    Cat weight problem

    I adopted a five year old male cat named Jack just this past March. Jack is what I think is called a Tuxedo cat—mostly black, but with white paws and white on his face and neck. Jack gets some wet food in the mornings, kibble left out in a bowl next to water and 6 Greenies twice a day. When I...

    Extremely vocal kitty, what is he trying to say?

    What a gorgeous kitty! And what an equally gorgeous patio! You folks in SoCal have no right to publish such lush green yards when in Wisconsin we’re barely beginning to see some tiny green buds!;)

    Extremely vocal kitty, what is he trying to say?

    That’s an amazing story at the Vet’s! I had no idea that cats had such quirky personalities. As a first time cat owner, I am learning a lot. My jack is a tuxedo cat, I think, and have no idea if there is any Siamese in him. It has been so interesting to me to read this thread. I’m so glad to...

    Extremely vocal kitty, what is he trying to say?

    What a beautiful kitty you have! I only knew my DIL’s two cats who tend to keeps their thoughts to themselves. I think we have cats who should be in the theatre. When I cone home from an hour long walk outside, I am greeted with the saddest, most pathetic little sounds as if to say, “I was...

    Extremely vocal kitty, what is he trying to say?

    I am a new cat owner and adopted five-year-old Jack about six weeks ago. I had always thought that cats only meowed occasionally, so when I heard Jack using many different vocalizations, I was very surprised. He has a complaint mode That he uses when I am not sitting down so that he can be on my...

    Kibble soup

    Thanks for all the helpful information. I will give him wet food 3 times a day and have some dry kibble nearby to see if he eats that. I just don’t want him to feel hungry. First time cat owner here 😺

    Kibble soup

    I adopted a five year old cat 6 weeks ago, just after he had 8 teeth removed. The staff at the Humane Society said to just give him wet food for the first two weeks and after that add kibble but moisten it. Now Jack doesn’t want to eat dry kibble. He likes it quite moist and as it dries out...

    My cat mainly just wants to be on my lap.

    Thanks, ARTNJ, for the suggestions. I did buy him a nice plushy cat bed, but when I tried to put him i it, he acted like I was trying to put him in a cat carrier. I’ve only had to put Jack in a cat carrier one time, which was an incredibly traumatic experience for both of us. Who knew a nine...

    Thanks for sharing your experiences, KarenKat. It sounds like my Jack is very similar to your Olive.😻

    My cat mainly just wants to be on my lap.

    Thanks again, Feebys owner. Yes, he is a rescue cat and I don’t know what his life was like before I adopted him. I asked for a lap cat, but I didn’t anticipate how much of a lap cat he is! The counselor at the Humane Society said that he was a very friendly cat. Since I adopted him right...

    Cat minus 8 teeth

    OK, thanks for the suggestion. I will check into the toothbrush, and continue with the “kibble soup” that he seems to like. 😊😺.
