    I have no advice but just had to tell you that I love that name, "Orange Dude."

    home alone?

    In regards to Louis in the last post, I meant to say, 4 months, not 6 months.

    home alone?

    I am currently, (for a week) cat sitting for a woman with two adult cats. I go in once a day and do what needs to be done....litter, food, company... I see no problem with leaving adult cats as long as someone comes in to do those necessary things. I have no problem leaving my cats under these...

    Getting up early

    That is SO normal. Marcellus used to wake me up at that time but now, all 3 of my kitties wait patiently until I get up. As soon as my feet hit the floor though they know it's time to eat and get on with the day. As long as you don't reward their early rising...playing, eating immediately...

    What did your cats think of the fireworks? (light-hearted)

    They didn't seem to care one iota. Life went on as usual.

    Scrubbing the kitchen floor... what do I use?

    Any health food store, co-op type of place such as Whole Foods has earth friendly cleaning supplies, most of which are pretty mild, often non toxic. They are a little more expensive but not that much. They are mild, smell nice and I think they work well. I would look there. I buy quite a few...

    Do you use Firefox browser?

    We've use it for about 2 months and we love it. Wish we would have known about it a long time ago.

    An idea for keeping kitties cool (all the time!)

    What a great idea! I may just go out an buy one. I know Lewis sleeps on the bathroom floor during the hottest days and will often "snuggle" with the cool toilet.

    Kittens and collars?

    I'm for collars and bells, just in case they get out, which they have, even though they are indoor kitties. I'm for bells because I can hear them. You can certainly try when they are tiny, it may be fine but I did wait abit because I found the breakways were just a bit too big, even at the...

    Just How Hairy is Your House?

    With three cats and a very "Sheddy" dog my house gets very hairy. I'm not a perfect housekeeper but I do try.... It seems,no matter how hard I try (but not enough to drive myself crazy), there is ALWAYS HAIR!! It goes with the territory, I know, I know But it just seems I clean and...

    How is Petsmart with returns?

    I've never had a problem. We bought this outdoor fence thing a year ago, there was nothing wrong with it. We boxed it back up, brought the receipt. We just told them it wasn't going to work for our situation and they took it back, no problem. We also had some reptile products awhile back...

    summer haircut for hot kitties

    Well I see, there is still no consenus.... I guess for now, I will leave him be. Although he is is a sleepier kitty and seeks the coolness where he can find it, I don't think he's in any danger. He isn't panting and certainly doesn't appear distressed. Nothing wrong with a sleepy kitty...

    Cat spankings???

    Wallace loves his "spankings." My other two do not. Marcellus will bite you if you pet him by his tail. He's quite particular....no baggy belly rubs either, that means war. Lewis loves petting but gently. Wallace likes his butt pats hard and rough. He falls to his side, stretches and...

    summer haircut for hot kitties

    Thanks everyone! I'll check out a groomer that focuses more on cats. I think Lewis will be fine too. He such a sweet and mellow cat, not much phases him. He's young too so it seems if I am going to do this during the summer months, now would be the time to begin.

    summer haircut for hot kitties

    We don't have AC. We have fans of course, and most days it's fine, but we do get some mighty hot, 90 plus and very humid days periodically and it does get quite hot in the house. It was 96 the other day, humid and it was HOT in my house. Lewis managed ok, slept on the bathroom tile, belly...

    summer haircut for hot kitties

    He is a totally an indoor kitty. He is so mellow too. He lies on his back purring when I clip his nails if that tells you anything.

    Elastic collars vs. breakaway collars

    I totally hear you as we had the same issue awhile back ago. I've used both and I have decided that the breakaway is better and safer. Wallace has "taken off" his breakaway when he was younger but he seems to more content with it now....maybe time will help? I gave up quite quickly on the...

    Review: Zoom Groom

    I have a Zoom Groom for my cats and one for my dog. I love them and so do they. I do find, as was stated in this review, that it's best for loosening the hair and I use a different brush and comb to brush the hair off. It picks up the dog hair much better, probably the type of hair it is...

    summer haircut for hot kitties

    I'm a bit confused about giving long haired cats a summer haircut. I can't seem to find a consenus. I know it's been addressed somewhat on this site. It seems fairly common to give long haired cats a summer cut/shave and from what I see on this site, it sounds like a great thing for them, to...
