I agree with what everyone else has said regarding the air fresheners. They're just covering up the smell anyway. I also understand what you mean when you say there is a cat smell. After I got my first cat in many years, I could definitely smell a difference in my apartment, not including the...

My cat also has this condition. She gets stressed out really easily and had been adopted and returned to a rescue organization as a result of her having trouble using the litter box. By the time I adopted her, it seemed that her condition was under control, mainly due to being in a less...

Yes, I agree. Their implication was that she needed a lot of attention and being in a home with other animals would not allow that. She is somewhat "needy" in that she likes to have a lot of attention but I wonder if some of that would go away if she had another cat to keep her company. She...

I'm definitely going to consider another cat. How long does it typically take for you to get a real sense of whether the cats will work well together or not?

Does anyone have an only cat because your cat cannot get along with others? When I adopted my cat I was told that she would not do well with other cats as she was previously returned by her adopter after the adopter had brought a cat and a dog into the home. I have long days sometimes and I...

If you look at the mechanism of how the drug works it makes sense that it could be used to decrease anxiety. It's basically reducing activity in the brain which is why it controls seizures. Psychiatrists also prescribe this medication off label for anxiety in humans as well. I think this is...

I just moved yesterday to another state about 5 hours away. I put Liv in her carrier about an hour or so before I left so she could acclimate (and to prevent her from escaping while we were moving the last bit of boxes). I did give her food and water early in the morning, as well as...

Hi Everyone! I have been a long time lurker in this forum and recently decided to register. I’ve enjoyed all the great advice and suggestions that I’ve read about. I recently adopted my first cat in nearly 10 years. My previous cat passed away of old age and as I was away at college, I decided...

I bought a box about 6 months ago when I first adopted my cat and it was okay. You really couldn’t see much grass (I mean almost none) in the package. The odor control was good and it clumped well but I didn’t buy it again after that. I’m using walnut litter now as it seems to be cheaper than...
