    Unadoptable - Help!

    Pathetic. The rest of you may want to play diplomat here, and while I understand the desire to want to keep all topics here civil, and admire the restraint it probably takes to try and give some practical advice to this person,there comes a point when entertaining opinions such as these is an...

    Why are my cats eating the ants?

    An ant that has consumed poison would almost certainly have died more or less instantly while still inside the trap wouldn't it?

    Can 10 Wk Old Kittens Sleep In Your Bed?

    What I did was use a toy to lure my kittens to the litter box. Once they saw it I would take the toy and leave them alone. I found this a good way to get them to memorize where their boxes are and helps them to learn the layout of the house. If the room they are staying in is small enough and...

    New Cat Super Sad.

    You should probably take him back to the vet just in case. A lot can happen in three weeks. Is he eating the same food that his previous owner provided for him or is that stuff new to him? An abrupt change in diet could be a contributing factor. Keep in mind that he still is adjusting, not...

    Strange Behavior...

    You should never leave a cat soaking after a bath. Obviously you didn't intend on her getting wet but that is besides the point.

    Difficult Rehoming Decision.

    Put some time into finding a really good Home for her and make sure that it is somebody who has the time dedication and desire to keep her for the rest of her life. It will be a difficult transition but she sounds like a well adjusted cat so she will bounce back fine. She will be better off. I...

    Catio: Is it safe for them to be in it at night?

    Since you didn't provide any details onthe design and what materials will be used etc,any answer will be largely speculative. But here goes anyway. Suppose you had big thick sturdy bars, yet appropriately spaced enough to render their escape impossible, vermin could come in. Someone could shove...

    Cat litter box entrance, where is the best pside for it to be?

    What do you mean when you say you are going to put their sand box inside it? Are you using this as a litter box, or to house a litter box? If you intend on doing the latter I would recommend against that. The chance of them urinating and/or defecatinn outside of it but inside the bigger bin is...

    A Couple Of Questions About Probiotics

    Thank you for the info. Going to check out those other products. I assumed that cooking would destroy it but I'd figure it was worth asking anyway.

    Under The Neck Fur Of Chinchilla Persian-grooming

    Respectfully, the bib seems like too drastic a measure to me for what is essentially a cosmetic issue. My himilayans have this too but it is always in the same spots, their undersides and behind the ears. They get brushed throroughly every day. I think it has more to do with then being naturally...

    Need Ideas On Original Ways To Play.

    Use a dark sheet and secure them to some pieces of furniture, at a height that he can readily jump into, but with enough height that he won't dip into the floor. The idea is to create a sort of hammock/trampoline. Make sure the sheet is very dark or if you have a lightweight blanket that is dark...
