    Does one need to wash and sterilize a water fountain every day?

    We got our first fountain about 6 months ago and the cats love it. But, I noticed something very weird- a clear, Vaseline-looking goo quickly builds up in the filters and pump and can restrict the water flow after just a few days. At first, I thought it was a lubricant the manufacturer put on...

    My sweet baby is constipated

    Miralax (or Clearlax, the Walmart store brand, which has the exact same ingredients but is much cheaper) can help with constipation. Feeding only canned food can help a lot, too, because it has a lot of water in it that softens everything up and makes it move through the system more easily. If...

    Scratching till scabby above eyes

    We've got an appt on Thursday morning. He's almost due for his 2nd check up, so we're doing two birds with one stone. I've been paying close attention to Leo today and have noticed something that might be related- he's sneezing. Not a lot, but just like my Frannie used to when her seasonal...

    Question of the Day, Friday, September 9

    This or That game

    Painting. White meat or dark meat? (I had 'breast or leg?' typed out, then realized that might be taken the wrong way. :lol3: I just put a whole chicken in the crockpot, so I've got poultry on my mind)

    Has your cat ever caught a bat?

    We have a bat colony living in the (blocked off) chimney of our rental house, and possibly the attic, so we get a stray bat or two in the house every few weeks. The end of June was awful. I think everyone setting off fireworks had the bats all confused and scared, the poor guys. We had 6 wander...

    healthy cat pooping outside the litter box

    I wonder if he's associating pooping in the litterbox with pain/discomfort? Constipation can hurt a lot and is definitely not a positive experience. We just had something similar happen with peeing and a urinary tract infection. Annabelle kept peeing out of the box even after her meds were...
