    Frodo and his icky tail

    Frodo, God bless him, doesn't really like to groom himself. He's a big boy (big boned, not pudgy) so maybe it's a contortionist issue. His tail is just unreal. It's just so dirty and brown, pretty much the entire length of it. The skin is really oily. My husband tried brushing it the other...

    just how many is TOO many?

    The title sounds kinda menacing, but...okay. We are owned by three lovely kitties, Frodo, Samwise, and Buckaroo. Frodo and Sam are brothers and they were "here first", so to speak, and they're about 3 years old. About 6 months ago, we rescued a youngster, Buckaroo, and he's now about a little...

    Just what exactly is considered overweight?

    I took my two white cats in to the vet for their annual visit yesterday, and I wanted a second (and third and fourth...) opinion on something. Mind you, my boys are BIG, not FAT, and I believe there's a slight difference. Frodo weighs in at 16 lbs. and his brother Samwise tips the scales at...

    kittie manicures

    I was just wondering... How many of y'all clip your cats' claws? We've been doing it since we got them as kittens and they have no problem with it. Seems like every other cat owner I've said this to looks at me like I'm an alien!

    self-imposed diet?

    I have a silly food question -- I feed Frodo and Sam twice a day on a very regular schedule with Iams, and they have had no problems. They always scarf it all down. However, lately, for the last week, Frodo hasn't been finishing all his food. He's the big eater and that gives me pause...

    I'm new too!

    Hey y'all, Great to be on the board! My husband and I got our two kiddos through an ad in the paper stating that they were "The ugliest cats you'll ever see". Oh, my. That certainly wasn't true but they both have very distinguished chins. They're brothers, completely white (non-tactical...

    love of trashbags

    Hi, new here! I think I've read the answer before on this forum, but.. I have two kitties, brothers named Frodo and Samwise. Samwise has had a love affair with black trashbags for quite some time now. He just sits and licks it for hours. He stops for a second when I say something to him...
