    Getting a licken

    We've all heard the term "gett'in a lickin", or "you're gonna get a licken". I wonder if it has to do with the way one cat will "groom" another one? I ask because our senior cat (about 4 1/2 years old) sometimes seems to get fed up with one or the other of our two kittens (both under 3 months...

    In doubt about a possible new boy ...

    We are a 2-cat house. The motto here is "2 laps, 2 cats". But since last fall, there's only been one kitty to go around. Our older girl, Diva, a sweet little Weegie, crossed the bridge. Now we're ready to fill that empty lap. In the past, our kitties have come to us in a relatively unplanned...

    Anybody used "Pet Boundary"

    Has anyone here tried the "Pet Boundary" -- that device that sends a signal that's supposed to make a cat 'bug off' when it comes within range? We have a nice, new oriental rug that our cats instantly realized made an excellent scratching spot. My wife is threatening to declaw, I'm saying I'll...
