Sorry for the blunt thread topic but I thought it might draw more attention. I have a 7 year old indoor only neutered male Abyssinian cat who is a very energetic, active cat. I think his metabolism runs hot all the time. He has had this ongoing behavior where, most often after the first meal...

OMG if our city's Green Bin service allowed cat litter that would be awesome. We're on the west coast in Canada where it's not permitted but on the other side of the country it is (only clay or organic types). The reason we got onto the wood pellets was they're more acceptable and sustainable...

Thanks - so far with eucalyptus oil and vinegar in the wash things seem to be coming out OK. We have pretty much come to the same conclusion, as much as I hate putting the soiled litter into landfill. One thing I didn't mention before about this adventure was the one who I suspect is urinating...

Thanks for the reply, we have pretty much ruled out environmental/medical as potential causes for the change - and I have to add that since we reverted to having 100% of the previous litter, I've not found any traces of rogue urination. We are always checking for the usual things when our boys...

We have 2 unrelated Abyssinian males, 4 and 5 years old that we have tried to switch from clumping litter to wood pellets. It's been almost a year and have tried all the gradual methods (attractants, mixing with litter etc) but it wasn't until we switched the actual litter boxes to their...

Definitely, thanks.

We have 2 male Abyssinian cats 3 and 4 years old. Following the instructions over the course of about 3 weeks, we noted they were peeing in the new system but not pooping. 3 days ago we pulled the old litter boxes, and only one cat has pooped - on the carpet 15 feet away from the litter area. We...

We have a 4 year old Abyssinian who is 100% healthy (just saw the vet 2 weeks ago). He's started this really strange behavior that in my opinion is either territorial or sexual. The best way to describe what happens is if you imagine a bull fight, but imagine the bull is mostly sitting down...

Thanks to all of you - he is ALOT better since we returned and the fur seems to be growing back - no evindence if fleas etc.

We returned from a one week vacation to our 2 cats (brother and sister, 4 yrs old) - only to find alot of bunches of the male cat's fur on the floor. On closer inspection it appears as though he had licked himself in one area (side, near ribcage). Now it's shedding season and these are both...
