    Catgenie???

    I just Googled this and then searched it in the forum after a friend told me about it this evening. It sounds like they have lots of fine-tuning to do, but yowza! What a long way we've come from the days of the LitterMaid and that horrible "rake" that clogged every other day! I can't wait to...

    Maid Service?

    Katie is the opposite. If I make the bed she will paw at the corners until she gets one up and can either crawl under the covers or wad them up for more cushion!

    How can I help him to say good bye?

    Marrs, in a lot of ways, now seems to be mirroring our emotions...we have an increasing number of moments where the loss isn't the forerunning thought in our heads and some where it hits us that's she's truly gone. It seems like he's a bit more distracted today by Jewel as she's feeling better...

    Come here girls! *vent*

    People slay me! Maybe try telling her that he won't mind being referred to as a girl as long as he has a home?? Geeeeesh. It took a long time for my mom to accept a male cat into her household, but that was because she had intact cats up North that sprayed and thought they would ALL do that...

    Cat that comes in...

    I had a neighbor that swore by putting a pat of butter on their food to win their affections. Couldn't hurt to try!

    Best dry food?

    Marrs would kill to switch places with your kitty! If he could exclusively eat wet food, he'd be there in a flash! I'm trying my dogs on 'Wellness' and so far, so good. I purchased mine at Pet Supermarket and joined their VIP email club which sends you coupons for $5 off of $20 purchase. That...

    Bad publicity for my vet

    Jewel is currently on Clavamox for her cold and it says it's Amoxicilian right on the box. If you like the vet and feel comfortable with them, I'd check into the complaints. If your spider sense is tingling, though, I wouldn't risk it. I switched vets once because I asked the old vet why they...

    What would you suggest? :)

    I use the safety collars on Katie, Marrs and Jewel. But I had the same issue with Tiger...he'd have the safety collars off in a matter of minutes! He actually managed to loose one and frankly I'd like to know how/where as he's only an inside kitty! I expected to find it when moved and pulled out...

    Where to buy...

    I stumbled across this sometime ago when I was thinking about buying one (I've since decided to put it off until we move and I have a garage to work on it in...that could get interesting in the apartment!): http://www.cattreeplans.com/ How adorable is the one that looks like a tree! ("Plan 3")...

    I am so saddened

    I can sympathize completely!! My first job was in a dog grooming salon. The condition that some of those people would bring their pets in in! It was just sad. I'll always remember this one poodle in particular; the guy brought her in so badly matted that we had no choice but to completely shave...

    Indoor or out?

    I vote indoors, too. I've never had a good experience with having cats outdoors. My very first cat as a little girl was an indoor cat...my mom had always lived on farms in Wisconsin and never had an indoor cat before/didn't know what a pain they would be in heat. (Neither of us have ever made...

    Our cat enclosure is done!

    What an awesome enclosure! My group would like to come visit for a long weekend! They've been taking turns sunbathing on the back of the loveseat just for a little sunshine. I know they're all going to do flips when we're all moved and they have a screen porch to enjoy again!

    Multi cat household - how do you manage?

    Like people, they all have different personalities. Katie, my oldest, is high-demand when it comes to attention. More often than not, I'm typing with her sprawled in my lap. If we're on the couch watching a movie, she's in my lap being pet and/or brushed. The rest of the time, she's pretty...

    Where is your litterbox?

    Presently, they're in the "guest" bathroom at my apartment, since we never have guests there anyway. When we move, I'm going to have two in what will be our office/"task room" and perhaps another on the screen porch...to give them an option so that my potted plants look a little less tempting!

    how many have 2 cats with 1 litterbox?

    I've had up to five cats using 2 litter boxes. We're currently at 4 cats to three boxes, but that may change back down to two once I have them all switched over to the CleverCat box (very closely resembles the cut-down storage container pictured above, but which has a sturdy platform that helps...

    How can I help him to say good bye?

    I'll have to try the rescue remedy stuff. Do we know who carries it and in which section it's kept? Unfortunately, Treasure wasn't a big blanket-baby...she preferred sleeping on top of the nice warm cable box. (Someone at Bright House is going to looove us when we return the unit, I'm sure.) She...

    How can I help him to say good bye?

    I've thought about trying to find another kitten that looks like the one we just lost, but I think that would be harder on the bf and with both of us working more than 40 hours per week...5 was hard to keep up with. (At first we both felt guilty that if we hadn't been at work so much, we might...

    De-Sexed Male Cat "Performing" on me!!

    Oh my! I'd never heard of this! *laugh* Better to find out that there's a possibility of this now rather than later, should they actually start showing us their love a bit more agressively than just purring! Marrs (7) and Tiger (3) are the first male cats I've lived with. They were both neutered...

    How can I help him to say good bye?

    I presently share my home and life with four wonderful felines, that being just recently down from five. In November, my boyfriend and I took in a kitten that ended up having FIP and passed away due to complications this past Tuesday. My 7 year old, Marrs, was particularly close to the kitten...
