Hi! I've had my rambunctious sweet boy Oscar for 7 years now! And he's never met a stranger. He loves showing off for all animal and people visitors and is a self declared house greeter.... except when it comes to my boyfriend's three year old. He's never been around young children before and he...
Hi there,
So I have been using TSC equine pine pellet bedding for cat litter because it's soo cheap and is the same thing as equisicat pellet litter only less than half the price. I've been thinking of switching back to tidy cats/clay litter even though it's more expensive and less eco...
I was helping transport an abandoned or lost siamese to a cat rescue over the weekend. It was in my bathroom just a few hours with its own litter box and food bowl. Later that night when I took it to the foster home drop off, I came home and my bathroom door must not have been latched completely...
I have two dogs and two cats. If one dog tries to hog the treats/food, I can tell him to "sit" and "wait" so the less forward dog can get his share.
My female cat is the youngest of the bunch, and she is like a tiny land shark who steals food not only from the other cat, but will lay by the...
Show me your cats getting caught in the act being bad! I had been blaming the dogs for months about the tipped trash can, when yesterday this happened...Bad cats!
My 3 year old male cat has always ran super lean, so I've always had him on kitten food. But I got my second female cat last summer and once she hit a year, her triple chins and absent elbows determined that she no longer needed kitten food.
Male is active and rarely eats.
Female only moves to...
I am geeking out right now. I cat sat for a friend over the weekend and she uses pine pellets, as do I, for cat litter.
(If you don't use pine pellets, there are many benefits including: 1. eco friendly, unlike clay, 2. saving plastic unlike clay buckets or handled containers *cough tidycats...
Is your cat a destructive nightmare from the abyss? Does he climb curtains to the ceiling like some creature from the Exorcist and make you question what sorcery convinced you that adopting this tiny fluffy terrorist was a good idea? Do your friends call him things like "Chaos Kitty", "Lamp...
My 11month old kitten Sally has been battling an inner ear infection for the past month. She is finally on her last round of meds, and is mostly back to normal. She has a slight head tilt that may just be permanent damage, but overall doing MUCH better.
I have to feed my cats on top of the...
I have a pretty sick kitty who, from splashes of meds that have missed their mark, is getting a bit sticky! I noticed today a small mat under her chin (she is medium haired) that I cut out with scissors, but want to clean her and also work out the matted hair closer to the skin that couldn't be...
My poor kitten Sally is being treated for an inner ear infection. It's pretty scary- she can't walk normally due to her balance being affected by the infection. She is very wobbly and topples over easily, also her left eye (same side of body as infected ear) is all squinted/rolled up in the back...
Hi there-
Oscar (3) and Sally (8months) are normally attached at the hip. But I went on vacation for a week, took the dogs with me and had to send the cats to separate sitters and since they've both come home (3 days ago) they are fighting like crazy and one of them keeps peeing on my...
Hi! So I have Oscar (big fluff) and Sally (little fluff). Sally arrived in early October. She is wily, sassy and doesn't take crap from the dogs. She's tough stuff! Oscar wrote the book on curiosity killed the cat, so naturally, they are besties. The thing is, pre-Sally, Oscar was the most...
I have a question for y'all. This could be a completely unfounded observation, but I figured here would be the place to get set straight if I'm wrong!
Do kitten coats go through phases? What I mean is this: 3 years ago, I adopted one moderately fluffy kitten. He thinned out to be almost short...
Hi there,
I work as a dog trainer and have one of my two dogs CGC certified and working as a therapy dog with special needs children once a week and in a paws for reading program at the library once a month. He absolutely eats it up loving all the attention. (my other is too grumpy for that...
I am literally in the middle of registering for my (and Oscar's!) very first cat show in about a month. It's not a big deal, but I want his form to be as accurate as possible and well, for coat length options there is only DLH and DSH and Oscar is very much an "in betweener" medium coat. Does...
Okay, so yes I am going into this with my adult cat, but it can still be fun, right?? I am attending my first show as a spectator next month at a CFA show and just registered my 2 year old HHP with ACFA's show in August. As a first time shower, how can I prep my cat for the judging? Nails...
Kind of dark but when I was getting ready for class the morning the kids just didn't want to get out of bed. Tried to take Dexter (the dog) out to the bathroom and it just wasn't happening! Oscar (the cat) is never far behind from Dexter- they are inseparable and sleep like this a lot haha I...
