hi, all. my husband and I will be trying to start a family soon. I keep worrying about how our two cats will behave (or not)... they are two-year-old neutered males from the same litter, VERY active and VERY curious. I worry that they will jump inside the crib, poke inside it, etc. we live in...

has the kitty's urine been tested recently? crystals in the urine can make it painful to pee. the cat associates the litter box with pain and tries to pee somewhere more soothing. usually, it's the bathtub, but it could be the sink, too... good luck! I hope it's not crystals!

thanks, all! I can't wait until this medication is finished!

Hi, all. One of my kitties is on antibiotics that I need to administer with an oral syringe (not a dropper). He gets VERY squirmy, as I try to hold him and give him the medicine. Do any of you have any tips on the best way to keep a cat still while doing this? Thanks! -- Michele

Hello, everyone. I know this is a bit similiar to a post below, but different, as I've got two cats who keep each other entertained most of the time. My husband and I are going nuts. Our 1 1/2-year old cats are waking up really early now that it's spring. At 5 or 6 a.m., they start meowing and...

I've got dark floors. I'm looking for something to minimize the appearance of the scratches on the entire floor, especially in some areas that are particularly bad (like where they turn the corners).

Hi, all. I've got two very active kitties, who love chasing each other around. They've done quite a number on our hardwood floors! I love those floors and do not want to cover them up with carpet (although I do have some area rugs). I'm not in a position to refinish the floors right now (and I...

Hi, all. I wrote in a while ago, frustrated by one of my cats jumping on the kitchen counter when I wasn't in the kitchen to shoo him off. It was driving me crazy!!! Every time I left the kitchen, I could hear him jump up there. One of you recommended this product: http://www.ssscat.com/ And...

yes, the counters are always clean. I wipe them down like a madwoman. and, I never leave anything in the sink. (although, if I've just rinsed something for the dishwasher, it's a safe bet the cat will jump into the CLEAN sink when I leave the kitchen and lick the water.) I've tried the nubby...

Hi, all. I'm at my wit's end! I have two adorable cats from the same litter. They're about 1 1/2 years old. one of them is ALWAYS on the kitchen counters. I yell "NO" and he jumps off right away. It's gotten to the point that when he hears me coming I can hear him jump off the counter... I...

hi, again. the lump is above his right hind leg, where the vet gave him the rabies vaccine. she gave him another vaccine on the other side (distemper?), but there's no reaction there...

hello, all. I had my cat vaccinated about a week ago. last night, I noticed this peanut-sized growth in the approximate locaiton of the injection site. I began poking and squeezing it, to see if it hurt at all. it didn't. the cat isn't licking it or paying any attention to it. I just called...

our cats love watching football on TV. they're captivated by the players running across the screen and will actually swat at them! once, one of our cats was totally taken in by this cheesy movie on Lifetime. I think he sat there, about three feet in front of the TV, and watched the whole thing...

please get your kittens checked out by your vet, or at least call your vet about this. eating litter can be a sign of anemia or calicium imbalance and could be serious. the not-eating-food part worries me, because cats who do not feel well won't eat food but will eat litter (or lick concrete)...

(I posted this on the Health & Nutrition board, but I thought I'd post it here, too...) hi, all. I have two 8-month-old kittens who are still growing. One is FAT and one is thin. They are litter mates and play all day. The thin one eats until he's satisfied and walks away. They have their...

they're eating dry -- purina kitten chow.

hi, all. I have two 8-month-old kittens who are still growing. One is FAT and one is thin. They are litter mates and play all day. The thin one eats until he's satisfied and walks away. They have their own bowls. The other cat will eat his food AND finish off the thin cat's food. I can't...

my husband and I adopted two ACTIVE male kittens who will play with just about anything! We've had to change all of our trash cans to ones with lids, otherwise the kittens were pulling all sort of stuff out and playing with it. Q-tips. tissues. dental floss. ICK! last night, one of them was...

thanks for this post! I thought it was just my cat who farted! hahahaha! my husband and I adopted him and his brother about two months ago. they're five months old. we've started calling him "farty cat," "gassy cat" and "stinky cat." at first we thought he wasn't cleaning himself properly...

thanks for the warm thoughts, tulip2454 and CoolCat!
