I'm looking into feeding the kitties raw, but there is SO much information about it :S. I have one question to start with: Chicken is VERY expensive in our area, can I feed just beef? With chicken bits maybe once a week (maybe - it's really $$$), maybe pork if we can find a supplier, maybe...

We've made the difficult decision that Tasha simply isn't happy in our home & with two young babies we don't have the time to help her become more socialized and a happy healthy cat. So she's leaving us for an appartment with my sister (where she can get more exposure to people & hopefully...

Oscar has been having diarrhoea on & off for a few weeks now. He's been to the vet, was dewormed & the diarrhoea stopped for the last 2-3 days. Then yesterday it started again. The one thing I noticed during those 2-3 days - they were also days he ate my left-over rasin bran! He was on a...

First of all someone tries to clip Tasha's nails this morning, that same someone is now missing several large chunks of flesh and only 5 nails got trimmed. ARG!! Second. The cats have DESTROYED our brand new leather ottoman. Now short of using kitty hide to re-cover it... (I believe the issue...

We're getting things organized to send Peaces & Oscar for a vet visit in a couple weeks (still dealing with Christmas stuff & the new baby they can wait another 2 weeks). However, my landlord/neighbour has come up with a suspected rabies case on one of his cows!! :O. It being the holidays no...

Oscar is about 3 months now and he's pretty good at cleaning up after himself after he uses the litter - but not RIGHT away. In fact he likes to come and jump on you for cuddles THEN go clean his business. It's SO gross . What can I do to encourage him to clean up RIGHT away? Of course a bath...

I know this is a strange question... I was just wondering how cats go about eating mice. I remember my 'owl pellet' lessons from grade school - but what about cats? I ask because MK caught a shrew half the size of her head this morning!! :O (good girl!) and she always eats them face-first...

Well turns out Peaches is very aptly named. It started out with her stealing the leftovers from my toddler's breakfast every morning (it started with just lapping up milk which she loves). Last week she ran off with a couple orange slices... This morning she ate 1/4 of a MANGO!??? (good thing...

Has anyone looked at the new Presidents Choice brand of cat food? I can't find the nutritional information online to copy (I'm sure it's out there somewhere too) so please bear with me if there are a few typos. Right now our cats HAVE to be on a cheaper cat food (sorry kitties) but it's only...

WHO POOED IN MY DINING ROOM!?? Right in the middle of the room too - there is no excuse so I'm starting a witch-hunt!! It happened sometime over night. See if you can think of something I can't: - we have 3 litter boxes, 4 cats; I know I should have 5 but our home is less the 500 square feet...

Just because this has been bothering me for ever. Is there a reason that we're (or I'm!) blocked from seeing who is online? I always find it really helpful when I'm looking for a mod to see if there is one on who is actually at their computer. Just wonderin'

2 weeks ago or so Miss Kitty & Tasha seem to have gotten into a brawl in the middle of the night. I'm sure it started with Tasha wanting to play and M.K. NOT and just escalated because they are still fine together & love each other (MK even left a mouse outside for Tasha during her...

Because I was just petting Miss Kitty & thinking about the fact she's once again lost her collar, here is a question for everyone: Do your cats wear collars? Are they indoor or outdoor cats? Why or why not? We try to keep collars on everyone, especially M.K. (since she's indoor/outdoor) which...

We recently changed from two fish tanks to one big one (and in the process hubby & I had the biggest dissagreement over the colour of the gravel we've ever had . Picking a name for our first son was easier... but that's neither here nor there). Peaches is VERY impressed and spends most of her...

Long story short: we're having a problem with our drains (it's being fixed) but I hadn't done dishes for a few days because of not being able to drain the sink. Hubby worked up something temporary so I could clean laundry/shower/do dishes, etc. (yippie!). So there was a sink full of dry dishes...

He looks so sweet and innocent, and then... His poor mommy!! Then he's back to adorable baby bat-ears: Oh & he totally knows his name!!! He comes running when you call him twittering like his mommy, and curling his back & tail. SO SO SO CUTE!!!!!

Tasha got out again a few days ago (like 4 or 5 now). We're really not sure how this time, it's possible hubby's friend let her out by accident - but that's not really important. The biggest thing is that she just isn't coming back in. I've been feeding her outside and she comes when I call but...

Oscar is now 9 weeks old and Peaches' only kitten. Every-time they curl up together it looks like he's nursing, but I don't think he's actually getting anything (or if any, very little) but is just pacifying. Obviously Peaches wouldn't let him do it if she didn't want him too, but I'M starting...

Definitely a cute-ness alert... Oscar is 9 weeks old & the bane of his mother's existence!! He learned how to get out of his kitty pen about a week ago, and since the house is already baby-proofed, we just let him out. Chaos has ensued . Oscar. Mommy-tackle!! Nom, nom, nom...

Mango got a new name as he seems to be sticking around We moved him downstairs so he'll be part of the family a little more & the electric fireplace keeps him nice & warm. Also he's GREAT with the litter box now!! Yes, I know what sort of box that is but it's Oscars favourite after Lucas...
