    Anyone else with a VERY possessive kitty?

    I have the same problem with my two. One male (Brandon) and one female (Kabou). Both are around 3 years old. Brandon harrasses Kabou just as you described. I'll be interested in seeing what others have to suggest. I've also felt the need to break it up when things get too rough. I've...

    biting hard objects?

    My female is 3 years old and does the same thing. She chews and bites hard plastic, edges of furniture, books, etc. I don't know why, although I've noticed she does it while waiting for me to fix her dinner or when she appears nervous. I agree about maybe having your kitty's teeth checked.

    Hurrican Ike!

    What a horrible experience for you. I'm glad you are staying in place this time. Yes, the path has moved more to the Galveston area. Take care!

    Hurrican Ike!

    Is there anyone else besides me in the path of IKE? I live in Houston and I am not evacuating. I've never been through an actual hurricane hit before so I'm really nervous. I have water, food, cat supplies, but my biggest fear is being without power which means no air conditioning, etc. etc...

    How Many Raw Feeders Out There?

    I've been feeding one of my cats raw for about two years. It cleared up her IBS and now I'm afraid to switch her back to commercial food! I used to make my own from raw rabbit but the shipping expense and hassle was too much. I presently use a product from Feline Instincts where I just have...

    Help me w/strays in Houston

    Try Friends for Life. It is a no-kill Shelter. You might also call Homeless Pet Placement League, which rescues, fosters, and ultimately adopts. You should be able to find both on the internet. Hope that helps.

    Delicate stomach?

    I agree with this. My cat has suspected IBD and after switching her to a raw diet, her symptoms are controlled if not gone. I was told by my vet that once you find a food they can tolerate, stick with it.

    Switching to all wet: how to handle feeding when away from home for longer periods?

    I can relate because I also have two cats who are afraid of anyone other than myself. They run and hide and don't come out until the stranger leaves. I feed dry to one of my cats only because he won't transition to wet, so he wouldn't be a problem, but the other one is on a raw diet, which...

    A homemade "litter locker"

    IBD in cat-seeking advice

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. It is such a hard thing to deal with. My vet suspects that my female Kabou has IBD. She is only 3. I went so far as the ultrasound and the next step was a biopsy. As a last resort, I tried a raw diet and it has miraculously worked for her. I...

    Piddly little trivia question for cat people

    Did anyone see Harry and Tonto? Filmed in 1974 and starred Art Carney as Harry. I believe he won an Oscar for his performance? Harry is a retired teacher in his seventies living in NY with his cat Tonto. His wife is deceased and they are demolishing the building he lives in. So Harry and...

    Will Persi go to jail? Is he truly a vicious animal?

    Oh my goodness. I am so sorry you have gone through such a nightmare. I've been following this thread closely because a similar incident happend to me about a month ago. I live in Texas. My cat freaked out and went totally balistic when her leash got tangled up in a plant on my balcony. My...
