Our vet told us we'd only need to cut them if they grew in such a curved manner that they grew back into the paw.  Our cats are indoor cats but are avid scratchers of their posts, and we find little claw "scales" that they've shed while scratching.  However, I have been thinking of slipping the...

To help with our cat's chlamydia, in addition to antibiotics, we were given a tube of tetracycline eye ointment.  Not only is this incredibly difficult to administer, but Loa (our cat) gets terrified and hides from us afterward.  It is so stressful for not only the cat but us as well.  Any advice!?!

I've been feeding my girls Merricks for a little while.  Unfortunately, the girls like a limited selection of flavours (Turducken, Thanksgiving day dinner, and Grammy's Pot Pie).  Really, they only eat Thanksgiving Day Dinner and Grammy's Pot Pie with mild/feigned interest.  Turducken is their...

I have two DSHs and have not found a satisfying method for grooming them.  We first tried this glove that has small rubber "bristles".  It didn't seem like it did too much.  I then got a FURminator and it seems almost counter productive.  It does remove a lot of hair (maybe too much?) but it...

This is not a problem behavior, in fact we find it adorable, but I am just curious about what it all means. Trivia, while mousing, will run around the house with one of her toy mouses in her mouth and meow loudly. And not just an ordinary meow, but a long warble like meow. What is she...

Well other than that one incident she has had clear eyes all weekend. Maybe her tear ducts just got some gak in it? I know she has had no shortage of energy, and is eating and pooping fine.

Yes, we're sticking with the L-lysine until at least the tube is done.  

Downton Tabby Estate?

Before turning on, or leaving, the dryer or leaving the fridge; my we always do a cat count as both love to explore those spots.
