Certainly! To start, he's been neutered, has been since before I got him. His environment hasn't changed in months, we moved at the end of August and his problems went away for a little while, I think because he had a new area to explore. But we haven't switched his food or litter, and since we...

Thank you both for the links - unfortunately neither of them have given me much insight. :( As a kitten I used the "put him in a quiet room" trick quite often, and have reverted back to it now, but it hasn't decreased the frequency of his play-attacks. Standing still only makes him play more. If...

Hello again! My boy Indiana has had issues with biting me since he was a kitten, he gets into playful moods and takes out his energy on me by jumping on me and biting or clawing me, he is 18 pounds of muscle and not declawed, and can usually make it up to my shoulder with one jump! Following the...

It might be a good idea to give her a room or a few rooms to herself while you get things sorted in your new home. That way, she'll get used to the smells of your new place, without losing touch with you. I live in Florida, and I can tell you that you won't have much problem with the heat until...

He bit me good this morning, caught me in my upper arm while I was sitting at my computer. I fussed at him and removed him from my room, and he ran back in and did it again, so he's in time-out. I'm really at a loss here.

Photographic proof that Indiana is definitely trying to kill me. (Actually, he was just bored and grabbed a butter knife out of the dishwasher while the dishes were air drying.)

He and our dog are fantastic together. They used to play together a lot, but our dog is an old man and he can't handle that kind of rough-housing anymore. They still snuggle together in the afternoons when they both get sleepy, and Indy grooms his face. Indy gets playtime spread out across the...

Bump - Would love any insight on this.

Grains are cheaper than meats, so if they can make a product with grain and market it as healthy, they get better profits. I use Blue Buffalo for both my cat and my dog, I personally love it and they do too. It is not the cream of the crop in terms of feeding options, but it is good. One thing...

My little troublemaker Indiana has just turned one year old! Unfortunately, he still is chock full of behavioral problems that are driving us up the wall! The last time I posted, he had a nasty habit of waking me up by attacking my head. I'm proud to say that this problem has been fixed. He no...

I posted a while back about my girl Diamond, who has been living with renal failure. Well, we took her to a vet in the big town about an hour away from us, the vet there said what we thought - that she was still going downhill even though she seemed perky, and when she stopped eating or...

Our vet has been horrible thus far, I am going to take her to a vet that's about an hour's drive away instead of this terrible one near us. Hopefully they will have more to say about it. Our vet right now was under the impression that all we could do for her is put her on Science Diet's renal...

My girl Diamond is roughly 14 years old now, and has been in renal failure for the past year. She's not eating or drinking much, and I am starting to think it will be time to have her put down soon so she won't suffer. I am just having trouble figuring out when that will be. Some background: We...

I really goofed up with their breeds, didn't I? I fixed all three, they are definitely Domestic Shorthairs, NOT American Shorthairs.

I am silly and missed the Domestic Short Hair option. He is definitely a mix of some kind. :P He is absolutely gorgeous, and he knows it!

Oh yes, he has never been bred, and is already neutered! All of our fur-kids are, not just to remove the chance of accidental breeding, but to help improve their moods and health as well. We do think he's got some sort of oriental cat in his lines, he's got that angled face and sleek body and...

I'm sorry, it is extremely hard to get a good picture of him. It shows best when he is sitting directly in the sun... I wish I had kept his Petfinder picture, that was the best picture of him that i've seen. The only other good picture I have of him is when he was a kitten, and it still doesn't...

Congratulations on your new kitty! It is so great that you are taking the time to learn about good food choices. Everyone's suggestions so far have been right along with what I would recommend. This has already been mentioned, but I wanted to re-iterate, when you start switching your baby...

My boy Indy is an extremely odd color...! The rest of his litter were tuxedo kittens, and I think he got some influence from it as well. However, his main body color is a deep chocolate brown... And he has slightly darker stripes in his fur. o_O Any idea on what this color is called, and what...

Yes, thankfully neuters are much simpler than spays. Your boy should only be there for a few hours. Good luck to you!
