Perhaps I should put a collar on the boyfriend and hook him up to an electro-shock fence at the front door to remind him to watch for the cat? J/K

My kitty Georgia lived with me in my old apartment (4th story, door on inside hallway) for 2 years and occasionally chased the pizza man down a couple doors but was content to remain inside. I now live on a first floor apartment which opens to the outside with a boyfriend (really more of a...

Thanks guys! I didn't realize cats get acne. I am feeding from plastic bowls, so I'll remedy that and see if the problem disappears. Thanks!

I haven't been here in a few months and wasn't well-known before, but I wanted to share some pictures anyhow. I know I enjoy perusing images of others' cats, so why not? My endearing and clingy Georgia (age 3) and I: Georgia's feisty pal Dixie (age 2), ready to bite after being dressed up...

My calico, Georgia, who has a white chin, has little black patches scattered on it. Upon further inspection, I've found that they're composed of tiny little black specks. I've picked a couple out scratching her chin, and they don't appear to be fleas or other parasites. I've combed the rest...

Mine are both about my age... I'm about to turn 22 and they're both 2 (24 in human years.) So we're three young single girls in the big city!

Yeah, I figured that might be the case. Oh well, she's a beautiful and entertaining gal, and we enjoy each other's company, even from a distance. Her pal Georgia is my snugglebug, so I don't miss out on that aspect. We're doing better with the cords today. I lock her out of the bedroom where...

Austin is a GREAT city! I'm from San Antonio, and if I ever move back to Texas, it will be to Austin.

Vinson is gorgeous!

Thanks! She does sometimes enjoy playing with a cat stuffed animal I leave out for her which is about her size. She enjoys wrestling with my other cat Georgia more, though. I'm actually a bit afraid to blow in her face. Sometimes, when I pick her up, if she sees my face, she bites my chin...

I keep my own cats indoors. I live in the middle of Los Angeles in a large apartment building, so even if I wished to let them out, I couldn't. The cats we had growing up were/are indoor/outdoor cats because they were feral and came to our backdoor as strays. Over the years, the strays...

I don't want my almost 2 year-old cat Dixie to get electrocuted, but at the same time, I can't live in complete darkness and without an alarm clock. Any tips on deterring her from chewing/playing with electrical cords? She chews everything including me and her pal Georgia, so it's hard to...

I hope Corkscrew feels better soon! My kitty Georgia went to the vet Monday with similar symptoms and they have been completely alleviated by an antibiotic shot and Clavamox drops. I hope the same happens for Corkscrew!
