    Lost cat from Lafayette, Indiana, PLEASE help!

    Last Monday night, my little guy, Sox, decided to run away. I believe that he was chasing a neighborhood cat. Sox, and his sister, Beacon, are rescues from the local humane society, and are indoor cats. Sox was able to push out the screen for my bedroom window and I have not seen him since...

    Flea issue?

    Cheerios?

    Ok, my parents mentioned that regular ole Cheerios cereal is a good alternative to pet treats. Everything I seem to know about cats seems to contradict this statement. What are your thoughts on the idea?

    Job related rant

    I am going to try to keep this short and sweet for everyone's sake (actually I am surprised that I am not feeling upset about the situation). I work retail, more importantly, home improvement. A couple of weeks ago, you would have found me as an assistant manager of my store's Cabinets and...

    Need a vacation from vacation

    Looking for different textures

    Ok, Sox is a scratcher, he loves scratching at just about anything, miniblinds, my mail, phonebooks, etc.... Anyone have suggestions on other textures that he might enjoy rubbing his paws against?

    Environmental Temperature Changes

    I think I recall reading somewhere that cats have a difficult time adjusting to temperature changes (i.e. running the heater at 70F during the day and 62-4F at night). Is this true? Anyone have any experience with this? I'd prefer to sleep with the temperature a little colder at night, but I...

    Alteration earlier this week...

    So I took Beacon my 4 1/2 month female to the vet for alteration earlier this week and I have noticed on two occasions today that she has been licking the sutures, which I know is not a good idea. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Its snowing...

    ...and Beacon and Sox are going crazy watching the big fluffy flakes fall outside. Too bad they are trying to follow individual flakes and not watching the whole picture.

    Is this common??

    Ok, Sox, my tabby, has white and black paw pads on each paw and his lower lip is half white and half black. Didn't know if this was common with cats as it isn't too common with dogs.

    Puzzle Feeders

    On a recent trip home one evening I was listening to WGN Radio and their pet show. The host and the guests all highly recommended using puzzle feeders for indoor cats. Has anyone used them? Does anyone have any plans, designs, or links on how to make them?

    Sucking Thumb

    Ok, since I adopted Sox I have accepted that he sucks his thumb. He'll curl up with me in bed while I am trying to sleep and lay on my throat and just suck his thumb, or sometimes he'll prop himself up against my side and do it, I realize that this is a security thing and have brought it up...
