Thanks for that warning! Fortunately, my TV is out of cat range, and they also aren't pouncers/interested in touching it, only watching. But I'll definitely keep that in mind!

I just thought of something else - can you stream internet to your TV? If so, there's a bunch of 'cat TV' things on YouTube, like videos where someone films birds eating seed for an hour. Occasionally when I'm going out, I'll chromecast that from my laptop to the TV, and my cats will very...

Hi everyone! My name is Bella, I'm in my late twenties, and live in Massachusetts, USA with my wife and our son. I have a full time job, but work a few hours a week at my town's local cat shelter (and volunteer there even more hours). I've got three lovely kitties, all adopted from the shelter...

My childhood cat was named Lucy (top left), my mom named her. When I got married and got a house, I adopted two kitties from the shelter (that I also volunteer at). I'd grown up reading Harry Potter and always wanted to adopt a silver tabby and name her Minerva McGonagall, however I didn't have...

Are you able to get a second cat? Having a playmate could definitely help to alleviate his boredom, particularly when he's home alone. I also bought my cats a remote controlled mouse, that they LOVE. They tire easily of toys, but they're still super interested in this one.

Did you adopt her from a shelter? Some shelters ask that cats be returned there, or at least be notified that you can't keep the cat. Just curious why you adopted the kitten, if you already have a cat?

It's been several years since the last post in this thread - I want to bring it back to see if anyone else these days has any additional input? I'm looking to get toothpaste for my cats and I'm really unsure as to which flavor would be the best chance and at least one or two of my three cats...

Big, big hugs to you in this time. I'm so sorry to read about the loss of your beloved boy. It sounds like you were doing everything you possibly could, and he was lucky to have you. Take care, sending positive thoughts your way
