    Cold Turkey food switch?

    Last night, we brought home Peter Parker, our new one year old kitty.  He's integrating well.  He's getting along with the great dane, the other cats.  He isn't showing untoward attention to the 'cagepets' (sugar gliders, rats).   But he came home on Science Diet.  Which my twin cats are very...

    Weight loss--should I worry?

    My male, Leo, was on the heavier side of healthy, bordering onto overweight. He wasn't heavy enough I was worried, but I was looking into getting him one of those feeder balls to encourage him to be a bit more active. Then we introduced the 'babies.' (they're two years old, but so tiny we...

    Does anyone have a deaf white cat?

    I'm doing a blog for my new puppy, Castiel, a white great dane who is almost certainly deaf. I'm talking about deafness in animals, the training of a deaf dog, animals in general and breeders who 'cull' white animals for fear of deafness. In the future, I'd love to do a blog post on a deaf (or...

    Want to be prepared to prevent an issue

    We have four cats and it's just been confirmed that we're getting a puppy. I don't want the cats to feel like they need to defend either their litter pans or their food. What is the best way to keep a curious little puppy from sticking his nose into their faces when they are eating or peeing?

    Cat play/attitude changes--is this normal?

    I now have four cats and the little cats have been introduced to the big cats with great effect. ( click for a short video of the introduction of little cats to Leo, my big stupid cat) The little cats, though they're two, play constantly, like kittens. I think maybe they'd been feeling poorly...

    Behaviour issues in a 25 year old human (relates to cats, I promise)

    So I got this human a year ago and he seemed pretty good. His health wasn't the best, but with a bit of an uphill battle, he's now mostly healthy. He's really adapted well to my home. The cats love him. He never has accidents outside the porcelain litter box. He's clean. I can now get him...

    Cat Collar to mark allergies?

    I've never kept a collar on a cat in my life. I have harnesses for my babies when we go out to go to the vet, but other than that, my babies are au naturel. That said, MALP has been identified with a serious allergy to rice in the past couple of weeks and I'm now left worrying that, if she...

    So angry with the catsitter.

    I am BEYOND angry with my cat sitter. My partner and I adopted two little girl kitties who were sick. They're on a special diet right now and we didn't want to transition them to any kind of kibbles or anything before Christmas because they'd just gotten over being sick and we need to...

    I know they're nocturnal but...

    This is ridiculous. We adopted two little girls a couple weeks back. MALP and DHD. They came to us very sick with giardia and we went on to discover that MALP can't tolerate rice. They're doing SO much better now. Their stool is normal and their energy levels are incredible. Problem is...

    Two new kitties, bringing our total up to four!

    Hi everyone! My name's Tay. I now have four cats and have signed up because I suspect that the road to health for the newest babies will take a little while and my partner and I may need some moral support. I've had cats my whole life but, for the most part, they've been very healthy. We...

    Diarrhea in kitties

    My partner and I adopted two beautiful (but tiny) kitties on Friday. The larger of them is 3.4 lbs, but the vet says they're 2 years old. We have two other cats, but these babies were on death row if they didn't get a home right then due to a very long story. The owner said they had a 'little...
