On May 9th we got a new kitten. The kitten was vetted prior to coming and other than a few token fleas is a healthy little girl. The past week our 3 year old male cat has been acting mopey and not himself. He fussed with his ears a lot one day but they are clean/have no smell/he has no nasal or...
I checked on the cat's microchip registrations and found that somehow there was a mistake that made JC's revert to the rescue he came from. I called them and had it fixed. Please, if you have pets, get them chipped and make sure it stays updated. After the tornado we recently had I have seen...
On Monday night one of my cats vomited in front of the fire place. I cleaned it up, rinsed the area with water, than saturated it with biokleen BAC OUT and mopped it back up again. This is and has been our standard cleaning procedure with any 'nasty' mess.
On Wend I noticed a pee spot right on...
DH and I have noticed a couple of cats hanging around the dumpster in our small apartment complex the last few weeks. They give us both a start when we see then b/c the resemble the markings of our two cats and we always worry that it might be them. We want to start feeding them but are new to...
In early April we rescued a 7-year-old black male DSH. He has turned out to be a total cuddle and love bug. He will take all of the attention you are willing to give. Every other cat I have ever had in my life was not comfortable with more than short looks and glances when making eye contact. JC...
This is JC. He is 7 years old, gets along well with kids/other cats, and is a big cuddle bug. We got him from an organization that takes animals in danger of euthanization out of area shelters and places them in foster care. JC is older, has a 'cauliflower ear', crooked tail, and is black. This...
Last Saturday we adopted a seven year old black male (JC). We had him in the bathroom the first two days but he kept escaping and Pangur kept sneaking in whenever we would open the door so we gave up on the slow introduction. We were told JC was good with kids and other cats so we are hopeful...
We never, ever took a cat to be groomed growing up. Most of our cats were short hair, but we did have one with long/med hair. My mother took care of his brushing. Sometimes she would give him a bath if he got into something nasty (outdoor cat who slept in the garage) but I don't remember him...
Pretty much since the day we brought Pangur Ban home I have been on the 'hunt' for a cat tree. Growing up our cats never had them because my parents thought they were too big/ugly. I have seen a bunch pop on and off of Craig's List but my goodness people want a lot of money for a used piece of...
Pangur is declawed and I have heard that this can increase biting tendencies. He play bites a lot and gets pretty vicious if he is geared up. We can tell he isn't intentionally hurting us but still are covered with little bites where the skin was lightly broken. He will attack your leg and bite...
When we first brought Pangur home (Feb 14th) he had only been back at the pound a day and they didn't know what the couple that surrendered him had been feeding him.
We started him on Blue Buffalo Indoor Health in the blue bag and a variety of canned Blue Buffalo flavors. Pangur started to...
From what I understand walking cats on leashes isn't common, but isn't considered as crazy as it would have been ten years ago when my last cat passed. Pangur is such an agreeable and curious fellow I wonder if he would benefit from it. We are in an apartment and not on the 1st floor. He always...
Can you recommend any brands/sites that sell durable cat toys. In the past two weeks Pangur has 'killed' 1/3 of his toys. We bought a couple of the Kong ones and they are still in decent shape (so far).
Also, WHERE are the toys going? Over half of those left have just vanished! I can't decide...
We have a new cat in our family. It is the first in nearly 10 years so I am re-learning a lot of things. I have a couple of Himalayan salt lamps on the mantle that I have seen him lick a couple of times. Is this unsafe? Should I put them away?
Hello! My husband surprised me on Valentine's by paying the pet deposit for our home and telling me to go to the shelter to pick out a companion. My last cat died in 2004 after a sudden onset of illness. It was a huge shock and blow as she was only 10 and I was sure we had many years left...
