    No easy answers on feeding!

    This is a great article that's definitely worth reading -- http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/...ido-food_N.htm Quoting from this article, "Cats, as carnivores, are harder. "The best thing for a cat is to go get a whole mouse or a rat," he says." On the way home for lunch I also heard on...

    Has anyone's dog or cat died this past year?

    My son is getting married this year and last summer his fiancee's dog, Andy, died under suspicious circumstances that sound a lot like the ones surrounding this pet food recall. Andy started vomitting and refused to eat or drink.

    Best cat litter?

    I am really puzzled about which cat litter is the safest and healthiest to use. For over a year I used Fresh Step regular clay litter and I recently switched to a combination of Yesterday's News/Feline Pine. I was determined to never again use clay litter because of silica dust (health...

    Best Biodegradeable Cat Litter?

    Okay, I've just about had it with regular kitty litter. I've been using Fresh Step and I've noticed its inconsistency. Sometimes the bags have a lot of the blue crystals and at other times, the clay seems almost ground to a pulp of dust. When I cleaned out the litter boxes a few days ago, I...

    Rolling around in dirt?

    Why does Moo cat enjoy rolling around in dirt? He seems to prefer a neighbor's flower bed that was recently covered with a fine, sandy topsoil. His soft, silky, white fur becomes dingy looking and he leaves a sandy, dirt residue on my chair cushions that I just washed!

    Question about Moo Cat

    We've been caring for a stray (Mooie cat) for about a year and a half. As he is a large cat, not heavy, but just big with long legs, I am wondering if he could possibly be a Maine Coon breed. What is really unusual about Mooie is that he squeaks and trills, but never meows. When he went...

    Mooie cat is back!!!

    He came back on Palm Sunday. Scroll down to, "Woman sees Virgin Mary in roasting pan," for the details. He survived a major snowstorm, chilling temperatures, more snow, and the dreaded coyote. You go, Mooie!!

    Mooie cat does not like rain!

    Mooie, a stray cat and a strictly regular night-time visitor, was seen by my kids on our porch this afternoon. Naturally, the kids fed Mooie when they saw him. I know this isn't an extremely important question, but why did Mooie decide to make a daytime visit? Was it the rain? Just some...

    Can a cat have his/her birthday cake and eat it, too?

    Well, today's my b-day, and I'd like to know if it's safe for cats to eat a small quantity of birthday cake. Lucy loves sniffing and eating some cake morsels. My only concern is the sugar content of the cake/frosting and if it will damage the cats' teeth. Any comments? Have a nice day!

    For Zannie's Mom and other posters

    I just wanted to add to your story about Buddy. During the winter and early spring months, I was feeding a stray/feral orange cat that one night looked like he was mauled. The fur on the side of his face was ripped out and his eye was partially closed. My husband calls this infrequent visitor...

    Dry or part wet cat food for stray?

    Wow, the forum has really changed since my last visit. I have a question about Mooie cat, a stray outside tuxedo cat that I've been feeding and taking care of on my back porch. Mooie seems to prefer dry cat food and I've been feeding him? Nutro natural choice adult and some Purina One. I used...

    Tuxedo cat male or female?

    Here's a pic of our black/white porch cat, Sylvester/Sylvie. Do you think it's a male/female and would you call it a tuxedo cat?

    Help with Punky and other kittens

    I need some help with Punky developing a better relationship with my other kittens, Cindy and Lucy. To make a long story short, Punky was a rescue kitten that we thought was younger (she's now about 10 or 11 months old) because she was wandering the woods and surviving on whatever possible and...

    Spotted tabbies

    Cindy and Lucy, my two sibling kittens, are spotted and striped brown tabbies. (But they seem to be getting greyer looking with the growth of longer hairs on their winter coats) I posted some earlier messages that alluded to them as possibly being part Mau cat at the Breeder's forum. One...

    Tortie colors

    Punky, our newest addition to the family, is a tortie with mostly black and peach/apricot markings. But if you look closely, you will notice darker orange/red patchy fur with the peach and black. She has one front paw with lots of peach/orange and one orange paw pad among the black ones. What...
