Certain fishing line would be fine. A higher pound test mono or fluorocarbon wouldn't pose a problem and can be both clear and high visibility if that is a concern. The significant issue is line that has high tensile strength and very small diameter. Thick mono or fluoro, 30lb+ (for example...

@FeebysOwner - I have been joking with friends/relatives that he is like an accordion. When he is petted and any pressure is applied he makes the same sound/sensation as though he is purring. Then when a person stops petting him he has no purr going. It is instant. I will try to make audio...

This isn't really about disturbing my sleep. I used that example as to how often and loud he can be. He is a little over 2 1/2 years old. Still a youngster. He only began doing this a few months ago. His behavior hasn't changed. It may be a personality trait. After I started caring for...

This isn't snoring. These are the types of noises a cat makes and people think: "Oh, he just made the cutest little sound!" Such as if a cat were curled up, then rolled over a bit on a cat bed. But he does it often. Continually. Repetitively. Does anyone know if this is normal, or why a...

I have the Armakat A6702 and it works great. Both of my cats love it and it is sturdy enough for them to chase each other up and down. It is somewhat tall at 5'7" but does not have a large base so it can be placed in a lot of different locations.

The litter I really like is Vetbasis. It is made from corn cobs and only has the slightest scent of lavender when first put into a litter box. After that the litter itself has no odor whatsoever. It does a great job containing the smell of cat waste and clumps wonderfully. Additionally the...

I purchased it at a local pet store that focuses on healthy/more natural products for cats and dogs. I tried it because I hadn't been satisfied with other cat litters do to dust, smell, and general cleanliness. Also, all the other litter I tried had an unpleasant odor in and of itself, and...

I used the search engine before I posted. Did you look at the results? They are mostly concerning hairballs and some other product. A couple mention Vetbasis going out of business and one post vaguely mentions the litter being seen at a store (over a decade ago). I was trying to find if...

This stuff has been phenomenal for my cats and I am considering using it exclusively. Does anyone have any long term experience with this litter? I have only been using it a few weeks in one litter box and have been very impressed. I'd be interested to learn about people's experiences with...

My cat was born with a short tail. It is only about 3.5" long. He has always had digestive issues and feeding him dry food has been the only way to prevent runny/soft stools. I've worked to transition him to wet food and tried various brands but it always ends up "which one makes his stools...

I asked about short tail or bobtail cats because I had read and been told that certain muscles that help with digestion never fully developed and it is typical for these types of cats to have digestive issues. I don't think my cat is sick but I am wondering if his issue is because of this...

Hi, everyone. I've posted here a bit about my cat and made some comments in regards to cat food. I would like to know if anyone has a Manx or bobtail cat and if anyone has any experience with potential digestive issues. I have been trying for over a year to find something other than dry food...

Nexabiotic might be worth looking into as a probiotic. It has outperformed the Proviable DC for my cat with digestive issues. The S. Boulardii seems to be a key factor. If your cats are still having issues and you have the time it might be worth consideration to examine this probiotic and its...

Both of my cats really like Dave's Cat's Meow chicken and turkey varieties but won't hardly eat the ones with beef.

That is a lot of money to spend. Can you just go to Walmart or someplace and get a giant storage bin and cut a hole in it? This worked well for me but the aesthetics were an issue. I had a jumbo hooded litter box for my cats and it broke down quick. During a transition to the cat cabinet I...
