    Do you clean out your litterbox everyday?

    2 cats, 1 big box... and usually every 1.5 days. I aim for every day, but sometimes its easy to forget when it doesn't smell (they are REALLY good at burying. and I keep it pretty deep)

    Do cats care about shape of their toys?

    Floyd's favorite toy is the little red plush ear he ripped off a dog toy, as well as the sticky tape from new video games (only xbox360 games weirdly enough) Zoe's favorite toy is a toss up between the lazer pointer and carrying around a plush purple gorilla dog toy. They also like kinder...

    Can you brush their teeth??

    ah awesome I used to brush my old dogs teeth but didn't know if there was a kitty-alternative. Both our cats get a mix of wet and dry in the morning and at night (otherwise they aren't huge fans of how the dry tastes since both were used to really bad dry food and now we're at the...

    Can you brush their teeth??

    I know you can brush dogs teeth, but what about cats?? Zoe LOVES getting up close and personal in your face. And holy geez does she get gross breath especially after wet food :S So it makes me wonder if there is any kind of kitty-toothbrush stuff? even to just brush with water. I imagine it...

    Possible to confine kitten to living in a few rooms and yard, or too cruel/hard?

    yet another hand raised about finding this kitty a new loving home. in point form: 1) your neighbor is wacko and it could endanger your kitten 2) you don't seem very attached 3) Siamese cats are vocal, regardless 4) you being stressed can stress out your already stressed kitten, not to mention...

    Cat and kitten play fighting, How far is too far?

    what ducman said With our two, Zoe was just added to the household end of dec at around 6 mos of age (she was about 6 lbs or less). Floyd just turned two on April 4th and was a big kitty (he's slimming down, was about 12-14 lbs when Zoe came around, now thanks to playing a lot and better food...

    horizon complete? Other suggestions?

    I had no idea those stores even existed :S thanks for the links! The wet food intake I do try to give every day for one meal, its just sometimes it has to be crappy wet food (the purina canned chunk stuff, not the paste) due to the whole wet-food-being-so-expensive but I try for at least 2...

    horizon complete? Other suggestions?

    I'm having a heck of a time finding a decent dry food for the kitties, wet is fine (combo of 'eek bad' friskies chunks thingers and merrick wet canned food), but for dry... It seems nowhere has anything that I see get recommended. So since the SO was always determined to keep them on purina, I...

    floyd... likes me? o.0

    nope, not pregnant :P And I've never ignored him, lol. I have always given him the same amount of attention (a lot) since coming around. Though the choosing me as his person thing seems plausible. The bf who was always Floyds Person before is now Zoes Person (as he's generally hanging out on...

    floyd... likes me? o.0

    Floyd has always been one of those very standoffish cats. BF got him from the shelter at a 4 months old, brought him home, and he would occasionally lay on a lap, but even for the most part, nope. Not a big cuddler/affectionate cat. Mostly laying next to BF on occasion in the morning/once in a...

    litterbox 'thumping'

    haha like I said, I've tried hoodless and all that happens is Zoe get's mad, and Floyd kicks sand EVERYWHERE (and I mean everywhere. Half the litter ends up on the floor, and then he thumps at the wall or anything close even louder while meowing....) Top entry litterboxes just have him still...

    MY cat LOVES my husband...help!

    Kinda sounds like our cats. I'm the one who feeds (visibly) cleans litterbox, plays, brings home the fun stuff, gives wet food and treats and is home more often for the moment (slow work season) Who do ALL the pets love? The BF.

    litterbox 'thumping'

    this has got to be the only thing that actually annoys BF and I about our cats. Floyd, bless his little furry heart, has this 'habit' with his literbox. Or, for that matter, ANY box such as a rubbermaid container used for laundry that he will overturn if its less than half full, take the...

    I feel like I've tried everything to get her to stop!

    haha she sounds like my Zoe. With her (and Floyd) we've had to put baby locks on the cupboards, keep the bathroom door closed all the time, and pick our battles (such as using corner of my computer desk is okay to jump on the lizard tank, but snoozing on my keyboard is not okay. going on the...

    And there will be NO Zoe kittens.

    Zoe was officially spayed yesterday. She was NOT happy about having no food since 6 the night before, and no water since midnight, but well, she dealt. Though I think I was more worried about her all day than she was likely concerned :P The clinic we took her to has you drop them off between...

    Zoe's first heat cycle... ack!

    We can't stop laughing. They break for a bit, and every time Zoe walks by Floyd (who is laying down) he puts a paw around her and licks her face before letting her keep going.... And now he's eating and she's rolling around on her back doing the 'dirty kitty dance' *gigglesnort*

    Zoe's first heat cycle... ack!

    haha well so far Floyd (for a cat who was fixed at the shelter as a kitten before ever even remotely knowing what lady kitty bits were) has figured out everything except that a girl cats parts are UNDER her tail, not on her back (she's also really long bodied) They're litterally just walking...

    Zoe's first heat cycle... ack!

    So, we got Zoe about 15 days ago. Seems crazy we've had her for 2 weeks already, but that's besides the point. Due to wonky hours, we weren't able to get her into the vet until the 28th or 29th (its written in my wallet, but regardless) So. She's officially about 6 mos old, healthy, has her...

    Massive ammounts of curiousness

    So, being realatively new to cat ownership (usually its roomates who have cats, so their call, but now I live with my boyfriend who has a cat, and we just jointly got a kitten) I'm curious after reading some things up about raw feeding. I'm sorry if there is already something created on this...
