    Same brand, different flavors?

    I know it's important to switch food slowly to prevent any issues, but is that the case even between different flavors of the same brand? (Talking about grain free kibble) I'm paranoid about my kitties getting addicted to one specific food. I feed a combo of wet/dry and hope to move to raw once...

    Worms then fleas

    My kitties came home today from getting spayed/neutered yesterday. Hex was due today for a second dose of Drontal (I think) because he had roundworms. He had one 3 weeks ago and was supposed to take another one today. But the clinic said he had fleas and recommended Revolution. If I give him...

    Aquarium gravel litter box?

    So I was just thinking about different possibilities for litter set ups (and comparing costs of all the different types of litter), and I thought, hey...what if I had one of those sifting litter boxes and filled it with aquarium gravel? I could scoop/flush the poop, drain/rinse the pee daily. I...

    Litter woes: Petco refillable vs. Tidy Cats Pure Nature

    I have only tried two types of litter so far. (Not a lot, I know.) First we tried Tidy Cats Pure Nature. I loved it. Smells nice, light, eco-friendly, low dust. It tracks a bit, but nothing a quick run with a dust buster can't handle. Leeto did just fine with it. But Hex was having some...

    Rude!

    I have been emailing lots of places about acquiring offal this past week. And I started calling meat processors today to find a steady organ source. I called one that came recommended (and is fairly close) and I cannot believe how rude the guy was! I told him I wanted to buy all kinds of...

    Kitty Hex

    My boy, Hex, is about 17-18 weeks old. He is black with stray white hairs here and there (tiny chest and belly tufts). He also seems to have a poor quality smoke effect going on, exclusively on his chest, with some gray undercoat. Do a lot of black kitties have that? He also has ghost tabby...

    Peeing on couch

    I brought home our second kitten, Hex, a week ago. I screwed up on slow introductions. But Hex hid behind the couch for a couple of days, and he and first kitty (Leeto) are getting along just fine now. Buuuuut.... Hex keeps peeing on the couch! He peed twice on the cushions, and I cleaned it...

    Too soon?

    I went to pick up our second kitty yesterday and she ran away during the exchange. We searched and called until it got too dark, but no luck. My family is really sad about coming home empty handed. The lady we have been adopting from has a couple more kittens from the same litter (as our first...

    reuniting litter mates

    We got our kitten, L3370, a month ago. We thought we would just do one cat, until our landlord said he wouldn't charge us extra for "one or two cats". Suddenly, bringing home L3370's sister was an option! I'm picking Tesla (the sister) up today. But now I'm nervous about the reintroduction! I...

    Licks but won't eat

    My 16 week old kitten, Leeto, doesn't eat much. She prefers kibble, but I try to only give her canned and raw to discourage a kibble addiction. She is very picky with her canned (tried several brands and flavors). Usually she gives a few licks and then is done. A couple of weeks ago I have her...

    Felted wool cat cave

    Do any of you have one of those wet felted cat caves? I've seen lots of cute and awesome looking ones while browsing Pinterest and Etsy. What do you think of them? Beloved by your kitty(ies)? I have some wool roving and a bit of wet felting experience, so I think I'm going to try making one...

    How much wet food for kitten?

    I have been putting out a 3oz can of Fancy Feast original wet food (various flavors) in the morning for L3370, but she rarely even eats half of it by evening. She is 14 weeks old. I give her some dry food every now and then (which she eats happily), but I really want her to be on the wet food...

    Meet L3370

    Two weeks ago, my husband surprised me by bringing home a 12 week old calico. (A big surprise, because my husband generally doesn't like cats. But he is falling in love with this pretty kitty!) I named the kitty L3370 (Leeto). She is a lovable girl and even gets along fairly well with my young...
