    IBD Cat Vomiting Vomiting and Vomiting

    My 1.5 year old neutered indoor only cat has started vomiting food every day. He's vomiting up food, not hairballs. I wouldn't be so worried if it was just a hairball. He vomited again on our bed last night at 2am, and that was not fun. This started about 2 weeks ago, and we took him in to see...

    My kitty makes all kinds of fun noises and I always read on this board about other people's kitties that chirp and trill... But what's the difference between these two? How can you tell whether your cat chirped or trilled? When my cat makes noise, it would be nice to identify it as a chirp...

    Websites about fish not good for kitties?

    I'm trying to convince my dear boyfriend why fish is not ideal for our male kitty. I've at least convinced him enough not to feed the human canned tuna anymore to our little guy, but I am not yet able to convince him that we should not really be feeding our guy any foods with fish in them. Our...

    Kitty Bed with a Removable Liner

    I recently had to toss out my kitty's bed. My kitty had an episode of diarrhea, got some on his fur and then tracked it to his kitty bed. I washed it, but the foam disintegrated in the washing machine and it no longer holds its shape very well. So now I'm in the market for a new kitty bed that...

    Cat insists on being spoon fed

    For some reason my 6 month old kitten decided recently that he only wants to eat his wet food while I am spoon feeding him and he licks it off the spoon. He used to eat it just fine out of the bowl until one day he turned his nose up at it so I offered it to him on a spoon. He's been demanding...

    Cat is very insistent on covering it up in the litterbox

    So I was scooping my kitty's litterbox out the other day with my kitty watching me of course. Well, I guess he didn't like what I was doing. I exposed a pile of #2 and just as I was about to scoop it, he walked in his litterbox, buried it, and then walked out and waited. It was the funniest...

    It's Time for a Bath

    My baby needs a bath. He's had diarrhea for a little while. Fortunately we were able to get that issue cleared up. However since he is a longhair, some of it got stuck in his fur. I cut it all out, but he still stinks pretty bad back there. So its time for a bath. What shampoo would you...

    Type of Comb or Brush for a longhair?

    I love brushing my kitty. He loves it too. And his fur feels so silky soft afterwards. Currently I use a brush like this, using the metal side mostly cause he likes that one better. But I'm wondering if I should be using a comb instead of a brush. If so what kind of comb or how fine should it...

    Pet Food Ordering Online

    I used to order cat food online that was cheaper than buying it in the store. Don't remember the link anymore. Was it petfooddirect.com? Went there this morning and the look of the site has changed so I don't know if that was the right one. Did they change the look of their site recently or do I...
