    My friend lost my cat (ETA: She's been found!)

    Moved out of state. Was told I could buy two seats on the plane to fly to cats. Buy tickets, cannot buy two seats. Ugh. I leave cat with a long time friend and will go back and get her within a few days. I call to check on cat, he informs me cat is no where to be found. Tells me she's gone. I'm...

    Just moved, kitten is starting to act crazy

    I've moved to another state and brought one cat with me, going back to bring the other two down (so they could be hand carried and in my sight and not shipped and out of my sight!) Tiger seemed to adjust quickly, as she's absolutely fearless, exploring the new house, getting into everything as...

    When do kittens stop growing?

    I receieved my Tiger-Wiger the first week of November and she was tiny enough both my small hands covered her. I could easily hold her in one hand. I was told she was near 10 to 12 weeks, making her a July/August/September kitty. On March 29, the vet said she was no where near 8 or 9 months...

    Why does Mitty knock her food and water bowl over?

    I have watched her take her paw and just, woosh, smack them over. LOL! The other cats do not do this. Is she saying she's not happy or is she just being a cat?

    How to help a cat that winces when you put your hand toward their heads

    My two oldest cats wince when anyone puts their hand out toward their heads. (These two babies came to me via a roommate who gave them to me when she up and moved out and she did not always treat them nicely, and it still shows.) Still, four months later, they still when anyone puts their hand...

    What to do when the cats get too hot and pant? PLEASE HELP!

    It's extremely hot here right now and the AC has quit. I'm getting another tomorrow but one of the cats was panting. I rubbed her down with a really wet wash cloth and then poured water down her shoulders. She let me, no problem. She seems fine now.  My question is was that OK? I read online no...

    Did I reinforce this behavior?

    I'm curious about my Mitty. After she has not seen me for a bit or sometimes after she wakes up, she will be almost frantic to be petted and loved up. She jumps up and arches, goes in circles and lays down, gets up and goes in circles again. She keeps moving. If I try to walk away or anything...

    Any way to coax a cat to eat wet food?

    Two of my cats seem to hate wet food. One take a few bites and walks away. One just sucks the juice out of it. LOL   Anyway to coax them to eat more wet and less dry?

    Peeing problem - HELP!

    My Tiger pees outside her box at random. She does it every week or so - it's not constant. She's perfectly healthy. She seems to do it at night. Yet she will still pee in her box 99% of the time. Why does she pee outside the box at these random times?  Short of cruelly caging her up at night...

    Any advice for a cat that claws you every time she jumps in your lap?

    My youngest is about 8 months old. I don't know why but she can't seem to do anything without using her claws. She is also the most terrible to scratch and claw at furniture, door facings, etc.  Every time she jumps into my lap, she uses her claws, to jump up and to jump out. When in my lap...

    Very excited I found my big cat a new home!

    I finally found my big cat a home! She seems pretty much a loner cat and has not adjusted at all to the house with other cats in the 6 months I've had her. She has a Jekyll/Hyde personality, purring when petted only to bite or snarl at you. She also was terrible to attack the other cats and...

    Any tips for helping cats overcome fear of the vacuum?

    My cats are absolutely terrified of the vacuum. One is even afraid of it while it is OFF!  I usually put them in another room while I vacuum, then switch rooms to vacuum that room. Seems kinda stupid but they are not afraid when I let them out as opposed to just vacuuming and letting them run...

    Anyone have a cat who likes to sleep on them?

    My friend insists they're being domineering and possessive by doing this but I think its cute. My kitten likes to sleep on my side or on my arm/shoulder. I sleep on my side and she has to cuddle up to me. She will actually try to pull my blankets off or paw me until I let her cuddle up to me...

    My cat is frustrating me to a point I want to find her a new home :(

    I was given Pretty by a friend's friend, who took her in as a stray. I've had her nearly 6 months now. I can tell she was not properly socialized as she just started learning to play a few months ago. She's also slowly gotten used to being petted. Still, sometimes she growls at me anyway. What...

    Funny names or nicknames for your cat... Or re-renames! :)

    Sorry if I put this in the wrong area! I guess this will be a Kitty cat chatter thread! LOL! I nicknamed my B&W cat Facey (Don't laugh) fuzzy wuzzy because well, she IS fuzzy wuzzy. My young tabby Tiger gets called fancy-pants because she walks like she hates for her feet to touch the ground...

    Why is my cat so thin?

    I've told you guys about my "big cat" before - she's the one obsessed with getting outside. :) My question is why is she so thin? She's rather hollow on her sides but the vet says she's healthy. She eats like a horse, plays lots and has lots of energy. She has dry food sat out all day and also...
