    tips on e-collar/cone management and eating

    I wonder how abrasive one of these would be on her chin. I’m thinking if it’s smooth enough it may be ok. Or maybe after a couple days, depending if the area is kind of raw or not. I sure wish it was a spot that could have a bandage. I’ll inquire with one of their vet techs and see if they have...

    tips on e-collar/cone management and eating

    Hi, my Mia needs a second surgery on her chin. She had an adenocarcinoma on her little chin removed in December, but our vet didn’t get clean edges. After a CT scan at the oncology clinic in Madison last week, we’ve decided to bring her back to get scar-revision surgery to excise the edges that...

    DISCONTINUED: Most EVO....ALL Innova....ALL California Natural Cat Foods

    This is sad news!!! Chewy and Petflow both sent me notices that the Evo95 chicken/turkey cans would be 'shrinking' to 5.5 oz from 13.2... but I better stock up on any Innova I can still get. We have 5 cats and I really like the cost savings of the big cans - and who wants all those little ones...

    My Cat is Bullying My BFs Cat

    Do you recommending switching their areas or leaving them in the same place during the separation? I have litterboxes all over, but they were afraid to jump off the bed or the sofa to go potty. Hopefully Posh's kitties will be curious enough to *want* to be reintroduced! I'll keep an eye on...

    I have a grabber

    Reading this thread, I miss my Cilla so much!!! If I didn't get up early enough in the morning to feed her she would knock over all the bottles on my dresser. If that didn't work, magazines and books would crash off my bookcase headboard onto my head She'd run away with any rubberband she...

    My Cat is Bullying My BFs Cat

    Hi again - this might help. LINK I just wish Eric's cats wanted to be sociable... I know they'll never be all snuggly together, but it's always nice to coexist without fighting! Best wishes, Gina

    My Cat is Bullying My BFs Cat

    I have a similar problem, but I'm not getting replies either. Does the male cat ever go after her? Or is he at all interested in being around her? That's where I'm having trouble. My female is bullying my bf's older females - to the point where they're afraid to go potty. We're doing this...

    Aggression & fear after bringing cat families together

    I've been doing lots of reading, but I'm not finding quite the right situation in any of the solutions. I tried to call Cats International's hotline today and got a recording. There site had very good information, but I'm in the middle of this reintroduction phase - and I'm kind of stuck...

    Aggression & fear after bringing cat families together

    That's what we've done today. Patch and Smudge are "The Ladies". Yeah, things were fairly calm before we lost Bud. After that Mia must've gotten confused or whatever cats do to change their pecking order. Smudge seemed like the aggressor at first, laying in doorways, standing there like a little...

    Aggression & fear after bringing cat families together

    I apologize in advance that this is quite long. It's been 9 months since Eric's cats moved into my house, they are both female calicos, age 12. When they moved in, I had Buddy who was about their age, a calm, in-control, cool guy. And Mia, who was not quite a year old. Sadly my precious Budbud...

    crapping behind the tv....

    I apologize for my language. It will not let me edit the thread title and I'm sorry for offending anyone. I was pretty angry when I wrote the first time. I'm resigned now to the fact that, even thought I've never had to do it before, I am going to have to scrub my carpet of cat pee and try to...

    crapping behind the tv....

    Hmm. I don't think so, the poop was well formed, segmented but still in long pieces, and not hard nuggets or anything. She had wet food this morning, and went into the kitchen multiple times for dry. I don't think she's having any grief. Mia is, and I am, but Smudgie never paid any attention...

    crapping behind the tv....

    I'm much more settled down now So far I just used Odo-Ban, it was soaked through the carpet pad and everything... I will need to get help moving the tv out from the wall to get behind there with a carpet cleaner. I have a small one that will suck out whatever cleaner or water after it...

    crapping behind the tv....

    I am so furious! My fiance's cats moved in in MAY. They should be used to the situation by now... Everyone was integrated, not liking it... but integrated. My dear sweet Budbud crossed to the Bridge 3 weeks ago. But he was not close to Eric's cats, they just all co-existed - he was easygoing...
