I've always wondered how domestic longhaired cats keep their fur in decent shape if they're living in the wild? My DLH Beans requires daily grooming. She doesn't really try to keep herself clean like any DSH I've ever owned either. it's either she's lazy, or maybe just overwhelmed by her...

Sorry if it's a repost. I think this went online back in November. I love the kitten's voice!  

My girl Beans (pictured) has a very long double coat in the winter time. She's 1 1/2 yrs old and although it got long last winter, it wasn't as thick. Her winter coat is especially prone to tangles and matting. I brush her daily and this usually keeps her matt free. However I noticed a big...

I knew my cat Beans had shed A LOT in the past few months. I had to brush her every day for a while or I'd have furballs everywhere. I happened to look at some recent pictures today and I was tripping. Winter: Summer:

I took the plunge and bought a 50lb bag of chicken layer crumbles to use in my litter boxes. I bought non-medicated starter poultry crumbles. They are Dumor brand from Tractor Supply. I have read several articles online (and a few posts here) about how chicken crumble is very similar to World's...

This is quite odd... I rescued Beans (pictured) when she was 12 weeks old. I was drawn to her over others b/c of her temperament. She was very well socialized, and adjusted (aka bullet-proof). I wanted a well socialized kitten b/c my 1 year old cat Oksana is scared of her own shadow--always has...

My 7 month old kitten has been making a strange noise for the past couple of months. It's only when she is excited after I've just pulled out her favorite string toy. It's like a Chirp or a Trill, but to be honest I've looked up videos of what those cat sounds sound like and it's like niether. I...

Sorry if this is a little long but a lot of craziness has happened lately. My gorgeous, sedate little 5 1/2 month old kitten Beans has become quite the tyrant as of late. She's going through a particularly naughty phase. At least I hope it's a phase.  I'll post her other behaviors in another...

Poor Beans... Poor me for having to clean her and my house up... Beans may have a mild infection in her Spay incision. The vet said it really didn't look too bad, but he'd rather be safe than sorry. 10 days of ClindaCure was the Rx. I reminded my veterinarian that my other cat had gotten a...

FML! Why can't anything ever go smoothly? But I digress... So Beans was spayed yesterday, she's a 17 week old DLH. When she came home last night she was really aggressive acting from either the pain or the anesthesia. Poor baby, I felt so sorry for her. The vet said it was most likely the...

I'm curious if Beans will have her current eye color as an adult cat. I absolutely love her amber/gold colored eyes, and I hope that she will keep them. She is currently 15 weeks. Her eyes were green as a little kitten according the pictures her former owner took.

My kitten Beans is currently about 12-13 weeks old. She is in the "mini predator stage" in which she wants to bite everything that moves. She's all claws and teeth :rolleyes: I've heard different schools of thought w/ regards to kitten rearing and I wanted to ask what your opinions are. W/...

As some of you know, my 7 mo old kitten Leo passed recently. It was tough on me, but it was really tough on his sister. I rescued a 12 week old DLH the other day so Oksana wouldn't be so lonely. The issue is, I'm not sure it's a girl. I've not had a kitten this young since I was a little boy...

Hi Pam. Thank you so much for taking the time to help us here at TCS. We greatly appreciate it. My issue is with my 8 month old red color point shorthair named Leonidas. I adopted him at 5 months from a friend of mine who was going off to college. That being said he was rehomed to me and I was...

I have posted other threads about my male kittens raucous appetite. He's trained me to feed him at every whim, and I do:sly: He is usually like a garbage disposal and will eat pretty much anything. However, as of late he has started to get really finicky. I feed both of my cats Friskies. This...

Are Siamese cats more frequently sick than other cats? I ask b/c my little Meezer has his 2nd URI in the last month right now. It's frustrating.

I have a 6 month old kitten. He has always refused to clean his butt for some reason. I've only ever seen one other instance of this in the feline world, & that cat was too fat to reach his butt. That is not the case here, I have to clean Leonidas' butt for him with a baby wipe. He hates when...

This is good litter as far as it's ability to mask smell and it's clumping ability. It does however have a terrible amount of dust. I bought a box of FS Multi Cat and it does not clump near as well. It is however not dusty. I don't want my cats (or myself) breathing that dust. Has anyone else...

Lil' Leo (who's really not so little, he's just young) and Oksana in the middle of one of their grudge matches.

My kitten acts as if he's starving constantly. He's approximately 6 mo's. He's a flame point meezer and he acts out constantly b/c he either wants food or attention. He's a total sweetheart but he's driving me and my other cat nuts. I'm feeding him dry kitten food but I intend on switching him...
