About 5 years into owning my previously feral (now indoor only) cat, Astrid, and after a recent move to a new area, I finally got her to a vet that was willing to give her a real exam. Because she was feral, she hasn't tolerated much at previous vet visits and I've had vets actively discourage...

Hello all! I am looking for litter reccomendations, but I am extremely limited in the litters I can use. My fiance and I have very severe allergies. We had been happily using OkoCat softstep litter for a few years now, but with recent boxes we are having contact reactions to the litter dust. So...

Hi all, its been awhile since I've posted here but I figured that if anyone would be able to help me, it would be this community of cat lovers! I would really like to find a good option for a foraging feeder toy for my cat to hide dry food and treats in to get her more active and engaged when...

My cat Astrid is some kind of wizard at tracking litter. She gets it everywhere. She did it when she had clay litter and has continued to do it with wood litter. (We use Okocat Soft Step.) Litter mats I've used in the past, the rubbery plastic ones with the curly thread texture, haven't done...

Today I visited my local shelter that I very much love, to check in and play with my kitty friends there. This visit, though, I fell in love with a cat. You know how sometimes an animal comes into your life that you just click with? It was instant. There was a new cat that wasn't there last...

I'll be moving hopefully within the month, and when we have a little more space, I want to get my cat a bigger, better cat tree. Right now she has a very basic 3.5 - 4ft one that she likes, I'd like to get her a really cool one that's more like 6 - 8ft. However, in my shopping I'm finding that...

It's been awhile since I've posted regularly on here, but I wanted to give an update on my feral cat I took home. We've made great progress and I'm really excited about it. Astrid came home with me on January 4th, 2016. It's been a long socialization process - I didn't get to take her home on...

Sometime in May or June I will be making a big move, potentially all the way across the country (don't actually know where yet - hopefully I find out this month) and will need to bring my cat, Astrid, with me. She has been indoors with me for over a year (she came home January of last year), but...

My cat Astrid is the pickiest cat I have ever met - and she was feral!  She will only eat two flavors of one brand of wet food, one dry food, one freeze dried raw (dry only, not when rehydrated), and three kinds of treats.  Once she finds something she likes better than whatever I tried last...

One of my 9 year old family cats was diagnosed with early CKD at her last appt (she also had a UTI, but the vet thinks its more than that - we need to schedule her follow up, but she's going to be retested when we go again). I researched good food for kidney kitties and found two alternatives...

So my grandmother (my Oma - she's German) has three cats, the mother and two brothers of our two family cats. The are well into adulthood, and some would say senior, but not especially old - 9 or 10 years for the younger ones, not sure for the momma cat. Older, but not into the ancient...

(I wasn't sure where to post this, hopefully this is okay?) My local no kill cat shelter is PACKED. I visited yesterday and was shocked how many cats they have right now. They desperately need their numbers thinned out. I can't adopt or foster any cats right now, but I want to help somehow...

Almost a year ago I took home a feral cat from my work. We have made worlds of progress just in the past couple of months, but not much at all before that. (Currently she is comfortable with me in the room with her while she's out, and we're building up getting gradually closer.) So my cat...

So in January I brought home a feral cat, Astrid, from my workplace. My intention this entire time has been to give her all the time she needs to get used to being a house cat. But the situation has changed - I currently live at home and have been using my sister's old room as Astrid's safe...

Does anyone else have feral kitties that do funny things compared to regular housecats? Or is mine just a little odd? My cat Astrid was brought inside in January and we are still getting used to each other, so I see the evidence of things she's done more often than I see her. She likes to drag...

My new cat is making me jump through hoops with food. She is the first cat I've had that's just mine, so I've been doing lots of research on healthy diets so I can try to offer her the very best. She's also the first cat I've ever had that's been this difficult. The trouble is getting her to...

I was looking at high quality dry foods and I'm really liking the looks of I & Love & You's Chicken and Duck variety. Has anyone tried it? Were your cats fans of it? I really like the looks of it, but my cat is very picky. Would anyone be able to tell me the volume of a bag? I can't find that...

Since I've gotten more involved in reading about cats, here and elsewhere, I've been pleasantly surprised to find a few other people using the term "cat soul mate" - its a term I found myself using for my cat Sally. Its pretty cool to know that others out there have experienced the same thing -...

When I first brought home my feral kitty, I thought it was kind of cool that she had been ear tipped and would always have the mark of being a feral. Like a badge of honor or something. But I've since realized that her tipped ear could mean trouble if she gets out. Why would anyone look at an...

I wasn't sure where to post this, I hope this is alright. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of products that suit the needs of "bush dweller" cats. Jackson Galaxy breaks cats up into different categories based on where they like to spend their time, which is where I got the...
