I am curious to know how much people paid to have their cats tested for Toxoplasmosis (for those who have obviously have had this done). I know that the cost would most likely depend on one's country/region, but I thought knowing what other people paid in advance, it would give me a general...

I have two 10-month old kitties. One poops outside the box ever since I got him (he probably did it at the breeder's too because it did not feel like new behavior). I have been working on that issue but so far, no resolution. BUT this morning his sister who is normally perfect when it comes to...

I left my 2 kitties at a cat sitter's who is supposedly a cat behaviour psychologist/expert. I thought this would be beneficial for a number of reasons, including encouraging my 10-month old boy kitty to poop inside his litter box rather than on the floor next to it. I question her credentials...

I have two Ragdoll kitties (10 months). They are both healthy and get mostly a homemade raw diet which I supplement with vitamins and supplements such as virgin wild salmon oil. One naturally has very silky fur which has become even more silky with the raw diet. The other one naturally has fur...

I have two 9 month ragdoll kittens. Ever since I got him from the breeder last June, my Rodolfo has pooped right outside of the litterbox. I am STILL trying to figure out why, but it may (or not) have to do with his often slight constipation. He'll pee, then jump out of the litterbox, sniff...

I have read in several articles that raw food can easily contain this parasite which is linked to mental disease. As my kittens are generally house cats (that go for walks from time-to-time), they are generally protected from the Great Outdoors and exposure to toxoplasma gondii through wild...

I have two 9-month old ragdoll kitties that weigh a little over 10 lbs each. They have been eating mostly raw (I still need to entice them with a little cat food on top) for the past couple of months now. They are still eating 4 times per day though I would love to decrease this to 3 to make...

I have two 9 month old kittens who are now able to eat a diet of mostly homemade raw rabbit. Hurrah! I still have to add a little commercial food on top to entice them since raw food has little odor, but I am overall pretty pleased. I made some raw turkey and gave it to them as well. My female...

I have a sweet and very shy 8 month ragdoll kitten who pees like a horse and close to the litter. As a result, urine usually remains in his fur and he unfortunately doesn't clean himself there. I am not sure if it is because he is lazy, hasn't really thought about it or cannot reach (might be...

I have two ragdoll kittens who will be 10 months at Christmas time. I live alone with them in Switzerland, a country I moved to a couple of years ago and where I don't have many personal ties. This makes it difficult to go away, particularly at Christmas since I imagine many people will not be...

I am not sure if I can blame raw food, but I am wondering if it is worth it. I have been trying to get my two 7-month ragdoll kittens to eat homemade raw food for the past month. The first attempt was chicken. It seemed to go well, until the girl began throwing up about 10 days into it. She was...

I have two 7-month Ragdoll kittens - a girl and a boy. The girl is very curious, vocal and a bit feisty. Her brother is the complete opposite - relaxed, gentle and a bit lazy. Though the breeder never let them out, ever since they got to my house about 2 1/2 months ago, Mimi, has showed lots of...

My 2 ragdoll kittens (almost 7 months) are brother and sister. The brother almost ALWAYS poops right outside of one of the boxes and has done since I picked him up from the breeder. He does pee in the boxes, though. I have tried different litters, different boxes, different locations, different...

I have read many many times that one should feed a kitten as much as they want because they will never overeat and need the calories/nutrients to grow. I am currently feeding my two 6.5 month kittens 4-5 times per day, which I am starting to find challenging as I will be spending more time away...

I started my kitties on raw food recently (I grind up raw chicken and innards and add nutrients based on an online recipe), and while the boy is sort of resisting, his sister has taken to it quite easily. She has been eating it solidly for the past few days.  Early this morning she had vomited...

Hello. One of my kitty's is a bigger kitten and looks to be a big cat. When he uses the litter boxes (I have different ones but this tends to happen in all of them), his feet tend to slide which makes him pee right on top of the litter and therefore lots of litter gets stuck to his fur. Has...

I have two 6 month Ragdoll kitten. The girl was only pet/breeder quality but her brother is supposed to be show quality because he has perfect markings. However, he also seems to be pigeon-toed in his back feet, while his front paws turn out slightly. I have read that this is undesireable in...

I have two 6-month old Ragdoll kittens which I have had for about 6 weeks. The girl has always shown great interest in going outside. Her brother, not so much. She has tried to escape a number of times and is a very keen explorer, and a hyper and curious cat. I thought it could be interesting...

I have two 6-month Ragdoll kittens. The breeder told me to get a fountain as that is what they are used to. I even got a ceramic one unlike the plastic one that she uses. She said all her cats love the fountain...yet, one of my kitties NEVER drinks water or least I have never seen him. His...

Even before I got my kitties, I wanted to have them eat raw food. I wanted to introduce them to it once they settled a little into my place. Now 7 weeks later, I thought it would be a good time. I made my own using a recommended recipe from a reputable site - with chicken pieces, liver, heart...
