    Anyone know about Feline Greenies Dental Treats?

    Only one of my cats will eat them, and he swallows them whole. XD Plus they have things in them that upset his stomach (he's the Allergic-To-Everything baby I have) and so I stopped buying them. Instead I add that stuff (forgot the name) to their water to help control tartar and when I feel...

    Bengal cat food TOTW or Wellness core. Ideas?

    I've fed Blue Buffalo and Wellness, and two of my three cats do fine on those brands, but my sensitive little Ember struggles with it. She gets runny poop from it, and has bouts of honestly vile diarrhea. After talking to the vet (who felt maybe the food is too rich for her delicate systems) I'm...

    Need advice on cat food issue

    Some advice: even if your cats are indoor-only, I would NEVER feed an "indoor specific" variety. I love Blue Buffalo as a brand but their indoor variety sucks. Try a "normal" variety, or try Blue Buffalo's Basics variety. Have you tried their Longevity or Wilderness diets?

    I would NEVER feed cat food to my cat - personal opinion

    I acquired my old boy Sam when I was a child. He was five weeks old, I was like nine years old, I brought home that tiny black ball of fluff and because I didn't know any better (neither did my parents) we fed him processed crap foods. I shudder to think about the nastiness we fed him for all...

    Cat not really spayed?

    Maybe check her belly for a little tattoo? My dog and my male cat both have "sterilization tattoos" since they were altered via the local CSNIP chapter, and to show that the animal is altered they make a little green tattoo on the belly. My Persian was spayed under a previous owner, who had her...

    Using Spray Bottle for Discipline?...HELP!

    I totally believe in the Feliway plugin things. No more catnip though. http://www.amazon.com/Feliway-Plug--...4892696&sr=8-1

    what does this mean...

    It was cat-language for "I'm busy, leave me alone." Nothing more or less. Sorry you got nipped though...I doubt it was personal.

    autism

    My kitty Yvaine is mentally ill. She's gotten a lot better since I've owned her, and her behavior is a lot more "normal" now than it ever has been, but...some cats ARE different. I don't know if cats can have autism, I somehow doubt it, but cats can and do have mental and behavioral disorders...

    Dry Food at Petco

    I've fed Blue for a while now...before just the regular variety, and then their new Longevity stuff, and most recently (i.e., the last few months) they've had to be on Basics due to allergies. I like the food, it seems to work well for the kitties, and their health is good, their shedding seems...

    Is anyone here really knowledgeable about cat food brands & ingredients?

    I've been feeding Blue Basics for a while now, my big kitten Merlot has some crazy food allergies, including but apparently not limited to grain allergies, certain meats, various odd veggies, et cetera. The poor boy has almost as many allergies as I do! All but one of my cats are on Blue...

    Homeopathic Stress Relief

    I cannot comment on their safety or lack thereof, but I do know this: nobody I know who has used this has known it to work very well. If you have a nervous kitty, I'd recommend trying Feliway plug-in things. Not only do I know a lot of people who've used it and loved it, I've used it as well...

    Found Kitten, has issues

    On behalf of that little kitten, thank you for taking her in and feeding her. Also, some vets are sympathetic to "found critters"...my vet helped keep my costs down very low when we had an emergency situation with a kitten my roommate found. At the time, we were still looking for his owner...

    Maximum recommended number of cats in a flat?

    I have found that it depends more on the personalities of the cats themselves than the actual space. Yvaine for example...my little tiny Persian is a timid, shy thing who has a high tolerance of other cats and so long as she has a place to hide, she's happy. I could have ten of her in a studio...

    Has anyone tried the Emery Cat scratching board?

    I hate these things. They're awful. They don't work, cats hate them, it sucks. :P I and a friend had a discussion about this product and we agreed...it is one of the crappiest cat-scratchers out there. Buyer beware.

    Tags

    Each of my kitties has a collar and tag, on the back of each tag there is my name, phone number, city and state I live in. On the front of each is their name and a little personal phrase...so each tag reads thus: Yvaine, my beautiful little North Star Merlot, my wonderful little cat Ember...

    DESPERATE Help Needed!

    I am pretty open about my love for claw caps. Kitty Caps and Softpaws are both great brands, my Munchkin is wearing some Kitty Caps brand claw caps right now. They're adorable and should preserve your stuff until your cats learn what is not ok to scratch. I also recommend catnip spray...dose...

    I need some advice about feeding situations...

    It has been. It doesn't help that I know several people with similar problems (my closest friend has pretty severe bipolar) and they all cope so well, they get the help they need, be it therapy, medication or both, and then to see my roommate struggle and refuse to help herself or lets others...

    I need some advice about feeding situations...

    Yeah, she's...yeah. Put this way...of our collective colony of cats, two of my three are longhairs and VERY heavy shedders...yet the only cat who doesn't get bathed or brushed is her Ragdoll, ergo there's nothing but white hair everywhere. This is hard for me since I'm allergic to cats, and I...

    Brushing my cat's teeth

    My cats loathe their teeth being done. I gave up on the brush and now just smear some enzymatic gel all over their teeth with a finger before they flail free and run away to hide, lol. They all have pretty awesome teeth, too, except my newest baby who has never had dental care her whole life...

    Isis cries when being groomed

    I'd definitely consider contacting a groomer. At the salon I work at, we do have some people who have cats who just dislike being groomed, and so they pay us to do it. One kitty, a BEAUTIFUL silver shaded Persian, comes in every two weeks for a full brush-out...she's awful for it but hey...
