what do you to prevent tracking? I had moved the litter box into our tiny bathroom.. litter gets tracked EVERYWHERE. The bathroom is also next to our bedroom and my BF complains about the smell. Im honestly out of ideas of a better place to put the litter.. we only have one closet and...

I recently aquired a few anoles.. my BIL moved up here from TX and these lil guys hitch hiked a ride in his pick up. They are basically wild-caught. I think they are still a lil stressed about the "move" (they were frozen when I found them!).. and about their new environment. Chloe keeps...

we've been remodelling this house for 3-4 years... after living here that long, I finally got a kitchen table in here... the cats have already claimed it as theirs.. havent even had a chance to eat off it, and they already got their butts up there. I found Tabbi and Chloe up on the table...

I know of heard of cats being trained to use the toilet instead of the litter box. I had a thought, that since we are moving the litterbox next to the toilet anyways.. maybe it wouldnt be a bad idea to just train them to use the toilet. I probably wont do it until they've gotton used to the...

We have been rearranging stuff around the house, and I have plans to move the litterbox to the bathroom. Its always been in the "extra" room.. but we need to clear that room out because my bf's brother is moving in for a while. Problem is the bathroom is kinda small.. so tracking litter is...

I know at one time this was considered an issue only for dogs.. but now you are hearing of cats getting heartworm as well. What is the REAL risk of cats getting heartworm? Is the risk enough to justify putting them on a heartworm preventative? Does that partially depend on the area you live...

Gozer was outside yesterday.. Im not sure if she snuck out or someone let her out. I did not know she was out, or I would have made her come in. I got the baby settled down for bed, took Fred out for a pee, and saw Gozer under my car. She meowed funny.. then she kind of drug/crawled from...

Im afraid I dont know as much about cat nutrition as I do dogs. My BF ussually buys the cat food.. and he typically gets it at walmart (we work there, its easy to just pick up stuff after work). This time he got Friskies indoor delights.. and its given the cats gas.. ick. Bastet crawled in...

I went to TSC to get dog food today, and took a look at their vaccines. They have a 3-in-one for cats/kittens.. its not an injectable tho. It comes with a dropper, and is dripped in the eyes, or can be done nasally. Its for rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, feline distemper (panleukopenia). Is...

There is a s/n program in the area, they will do pediatric spays as long as the kitten weighs at least 2 pds. The vet prefers to wait until closer to 6 months. No risk of pregnancy here. Its an indoor kitty, and everyone else is altered. I do agree with rescues doing pediatric s/n to assure...

I know there are issues with over-vaccinations. If your cats are kept 100% indoors, do you vaccinate? My dog gets minimal vaccines because he has had issues with vaccine reactions. Rabies is required by law, and he also gets parvo/distemper because those are common in the area. Of course a...

While on his lunch break, my BF found a tiny kitten in walmart's parking lot. He called me and asked if I could come get the kitty. Ive got her confined to the bathroom.. with litter, food and water. She has easy access to her litter and food that way.. and she's safe there. (I have a foster...

A few months back I had noticed that our old couch was starting to smell of cat urine. We couldnt figure out which cat- we had never caught anyone peeing anywhere. They all like to hang out in the livingroom. We have not noticed urine anywhere else. I ended up getting rid of the old couch...

We went thru this last year.. all the cats were snotty and sneezing. The vet gave us L-Lysine powder to put in their food and that helped. It hit Tabbi the hardest out of all the cats, and took her longer to recover. I took her in for vaccines a week or two ago.. I think the stress of the vet...

I took Fred and Tabbi to the vet for their check up and shots. Fred was just due for a Parvo/Distemper.. I feel the dog does need vaccinated since he does go outside often, and also travels often. The cats are all indoors. I had asked about forgoing the leukemia and other vaccines.. his...

I have heard a lot about issues with over-vaccinating pets (I hear it more thru the Chinese Crested forums, as our breed is prone to vaccine reactions) All 4 cats are indoors, I have no plans of adding more cats. All of them are at least 3-4 years old, so they've all had vaccines a few times...

Bo wasnt himself yesterday. James took him to the vet this morning. He called me from the vet's office. They said he has some type of blockage, it would be costly to treat - and even then they said he may have some liver and kidney damage and wouldnt be good for him long term. We made the...

We live in a rural area, and there is just ONE small feed store that sells the good brands, but its open during weird hours, and with our work hours, its not feasable to get there to buy food. We both work at walmart.. my BF is the main person who buys the cat food, he just picks it up when he...

Someone had contacted me about a Persian cat needing a home. He's neutered, declawed, UTD on shots, etc.. they said he's a gorgeous pure white. My BF has always wanted a persian, so I told him about it, and he wants the kitty. Can you tell me about the breed?

We have been slowly remodelling this house for about 2 years.. when we put in the woodwork, we used pine, as it was cheap and easy to use. When we moved the cats in tho, they quickly ruined most of it. We didnt even think that they'd bother with it.. they didnt mess with my parents wood. The...
