We are very likely moving to a new (bigger) place within the next couple months. I'm not so worried about the actual moving process as we've had good luck with Feliway in the past. What I'm interested in is somewhat re-training our cats when we move. Currently the cats have free reign of our...

There's apparently a new litter from Tidy Cats called Tidy Cats Light. Has anyone seen this stuff in stores yet? It said on the website that it was to be released in September. Now that is gone and instead it has a place to enter your zip code and see where it can be purchased in your area. I...

I'm at a good place in my life where I feel like I have the time/energy to devote to switching my kitties to raw. I just ordered some stuff. Kind of randomly. I promise I won't just plop it onto a plate for my cats without doing the proper research, but at least now I'll have it in my...

Because of advice I received, online and in person, here and elsewhere, I decided not to get my kitties re-vaccinated after their initial rabies/distemper and all that. I'm still totally okay with this decision. But I was maybe a little naive, because I didn't think how this would affect me...

We adopted 2 kittens in August. They're about 5 months old now. About a month ago, I came home and noticed a small wound on Clarkson's face...like he had been scratched by one of the other cars. It was odd because none of our cats have ever fought. Sure, they play fight from time to time, but...

We adopted Leo and Clarkson in the beginning of August at 12 weeks. I guess that makes them over 5 months old now. Leo is our first ever sensitive-tummy kitty. When we first brought them home, he had the most trouble transitioning to the new wet food and was frequently throwing up. Now that he's...

We adopted 2 male littermates, Leo and Clarkson, about 6 weeks ago. The shelter had them listed as 13 weeks at that time. When we took them to the vet the next day, Leo weighed in at 3.8 pounds and Clarkson was 4.5. I thought that almost a pound difference was quite a lot at such a young age...

Just laid down to take a nap and found a wet spot...someone threw up WORMS on my bed!!! Groooosss! So I called the vet and I'm going to take them (the worms) in to see what kind they are and then we're just going to treat all 5 cats appropriately. But just wondering what your opinion is?!

Help! The hottest part of the summer is over (and boy was it hot!) and just *now* we are beginning to have problems with fruit flies! I guess they're fruit flies? The itty bitty ones that like to swarm around your trash can and everywhere else in your kitchen. We've never had a problem with them...

We got 2 (brother) kittens about 2 weeks ago. They're about 16 weeks now. One of our adult cats didn't like them so much at first, but the Feliway seemed to make a huuuge difference with that, and they now seem to fit in just fine. One of the kittens has been puking like crazy though. He didn't...

We just bought our first ever Feliway diffuser. We got 2 new kittens who are locked in the bathroom and River is all sorts of mad about it. She even growled at the blanket with their scent on it!!! So a couple things... 1) How long does it take this thing to kick in? The box said all sorts of...

We just got 2 kittens and my super sweet 1 year old male Miles is scared to death of them! If he even catches a glimpse of one, he goes running the other way. As soon as they're safely shut in the bathroom, he comes right back out and is purring and playing with me. So he's not mad that we have...

When is it okay and at what point do you break them up? When you get a new cat, is it necessary for there to be some fighting in order to establish pecking order in the house?

Welllll...we did it. I just put in an application at the shelter to adopt the 2 "bonded brothers" we had been looking at. They're something like 12 weeks old. Anyhow, I just realized one of them has an extra toe on both front feet! I asked the shelter worker which one was which and she said she...

Does his belly look extreme to you? We're going back to the vet tomorrow because he still can't breathe properly and he constantly sneezes and snots all over my house (lol ewwww). And I plan to ask them what they think about his weight. He was previously 11.4 pounds when we were there about a...

Hubby and I saw (and he fell in love with) 2 kittens at the shelter the other night. On their sheet it says they're 3.5 months old and are a "bonded pair" and as such, they must be adopted together. This isn't really a problem, I'm just more curious as to what the term "bonded pair" really...

One of my cats licks stuff. Just about everything really. I recently brought out an old fabric toy mouse that he never had much interest in before. He loves it now and will bat it around for awhile, but mostly he licks it. Like he's grooming it as if it's a kitten or something. It's not furry...

We were feeding our 3 cats Whiskas Purrfectly Fish pouches and then free feeding dry food. I decided to try to make a change to something a bit healthier and have been feeding them Fancy Feast Classics. I already knew they didn't like pate but I mushed it up real good and added water as was...

I read somewhere that a cat's fur goes through an adjustment period when the cat is brought inside after being an outside cat. I guess the theory was something about the cat wouldn't need such long/thick fur inside and so it would shed like crazy for awhile after being brought inside and that...

I'm trying to change to some healthier food options right now, and 2 of my 3 cats act like they want to "bury" this new food. They don't do it every time, but sometimes they scratch around the plate on the floor as if they were trying to bury it just like it's poop. Mike usually does it after...
