So, yesterday afternoon, I decided to give my cats a bath. BAD IDEA.
I was bit on my wrist and I'm pretty sure I have an impending infection. It's getting warm to the touch and is extremely sore. After looking up cat bites online, I'm freaking out and am taking my butt to a clinic today to...
My Luna developed a lump on the back of her neck after her first round of vaccinations. We kind of watched it for a while and it just kept getting bigger. The vet suggested we remove it because of the possibility it had for becoming larger and possibly cancerous. When we had it removed it was...
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Here is what has happened. Apparently he need to be rid of the cats sooner than originally thought. I picked them up today. They are in my room now and adjusting beautifully. It makes me happy to know they still know who I am. I'm going to leave...
I'm not exactly new to this site, I used to post on it years ago, under a different screen name. Due to life circumstances, I stopped, and now I'm dealing with a situation and knew this would be the place to ask for advice. This will be a long story/post, so I appreciate it if you make it...
Ares -
beans
peas
Fudge bars- I never let him actually try them, but I do let him lick the stick after I'm done.
any kind of meat
Luna -
Adhesive. Anything that has a sticky back to it. She will seriously woof it down. We have to watch leaving stickers or tape around.
Nova-
she has refined...
I make catnip chew toys for my kitties. It's basically just a tube of thick fabric- mine are canvas upostery type fabrics, with a rope sewn into one or both ends. My cats LOVE these things more than any store bought catnip toy. You wouldn't want to make it out of white fabric though. My...
Ziggy- Black and white longhair with a distinctive white dot on his forehead and a white circle on his chin. He passed away at around 15 years old. He had a mass in his neck that made it hard for him to breath. He was a beautiful cat.
Scooter- Was born 6 months before me, and lived until he...
I agree that if there is a way to have them out of their carriers so they can move around it will be tons less stressful, for them and you. With a trip that long your looking at hours of yowling and possible potty accidents if they don't have a litter box available. Also, being in a scary...
This reminds me, we used to have a cat who would attack our dog if anyone was yelling. He would go to the other room to find him so he could attack him. It really wasn't very violent, just a couple slaps in the face.
I think some cats are upset by strong emotions, it may just be his way off...
The mats that I used were actually the runner varitey that you were talking about. It was less stiff, so really easy to work with.
About just keeping him out of my room... that is absolutely not an option. I live in a one bedroom apartment and their litter boxes are in our bedroom. If I...
I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I thought I'd throw it out as an idea to keep cats from going to the bathroom under the bed.
So about a month ago, I posted about how I was having trouble keeping my kitten Ares, from peeing and pooping under the bed. He would use the litter...
