You're totally right about the hemisphere. I guess i meant western as in "can go to grocery store/pharmacy and buy whatever you want" type of socioeconomic situation. We have tried frontline and revolution, I guess we will try advantage next. The vet came recommended by four or five...

I probably could give them more meat. Money wise it is cheaper to feed them steak than kibble. I haven't been doing so because they're small cats and the momma cat is unfortunately a bit chubby. Would it affect them if they got lots some days and little other days? I ask because the grocery...

Hello all, I currently do not live in a western country, and I have been having difficulty getting commercial cat food. What there is seems to be low quality (corn based) prohibitively expensive, and the brands keep getting switched every time I go to the store. I have never feed a raw food...

The mat is a good idea. Maybe try putting down 2 bowls of water, or a large bucket of water. My guys are dabblers too. One seems to like drowning her toy mouse, but if I have lots of water lying around they will play in one and drink from another. When the kitchen faucet leaks they will...

Try singing. One of mine is very vocal, more like a howl than a meow, but when I snuggle her and sing to her she seems to quieten down. Her favorite song "crazy" by patsy cline. Also you could look around to see what sound proofing measures you could take. If you have hard floors and empty...

It might take you a while to involve Luna in games. When our Calico followed us home and adopted us she didn't play either. It took about a month of experimenting and trying things out before she grasped the concept of playing. Even now her kittens will zoom by and snag her toy while she's...

Do you have enough litter in the box? One of my kitties goes into a digging craze when there's not enough litter. She's actually made grooves in the bottom of one box. As soon as we top up the litter the digging stops.

When my kitchen counter tops are wet the kitties try to jump up, but almost always slide off. (the counter tops are high and covered in tiles)

Tigger is my terrible tiger. When she wants attention she bites, be it me or the mouse cable or the other cats. She's about 1 year old now, and the behaviour started in September. If she bites me the only thing that works is shunning her, although I feel like a crazy cat lady as I stalk off...

When Calico had her kittens I listened to the sounds she made. I have been able to copy her (sort of) and so now the cats and I have 4 "communication" words. "come with me" is a soft brrip and usually works. "I have food" is a loud, ascending brrrip and always works. "don't bug me" is a...

My kitties don't have that problem, but they tend to step in all sorts of other stuff. (Paint, spilled drinks, spilled flour, makeup etc). I have learned to keep a pack of baby wipes on hand. As soon as I see the tell tale paw prints I grab a baby wipe and track down the perpetrator.

MarsBar likes tomatoe sauce and raw egg. Calico likes cooked linguini dipped in soy sauce. Tigger likes anything she can snag off your plate. They all go nuts chewing on celery leaves, spinach and cilantro, but I don't think they swallow so much as chew it up and spit it out. If they can get...

I know what you mean, two of our kitties sneeze if the house gets dusty and the quantity of snot that blow out of there little noses is amazing. I have to regularly dust under my bed and behind the shelve and in all the other strange places the kitties like to hang out.

I have to save up to get all three cats spayed. Even the local animal protector society is a bit expensive when it comes to female cats. Right now they're all female, and strictly apartment cats...and their "boyfriend" down the hall is neutered. I'm pretty sure its not that she's in heat...

It just seems weird that she went from normal to super infantile overnight.

Help! My cat has suddenly decided to become a baby again. About a year ago we found an abandoned calico cat, and since we couldn't find her a home, we adopted her. Of course she came with some surprise kittens, and we ended up keeping two of those too (the kittens are female ). Back then...
