Got a new toy for the cats... Hades is scared of it still, but Hecate is attacking it.

Okay, since being fixed, both the kitty-kids have started eating a lot more, and are both getting a little chubby. I wish I remembered Hades' weight when he was fixed... anyhow... so, I'm switching from just filling the bowls when the cats can see the bottom to scheduled, measured feedings. A...

I'm looking for suggestions on how I can help Hecate out. She's flaky... and it's a recent development. I read online that fish oil supplements could help, but she's always had bad reactions to varying degrees with fish products, from sneezing to wheezing, and that can't be ignored... What can I...

Yes, we finally got the cats fixed. They're both done... but now I have a quandary... Hecate wigged out immediately upon getting out of the carrier until she took off the cone... and putting it back on only made things worse... so I took a long sleeved tee shirt and cut off a sleeve and made her...

I just picked up a new Dollar Tree wand for Hecate and Hades. Both of them love it, (wands being their favorite), but Hades doesn't want to let Hecate play. She's the smaller of the two and Hades likes to throw his weight around. Should I get a second wand so they can both play?

I'm in southern Arizona and we must have had a recent hatching of lizards because two have been found in my bathroom. First one, I found. Second one, Hades ate. He's so proud of himself, but I can't help but be a bit worried. The lizards are everywhere and I'll wager the outdoor kitties eat them...

So I had to rearrange some things and decided to put my bundle of unburnt white sage on my entertainment center. But Hecate keeps trying to steal and, I assume from the damp baggie, eat it. Anyone ever had this happen? Should I be worried? She hasn't gotten into it... Yet. I keep taking it away...

So, our little escape artist needs a harness because I've come to the conclusion she's ready to go outside for short walks... If she ever decides to behave on a lead. This is what I've come up with for a pattern. She seems to be comfortable walking in it. This blank is simply made out of a...

Hades is the only cat I know that does this. If his daily nap is interrupted for any reason, he must have snuggling right now. He doesn't take no for an answer. Does anyone else have a cat that does this?

So, since Hades likes putting his pom poms in any available box and batting them around, I've been figuring that head love one of this ball puzzle toys. So I got him one. He loves it! But it came with a ball that is motion activated... and chirps like a bird... It comes out, but the kitty-kids...

Okay, so other than being a domestic short hair, anyone have any clues to Hades' possible lineage? Here's some photos.

Proof positive that a cat is a liquid. I had to share this.

I may have misspelled it, but my gravy licker is loving it. Yay! She'll eat Friskies! Not the greatest, but it's got no fish. The Turkey and giblets flavor was a hit! She seems to be a poultry only cat. And Hades likes it too, but he'll eat shoeleather if you let him.

Hades is getting big... Fast...

Wow... That was a bit scary. Still keeping an eye on her, but Hecate started wheezing audibly on inhales after trying Friskies Concoctions Chicken in Creamy Crabby Sauce. So... we did our research, and gave her a quarter of a 25mg Benedryl. That comes to about 6.25mg. Oh, she did not take being...

I do wonder if Hades is teething. He is a chewer. Will this behavior stop? He's approximately six months.

Okay, so I was playing chase the kitties out of the bedroom, and while running full tilt to the door, Hades ran headlong into my planted leg. Fairly sure he thumped his noggin good, but now he won't come out from under the couch. Not even for wet food. He'll come out eventually, right?

I ask this because Hades often wakes up from naps crying and wanting attention and to lay down next to us to go back to sleep, like a kid who wakes up from a nightmare, crawls into bed with mom and dad, and falls asleep again. This is a daily occurrence.

Hades is adorable, except for one little thing. He gets tear stains and dark crusties in his nose. They're not runny, but I have to tackle him about once a week to scrub off some of the grime. I use plain water and q-tips, but when I'm done, it's better, but still stained around his eyes. Which...
