Is there a cat food out there that is more "efficient" than the Nutra Max Adult cat food that I currently use? I would like a cat food that is healthy for my 1 year old cat, yet yields the least amount of poo. I really don't want a "wet" can food -- he's never liked it but does love dry food...

I bought a bag of Yesterday News cat litter (http://www.yesterdaysnews.com/) for our cat. Yesterday News is similar to Feline Pine in that it's a pellet but instead of compressed pine it's compressed recycled newpaper made into pellets. I got tired of all the dust from clay litter products...

What is a healthy and non-fattening treat that can be typically found in someone's pantry or refrigerator? I'd like to give our cat a snack/treat in between meals but I want it to be something that is non-fattening for him. and something already found in the house (tuna?). Thank you.

Our 12 month-old kitten will be a 1 year-old next week. He's been eating dry Nutra Pro Max for Kittens (or something like that). We got him when we was just 7 months old. He was skinning as a rail when we picked him up from the Humane Society but now he's turned into kind of a fat cat. We're...

I'm sitting here watching my cat lick various parts of his body: a leg, a paw, his tail, his stomach. He does this from time to time but I don't know why. Why do cats constantly lick their fur/hair?

I'm looking for something that will entertain our 9 month-old male -- something he can play with by himself. I remember seeing this battery operated ball toy that shoots a ball around in circles. Also, why doesn't catnip do anything for our kitty? He could care less about it.

Make that do-do. We own a rambler style home (finished up stairs and finished downstairs). We've had our cat for about 2 months. He's a 9 month old male that we picked up from a shelter. To accommodate our new cat we've had two litter boxes, one for up stairs and another for down stairs. He...

My 9 month old cat has been eating a lot of bad stuff lately. I've found twine (string), plastic Easter basket grass, and other various, but not identifiable materials in his stools -- who knows what else he's eaten. Today he ate part of my 6 year-old son's home-made foam Christmas ornament...

First of all, here's a cartoon for you then my questions are below: (Cartoon removed - copyright issue.) - What is a good, quality wet food? - Usually, how much is it per can (the typical-sized can)? - From the typical-sized can, how much do you feed per day (the whole can?) and how many...

As some of you know, we picked up Hobbes about 6 weeks ago. He's been a wonderful cat who is well behaved -- we're all crazy about him. Right now he's a 9 month old male and weighs about 7-8 pounds. When we got him from the shelter he was a very skinny cat. We've been feeding him dry Nutro...

We have a fairly large potted plant in our living room and for some reason Hobbes has decided to use it as a litter box every once in awhile. He just jumps right in there, tinkles (no poo), and leaves. We have two nice sized litter boxes that are not that far from the plant and one of them is...

We've had our 8 month old male for about three weeks now and we've been feeding him Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care dry cat food. He really seems to like it. Is it the best food for him?

Our kitty has had loose bowels since we picked him from the shelter three weeks ago. I took a stool sample to the vet and they called to tell me he has Giardia. I've heard of it in humans but not in Cats. We are picking up some medicine today from the vet. Has anyone had a cat with Giardia...

Just how clean are cats -- really?

As a lot of you know we picked up our kitty a week ago at a local shelter. He's an 8 month old male that is an indoor only cat. I have questions and would appreciate your thoughts and input: Is it normal for my cat to lick is back-sides clean after pooing (yeck!)? If is, do cats do that...

Our cat, an 8 month old male, is our first kitty and is an indoor cat. I have some questions about taking care of him. I appreciate your feedback. How often and how much do you feed an 8 month-old cat each day? I'm not sure how much kitty food to put in his food dish. We feed him a good...

Just curious.

We are (family and me) new to the cat business -- our first cat. Just some questions about litter boxes, litter, etc: - Is a covered litter box better than a "pan" style box? What are the advantages of a covered box? - How do you prevent kitty litter from getting all over the floor around...

As some of you know, we picked up for first kitty from a shelter last Sat. He's an 8 mo. old Tabby named Hobbes. We currently have a litter box downstairs where he does a very good job of using it -- no accidents. Our home is a rambler style home with an upstairs/main level and a...
