My silly girl (11 months) has started scratching at our ottoman--really she's playing, doing somersaults around the legs and then just putting her claws in the corners--it's not like when she scratches at her post--all stretched out. It got a bit worse when we were away for 2 weeks--the sitter...

Thanks everyone! Just called the vet and they suggest Frontline, they have Revolution, too, but the girl said it wasn't good for ticks and that is my main concern due to the fact I found a tick walking around in my batroom sink after doing yard work the other day...

Since the weather has started getting nicer, we've taken Sasha out in a harness a few times and let her explore the back yard near the house. She's out for about 15 minutes at a time, but now I'm worried about fleas and ticks! We have lots of trees and lots of ticks. Since Sasha is my first...

Yosemite! what gorgeous kitties you have!! We are thinking of getting another kitten in the fall (we are going away for 2 weeks this summer) and are leaning toward a blue point if available

maybe it's just "show" cats? I have a traditional "applehead" who is the sweetest, most social thing ever! When the doorbell rings, she comes running to see who is visiting. She allows herself (demands, actually) to be cuddled to death by all members of the family. She follows me from room...

I am very nervous about leaving my kitten for the weekend in March. She will be almost 6 months and she is very much a people cat. she follows me from room to room, and spends as much time as she can in any available lap. Part of the reason I never had pets was the worrying about them when...

A big thank you to everyone's thoughtful responses! I am digesting all the info presented (pun intended!). I will be reading even more labels in the near future, I see... I'll try switching to a grain free dry as we finish up the current Kitten 36 and see what happens. It can be any more...

My head is literally spinning trying to choose food. I've read every label and I'm going a bit loopy. I want to do the best for my fur baby. I am currently feeding 4 mo old Sasha Royal Canin Kitten 36 dry, which I thought was supposed to be high quality, but it has lots of corn in it. I've...

Lately, Sasha's favorite toy is plastic tear-strip we pulled off a package from Amazon. she bats that thing around the house like crazy. Last night she discovered a tennis ball (not *quite* sure what it is doing in the house...) funny. Also a small inflatable beach ball, slightly larger than...

I'll have to look into SSSST (or however it's spelled) Cans with pennies, she just ignores. And I don't want to squirt water... We're really working at keeping her off the table as well. She knows it is wrong. I'll catch her on a chair, poking her little head up over the table top--I'll say...

I was cooking last night on the back 2 burners of my gas cooktop, when I noticed Sasha (4 mo) looking mighty interested for the first time. (She must be part Italian Siamese as I was making sauce and boiling pasta!). I called to my daughter to come distract the cat, but before I knew it, she...

This AM, Sasha got up on my desk as I was checking my email. She was just sitting there and I gave her a few scritches and then made kissy noises and stuck my nose near hers. (sometime she will lick the tip of my nose with kitty kisses). Today, she just gave me a few sniffs, and then, ever so...

I've only had Sasha for a little over a month and I'm amazed at where and how she sleeps!! I'm always taking pictures and I thought I'd share with people who might appreciate them!! She's the ultimate snuggly lap cat! She loves her people! first day home Helping me clear off my desk...

here is what my Sasha figured out yesterday when I took a break from taking the tree down: I had to get out the step ladder to get her down. I'm such a bad disciplinarian that my first thought is to get the camera before I scold her...

I like Charlotte or Patience. Though I love the name Katherine/Kate, I know too many 9 year old girls named that! Here are some more names from that era from my family tree--Mostly English descent settlers in MA: Jerusha Mercy Martha Temperance Betsey Lydia Dorcas Thankful Deborah Jane so...

Sasha (choc. pt. Siamese) will be 16 weeks tomorrow. I free feed Royal Canin Babycat because that is what she was getting at the breeder. She has fresh water available that she drinks quite a bit of, I change it frequently during the day (she tends to get food in it) After her first week...

thanks for the replies, I was just nervous about her "cooking" her little kitty insides. That' a funny story about the studs! Kind of like humans where they say that men who wear boxer have a higher sperm count.. and mews2much--she's not on the hot water heater--just the base board heat...

My almost 4 month old Siamese kitten loves to sit on our forced hot-air heating vents and I am wondering if this is safe for her? She now will run to the register when she hears the heat kick on! It's not *that* cold in here. We also have baseboard hot water heat in our sunroom and have...

We're pretty happy with it, and Sasha seems to like it, though she much prefers to be sitting on a nice warm lap! She does get some nice mid-day --perfect for snoozing. I don't think we'll be making and selling them any time soon. I'm not sure that I'm ready for another fur baby--she's...
