    Maybe an amateur question

    The good news is neither of my cats had severe reactions. They did develop little hot spots at the area of application. After taking them to the vet, we determined that topical stuff wasn't a good match for my kiddos. My vet sort of pushed Comfortis on us. I've been putting off using it because...

    Maybe an amateur question

    In my experience, fleas and flea dirt are obvious fairly quickly. Now, I live in Tennessee. There are a lot of fleas, they do die in the winter, but we have had a problem this year that has just been crazy. The kids are miserable and have some despite not ever going outside. I treated the yard...

    Maybe an amateur question

    For the record, after reading horror stories and reviews of that crap, I threw out the rest of the supply and I'm not putting it on the boys ever again regardless of lack of effects.

    Maybe an amateur question

    I used Sentry Purrscriptions. I was told it was a decent product and sort of assumed that they wouldn't sell anything unsafe at a pet store...I followed directions, but of course things never go according to plan. And once I applied it, I started to panic (I do have anxiety), so I started...

    Maybe an amateur question

    I treated my kids for fleas today. First time using a topical product on them. They both seem fine, but one is a long haired cat, and the application area is oily. I took a damp cloth and wiped at it, but it's still oily. Eventually he's going to groom himself....is this a reason to freak out?

    Kitten Eating Issues- Help!

    Well...Gnash, being the stubborn little brat that he is, still won't eat canned food despite every trick in the book being thrown at him. But there IS good news! While I was feeding Peekers, I turned around for a split second and when I looked back...Peek had backed off of his food bowl. This...

    Kitten Eating Issues- Help!

    Yeah, I'm definitely not giving up on it. I've fostered several cats in the past, and am a long term cat owner, so I'm familiar with switching diet and food brands. I've had to do it a time or two. Mixing is what I've been trying, its always worked for me in the past. I've tried mixing his soft...

    Kitten Eating Issues- Help!

    I've recently taken in an eight week old kitten that was rescued by some acquaintances. They were unable to keep him because of issues with an older cat that they have had for a while, so I agreed to see how he would fit into my home. Gnash is a complete little darling, he's very quickly become...

    Nicknames for your pets?

    Peek-a-boo is Peekers, Peekiweeki, and Handsome. Ernie is Evil E. Tubbo. Fat Cat. or Fat Ernie. (He's a bit on the chunky side, obviously.) And Gnash is Mr. Bitey or Piranha. (I'm sure you need no explanation here, he's eight weeks old.)

    Best alarm clock ever

    Aww, sounds like you guys all have really adorable, fuzzy alarm clocks too! I don't think any of us really mind, do we? I mean, although sometimes I wish Gnash would let me sleep in a little bit, I couldn't really be irritated at such a cute face. I honestly couldn't think of a better way to...

    Best alarm clock ever

    The kids and I are on a schedule. I wake up around 8 every morning and feed them when I get up, get ready for work while they eat, then leave. On my days off the baby, Gnash, doesn't seem to share my desire to sleep in a little. This morning he decided to wake me up by grooming my eyebrows and...

    Once Upon a Feral

    Just sort of me sharing how proud I am today. I have a poodle that is three years old now, last fall we started caring for a few feral kittens. They were so wild that they wouldn't come within five feet of us without being scared out of their minds, but over the year we worked with them, got...

    Kittens and Winter

    Aaww. Thanks so much everyone! We've started to get to work on a shelter to keep the kitties warm and safe through the winter. They seem to like it pretty well, we're not completely done with it yet, but they've started sleeping in it already and they're always rolling around on the little...

    Kittens and Winter

    I have these beautiful, amazing, wonderful feral kittens living outside of my house. I've been working with them bit by bit and slowly they've come to trust me, of course they are still extremely wary of other humans and even of me to an extent. Winter is coming soon and I worry about leaving...

    Smiffygans' family is growing

    Aaww, thanks so much. *laughs* I'm hoping that by the time winter rolls around I'll have them tame enough to at least let into the garage, I wouldn't want them out in the snow and ice after all. That's my goal right now. And yep! I intend to get Mama spayed as soon as I possibly can, she's...

    Smiffygans' family is growing

    Well, recently, I've discovered that I have a mama cat and her babies under my shed in the backyard. I was sitting on my front porch about two weeks ago and one of the babies happened up on the porch. When it noticed me it took off, very afraid. I was extremely worried because the baby was so...

    The Spot!

    Aaww! I have that problem too! Skittles likes it when I rub her nose and inside of her ears, and after a while I"ll realize that she's drooled ALL over me. It's so cute.

    My cats have gone to the dark side

    Oooooh yeah. You just KNOW those adorable cute faces are deceiving, if we could just hear some of the remarks they probably make about us..xD I know they must mock everything we do, but in an affectionate, She's-Just-So-Cute way, like we do to them sometimes. xDDD
