    TOTW and excessive shedding

    Anyone else notice an increase in shedding after starting on TOTW??? Kiwi was being fed Before Grain chicken, and barely shed. In fact she is a white cat and I have navy blue furniture and you couldn't even tell that there was a cat in the house. I changed to TOTW for a bit, because Kiwi was...

    Kiwi is having seizures

    She was spayed on Monday, I picked her up Tuesday morning. She was alert and really mad about being in her carrier. As soon as I got her home, I let her out, she peed in her litterbox right away and then walked around the house moaning and swaying. I layed her down on her favorite blanket and...

    Well, my baby girl is 4 months old already, and its that time. She goes in tomorrow morning at 9:00 to be spayed.

    HELP! My Sister is visiting with her new dog...

    ...And I am worried sick about how my kitten Kiwi is going to react. (Seriously I was up all night thinking about this) I don't want to tell her to leave the dog at home, because I know it will hurt her feelings. What do I do? How do I make sure the weekend goes smoothly? I don't think its...

    Do you do this?

    According to a cat care manual that I have, you need to set aside a can opener, fork, spoon and knife specially for serving your cat's food. All equipment must be washed after each use and be stored in a seperate plastic box. (what???) Would this be for your's or your cat's benefit?? Do you...

    This is Kiwi!

    Here are a few pictures of my Kiwi. She is REALLY hard to get a good picture of, mainly because whenever she sees the camera she attacks it. Kiwi is 14 weeks old now. (OK, so my pictures are teeny-tiny I'll get the hang of this yet....)

    Is this normal?? Please tell me this is normal...

    Ok, so I have switched Kiwi from Iams for Kittens (wet) to Eagle Pack, and she seemed to be doing just fine with it, and LOVED it (well the Duck and Chicken one anyway) This morning I gave her Salmon and Shrimp to try and she wasn't too keen on it, but picked at it for most of the day. A few...

    I just wanted to thank you all...

    For being so helpful, and kind, and encouraging! I don't know what I would be doing now, if I hadn't found this site. Since I have never had a cat, much less a kitten before I had no idea what I was doing. Ok, most days I still have no idea what I am doing, but Kiwi and I are learning together...

    Ahh! Changed litterboxes, now she's mad!

    Help!! My Kiwi is just growing so fast, and seems to have gotten too big for her standard, plain-jane litter pan, because she kept stepping in her poo while trying to bury it. So I bought her a nice Sterilite tote (61 Litres...I have no idea what that is in gallons) anyway, its about 2X the size...

    Switching Cat Food

    Kiwi (11 weeks) is currently eating Iams for Kittens dry food whenever she wants it (free feeding??) and 1/2 a can of Iams for Kittens wet food every evening. I only started her on this food because it was the only 'name brand' food available in the tiny town I live in. I happened to be in the...

    The Mysteries of Cat Food

    Hello Everyone! I am sorry if this is a repeat post, but I read through many pages of previous posts and couldn't find anything that addressed this specifically... What makes a quality cat food?? What ingredients should I look for? How do I know if one is better than another? Right now Kiwi...

    First-time Kitty Owner...Questions!

    Hi All. This is part of a post I placed in the Behavior section, but I think that this part belongs more appropriately over here.... Is it normal for cats/kittens to have cat boogers?? Kiwi constantly has what looks like dark colored lint stuck in her nose that I have been gently wiping away...

    First-time Kitty Owner...Questions!

    Hello everyone. I have just adopted a new female kitten 3 weeks ago. She was 6 weeks old when I got her, and is almost 9 weeks old now. I have never had any kind of pet before, so I have absolutely no experience with cats at all. I have named her Kiwi. Kiwi is very outgoing, not shy at all, and...
