We adopted our girl almost 3.5 years ago from a no-kill shelter. Within the last 8, 9 months or so, she has started kneading on the blankets amnd, occasionally on me or my husband. We call it paw dancing. What gives with this? We have heard that kneading is a feel-good thing, back to their...

Our girl loves to spend a lot of time in her own personal, private playground, a/k/a our cellar. We think there must have been a coal bin down there at one point. Between the floor being half dirt, the coal dust and soot from the furnace, she comes upstairs filthy! We've discussed putting in...

Our girl has a large plastic litter pan which she uses faithfully. Okay, we'll gloss over the one episode of diarrhea that left a deposit on the floor while we were out but we honestly believe the poor thing was enroute to the pan and ran out of time. She doesn't cover all that well, but...

Does an alpha roll work on cats? There's this cat that's a real bully and I'm tempted to try this on him. It works on dogs, but what about cats?

Does anyone have any recipes for cat treats? A couple of the cats we visit at the local humane society are now associating me with treats. Lucky me! (And one, who ever seems to approach anyone, climbs all over me and recognizes my voice.) Thanks. Prinny

My husband and I help socialize cats at our local humane society shelter. One of the cats likes to walk all over my shoulder and chest. And she has this "thing" about sticking her butt in my face. What is this all about? Prinny.
