    Pioneer Raindrop fountain

    I picked up a Pioneer Pet Raindrop Fountain ( ), as it had good reviews and was recommended in multiple places. I am noticing that it is very loud - the pump vibrates quite a bit. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience with it or knows a good way to solve it?

    Bifenthrin and cats (and dogs)

    Not sure which forum to put this in... We have an insect problem in our yard, and I'm wanting to put down insect killer granules, which are bifenthrin granules. I know for a fact that we have cats and dogs in our neighborhood that go through yards... is bifenthrin going to harm them in this case?

    Cat-safe Insecticide

    Hey there. Long time no post. First off, my boy cat Blitz is still tilt-headed, and has no balance. Haven't been able to afford to see a neurologist about it :( We moved into a new apartment-house, but it appears to have a small carpenter ant infestation. I wanted to invest in both perimeter...

    Feline Vertigo - not getting better

    Three weeks ago, I was at work when I got a call from my girlfriend saying that Blitz (our male cat), who is nearly 2 years old now, couldn't walk, and his eyes were shooting back and forth. I went home and brought him to the vet. They said that he had vestibular disease and that there was...

    Permethrin / RAID

    My girlfriend left a bag of food out yesterday, and I had a swarm (many, many) carpenter ants swarming our apartment. I immediately put my cats in the bedroom (where they have remained since), and sprayed the area with RAID. Unbeknownst to me, RAID contains permethrin, which is highly toxic to...

    Got Blitz a playmate

    Finally got Blitz a playmate... actually, it's his sister from the same litter. They are both about 9 months old now... he's not reacting too well... a lot of chasing and hissing. Kept us up last night... they'd sleep for 5 minutes, wake up, stare for 5 minutes, chase, hiss, repeat. Any idea...

    Should I get a second cat?

    Hello, again! I haven't been on in a while, but Blitz is doing well: He's calmed down a lot since and has become a good albeit feisty housecat. However, we noticed when we are not home (my girlfriend and I both work retail), he is miserable. He howls/cries when we are gone and is VERY needy...

    Trying to get my kitten to be more sociable with us

    Hey there, As you probably know, I have a 11 going on 12 weeks male Siamese wedge kitten. He's always been a hyper boy, but we've found that he isn't really calming down at all... he's been better as far as aggression goes, but he's been... 'odd'. First off, his first toy with us was a rolled...

    Ground Beef vs Kibble for kitten

    Short post, sorry... Should I be feeding my kitten ground beef, cooked ground beef, or just kibble? I've been reading that ground beef is good for them, and after working with beef, he incessantly licks then bites my fingers...

    Kitten keeps hurting himself

    Is there any threat from my young kitten Blitz having nearly no coordination? When playing, he has a habit of running into things and hitting his head... when jumping from and to objects, he has a habit of missing and hitting his head about half the time... today, he tried to jump from my chair...

    Applehead / Wedgehead Siamese mixes

    I recently adopted from a breeder an Applehead/Wedgehead Siamese mix (looking to be Chocolate-point), and I was wondering if anyone knows any possible health-risks as a result of the crossing of the two breeds, as well as if they have any photos of adult crosses so I can know what he might look...

    Kitten - very soft fæces

    Hey, Blitz' fæces were very soft the first 2 days we had him... not diarrhea, but just... soft... the consistency of soft-serve. It also smelled very bad. Today, he went, and it was even softer... JUST before the line that I'd call diarrhea. He also had the pleasantness of accidentally...

    New kitten being aggressive

    As some of you know, I recently adopted an 8 week old Siamese kitten from a breeder. NORMALLY, he's a sweetheart, but about 20% of the time, he just becomes aggressive... he will lick my hand, then start biting VERY hard.. and if I walk around, he will attack my feet. With or without socks. And...

    Paranoid about feline distemper in kitten

    Hello, My girlfriend and I are adopting an 8-week old kitten from a Siamese breeder (as my girlfriend does not show severe allergies to them as she did from domestics)... However, I've been reading up online about kitten health, and me being naturally paranoid, I've become substantially...
