    Friends or foes??

    Caution is a good observation, that makes sense and pretty much sums it up. One reason I was so curious about their relationship is that the pawing at the window reminded me of something my old cat used to do--with his brother from the same litter, the kitten that we gave to our next door...

    Friends or foes??

    Let's analyze my cat's behavior! lol. My neutered cat Ollie has some regular social interactions with a fluffy cat that sometimes shows up at the door or window. (side note: Ollie showed up 1.5 years ago and adopted us, he became indoor only about a year ago.) I'm very curious about what these...

    Pet safe leather couch cleaners/conditioners

    Hello all. Anyone have any recommendations for things you have used? There are a couple products we have used in the past but the containers don't specifically say "pet safe" and one says "keep out of reach of pets". (One of them is Armorall leather protectant made for car seats, one is Zep...

    I can't find a good storage bin to modify into a litterbox

    I am absolutely losing my mind over litterboxes. I need to find a suitable storage bin to convert into a litterbox for a large cat who pees sideways and very high. I am currently using this FRISCO High Sided Cat Litter Box, Extra Large 24-in (Free Shipping) | Chewy, which is 10" high all...

    My cat occasionally runs up to me, gently bites my leg, and meows urgently

    aww. that is cute, about Casper telling you to go to bed. I do follow him sometimes when he wants something but in these cases he just stays put. just sits and looks at me. what I've been wondering (and this may just be me thinking way too much) is if he just wants me to pet him, urgently...

    My cat occasionally runs up to me, gently bites my leg, and meows urgently

    When he does this, it feels like he's trying to tell me something is wrong, but I am not sure. If I say "what's wrong bud?" he just sits there. If I try to walk away, he runs up to me and bites me again and meows. His meow is longer and sounds like he's frustrated or upset. I can tell he's not...

    Greenies Dental Treats Making Cat Sick?

    Please be very careful with greenies treats. I used to feed them to my cat until I read 1 star Amazon reviews. there are a lot of separate listings but here is one for example. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/reviews/B071FH2NLX/ref=cm_cr_unknown?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star I would not give them to my...

    Trying to thoroughly remove toxic carpet shampoo

    Thanks Feebysowner! I ran the steam cleaner again with just water and a bit of vinegar to get rid of the residue. It seemed to work really well and my eyes and throat stopped bothering me almost immediately. Should be good for kitty. thanks!

    Trying to thoroughly remove toxic carpet shampoo

    Hi all! My dad used this HDX Extractor carpet shampoo on the carpet. I am worried because my cat lies on that carpet often. On the back of the container it says "pets may reenter the room when carpet is dried and has been thoroughly vaccumed". I don't entirely trust this because the vaccum...

    Best brush to prevent hairballs on medium haired cat

    Hiya, I am unsure which type of brush would be the most successful at removing loose fur. my cat doesn't really get tangles so I only care about removing the most loose hair possible. I used a human hairbrush with bristles for fine hair on my cat just as an experiment but it didn't seem to do...

    so confused about cat carrier sizes

    Thanks so much for the recommendations and advice, everyone. I'm going to get him a hard carrier, probably the 24" to start.

    so confused about cat carrier sizes

    hi all! I need a new carrier for a stray cat that showed up a few months ago. I took him to a vet recently and the carrier I'd bought from chewy.com was too small. it worked for that day but he was unhappy being scrunched in there, couldn't stand or turn around. he is apparently a long cat...
