Ah, I see. Thanks! Well, she has not gone outside the box again yet since that time, and since I turned the box off again (cycling it about once a day or so). So I know she'll go in there. I think it's just the sound that bothers her (or maybe it bothers her more when it happens and I'm not...

I just got my cat a new litter box, the Litter Robot II. It arrived a week ago, and I set it up immediately. I think Cleopatra was nervous about it at first, but I left it off and cycled it manually for the first couple of days. I saw that she was using it, so I turned it to Automatic about 3...

Ooh! I forgot I had the bitter apple stuff! (I'd gotten it to keep her from biting things, so when she stopped doing that(mostly) I forgot. If that doesn't work, I'll try to find the "Get Off"... I'll try it, and the rug as well, if I can find a small enough one (except for the staircase step...

Well, just the upstairs carpet right in the corners in front of the bathroom door, my bedroom door, and the second to top step of the staircase. She's just over a year old now, and overall, she's a sweet, good cat. But lately, she's taken to scratching again where she isn't supposed to - on the...

::grin:: I'm a little lucky in that my parents are helping me out with finances a little bit. But I'm trying not to impose on them too much with the cat, since they had no part in my decision to get a kitten. Good thing I called ahead, but the feed store I was looking at did not carry Chicken...

:: I've been using Nutro Natural Choice mostly for her wet food, with a couple of other brands rotated in to see if she likes them - she seems to prefer non-fishy foods (which is fine by me - I can't really stand the smell of fish). I'm pretty sure I checked the ingredients of all the wet foods...

I remember when I got Cleopatra in July, I actually asked the shelter about when it would be best to declaw a cat. (I was thinking of doing it eventually, not then). I am very glad they talked me out of it. They told me exactly what it does, and about the behavioral problems it could create. I...

Well, I ended up getting Wellness Kitten Health. I looked at some of the other dry brands and ALL of them had corn gluten and ground corn in the top 3-4 ingredients. I don't think I can afford to keep her on Wellness too long, though (I gave her one pellet when I got home, to see if she liked...

Austin, at the moment ^_^ I think she's probably eating about a cup or less, per day - I have one of those Bistro free-feeders and I just fill it up about halfway, and she eats when she wants - I have to shake it a little to get the kibbles to come out - she'll eat as soon as the bottom of the...

Oh, really? darnit. I wonder if they'll let me return an unopened bag of food - For some reason, I thought I remembered it being recommended as being a very good brand around here, which is why I switched her to it. I must have gotten mixed up. I just bought a 15 pound bag of the stuff because...

Hi all! I've been absent for awhile (afraid I got pretty busy with school work), but I'm back with a new question: First, I might mention that the last time I was here, Cleopatra had just been prescribed Lysine to clear up the residue from her URI, and I was in the process of getting a cat tree...

Haha, I just talked to my mom, and she said that she wouldn't have her go outside(might help that Patra's MUCH better at sticking to her litter training than our old cat, Cleo, was), so I might have gotten the harness and leash for no reason at all. Still, I plan to keep them, and let her get...

eh, last time for her wellness exam, I forgot to bring her medical records. I ended up scanning them in instead and emailing it to them. The vet said that she's doing pretty well, and that the sneezing and wheezing is probably just a residual from the URI. He gave me some Lysine (Lysene?) to...

Thank you all! mews, I hadn't thought about her having asthma until a day or so ago, when I'd read another thread in this forum where the cat had had similar breathing issues. I'm kind of hoping that she doesn't have asthma, as 1) she's only 4 and a half months old, and 2) it will definitely...

Well, I spoke to the vet yesterday, and she has a follow-up appointment tomorrow morning. Good thing, too, as the past few days, I've noticed her having trouble breathing. Like a dry, wheezing, gasping sort of breathing. When I hear it, I usually rush over to her (for some reason, this never...

Cleopatra has been wheezing like that the past couple of days - I'm taking her to the vet tomorrow morning. I hope everything goes well for your kitty!

the eBay store actually has a bunch of listings for the same items, so I wasn't really worried about them selling out. I went ahead and got the first, beige one. It looks like 'Patra would have more fun on it, and it shouldn't be too hard to weigh down if I need to. Law school textbooks are...

Well, Cleopatra's only about 4 and a half months old. She's about 4 pounds at the moment, and I'vve been told that she'll probably grow up to be about 8 or 9 pounds. She does like looking out the windows on the second floor of my small condo, though, and I do have to keep taking her off of the...

Hi all! I'm thinking of getting a cat tree, and think I've found a couple that I can afford from an eBay company that seems to have a lot of good reviews from its customers - especially for the first cat tree I was looking at. At the moment, I'm decided between this and this. The first one...

Thanks for the input! I'm still a bit undecided, but I'm leaning towards putting off the harness training for now. ...Although she does jump for the doorknob occasionally. She can't quite reach it yet, and I keep it locked, but... I am considering getting a cat tree, though - especially since...
