    Moving and Aggression

    We have just recently moved and my male cat has decided that it is now his sole purpose in life to corner and attack my female. They've always gotten in little brawls here and there, but this is becoming downright worrisome. We have downsized considerably (3400 to 1600 sq ft), so I am wondering...

    So Excited Picked Out our New Cat at Shelter!

    I'm so excited to be bringing home our new cat this Saturday. Having our cat, Cat, spayed pregnant a week ago was the hardest thing ever. (We didn't know she was pregnant when she showed up outside our back door.) Since I couldn't save those lives, I was determined to save another one. It's a...

    Pregnant spaying

    Thank you for all of the support! It means a lot when I've frustratingly heard so many insensitive people say things like,"It's just a cat," or despicably, "I wouldn't care, it's a damn cat, euthanize them all." And, yes, somebody REALLY said that to me.

    Pregnant spaying

    I went through with the pregnant spay. It was difficult for me. I haven't slept well the last three nights. She never looked pregnant, the nipples gave it away, and now that she's been spayed you can see how very thin she is... She looks gaunt. After Cat recovers, we'll be adopting another cat...

    Pregnant spaying

    The stray I brought in turns out to be pregnant. Vet is adamant that the right thing to do is spaying, particularly because he's positive she couldn't be more than nine months old, if even. If I do this, I'm adopting a shelter cat to try and reconcile this with myself, if that could even be...

    Litter change frequency

    Ah thanks! I was thinking I'd have to spend 100 a month on litter for one little cat or be a dirty catkeeper! Just trying to do my best for her.

    New cat, eating too much?

    Judging by the body condition scale she is slightly underweight, thanks for that! I'll be sure to reign her in once she hits "ideal."

    First Cat/Found Cat

    No, we can't get concurrence throughout the family lol. My toddler offered "yellow" and I tried but I just can't do it! I love old Hollywood, but my suggestions, Greta Garbo, Elizabeth Taylor, and Jacqueline, have all been turned down by the husband lol.

    Litter change frequency

    Again, I come back with a very basic question, so sorry! So, I had NO idea how much cat litter it took just to fill a cat box! I have three floors and read to have a box per floor, so that's what I've gotten. I had one from when we thought we were just boarding the little kitty and already went...

    Choosing a Scratching Post

    Thanks for the homemade cat tree tip, I'll have to see how handy hubby can get! I got her both kinds of posts and she went right to them and has gone back multiple times which is good to see! I'd like to clip her nails, but I shouldn't just force it on her right? I mean she's new and she still...

    New cat, eating too much?

    OK so I shouldn't keep feeding her to her heart's content until her spine is can't be felt and her ribs shouldn't disappear. She may not be too thin then, just small. Vet is booked until late next week which sucks.

    New cat, eating too much?

    We've had her five days, she has put on a little weight, her spine is less noticeable when you pet her, how much should I let her have? I'll be bringing her into the vet this week as our predetermined time limit for someone to claim her is up.

    New cat, eating too much?

    Our new (and first) cat found us, not the other way around haha, so came to me a little thin. Not direly, but she felt a little boney. I also think she is either small or under a year old. Anyway, I've been tracking how much she eats - two cans and 2/3 cup dry. I've been feeding Blue Wilderness...

    First Cat/Found Cat

    She will definitely be an inside cat, do I still need flea treatment? Our dog goes outside but he's on Advantix, can he still bring fleas in and onto her? I'll be calling the vet tomorrow for her first appointment, I definitely want her spayed ASAP. I'm interested to find out how old she is...
