We are finally buying a brand new house, and I am trying to think of ideas to keep the tracking of the cat litter down. I use large rubbermaid containers as litterbox's (Cali get's a little excited about digging in the cat litter and sends it flying), but when the cat's jump out of them they...
I was at the pet store today and the clerk told me that they had in some new cat food (I have a hard time finding flavors or brands they will all eat). It is called Tiki cat premium wild caught seafood (the flavor we tried was honolulu luau, Tuna on rice with crab surimi) and they all loved it...

I was just curious, at what age do a kittens eys start to change from the blue to the color they will become. I was looking back and found a picture taken of Sturgis when we first got him, we thought he was about 5 weeks old at the time (because of his size, but also know he had very poor...

I am not a big fan of clumping cat litters, but Spooky seems to be developing a liking for laundry. Right now I have my old cat liiter in the box's with some of the cat attract litter sprinkled on it. I have caught Spooky playing in the litterbox since I...
R-2 was our 23 year old clinic cat, that came to us after being hit by a car (when he was a kitten) and being left with us because his owners couldn't pay the bill. I went to feed him yesterday (we are closed on sunday's) and knew it was time when I saw him just laying in his bed, not trying to...
I had a client call me and tell me that they had five kittens from a feral in their neighborhood, would I be willing to foster them. I asked how big they were and she said they were still tiny, so I agreed. Well she brought them in a large metal dog crate in the back of a pickup truck (no...
I wasn't sure where would be a good place to put this, but I entered a picture of a previous foster kitten in a photo contest. Echo was found as a 12 week old kitten who was small for his size, his brother and sister were twice the size. After an exam by my vet, Echo was found to have a...
