Our barn cat had kittens 4 weeks ago (they will be 4 weeks old on Sunday).  There are 5 of them, and they are SO cute!  They are growing perfectly and developing on schedule.  Well, all but one of them.  The one I'm talking about is the "runt".  She has always been smaller, and averages about...

The past couple days I have noticed that Walter wasn't his normal self. I kept telling my husband that he looked depressed. Does that make sense? He is usually such a cheerful free spirit, but lately his eyes have been so sad, and he's been moving slower. Tonight as we were getting dinner...

Yesterday I finished a box of ramen noodles and in a hurry I threw the box on the floor and forgot about it. Walter found it and managed to squeeze his chubby self into it. LOL It is a box that holds two side by side rows of ramen noodle packets. Hello! Cute little neck roll Getting...

I'm worried about him and I'm not sure what to think. Since yesterday afternoon he has been really lethargic. He spends all of his time curled up in one of the cat carriers we have on the porch for the cats, or on a folded up towel that we have in a chair. He usually has a lot of energy (one...

Nora is a complete daddy's girl. He is "her" human. She sleeps cuddled up next to him under the sheets every night, and she loves to cuddle in the chair with him in the evening. She likes me, but she LOVES him. Sorry my husband looks a bit ragged, he hasn't really slept in about 40 hours...

Ninja and Callie are Hazel's younger siblings (according to our neighbors who "own" their mother). It has been hard for me to get good pictures of them b/c normally they are only here at night. Today they were here until almost noon, though, and they were playing with the kittens in our big...

Has anyone had a cat that has/had frequent muscle twitches? Nora often has these spells where the muscles on her back twitch or spasm over and over. She doesn't understand what they are, so she freaks out and jumps around like someone is poking or pinching her, then she will take off across...

I have a cat that showed up at our house about a month ago, and we named her Hazel. We've been feeding her and taking care of her. A week after she came, she brought her kittens. They are all adorable. I think they are now around 6 weeks old. They are plump and healthy. She has a routine...

Does anyone know what the recommended amount of time is to feed puppy food, and/or what age I should switch to adult food? My dogs are Australian Shepherd mixes (not sure what the mix is, but we are thinking Rott or Pitt based on their fur, haunches and jaws. They will be 6 months old...

I haven't been here in a long time. Things have changed a ton for us. We moved 425 miles out to the country in a different state. The cats adjusted really well and very fast, and the boys are actually doing MUCH better here than they were in our last house. Thomas even went from barely...

Recently we moved out to the country...as in the middle of nowhere. We have 3 neighbors in a square mile. We live in 5 acres. People out here treat owning animals completely different than what I'm used to. Our next door neighbors have a cat that stays outside 24/7 and is SO small and...

I haven't been here in a long time, but I have a question that I need answered. We recently moved out to the country. We literally live in the middle of no where. We only have 3 neighbors, within a mile or so. A couple days ago this tiny cat appeared on our front porch. At first I thought...

Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with Nora? For a while now (a month or so? not sure exactly) she has been doing this thing where it's like she is trying to cough up a hairball but nothing ever comes up. She'll cough for about 2 min, then she acts really tired for a few minutes...

Please give me advice for moving a semi-long distance. We are closing on this house tomorrow at 4pm, and will be staying at my parents' lake house for the night. I have that covered with the cats, I just don't know about the drive. From here to there is around 8 hours, but we can't go to the...

I have so many pictures of Thomas laying strange in his bed. He loves to lay like this, half hanging out of it. I thought maybe he'd prefer a different style of bed, so I found one at Petco that has rounded sides like the ones we already have, but has a flat bottom/front so he could stretch...

We didn't have this problem until Sebastian got here. Due to many, many reasons (peeing only being a small part of it) we and the rescue decided he wasn't a good fit for our family so he went back to his foster mother. The two places that Sebastian peed (that we know of) were the heated bean...

I'm trying to think of places to put the litter boxes in our new house. Right now we have a fairly large-ish laundry room, and we have boxes in there and in our powder room. I'm thinking in our new house I'll keep one in our master bathroom but I was wondering if it is possible or even safe to...

Does anyone know of a company that makes temporary inexpensive collars that can be personalized? I'd like something that we can put a simple message and a phone number on for when we move. I want something inexpensive and temporary so that we can put my mil's phone number or something on it...

Is it normal or even okay for a cat to drink A LOT of water? Thomas is kind of excessive in his water drinking. He was kind of before b/c it felt like I was turning the faucet on every two seconds, but now that he has free access to the cat fountain, he goes up for a drink literally every 5...

Walter killed our Da Bird today. He completely pulled the metal thing out of the end of it. LOL I guess we'll have to get a new one. That one was getting nasty anyway, part of one of the pink feathers was broken off, and the soft blue feathers were all gross looking. lol I let him keep his...
