    Anal sac/gland problems? (Warning: Gross)

    Hi all... I haven't posted in a while, which is a good thing, because that means Tony has been in good health! However, I have a question about something going on with him. He's about a year and five months old and we've had him for just about a year and he's all up to date on shots...

    Why is he suddenly biting my face?!

    This is not due to overstimulation. I'm really concerned, because I don't know what's causing it and it's scary for me anyway. Last week, I was sick. So, I was laying on the sofa a lot and he'd join me and snuggle with me so peacefully. I thought we had really bonded, because he was extra...

    Does appetite decrease in an aging kitten?

    I'm wondering if you find that as a Kitten nears his young adult stage, his appetite decreases at all? I'm down to feeding Tony 1 wet food 3 oz entree and 1/2 cup of dry food per day. He very rarely needs anything more, but only a couple of months ago, I was feeding him about 3/4 cup of the...

    Anyone else have an Only-Gravy-Licker?

    My guy is about 7-8 months old and doesn't favor wet food as much as dry food. I have him on a grain-free dry food, but just to get some moisture content, I give him whatever wet food he'll eat, which happens to be Whiskas Entrees. I've tried Blue Buffalo, Merrick, Newman's Own, B.F.F...

    When to transition to adult food?

    Hi everyone! Tony is just about 7-8 months old. I currently have him on a 50% wet/dry diet. His dry food is grain-free (Now! Grain-Free Kitten Food) and his wet is Whiskas Entrees (I've tried EVERY premium food available and he won't touch them). He eats 1/2 cup of dry and 1 entree per day in...

    Can they sense when we're not feeling well?

    Today, I was under the weather and Tony was extra cuddly. I was laying on the sofa and he laid on my lap the whole day. I couldn't even pet him, because i was cold and was under the blanket, but he was sound asleep anyway. i just thought it was so interesting how calm and affectionate he was...

    Tony the... Tiger?

    This is my boy, Tony! He's about 7 months old (to my knowledge). I know it's not an exact science, but I was wondering if anyone here can identify what possibly breeds he may be a mix of, since you all are so good with cats. He's very vocal, so I sometimes think he's part siamese and he...

    Kitty and the Christmas Tree...

    This is my kitten's first Christmas as he is only about 6 months old. The day we brought the tree home, we tried training him to stay out. We decorated it and when we came back from dinner, the lower Christmas balls (all plastic) were on the floor and he was sleeping in the bottom branch. We...

    A Completely Different Cat??

    About a week ago, I could accurately call my 6 month old kitten a total nut. Now, heâ€8482s completely different. Iâ€8482ve only had him for about two months, but as of last week, he was chewing, biting, meowing for no reason, darting from room to room, never sitting still, etc. I suspected...

    Very Funny Behavior

    Tony is about 6 months old and I think he's very funny. I just wanted to share two things he does that crack me up and I'd love to hear if anyone has any insight or similar experiences. So, one of the funniest things about him is that he LOVES when I clean his litter box. I'm not sure why...

    How much truth to 'any wet is better than all dry'?

    My Tony loves dry food. But at least he likes a good one. he eats 2/3 to 1 cup per day of Petcurean's Now! Grain-Free Kitten Food (dry) and he loves it. I kept reading that wet food is always better than dry and I wanted him to have a variety, so I tried all kinds of wet food with him, but...

    Should I Be Worried?

    My 6 month old kitten, Tony is generally energetic and affectionate. Every now and then he surprises me, though. In the evening, when I'm laying on the sofa, if he wants to join me, he jumps onto my chest and nuzzles in my neck, while purring. Cute, right? Well, every so often, he decides...

    Is my 6 mo old kitten eating enough?

    Tony is currently 5.5 to 6 months old and weighs between 6.5 and 7 lbs. He typically eats twice a day, around 7am and 7 pm. I have no idea what they were feeding him at the shelter, but I started out giving him dry food with a spoonful of wet, because that's all he'd eat of the wet food. I...

    Tony the Cat from NYC

    Hello all! I'm a big believer in forums and online communities, so I'm excited to be here. A little about me: I grew up with a black and white shorthair car named Rockelle (Rocky for short), who was rescued on a farm as the runt of the litter. She lived to be about 12 years old before she...
