a bit so I decided to be snap-happy with the camera. I thought I would take some pics to start making a scrapbook so I thought I would share.
And one of Miles so he doesn't feel left out
My husband was taking a walk today and saw our neighbor down the road dump his gorgeous Russian Blue cat at the dam today. He just drove off and the cat was left there crying so my husband brought the cat home and knocked on the neighbors door asking if he may have lost his cat because he found...
Ok my husband and I have noticed that there have been many cats suddenly hanging out on our lawn, our porch, and on our cars of late. I know that the majority of cat owners in our area own outdoor cats, many of the males I have noticed are not neutered as well (sigh). We have a 4 month old...
I have lost cats before, however growing up all our cats were "working cats," Pixie was my first live-in cat friend, she was a stray kitten that we rescued and filled my life with fuzzy love for 14 years. She passed away do to complications with low-blood sugar (she was diabetic), and had...
I am trying to study for exams so I am being a bad kitty mommy and trying to get my kitty Min to give me some peace and to get off my books so I throw her one of her fuzzy mice and she runs to get it and to my surprise... she picks it up in her mouth, hops on the bed and drops it on my book I...
I am not sure if this can be posted here (feel free to move the thread), but after bringing my kitten to the vet she said that I had the sweetest bombay kitten... I got her at a shelter so she could be anything, to me she just looks like a black domestic shorthair. But it peaked my interest...
My kitten Nymeria is very affectionate and loves to snuggle, however I have been noticing that after she gets settled she likes to start kneeding her paws in the crook of my elbow and then start suckling as if she is trying to suckle from her mama. I don't mind the behavior its kind of cute...
I asked my mom to pick up some litter on her way down and she picked up Cat Attract Litter because they were out of our usual. I don't know what's in this but both of my kittens are literally playing in both litter boxes... I am happy they are getting in the boxes, however I didn't intend them...
Well I hope these pictures come out, here are pictures of my older cat (15 years) Miles, and the two new additions to the family Min (14-week female black kitten) and Nymeria (12-week old female grey tiger kitten).
And all of them together
I am so glad everyone gets along... I...
Hi all! I have been reading this site for a bit and I have to admit it's very informative and it seems the people and the kitties are great! I have owned cats all my life, we had the equivalent of barn cats growing up (along with Greyhounds and rabbits). My husband and I have had two...
