How do you stop it?! I'm going nuts. I have eight cats, and the litter tracks everywhere. EVERYWHERE. It's really keeping my house from being clean, and it's driving me insane. I have to do a thorough cleaning every few days just to keep the place barely presentable. Also, best odor-absorbing...

I know a very, very sweet lady in southern Massachusetts who has been caring dutifully for a feral colony for about five years. Over the years, she has TNR'd and reduced the number to under 10. She is now going to have to move (I could call her landlady a number of terrible things, but I'll...

I'm thinking of adopting some guinea pigs. Anyone have any particular experience with that? I mean, I plan on securing the cage just in case, of course, but I dunno, I'm new to guinea pigs, so... any additional advice? Things I might not think of, but should?

I know this is a long shot, but thought I'd see if anyone has any recommendations for VERY pet-friendly places in Columbus, OH? I am looking to rent, and I have a small dog and five kitties. I know the independently-owned places are generally the way to go, but anyone have any specific leads...

If it's not one thing, it's another with our fur families, isn't it? So my kitty Noelle has REALLY been sneezing a lot. The thing is, though, she's always had a bit of a runny nose, since I adopted her back in March. Like this is not new, just maybe a little more intense. In March or April, she...

After talking with other vegans, I thought I'd make a thread for us to socialize! Please feel free to hop in and introduce yourself!

There will never be another kitty like Henry. I'm amazed that I even got to have him in my life. It started back in August of this year. I have a friend who works with ferals, and constantly reposts images of kitties that urgently need homes - often those residing in kill shelters. It wore me...

I know we all have our own cats here, and the response may not be overwhelming, but I'm sure you also understand that I feel obligated to try every avenue possible. Thus, I'm going to post Henry's gofundme page. He really needs a feeding tube to recover from hepatic lipidosis, and then follow-up...

So I apparently put the end piece, the one you screw on, wrong. It's stuck now. How do I get it unscrewed?! I've been trying on and off for hours. I put it down and come back and try again and it's still stuck.

I am so upset right now. Henry, my eleven-year-old kitty, has been acting off the last week or so. I normally feed a raw chicken diet, following Dr. Pierson's recipe. When I run out, I sometimes feed them some canned salmon or something of the kind (with as few ingredients as possible) until I...

I'm wondering if any of you know of any good stores that have sales on chicken thighs. I read someone in a thread was getting them BOGO at her local supermarket, and I thought, man, that sure would cut my costs! Obviously I'm looking for chains, unless any of you happen to live in western or...

I was discussing, the other day, the ethics of spaying and neutering cats and dogs. I know it's a given that we do this, and that we understand the overall net outcome to be a good thing. As a vegan, I'm concerned about granting as much autonomy to animals as possible, but at the same time, I...

I have a little mutt named Emma, who is about fifteen pounds. I adopted her back in April, and she's almost five years old, so training her out of certain behavioral issues has been a challenge. It's nothing too bad, but it does contribute to the following. Emma will eat anything if left...

Anyone have any info about the advantages and disadvantages of vaccines? It's taken as a default that we should get our cats vaccinated, but with the on-going debate about cancer and disease-causing agents in vaccines intended for humans, I'm wondering if some people feel that it's best to not...

I was petting Mia and giving her belly rubs. She's a very small, thin sort of cat. Not dangerously thin, just very lean. I call her Mia-Links, because she has a little lynx body, very sleek and lean. :) ANYWAY, I noticed that right along where her spay incision might be (I can't find the actual...

I have six cats, one of whom is eleven years old. He is also my most recently adopted. He came from people who had adopted him from a shelter. He's missing half of his teeth, and is also extremely overweight. I don't know much about his history, because they'd lost any adoption paperwork. I...

Hi there. I am making my first batch of raw kitty food, and I was following Dr. Pierson's recipe. I already threw all the ingredients together (meat, liver, vitamins, etc), and then I read... she bakes the meat first. Do I need to cook the meat at all? I thought they literally can eat it raw...

So my kitty Sophie is in love with rice milk. I buy it for myself and drink it, but I've noticed that every time I leave a cup out, I hear a lapping noise, and turn around to see her face in it. =P I used to let her have a bit of it as a kitten, before I realized that, durr, cats shouldn't...

So I came across this rescue with a huge problem. Best I can gather is that this person had been pulling cats from kill shelters in NYC and other places, who even knows. But he/she is moving now, and taking... zero cats. How awful! There were close to thirty! A Home Fur Now is looking for temp...

Once upon a time, not too long ago, I was in dire financial straits. Long story short, I wasn't really even in a position to care for my dog or cats. But I made it work, partly through temporary fosters (during times of homelessness), and pulled through. I had a stroke of luck and came into some...
