That is so cute!

My 11 1/2 month old female, Pepper, uses the litter box but does not cover urine. Poop is not completely covered but at least she makes an effort. Urine? Forget it!. Is this a hopeless situation since her mother's not around to teach her? We have an older cat in the house who covers...

What's the best position to hold a cat in for tooth brushing?

Thanks Katie.

Great, but where does one find bitter apple?

Bailey is making fringe on the end of our rugs part of her diet. We're discouraging her with squirts of water and loud "Nos!" Is this a sign of anything other than just misbehaving? Not a nutritional need or anything? Thanks. Carolyn

Not sure about the "pheneromes floating around." I've tried the gloves which is doesn't like, and I can use the Zoom Groom for a very short little while.

Bailey loved brushing for the year we've had her, but now she is turning on me if I brush her for more than a minute or so. I'm using the same brush. I try to read her mood so I stop brushing in time, but I'm not doing well. Of courwse the answer is to stop brushing her, but this time of year...

Does anyone have experience with Yesterday's News cat litter? I think it a newspaper product. Thanks.

My husband is on my case re my getting silicosis from the dust in the litter box. I also know the dust isn't good for the cats. I have used Scoop Away for 9 months since I got Bailey and the last two days I've tried to introduce Feline Pine into the mix and planned to gradually reduce the...

Bailey is about 2 1/2 yrs. old. She has very little interest in interacting with me or playing by herself. I've tried catnip bags, feathers, balls, string, you name it. Every once in a while I can get her to chase a little white stuffed mouse, but most of the time I throw it and she just sits...

Is it safe to give a cat (3 yrs.) raw ground turkey or beef as an adjunct to her diet of dry food?

Vet didn't see any fleas, nor do I. He cleaned her ears and didn't mention ear mites. I use ceramic food dish, and have no new furniture. Doesn't wear a collar. I suppose it's a food allergy which I will try to track down. Thanks for your help.

I feed her IAMS Hairball with a little moist food in the evening,can or pouch. Also I add just a very little bit of Meow Mix in her dry feed. It could be a food allergy so I'm going to cut some of the supplemental food. I've been giving IAMS since May and her skin was fine for several months...

Bailey has small, scabby, bumps around her neck and under her chin. I took her to the vet to be sure that they aren't ticks, and they aren't. He said they are from an allergy and gave her a shot for allergies (who knows what this could be since he didn't test for specific allergies). Then I...

I want to get my second cat from the shelter, so I'll have a wide variety to pick from. Bailey is a 3-yr. old Tabby - should I get another Tabby? I don't want a kitten, but I want a small young cat. Someone told me that black cats and gray cats are more docile - this sounds like an old wives...

I clicked on the link and was advised the URL is no longer available. How can I get Hissy's article?

What does one use on the nail if, heaven forbid, one trims the nail too close? I've heard styptic pencil (which I can't find anyway) but there was also something else. Cornstarch?

Does anyone have a solution for making a cat behave in the early morning so the whole house doesn't have to be awakened at 4 AM? It's not food, because she still has food in her dish from the night before. It seems like she just wants company, but really, at 4 AM?!

For all of you who gave suggestions on ridding feeding dishes of ants, thank you for your sage advice and help! Carolyn
