Our 5 year old male cat was diagnosed with FLUTD yesterday, and we were given a prescription for Royal Canin Urinary SO food. Thoughts? It's giving me pause to feed a food with the first few ingredients being chicken meal, rice, and corn. We've always fed grain free (either Taste of the Wild or...

I haven't posted here since our furbabies were tiny (they're 2 now!), but I'd love some advice from "cat people" Lots of non-cat-people are giving us terrible advice and I want to make sure we're doing the right thing for our baby AND our furbabies. I'm pregnant with our first baby in June...

We have two short haired domestics. One is a little fluffier than the other, but they both have pretty average thin short-haired coats. I've read conflicting things about furminators. Some seem to say it's God's gift to grooming, some seem to say it takes too much and damages their coat. What...

I'm a little frustrated with both the animal medical center and the humane society in our area right now. We got our two kittens Reilly and Lilah fixed (one nueter, one spay) on Wednesday. The Humane society paid for it (it was part of our adoption fee when we got them 4 months ago, but they...

We've had a good run. I absolutely love feline pine. It has been the perfect solution for all of my litter fears. I use the FP box, so the sawdust falls through the grate and if I keep a deep enough layer of pellets the kitties cover their poop just fine. I don't waste much litter, it's pretty...

I've posted some here and there, and you guys have been a wealth of information! I just got a sig pic together, so I thought I was officially introduce us. I'm Carla, a first time cat mama, with two 5 month old kitties that I've had since November. I can't believe how quickly they've grown...

So I have a feeling I'm going to get a little bit flamed for this...actually I feel a little like flaming myself. Sorry for the long post! We have two 5 month old kittens,Reilly and Lila, a male and a female that we got at the same time. The Humane Society we got them from does not like to do...

From Lilah And Reilly! I can't believe I got them to sit on the fireplace and take pictures last night!

My Lilah has some sort of a cyst under her skin around one of her shoulder blades, is it anything to worry about? It's a little smaller than a dime, and it seems to be attached to her skin (when I left her skin I can feel it between my fingers). It doesn't seem to hurt her when I mess with it...

I had my first little issue with Reilly this weekend. He and Lilah have been model citizens so far, and it was just one bad morning, so I'm hoping we can avoid it happening again. He often walks up and watches me clean the litterbox, and once or twice he has sat in it while I was emptying it. I...

I'm feeding wet food only 1-2x a week, and I've looked through a million threads on this site and it seems wet food isn't as cut and dry (no pun intended!) as dry food recs. I'm feeding them Taste of the Wild dry 2x a day most days, supplementing for a wet meal twice a week. I see so many...

Over the course of about 2 weeks we switched Reilly and Lilah from the Science Diet the rescue had them on to Taste of the Wild. All during the mixing, things were fine, no issues, but now that we've been on straight TOTW for a little less than a week, their poop has started to smell big time...

A while ago, my husband was in the bathroom and the kitties came to visit (they always want to be where we are!) so he set Reilly in the bathtub and turned on the water where there was just a light stream to see what he would do. He tentatively poked at it with his paw, then started drinking it...

We just finished our gradual switchover to feline pine, and for the most part I am loving it! (Smells so much better, no clay dust, no tracking clay everywhere) Now that we've finished the mixing reg litter and feline pine transition, I'm using this feline pine litterbox that has the tray with...

So we've had the cats about a week. I'm scooping 2x a day (regular AH clumping litter...wanted to start them out on the same thing the rescue had them on (hoping to try out feline pine starting gradually next week, even bought the feline pine litter box) My question is, how do you handle what...

We just adopted two rescue kittens on Monday. They're so funny, when I go in to clean their litter box they trot up behind me and sit in it until I go away. If I can get them distracted (with breakfast or dinner, depending on the time!) I clean it out really quickly, and when they realize what...

I'm a new kitty mama, just got our two rescue babies on Monday. They're 12 weeks old, and the rescue said at 3 lbs they are healthy and not lanky and thin like some kittens need to be. Their foster mama was feeding them the recommended amount of Science Diet in two feedings throughout the day...

We're getting our two rescue cats this week, and while my husband has a lot of experience with cats, I'm a first time cat mama and have a million questions! The cats are both about 6 months old, maybe 2-3 lbs, brother and sister short haired domestics. I'll ask the foster mama what they've...
