    Window watchers?

    Does anyone worry about their kitty pushing out their window screens? I am absolutely paranoid that Storm will get a burr up her hiney and try to escape through an open window. Am I justified in this worry, lol? She LOVES sitting in the living room and kitchen windows and though they feel secure...

    When is it safe

    to assume that a cat isn't going to scratch on 'inappropriate' objects? Storm is a year old now and she mostly scratches on boxes, a rug, our clothes basket and one dresser (that I haven't seen her stretch on in ages). Right now she is wearing soft claws but with a possible addition in a few...

I'm super excited, however, I raw fed Storm as a kitten and I don't have the room or DH to cooperate with this type of feeding and I...

    Good wellness check today!

    Storm had her first appointment with our new vet. The Dr.'s seen Pebbles on a few different occasions and done a very nice job with her. You can tell she really likes the job and isn't in it for the $$. Any-who, poor girl cried the whole car ride there (I kept talking to her and telling her she...

    Possible to change their internal clock?

    Ughh, Storm is officially a year old now, when will she grow up? I have decided that with her opposable thumbs she must be part spider monkey! She woke up at 5:00AM this morning and literally started running hot laps around the house! I'm not sure what she was doing upstairs but she had...

    Cat grass to save my aloe plant?

    So Storm is absolutely infatuated with 'Bob' my aloe plant. He was doing poorly and I wasn't sure why, DH witnessed Storm biting the tips of his 'leaves'. Moved him from the window sill to the top of the fridge, problem solved Bob starts to perk up again. This lasted for about 2 weeks, Storm...

    Your favorite harness?

    I've been thinking about making a new harness for Storm, I already sew all her and the dog's collars so I'm hoping a harness isn't that huge of a step up. What style do you all prefer? Right now she has something very similar to the 'Safety Cat Lead & Harness' and neither one of us really like...

    Problems with Sweat Scoop?

    Ok, so after about 6 months of having Storm inside the house with us I can't get this darn litter to work for me! I'm so sick of scraping stuck litter off the bottom of the pan. I've tried keeping the litter shallow (2" deep), medium (3-4" deep), and really deep (5" +) and all the urine drains...

    Any gardeners?

    I'm getting spring fever, the weather in NW Ohio (though a bit rainy) as been WONDERFUL! So I'm planning out my beds for this year. I'm planning on planting Daisy Mix seed in the bed on the south side of the house around our porch. It's 8'x12" on either side and the front will be around 24'x12"...

    Another color question?

    What is she? She has less color on the front part of her body, most of the redish/orange color is on her back, hips, tail, and paws. She also seems to be getting oranger as she ages. When I got her as a kitten her paws and stomach were a very light creamy color, they've darkened up considerably...

    I thought wet food was supposed to fill 'em up??

    So I recently started feeding Storm canned cat food. Which she LOVES She is starting to level out (growing wise) & she looks more and more like a cat every day (vs. the kitten look, lol I know she's a cat) and she's started gaining weight. She's by no means fat at all but I want to keep her...

    Dehydrated raw instead of canned?

    Storm is currently eating TOTW dry about 1 1/3c daily (half in AM, half in PM) I would like to add canned food. Perhaps as her PM meal, she scarfs down her food and since her growing is leveling off she's starting to gain mass and not 'size'. According to TOTW's feeding recomendations she should...

    An afternoon at my house...

    What a typical afternoon looks like at my house. I am of course on TCS, DF, PHJ, and FB (all at the same time mind you) The dog's freezing, of course, so she's under the blanket, and the cat is tormenting the poor dog by laying all over her.

    Clicker training/name recognition?

    Any one have good resources/advice on clicker training a kitten and helping them with name recognition? Storm (16 weeks) does not seem to understand that I'm not just flapping my lips. I know she is not hard of hearing, she recognizes other sounds catch her attention right away. Is there any...
