Definitely want to learn more. I grew up too poor for new things so I tinkered with things to help them work longer (eg., adapter cord loose? Try wrapping it around a block and tying it in place!) I bought a house with my partner 3 and half years ago and so I am continually learning to blend my...

She likes to sleep either on me while I'm at my desk or on the desk. Usually when she does I;'ll stroke her periodically with one from our menagerie of grooming brushes. When she had particularly bad knots I would gently hack away at them with my craft scissors until she moved and removing one...

Caught in a combine harvester, haha, yes that's the look Sansa has too! I wonder if you bought the wrong Furminator though, they make ones for long coats which have a longer blade. 

If they get a bath and daily look over then yes it will appear not to mat as quickly but most people don't have show cats and don't bathe them frequently, if at all. Even a daily session with my cat proves trouble and since I am aiming for positive experiences I cannot simply bathe her. Those...

Agree with the Furminator not being a dematter, it can pull the skin and really injure cats.  I have to disagree a little with your clean coat vs dirty coat though. Some cats have such thick fur in areas that it can be a challenge to get all the way through. I speak of my cat, Sansa, she HATES...

Cute pictures everybody! I walk my cats too. When we found Oliver he was an outdoor cat so,naturally, he pushed to go out again. I bought him a harness and leash and there was no training involved, he just took right to it! When we found, and decided to keep, Sansa there was no way she was...

I wondered about this myself, Sansa HATES being groomed and her fur mats so easily. We tried slickers, furminators, flea combs, dematter combs oh my goodness, we ended up buying an electric fur clipper! Because after spending months doing bit by bit brushing (I mean, one or two strokes while she...

Thanks to both of you for your input. I did a lot of researching in trying to find a proactive, humane vet (one that doesn't perform declawing) and this is the one I found. I will be honest, I don't like her pushiness on the vet foods- I do like the reduced rate on dental cleanings though and I...

I agree with you and while we haven't actually tried gizzards yet (yuck!) we do know that Sansa is not interested in raw chicken when my partner prepares it. Oliver goes bananas for it but Sansa sniffs it and walks away. Thanks though! Maybe it's a miracle waiting to happen. 

Great tip! Thanks, I'll be growing some when we finally find a house! 

Hey. So Sansa was due for her dental checkup yesterday and the vet concluded that there is still gingivitis on her teeth. Not as bad as last time but this is likely going to be a lifelong thing- the clinic now offers a dental program in which yearly cleanings are reduced to 200$ *as long as*...

Cute cat! Where do you grow catnip where she doesn't get to it first?
