    They get dry food in the morning and they split a can of wet around 5:00 pm and then they get treats around 7:00 pm. She throws up around 7:30 am and eats immediately after. I have dogs too. They vomit bile if they have an empty stomach and it is yellow. Is this what the kitty is doing? Hers...

    litter box advice

    I wish I had a basement. I live in a small condo but the cats do have their own room, and I leave a litter box there and one on the screened in porch. My litter box is a big deep box and the litter is "Scoop Away", I get a huge 40lb container for $12.00 at Costco and it clumps really well. I...

    Do they ever slow down?

    I was hoping to read "oh yeah, after 2 they become sweet furry fluffy little perfect kitties!!!" Not a chance. My Mainecoon, that just passed was an outdoor cat, but spent 99% if her time asleep on my back porch. I actually thought this was normal cat behavior. She was huge though so I guess...

    Do they ever slow down?

    I have a 2 yr old Manx and a 1 yr old Torty. They play and run 24 hours a day. Especially at night. They a re like vampires. I am lucky as they love each other, but they are not declawed and all the running and jumping is taking a toll. I am using the soft claws, but they chew them off...

    litter box advice

    I am new to indoor cats. I clean the litter boxes every day, but can anyone advise on how to prevent all the litter debris that seems to be kicked or carried out of the box? Is there a specific kind of box that prevents this? Thanks

    any normal, mentally stable, healthy cats out there?

    Sometimes this forum scares me. I manage a feral cat colony (heartbreaking but rewarding) but my experience is more towards the wild, not the domestic cat. By nature, I am a dog person, but have always had an out door cat or two. Lat year, I brought my cats in and it was a very easy...

    Any tips for introducing my cat to new dogs?

    Hopefully the dogs are well trained and obey commands. Intoduce 1 at a time, slowly. Allow them to smell each other though a window or door. Smelling is very important. I recently brought a new kitten home to a well adjusted family of 2 dogs and one cat. I placed the new kitten in a crate...

    Feral Cat Health Questions

    I manage a feral army with about 25 cats. It makes me furious that people do not alter their cats and many people just abandon them to survive on their own. My days are planned around my ferals and it is heart breaking. I just had a feral with herpes (we think) that had escalated to what my...

    Need help with our cats!

    Why not give your roomiea housewarming gift of a cat condo. If money is an issue, I see very inexpensive ones on Craig's List. Most people do not like to be told how to improve parenting for a child or a furry one. You need to show your room mate and help her out. Good luck
