So, long story short, my boyfriend decided that he wanted to get me a puppy for my birthday. We decided a long time ago that we'd eventually get a dog. I was thinking we'd get an older dog first, but I'm not gonna say no to a puppy!  I'm starting to notice a theme   We've only had black and...

Hoping this is the right place to post this! My sister's boyfriend found a lost dog the other day. They're trying to track down his owners right now, but since they're not allowed to have dogs where they live they're looking for someone to take him temporarily. My boyfriend and I agreed that we...

'tis the season for a certain fluffy tuxedo to murder all of my little seedlings. I love plants. Target this time of year is full of seed packets and $3 grow kits, and it's great. Except for one thing. Ruby kills all of my seedlings. Every time, without fail. Whether I'm growing fresh herbs for...

So, Onyx is finally getting spayed tomorrow. When Ruby got spayed, they sent her home with pain meds that made her pretty loopy. I think those combined with a cone will be enough to keep Onyx from running and jumping all over the place while she heals, but it'll also make her more vulnerable to...

Nick was complaining about the smell of the litter box after Onyx used it, so I went to go cover her poop for her (she doesn't always do it herself), and I noticed that it was a very soft pile, very stinky. It's normally a fairly firm sort of little log, like all the kitty poop I've seen. She...

This might be a silly question, but I'm curious. Onyx is almost five months old, and not spayed yet (we're getting that done ASAP, and she's indoor-only). She's pretty chatty and affectionate normally, but the past few days she's been extra vocal, constantly crying at the door and around the...

Little Onyx is very vocal, and we noticed today that she's noisier when she hears people in the hallway of our building. I was planning on harness training both of the girls eventually (Ruby loves going outside), but I was planning on starting after the snow melted and now I'm thinking I should...

Hi, everyone! I've got another question about raw feeding.  I've been reading through some more threads, and I found the Frankenprey calculator from Catinfo.com (I'm leaning towards the Frankenprey method for when I do transition)...

This is one of my parents cats, Elijah. My favorite, if I'm being honest; he was my cuddle buddy for somewhere in the neighborhood of 11 years before I moved out. We know for sure that he's at least half Persian. His litter was born in the shelter we got him from. Mama was gorgeous. Silver...

I came home sick from work today, and as soon as I laid down Ruby was under the covers with me, curled up against my stomach and purring up a storm! She even started washing my hand when I went to pet her. :) Can your kitties tell when you're sick/take care of you? I know cats sometimes purr...

Ruby used to be a HUGE cuddler. Always wanted to be in my lap or Nick's. When we got Jasper, they both snuggled with both of us, but Ruby (who's what's been a bit of a daddy's girl) spent more time with Nick, and Jasper with me. Since we lost Jasper, Ruby's been acting a little odd. I can...

Hello, everyone! I've been doing lots of research on raw feeding, and I've made the decision to attempt transitioning Ruby. I'm not ready to take the plunge just yet (I want to be 100% certain I know what I'm doing, and I just bought a bag of her Nature's Variety kibble), but I've got a rough...

Warning: this is majorly pic-heavy. And very long. As you might've seen in my intro, I lost my kitten, Jasper, to FIP about a month ago (Dec. 3). It's been hard finding someone to talk to, because I really don't know many "cat-people" in my life. I feel like most people don't really get why I'm...

Hello! I've been lurking on this site for quite some time, and finally decided to join! :) I originally found you googling kitten nutrition when me and my guy adopted a very tiny kitten (runt of the litter, just half the size of his littermates!) and re-discovered you just last night when I...
