    Litter Robot help

    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...

    Cleopatra - the holy terror of carpets

    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...

    Question for Cleopatra - free feeding?

    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...

    Cat trees

    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...

    Harness Training?

    Cleopatra is an indoor cat, so I've not even gotten her a collar yet. Most of the time, she shows absolutely no interest in going outside. However, there have been one or two times when she's shown enough curiosity in going outdoors, and has actually gone outside, once when I was talking to...

    Another question/update from Cleopatra (long, sorry - I tend to be detailed)

    So I finished giving 'Patra her antibiotics last week, and she is MUCH better! She runs around, she eats and drinks a lot, and uses her litterbox regularly. A friend (a cat lover who recommended her current vet) suggested that after I finished giving her the antibiotics, that I should give her...

    Pet Insurance Complaints?

    I don't know if this is the right forum for this thread, but I'm not sure where to put it. This topic is inspired by this thread on pet insurance. The general consensus seems to be that it's not really worth it. I've been interning at the Texas Department of Insurance for this summer, and my...

    Kitten aggression?

    :: back again... Well, I bought some Bitter Apple Spray (well, it was a dab top - couldn't find the spray - didn't matter as I applied it with a napkin anyway), and I started applying it to the wires in the living room, because I've seen Cleopatra attacking them, and I think she may be biting...

    Kitty anger?

    Hmmm......... not sure if she's mad at me for giving her antibiotics or if she's just afraid of being restrained (I suspect it's the latter) but Cleopatra keeps shying away from me. And she's been very...pouncy the past few days - which I think is a good thing, since it means she has more...

    Petmate Litterlocker?

    Have any of you used this? What are your experiences? I'm thinking very strongly of getting one. (I love Cleopatra, but her poop smells, and this would definitely save on trips to the dumpster with kitten poop.) http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2751261

    Licking after shower?

    Well, at the moment, I think this is just cute, but as I've never heard of this kind of behavior from a cat before, I have to ask. So when I get out of the shower in the morning, Cleopatra rubs herself against my legs before they start drying (this I'm not as surprised at, except the fact that...

    clipping nails and brushing teeth

    I have two questions here: 1) I've trimmed Cleopatra's front paws without any mishaps (hope that luck keeps going), but I was wondering how many people trim their cats' back claws? And if so, how often? For some reason, it seems to me that the back claws might be harder to trim than the front...

    Sneezing and hiccuping kitty, oh my!

    Well, Cleopatra has yet another question for me to ask you. She went to the vet on Saturday, and he gave her a clean bill of health, no problem. A couple of hours later, at home, she started sneezing. She had little bouts of sneezing for a few hours. I trie calling the vet's office, but they...

    Very sweet, lovable kitten - but...

    I have a new question to ask. It’s been almost a week now since I adopted my 3 month old kitten, Cleopatra, She is very sweet, very loving, and very well-behaved. She’s pretty quiet most of the time (and when she mews, that’s pretty quiet, too). The only issue I have is that she won’t play much...

    Kitten and human food

    Hi, I'm new to the site and I'm glad to see there'a a place I can ask questions - I just got a kitten this weekend - a 3-month old, grey and black striped tabby cat named Cleopatra, and I love her. My question is this: Is it alright for a kitten to have "human food" if it's in tiny, tiny doses...
