I remember a few days ago in a post that someone suggested with a link a harness/jacket/sleeve type thing for walking cats. I was wondering if anyone remembers or has that link.
There is a similar thread recently and someone suggested that you keep your vacuume just outside the bedroom and snake the power cord into your room and leave it unplugged next to an outlet. when the cat starts up plug it in for a sec to surprise the cat away and then unplug it. eventually...
Well mine would try to get at the scruff of each others' necks. The winner of each round would usually be the one who got around to getting to the back of the neck. As far as raking the back feet over the faces, I would suggest getting some kitty nail clippers and trim them. I find that it...
I find that my cat Buttons will eat petty much anything he can get a hold of that is mine. He used to be a constant violator of the kitchen table top and the counters where the dirty dishes were waiting to be washed. The funny thing is after a couple weeks of us attempting to dicourage this he...
Last winter my 6mo old loved to wrestle with my 1yr old and it was all just good clean fun. A few yelps and such but nothing serious at all. They're just playing. They will learn what is enough and they will also learn how to not get bit there again.
I too try to talk cat but I can't get a good hiss or growl down pat. I am awesome at meowing. I acctually have conversations with my landlord's outdoor cats. If I go ahead and meow when I'm heading out to go to work and I can't see her she come sout of hiding if she hears me and comes up...
My Buttons used to paw at the edge of his water bowl to make the water move rather than get himself wet by sticking his paw right in. This of course would result in the bowl ending up upside down or eventually empty with the floor being soaked. I got tired of them not having water because of...
Ha... we are always saying how gay(excuse the word choice if it offends) Buttons is because he will settle down and neatly cross his front paws while look at what you're doing.
Wow, I've never seen this... but then again my cats can't sleep with us because the fiancee will not get any sleep. Makes me wish she slept as deeply as I do because I let them in everytime she's not home for the night.
Charlie is so beautiful . I love his smokey grey color. Not to mention he's a shorthair( i know i know i play favorites). I didn't really do the whole introduction thing with my cats either. They were about 7(buttons) months and 11(simba) months. Simba was a skittish cat and buttons was...
So sad to hear. I do think your cat will need to work out the grieving but a new distraction wouldn't hurt too much. Might I make a little suggestion... Having been in the situation of bringing into my home an older cat from a home with a rather rough and tough 4 year old I would suggest that...
I know I'm no expert but my cats are only 6 months apart and when I brought the older home to the resident younger cat I didn't keep them seperated like veryone suggests. I let them sort themselves out. The younger(Buttons from now on) was curious and the new one(Simba) was solitary. Buttons...
It's not the end of the world if you close yourself off from your cat. They'll just love to see you when you come out. I hate having to put my cats in their own room at night but my fiancÃ169e a\\can't sleep with them on the bed and we can't leave them out at night due to the absolute mess we...
I personally have never whacked my cat's lower back but he does love to lean into the scratching as it gets closer to the tail. I have also found a sweet spot at the bottom of his ear that get's him going so much his back leg starts to go into scratching mode. If you have ever seen your cat...
Aww so cute. I can just picture the little one coming up and pawing at your face. Anyway, my cat loves to knead. In fact most of the time it either my stomach or my fiancÃ169e's chest or her face.
I'd like to think that my cats know thier names but they only respond to them when they're doing something bad. Like they're on the table and I say in a clear elevated, but not yelling, you know just louder as if to be heard across a room voice "Buttons" and he jumps down and runs over to the...
My buttons is super cuddly. He is BIG into the kneading thing. He was super playful as a kitten. He's 1.5 years old now... feels like a grown cat at 13.5 pounds, he's all lean muscle too. But when he was tiny I used to zip him up in my sweatshirt and he would be so happy snuggling on my belly...
You know, i have a super cuddly cat and my fiancÃ169e and I always stare into his eyes. Mostly like nose to nose stuff. He doesn't mind one bit. I wonder if it's because he recognizes us as the dominant creatures in the household.
PS: He also doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He has...
