    They eat so much when on high quality food

    None of them are overweight, they are all great weights. We use to do scheduled feeding and we had trouble keeping the weight on two of them. They are nibblers, always have been. So I'd rather not go back to that. They get wet food at certain times through the day, but the dry is always out and...

    They eat so much when on high quality food

    When we first got our cats they were eating friskies (or something like that). I left them on that food for a month before transitioning them over to different food. We tried Go!, Natural Balance, Blue and Natures Variety. They ate sooo much of it, probably more than the friskies. We were going...

    Crystals and peeing outside the box

    One of our cats was diagnosed with crystals 2 weeks ago. For a month he has been peeing outside of the litter box. We took him in right away but the vet didn't find anything wrong the first visit. The second visit (2 weeks ago) he was diagnosed with crystals (no infections) and given Urinary SO...

    Crystals in urine

    It''s actually cheaper than the food he was eating before. I just don't like the ingredients.

    Crystals in urine

    We took one of our cats to the vet today because he was peeing often and had blood in his urine. The vet said he had some crystals in his urine. He put him on antibiotics and special food. He says he will be on the food longterm. We had a cat with crystals before and he was only on special food...

    Peeing outside of the litter box (vet checked, healthy)

    I'll pick up some cleaner today. We moved his cat tree, and he hasn't used it much since we moved it. We moved it to the other side of the living room. That was maybe 3 weeks ago.

    Peeing outside of the litter box (vet checked, healthy)

    He still pees in the litter box, as well as outside of it. I'll try some calming spray, is there a preferred type/brand?  I have 3 litter boxes. 1 XXL one that they all pee in, 1 plain regular one that they all poop in and 1 covered on that they don't use too much. All of the litter boxes are...

    Peeing outside of the litter box (vet checked, healthy)

    We have a (almost) 2 year old male cat, named Kirk, who has been peeing outside of his litter boxes. We also have two other cats (2 years old, male & female). Everyone is spayed/neutered, not declawed.  A couple months ago Kirk got locked accidentally in the babies room and peed in the crib...

    Fighting over/guarding the cat tree

    We have 3 cats. A female (15 months) and two males (15 months and 16 months). They have been together since they were 8 and 12 weeks old and have always gotten along great. They are all spayed and neutered and we've never had any behavioural problems. Today our older male was on top of his cat...

    Is it bad to have two male kittens?

    I have 2 male and 1 female. My oldest male was born May 8 2013, the other male and female were born June 11, 2013. So they are close in age. We got the older male in early July 2013 and the other two late August. They were all neutered and spayed December 22 (6 and 7 months old). We have NEVER...

    How to stop chewing on baby toys?

    We are expecting a baby in just 5 weeks. We're moving this weekend into a new house and I've been setting up some of the baby toys so that we aren't taking as many boxes and things with us. Long story short, the cats LOVE the baby toys. They chew on them and bat at them. I expected them to be...

    Bought the wrong food, cats won't eat it

    I bought it at a smaller pet store and any food, opened or not. So that sucks. I know the SPCA won't take opened food, I tried before when I had left over food that I knew wouldn't be used before it expired. I guess I'll have to just give it a couple days and see if they eat it. They get wet...

    Bought the wrong food, cats won't eat it

    My 3 cats eat dry and canned. Their main portion is canned, but they have dry available 24/7 for snacking. I wasn't paying attention and grabbed the wrong dry food today (same brand my dogs get) and now they won't eat it. It's very similar, just a different style (Now instead of Go). Two of them...

    Keeping cats out of crib and other baby things

    Yeah I didn't think there was any other way. Putting the gate up is fine, it'll keep the dogs out too. Some companies do make a net that goes over the crib to prevent cats getting in, bugs and babies getting out, but they aren't safe or recommended. So I'll just have to do the gate.  They've...

    Keeping cats out of crib and other baby things

    We're expecting a baby in October and of course our cats aren't going anywhere. But we need to have a method of keeping them out of the crib and other baby things (open bins, swing, bouncer, etc.). We have three cats, two DLH and a DSH. They are 11 and 12 months old. They are great cats, but...

    Doesn't want attention before 8PM

    He will be 1 in May. We've had him since July. I guess he's just very schedule oriented!

    Stealing food from counters

    He is eating the Go Fit & Free Grain Free Chicken, Duck and Turkey. He gets various wet foods to go with that.

    Stealing food from counters

    One of our cats (TJ, maine coon) is a food hog. He is a bit chubby (on a diet now) and eats a lot compared to the others. When we are cooking he jumps onto the counters and takes or licks whatever we have. For example, yesterday I left the butter open and he was eating that. Today he was trying...

    Doesn't want attention before 8PM

    Our DSH cat has an odd behaviour. There is nothing wrong it, but it just seems odd. If we are upstairs, he stays downstairs and rarely comes up. If we are downstairs, he stays upstairs and rarely comes down. It's like he's very anti-social. But everyday between 7:50PM and 8:10PM he comes and...

    Wheezing, vets say he's fine

    Our Maine Coon wheezes a lot, while awake and snore heavily while sleeping. I'd say he's wheezing 50% of the time. You can hear him across the room. We've had him to three vets (including a feline only clinic that is supposed to be very good) and they all say his lungs sound fine. He is 9 months...
