    Is Hex protecting my son?

    Hex is our Siamese cross. She adopted us when she was 2 and she is now 5. Our son is 15 months old and Hex has always acted strange when he cries. Today it happened for the first time in a couple months and it got me thinking that I should ask you guys what you think is going on. My son was...

    Thin topline with fat belly?

    Lately, it seems Bill's been getting somewhat bony around his shoulders, spine and hips. He has very long hair, so it's difficult to tell exactly what he looks like under there, but when we adopted him back in March, he had a lion cut and was somewhat bony then too. It almost seems like he is...

    Average cost for teeth cleaning?

    I'm taking Bill in to my vet on Thursday to have his teeth cleaned. The vet told me b/c he is young and healthy, he wouldn't need the pre-op blood work? Is that common to skip this? He quoted me $85 for the cleaning, which includes the anesthesia charge. This sounds sort of low to me (geez, who...

    Gingivitis and diet

    I want to first start off by saying I love you guys and I don't know what I would do w/o you all! When we adopted Reggie a couple months ago, my vet told me that he had signs of gingivitis and would benefit from an oral cleaning. I said I would do it soon and for the past month I have been...

    "Carageenan protects against kitty colds"

    Wow. Just wow. I'm on the quest to find budget friendly canned food w/o carrageenan and I came across this... They list carrageenan as a substance that protects again kitty colds. I thought it was considered carcinogenic?

    EXTREMELY discouraged...

    Up until three weeks ago, I had always fed my kitties grain free kibble-TOTW to be exact. ZERO problems with it. After joining this forum and reading more into canned diets, I decided to switch my cats to canned food. I went with Authority (petsmart brand) as that was the best we could afford...

    Multiple avatar pics? How to?

    Silly question, how do I get multiple photos on my avatar? You know, how it does a little slideshow? I have three kitties and they all want to have their pics up ;-)

    Do cats hold grudges?

    My husband, son and I just got back from a two day trip. We had our neighbor look over our three cats while we were gone. This happens at least three times a year. The problem is, every time we have returned, my Siamese cross female kitty (who has been with us the longest), seems distant...

    lightbulb moment!

    I was just checking out Wag.com, b/c I have a coupon and realized I can feed EVO canned for just a little more than I am paying for Authority canned. If I buy it in the 13oz cans it is actually surprisingly inexpensive. Now, obviously, EVO has a good rep, but is their canned food really that...

    Cat's Pride recycled paper litter?

    I did a forum search and the results that came up for Cat's Pride litter was only for the light and fresh regular formula (or are all the CP litters paper?) I was at Safeway cruising the pet isle for anything I DON'T need and saw the CP 100% recycled paper litter. The reason this litter stood...

    Catnip=Howling?

    The last two nights, Reggie has started having these howling fits around 2-3 a.m. Thank GOD he hasn't been waking our toddler up. But, he has been waking up myself and my husband. He goes on and on for 15 or so minutes!! Finally, last night, I got so annoyed that I got out of bed to see what he...

    Could she be depressed?

    I think my cat may be depressed :-( I adopted Hex 3 years ago, when she was 2. She is a Siamese cross and acts like your typical Siamese. Friendly, outgoing, silly, talkative, playful, etc. At the time, I was a singe gal and it was just her and I in a studio apartment. She was SO HAPPY. Fast...

    Suggestions for grain-free weight management-dry kibble

    Ugh. I switched my kitties from Innova EVO to TOTW a few months back, as we had adopted our third cat and hubby was trying to save a little money...he is the only one working right now. Since the switch, I have noticed two of the cats are getting chunky. I have always fed less than the bag...

    Drooling?

    I have two male DLH (we think part maine coon) cats that drool when they are happy (or so we think). I have been reading some articles that say  drooling can be a sign of an illness. They are both perfectly healthy and only seem to do it when I offer them attention. Should I be concerned?

    I've heard of clumsy cats...but this??

    We adopted "Bill Kitten" about 8 months ago from our local Humane Society. He is a 5-ish year old MC cross/DLH (we are just assuming MC cross, b/c he has lot of the behavioral/physical traits of a MC). After getting him home, we noticed how absurdly clumsy he is. If he stands on his hind legs to...

    Adding two new cats at once - terrible idea?

    Hi everyone! I am new to the site and have a very important question-I hope I posted this in the right place. I currently have two cats, there is Hex, who is my Siamese cross (5yo-female) and is definitely what I would consider an alpha cat. She is basically my child. Then, I have Bill Kitten...

    Average canned food vs Premium dry food

    My adult siamese cross, Hex, has been on Blue Buffalo Wilderness(grain free) for years and has done great on it...beautiful coat, no health issues, etc. I would measure out her food daily (1/2 cup) and sometimes she wouldn't even finish that in 24 hrs. She is a very active, playful girl. ...
