Hi all, this is my fake Nebelung cat Benny. He was rolling around on the coffee table in the sunbeams and I couldn't resist taking a few shots! Enjoy! PS: I think he looks like the Cookie Monster

Everyone, post your kitty litter pans! I am thinking of getting a deep underbed storage container and making it into a litter space for them - the cheapo plastic tray I am using is not big enough - my Maine Coon size cat keeps kicking the sand out of the box even though he tries not to (he...

Hi, my new cat Benny is a funny one. Everytime I take a bath or shower, he rushes into the room meowing and meowing. When I looked out this morning, he'd managed to jump onto the shelf next to the shower and was peering at me intently doing the slow blinking thing. He then tried to jump into...

Hi - random question. Are male cats more smoochy than female cats? All the male cats I've met absolutely adore me (ahem) and would fall asleep in my lap / arms purring contentedly. The female cats seem to like their own space and would spazz out if I hugged them too tight / patted them for...

I just got the sweetest cat from the shelter today. You know those stories of cats choosing you and not the other way round? That's what happened! I usually stop by the shelter to have a look and play with the kitties on my way back from work from time to time. Today I saw a beautiful calico...

Hi, I just got a cat from the shelter - he has a large midline incision (they said he had a hernia) - now the problem is that the hernia is coming out again; should I bring him back to get it fixed?

I posted in here about a month ago about my flighty older retired breeding queen. She is still flighty, but at least stays still for a pat when there's something extra tasty in the food dish. When she's in deep sleep, sometimes I sneak a pat or two and she responds normally (loud purr, slow...

Hi, just found this fantastic new website called www.petspantry.com.au - they stock cat foods and offer free shipping +competitive pricing on their items, found it a great alternative to dragging all those cans of cat food from the pet store every weekend... :x Very good customer service as...

Hi all. It's me again. Now I adopted an older cat, who is still getting used to being cooped up in an indoors situation with a dog and a boisterous kitten. She used to be a breeding queen for the past 6 years and won awards for the first 2 years of her life (she was deemed too flighty for...

Hey, meet Tiger. He has since gone to a loving family but he was such fun to be around.

Hi all, now I've been spending the whole week making phone calls to Rex breeders finding out about retirees etc. I have made contact with a reputable breeder who has a lovely boy cornish rex, 9 months old - quiet, and therefore not going to be used for breeding. I mentioned this to another...

Hehehe, as in title.

Really. I don't understand the concept - holistic meaning diet modification to improve health???? But I thought most cat foods were aimed at that? I just bought a bag of Nutrience Holistic for my Siberian snuggly cat - here are the ingredients: Duck meal, brown rice, whole barley, ground...

I am very intrigued by the REX breeds. However, the over-exuberant personality descriptions turn me off a little - am wanting some peace and quiet at home with a good friend, not a hyperactive monkey toddler who would have torn up my cushions / curtains / tracked litter everywhere whilst mommy...

ARGH! I just had to come here to rant. So I WAS sleepy, had a million things on my mind, and I decided to clean the kitty litter. Yup, and I *had* to buy the cheapest garbage liners earlier today. Anyway, my new kittens have been having diarrhoea after the worming paste and new diet. So I have...

ok, excuse my typing - trying not to wake kitteh who's lying on the keyboard. my kitten who is 8 this week, has started trembling whenever she miaos... started yesterday. is it something i should be worried about? only her mouth trembles, her body is fine. it's like a mIIAAAOoo with tremor...

Hi all, I've just adopted a senior Siberian cat (7 years old, recently spayed) from a cattery. She is beautiful, but not at all what I expected from a behaviour point of view. Of note, we have a dog who is timid and stays away from cats. Quote: "personality-plus, dog-like temperament...

??? ??? Hi all, I got these two kittens from a couple who rescued them from a busy highway - by the looks of things, they were abandoned at the roadside by a family with small children (the longhair has a chunk of fur missing, looks scissored). They are quite feral and hiss at humans but have...
