Hi I have a year and a half old Maine Coon boy Cat who is now almost 18 pounds and not done growing! I am looking for something that has large perches preferably 16 x 16 a relatively small foot print 2 ft by 2 ft would be nice (it is a second cat tree to go in a bedroom) and at least 5 and a...

We are in the process of introducing new boy kitten (16 weeks) to our two older girls (13 and 14).  The kitten has his room and the older girls have their own room.  So far we let them out alternately in the rest of the main house and they don't seem to mind the smells of each other (or at least...

Hi all,  Just brought home our new kitten on the 1st and he hasn't pooped yet-today is the 3rd.  I called the breeder and she was not too concerned thought he probably just isn't used to his new home yet.  He is eating fine, playful, friendly all that good stuff- just hasn't pooped yet.  Breeder...

Greetings all.  We are going to get a new boy kitten in about a month.  We have two adult spayed females (mother-daughter) who are 12 and 13.  I am planning to keep the new kitten in a separate room for a week/as long as needed.  I thought a cage might be a good way for kitten to be safe when we...

I have horses and feed them flax seed for the Omega 3 supposed to have anti inflammatory properties and promote shiny coat and strong hooves.  Flax seed is also highly touted for humans.  Anyone feed flax seed to cats?  If so how much?  

My six year old cat Mukluk was diagnosed with Chronic Renal Failure a little over two weeks ago. For the interested reader: Link to prior thread on Mukluk: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...ghlight=Mukluk Mukluk went back to the vet yesterday. We scheduled the appointment when...

The vet recommended that my cat be put on Hill's prescription diet k/d as she was just diagnosed with kidney problems (we don't have a definite diagnosis yet). See positive thoughts for Mukluk thread for the details. The vet charges $1.39 per 5.5 oz can for this food. Is this a good food...

Mukluk has not been feeling well and I took her to the vet today. Mukluk is six and has never been sick before. The vet said that one kidney was bigger than the other and it could be cancer or an infection. She was able to get a blood sample. She could not get a urine sample or give fluids...

I don't normally wash my indoor only cats however, I did go over them all with a commercial cat wipe which I think helped get rid of some loose fur and left them cleaner then they get otherwise. Anyway seems to me that using a wet wash cloth might do the trick for less money- and I'm sure this...

Thought this could be a fun thread. Mukluk likes to drink out of the toilet- or terlet as I prefer to call it! She puts her front feet in the bowl. I just took a picture of her with her front half all the way in and just her rear end sticking out. Too funny. Stinkerbelle has to sit in the...

I posted earlier about my cats who cannot resist scratching off the thin material that covers the bottom of box springs (under the bed)- they had already done this to the beds in the room they were staying in and two other beds were in danger. I just went to target and bought some cheap fitted...

Can anyone recommend a spray on product that would keep my cats off of some of the furniture (specifically needlepoint covered chairs). They have scratching posts but can't seem to resist the needlepoint. I am looking for some sort of spray rather than using aluminum foil, motion detectors...

Hi all, My three cats and I just relocated from my apartment to my parents house (will be here for a few months). I forgot that they like to remove the thin material that covers the bottom of the box-spring on beds. They did this to my bed at my apartment and I just removed the covering...

I bought a clever cat (top entry litter box) for my cats (I have two boxes for the three due to space limitations and that seems to work for them). I bought this because bf complained about litter on the floor (I sweep it up, but he notices the slightest amount of stray litter). At any rate- I...

I would like to put together a first aid kit for my cats. What should be included?

I did a search of this forum on essential oils and it looks like pure essential oil is bad for a cat to be in contact with (via skin, or inhalation). I have a book on natural cleaning products. Some of the recipes (for example, floor cleaner) call for essential oils to be added. For example...

I have three cats and two litter boxes (one box is standard sized the other is bigger than normal, 15" x 21"). I have heard that it is a good idea to have one more litter box than cats but when I had an extra one they didn't use it. At any rate I have been using precious cat (clumping clay...

I have three cats Essie (13 pounds), Mukluk (11 pounds), and Stinkerbelle (13 pounds). According to the vet Essie needs to lose 3.5 pounds, Stinkerbelle need to lose 3 pounds, and Mukluk needs to lose one pound. They used to be free fed Canin Royal Indoor but then the vet recommended Eukanuba...

Installed new feliway diffuser on May 16. There is still liquid in it. When should I put a refill in? Thanks for your help.

This is a follow up post to a prior post (note to Hissy, I assume it is OK to post a new thread because it has to do with dealing with aggression rather than the cause). At any rate I have three spayed, female cats. Essie, age 4, is the mother of Stinkerbelle and Mukluk (both 3 years old). I...
