I moved 30 miles away to a very small town.  One of my cats was a barn cat prior to me adopting him and since he has always been an indoor/outdoor cat.  Not chipped and no collar - he wasn't chipped when he was neutered by the humane society and I never put a collar on him as I heard horror...

I've only had cats for about 5 years now give or take, so I don' t know if this is normal or not. Adopted a 3 month old kitten last spring/summer and noticed he wasn't the most coordinated guy - for example he would try to jump up to the counter from the floor and sometimes he'd hit the counter...

For Reference Bailey: 5-7 year old neutered male Cooper: 5-7 year old neutered male Lynk: > 1 year old neutered male I had succeeded in changing over from dry food to wet.  I initially was feeding a combination of Drs. Foster & Smith and 9 Lives and noticed Lynk had liquid poops other two...

So Lynk is one of those cats who likes to use one box for peeing and another box for pooping.  I found this out the hard way as I watched him pee just fine in one and then poop on my laundry room floor. So I added another box in the downstairs area, my question is this.... The new box is...

My boss/co-worker lives on several acres of wooded area.  Last night his family found 6 kittens (umbilical cords still attached so thinking very very newborn), one was dead already and the rest were rather cold.  So they get a heating pad and some blankets and in the process of getting them warm...

After reading some articles on this site I am now determined to feed 100% wet.  I was going to feed wet in the morning/night and then leave dry out over the day.  Yeah, no more of that! Cat food however isn't like dog food I'm finding out.  I can buy a 30lb bag of quality dog food for $55. ...

Lynk has long hair and has bits left near his bottom.  How can I get him to start cleaning that and can I give him a bath?  He's rather smelly because of it.

I have 3 cats... Cooper 5-6 year old neutered male Bailey 5-6 year old neutered male Lynk 5-6 month old neutered male Bailey had crystal/UTI issues with his previous owner, since I have had him he hasn't had any.  Current Food... Dry: Purina Pro Plan Urinary Tract Health Formula Wet...

Cats are confusing.  I grew up with Labs - know what goes into an introduction between two Labs?  Nothing, they meet, smell each other and then start to work together to get whatever is editable off the counter together. Cooper (5-6 years old) grew up playing with Avery who passed away this...

Adopted him 1 week from today from the Humane Society. Meet Lynk!

The Players: Lynk (5-6 Months old) the New Guy, Bailey (5-6 Years old) the Grumpy Old Man, Cooper 'Koopa' (5-6 Years old) the Cool Kid. Bailey to Koopa Dynamic Bailey lived as an only cat elsewhere for 4 years.  His previous owner had two small dogs who constantly chased and barked at Bailey...

Lynk is 5-6 months old and was adopted from the Humane Society last Friday.  He came with a bag of Science Diet Kitten. I have two adult male cats at home, Bailey and Cooper who are both 5-6 years old (again adopted so exact ages are hit or miss).  They get fed wet food and I leave dry out...

I adopted a 5 month old cat/kitten from the Humane Society on Friday (named him Lynk).  They had some sneezing going around the clinic and even made a note of it on the adoption paperwork.  There is ever so slight clear discharge and they (Humane Society lady who did all my paperwork) told me...

Growing up my family had a dog that had a very bad reaction to her shots.  Now for both my labs I get titer testing instead of just asking for whatever yearly vaccinations are on the schedule.  I am very much so on the side that over vaccinations are more of a threat then a help (Not here to...

Humane Society had him listed as Siamese mix, but he has longer hair - isn't a longer hair Siamese a Balinese?  Also, what's the difference between a Balinese and a Ragdoll?  Both have longer hair and blue eyes. He's 5 months old - was an owner surrender.

I'm torn, I really want to get a kitten for myself and also for a playmate for Cooper.  But I'm also afraid that it will turn out to be another situation of when I first got Bailey. Background: I bought Avery from a breeder, felt bad for buying a cat verse adopting so adopted Cooper soon...

My cat Cooper was adopted and the only info they had on him is that he was a stray that came in at a young age.  Usually during spring/fall I leave the sliding glass door open to my deck (deck is on the 2nd story of the house) so my dogs and both my cats can go outside during the day when I'm at...

This may get lengthy... It's been 9 days since I had to put one of my cat down - the one in my avatar.  I came home one night to him being extremely lethargic, rushed him to the ER vet and by that time he was too far gone.  The vet pulled me aside and said that they could do all these things on...

I took all three to the vet last week to rule out UTI, and all litter boxes are clean. One cat is peeing on anything that is laying around - clothes, towels, rugs or just the floor on cords.  Today I come to find that my purse was peed on last night and I left it laying on the counter. How to...

Adopted a 5 year old male cat on July 23rd renamed him Bailey.  Have two other male adult cats that have been together from the kittenish age (they were both a few months old when introduced), they are both a little over 4 years old. After reading some articles I followed the advice and setup a...
