My kitten has advanced gingivits.  The vet has said that surgery might be necessary.  He was diagnosed with this seven days after I adopted him from a rescue shelter who assured me he was healthy and vet checked. They did not disclose his serious medical issues. (The shelter is saying he...

Minchin is seven months old, and a holy terror.  hehe  He's currently going through the phase of scratching everything in sight.  I'm finding it a real challenge to point him in the right direction.  I'm frustrated, because I can't use voice to help train.  I have big cat trees in the living...

I've been watching "My Cat From Hell" episodes, and the cat behaviorist on that show keeps talking about how creating vertical space for your cats can save a lot of dysfunctional cat relationships and create peace.  It seems that a lot of issues cats have revolve around territorial insecurity. ...

My poor cat Pi is scared of me after I tried to forcefully pill her a few times.  She hates being restrained. She scratched me to pieces, and I know the experience traumatized her.  (Me, too.  I have never restrained her because I know how scared she gets. I never pick her up.)  I personally...

I might sound like a bit of a noob here, but I just had my hand ripped apart by my cat Pi. I can't bend  one of my fingers now, and it's all swollen up.  I really don't want a repeat of this.  haha  Regardless, I'll go to the doctor's for that.  That's not my biggest worry. My issue is that I...

Making the decision was agonizing.  I felt like a murderer.  I took my beloved Ra to the vet's knowing that I wouldn't be bringing him home.  He got into the crate, trusting me.  He talked the entire way to the vet's.  I knew he would be stressed with all the sights and smells at the clinic.  I...

My new kitten Minchin is the most enthusiastic litter box cat I have ever met.  When he has a bowel movement, he goes into high gear, tossing litter left right and centre.  I have found litter sprayed into a shelf which is four feet above his box.  haha  At the end of his cover up attempts...

  Cat people know this is true.  We are merely guests in their space.  haha  (The strip is called Rhymes With Orange by Hilary Price.)

I had my beloved cat Ra put to sleep a month ago.  I really felt that my heart would break.  I cried non stop for a week, and I knew my friends were worried about me.  But we grieve as intensely and as long as we need to when saying goodbye to a furry companion.  Although the tears have stopped...

I adopted a deaf kitten who is almost five months old. I researched introducing kittens to resident cats, but can't seem to find much about deaf kittens.  He is full of beans and obsessed with my older Calico.  She wants nothing to do with him, and hisses when he comes too close.  He can't hear...

I'm sitting here with my two furry friends Pi and Minchin.  Pi is a 14 year old Calico female, and Minchin is a 5 month old whirling dervish, all black and full of beans.  Two months ago I had to put down my beloved cat Ra.  It was heartbreaking, but I know it was for the best.  He's no longer...
