    Question For Those Who Own 2 Or More Cats

    I currently have a 2 year old male ragdoll, who is super gentle, sweet, and affectionate. I work from home, so while I am with him 24/7, I can't give him attention when I'm working (the typical cat lies on keyboard stuff hehe). I feel bad that he just has to sleep or hang out silently for a...

    My cat is bored of all the toys and doesn't like catnip, what do I do?

    I have a 1.5 year old ragdoll, and he's a very mellow, sensitive boy. Any toys with loud noises (hard balls, bells) scares him, so I bought an abundance of small poof balls, crinkle balls, wicker balls, bouncy balls, hair ties, crumbled paper, coin rolls, etc. and he is literally bored of ALL of...

    How does your cat(s) wake you up?

    After I stopped free feeding my cat, he's become my alarm clock in the morning so he gets his breakfast when he wants it lol. I thought this whole 'cat not letting you sleep' thing was a myth because he used to let me sleep until whenever I woke up to feed him, but now, at 7am he'll jump onto...

    Has anyone taken their cat on a road trip or brought your cat to visit friends?

    I know cats are territorial, cats hate change, cats don't like new places, and cats don't like cars.  However, we have to go to another city 4-5hrs away next weekend, and leaving him alone at home is not an option right now. We also live in a very rural area so none of my friends can cat sit...

    Has anyone tried different versions of the World's Best Cat Litter and can you describe the differen

    I am currently using the original green bag of WBCL, but I was curious what the other ones were like. The original WBCL tracks awful right now, and I was wondering if the red multiple cat one might be better since it claims to have tighter clumps or something like that. Does anyone have...

    Hi there! I'm switching my 12lb ragdoll kitten to an all wet diet after the vet found crystals in his urine :( I've fed him dry and gave a small can (the 3oz ones) spread through the week as a treat.

    7 month neutered male with struvite crystals

    My poor baby has crystals in his urine and I'm waiting to hear back on the vet about food and water options. I was reading up on how prescription food is super expensive and doesn't have the best ingredients, and I don't want him to be on that for life. I've been feeding him mostly Royal Canin...
