Is this something that I should be worried about? When my cat is using the litter box her tail puffs up. I just thought it was odd.

Thanks! He's 4 or 5 (got him as a stray) so perfect timing, I guess. I'm watching him for now, but if it continues, he's definitely going to the vet!

I was petting my cat and when I got to the base of his tail, he whipped around like he was uncomfortable. His back also seemed to ripple a bit. This is something new, as normally he loves having the base of his tail scratched. Otherwise, he seems perfectly fine. Also this is the only spot...

My 16 year old cat has decided he likes to pee/poo in the bathroom rather than the cat box.  I took him to the vet and had his bloodwork done. She said  that for a 16 year old cat he is great.  Just the very, very beginning of kidney issues.  Could he just be getting senile?  Any other ideas?  

Two of my cats have urinary tract issues. We feed a vet prescribed food (Purina UR), but are there any non-vet foods that are good for urinary issues?  The vet diet is very expensive (I have 4 cats that free feed, so they all eat it)  Any recommendations?  Thanks!

The new dog is very chill. Not yappy. Definitely a diva lap dog.  She couldn't care less about the cats.  If they are standing there, she might try to sniff them, but generally she ignores them completely.  Never tries to chase them.  We just got her within the last week.  She spends most of...

We just adopted a 6 pound Pomeranian mix from the Humane Society.  We are bringing her into a home with 4 cats and a German Shepherd.  All the cats and the GSD get along fine.  The youngest cat Ginger  (she's a year) has never had and issue with the GSD and they are really buddies. She'll bonk...

We just adopted a new kitten.  I started feeding him Blue Buffalo Spa Kitten(wet and dry) on Friday.  I know he needs time to adjust to the new food, but how long does that usually take?  He is the stinkiest thing right now!  Gas is awful and the litter box is worse! How long should I give him...

Has anyone found a lightweight stick vacuum (I'd LOVE cordless, but not required) that picks up cat litter? With 3 cats, I do a ton of vacuuming, especially near the cat boxes because of the tracked litter. I hate using my big vac, but every cordless I try doesn't work well getting the cat...

Thanks! I'll definitely watch it. I need to upload some pix of all my kitties because I love looking at everyone elses!

When I got home from work my newest kitty, Snowflake, has a scratch in the corner of her eye. I have no clue how it got there. It's not bad and it's not in the eye itself. Is there anything I can do? I don't think it warrants a vet visit. Should I just watch it? Anything I can put on it?

I am introducing a new kitty into the house. I have 3 males (all neutered). I'm introducing a spayed female. Everything is going really well. The new female and 2 of the 3 males seem to be getting along fine. I just have a question about my shyest kitty (Simon). Right now, I set up a...

Yes, I"m looking for one that dispenses all the time (not one on a timer). Dry food and water. Thanks!!

Does anyone use one of these? Does anyone have one that's large enough for 4 cats? Are they worth it? DOes the food stay fresh? Here's what I'd love to find. An automatic feeder/water bowl that has multiple bowls maybe 2 for food and 2 for water? DOes that exist? If not, which one would...

We need a cat door to put in the door between the house and the garage (we finally made a laudry room, so we can put the cat boxes out there!!) Do you have a cat door that you'd recommend? My cats are pretty large (in the 15 pound range) so I need a big one! Thanks!
