    Another newbie

    Hi there, I've been browsing this site for a while, and found some good advice here on a couple of occasions, so I thought I'd register and try to get some tips for our two kittens. They're both just under one year old, Pims is a male tabby and Tia a tortie. They're both real healthy and...

    Young cats "forgetting" to use litter box...

    Hi, I've searched around on the forum a bit and found a few similar threads, but nothing exactly describing my situation, hence the new post. Apologies if this has been answered somewhere else. (Also, this is a bit of an essay, but the situation is bothering me so I thought I'd give quite a...
