    Sister cat hates brother after vet visit

    I have 2 - 5 yo cats, brother and sister. Bonded pair. Had them for 5 years. Desi, the boy, had dental surgery on Wednesday. Brought him home later in the day and Lucy has been growling at him every since. It's been 2 days now. I was out for a few hours today and when I came home they...

    Missing Hair Tip Of Tail

    The tip of my 3 yo Lucy's tail is missing fur. It's just on the very tip. She will chase her tail when she is on the bed doing her crazy thing (she loves the sheets and blankets) and stop to lick it for a moment but I have never seen her be obsessive with it. She is a very needy cat and likes to...

    Preparing Cats For My Vacation And Behavior Issues

    My two 3 y/o siblings do not like people other than me in the house. They immediately head under the bed if the doorbell rings and someone enters the house. I very rarely get company except for the housekeeper every two weeks. I am going to be going away on vacation this summer for 2 weeks and...

    A&h Clump And Seal Multi Cat

    Has anyone using this litter noticed a change? I have been using it exclusively since I got my cats almost 3 years ago. However, in the past few months it is very dusty and builds up in the bottom of the litter box so you have to scrape it off. It never had it do this before. I wrote to the...

    Injured Kitty

    My 2 year old female came over to my chair last night and slipped getting up (leather recliner with a blanket on it). Tried again and same thing happened. Noticed a little later she was limping with her right hind leg. Sore to touch. Growling at me. Took her to ER vet. No X-ray but vet thought...

    Scared of long absence

    I left my young cats for 8 days in December while I went on vacation.   My nephew looked in on them twice a day, feeding them and cleaning out litter box.  He never saw them the whole time.   They did great and were like we had never been away immediately upon our return home.   They are...

    Hand and paw holding

    My Lucy loves to lay on my lap while I am on the computer.  When I stroke her  little paws she then wraps them around my fingers and kneads them.  She will close her nails around my finger and keep them that way while I rub her feet.  Never had a cat do this.  She is 13 mo old.  Another weird...

    Taking a trip with mixed feelings

    We are leaving on an 8 day trip in 3 days and while I am looking forward to going on this vacation I am also nervous about leaving my 13 mo old kitties for the first time.  I am having someone come in twice a day to feed them and do litter duty.   He probably will never see them as they are...

    Cats are always hungry? Feeding enough?

    My two 13mo kitties seem to always to hungry, especially the male.  Neither are losing weight and seem to stay at the same weight which is 11 for the male and 9 for his sister.   I am feeding them 2 small cans of grain-free Nutro every day (one morning and one at night) plus I keep a small...

    Getting cats ready for our absence

    I will be away for 8 days in the beginning of December and need some advice on preparing my kitties for our 1st absence.  I will have someone (maybe a few people) care for them every day but no one will be staying in my home. My biggest problem is that they are only used to me and my husband...

    Think I created a monster!

    I just gave my kitties a furry mouse that I just purchased.  It has an opening in which I put a small amount of catnip.  I knew they would love it.  Well, my almost one year old male immediately claimed it as his own.  He is running around with it in his mouth and growling!  He will not let his...

    Going to vet for the first time tomorrow

    Am getting anxious. Taking my 2 juvies to the vet for the first time tomorrow. No problems, just a "get to know you" visit as I haven't used a vet in years. Their last vet visit was in the spring prior to my adopting them.   I don't think I am going to have any problem getting them into the...

    No rubbing?

    Neither of my two juvies are ankle rubbers.  I find this rather strange as all my other cats did it.  Anyone else with cats like this?  They don't even do it when I am in the kitchen getting their food ready.   I have had them since 6/1 and they still aren't completely bonded to me.  The male...

    1st Collars

    Well, I've gotten tired of trying to figure out of my babies from the other so I finally broke down and got them each a collar.   Just finished putting them on. Lucy was a piece of cake. Doesn't seem to bother her at all. Her brother is not so keen on it but not going too crazy either. Every...

    Meet Lucy and Desi

    I adopted these cute sibling kittles (yes, I affectionately call them little kittles not kitties) 6 weeks ago at the age of 7 months.  They are Lucy (on the left) and Desi.  Desi is about 1 lb bigger than his sister.  They are rescues and definitely bonded to each other.   ​They pretty much...
