    Please help: when is it time to put my cat to sleep?

    About eight months ago, we adopted a Persian mix named Marcel. He was low energy from the start and would just sit on the couch, but became somewhat affectionate. He would come in and sleep with us at night and purr. My fiancee wanted to try him on some higher end food (he'd be on Fancy Feast)...

    How to get a cat to cover their poop?

    Marcel never covers his poop, and not only is it stinky, but with his furry paws it really causes problems.  He poops, doesn't cover, steps in it, and then the poop gets stuck to the furry paws and gets tracked everywhere!  Gross!! Is there any way to teach him to cover his poop?  Any insight...

    Gooey eye?

    My new cat Marcel has one eye that has some fluid leaking out and it gets quite crusty (enough to have to clean off the crusty eye boogers daily).  He also squints a bit with that eye.  He has a vet appointment on Friday just for a general check-up and to meet my vet so she knows him in case he...

    Stylish cat towers?

    Anyone know of any STYLISH looking cat trees/towers?  I'm kind of thinking about getting one, but a giant thing covered in beige carpet remnants is out of the question.  If I can find something that is both stylish and super fun for kitties I don't mind shelling out a decent amount of money- I...

    How much is too much for a cat gaining weight?

    My new cat Marcel is very underweight and needs to be on a weight-gaining diet until he's reached a healthy weight.  If I just constantly fed him wet food, it seems like he would be happy to just constantly eat, but how much is too much?  Is it unsafe for cats to gain weight TOO quickly? ...

    Must-have grooming tools for long-haired cats?

    My new cat is a Persian/PersianX- I've never had a cat before with that kind of long, fluffy fur.  .  For those with long-haired cats, what types of brushes, combs, anything else would you reccomend for getting out knots and keeping kitty's fur looking its best?

    I filled out the adoption paperwork for a new kitty yesterday, and he comes home on Wednesday! (He needs some dental work before he's ready to come home). I'm SO excited to get him!! I took a bunch of pictures at the shelter and thought I'd share some with my fellow cat lovers! I've decided...

    Official names for the colors of my cats?

    Just curious, and sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I'm just wondering what the "official" way to describe the colors of my cats would be. Annie is a DSH. She's mostly gray stripes, but on her back she's got some light brown patches. And her chin and chest are white. Here you...

    Tastiest flavors of gravy-style wet food?

    I filled out the adoption paperwork yesterday for a new cat (a 6 year old gray persian boy- SUCH a sweetie), but he's quite underweight. The staff at the rescue center told me that his favorite food there has been the Fancy Feast gravy flavors. I'd like to work him up to something a little...

    At what age do you start rotating wet foods?

    I have a 5 month old kitten, Annie , who is currently eating Wellness kitten wet food. I've noticed that many TCS members seem to feed their cats a rotation of different high quality wet foods for reasons that make sense to me. At what age do you think I could do this for Annie and not upset...

    Ravenous kitten

    Hi, we just got our first kitten about two weeks ago. She wouldn't eat so we had to take her to the vet and start injecting food. But now, she can't get enough. She's about 19 weeks old and on the side of the can, it says up to 20 weeks feed as much as she'll eat. But she'll eat five cans a day...

    Change in kitten's behavior?

    I brought my kitten home from a shelter last Wednesday. When I brought her home she was very curious, playful and affectionate. A perfect kitten- took immediately to the litter box and her scratching posts and so loving, just purring non-stop! She was so outgoing and totally unafraid of...
