The last few times I trimmed Bellas nails 2 nails split on the ends. She has a good diet and I do not go down very far(just the tips get trimmed). Is this normal? If not-is there anything I can do to remedy this problem? Someone suggested I put vaseline on the nail after trimming to keep them...

Bella and I were out for a walk on Sat. and while she was sniffing some flowers something bit or stuck her in the paw because she jumped 10ft off the ground. I tried looking at her paw to see if there was blood(from a cut) or a sticker stuck in the paw, but couldn't find anything. Plus she kept...

One day I got home from having dinner out(I was gone maybe 2.5 hrs.)and I saw Bella laying by the front door and not MEOWING at me to say HI-so I lifted her up and saw to my horror her collar stuck in her mouth...it didn't break away. She was soaking wet paws and face and had blood at the...

When I first got Bella at 4mos. she had a bad diahrea problem too-After taking her to the vet (fecal exam etc...)I found out she required a diet high in fiber. I tried a few brands and what she decided on was Eukanuba and Kitty Grass. Since I changed her diet we have not had a problem with...

I bought only the water bottle one at PetsMart about a year ago to use when I am gone for the weekend.Once it is filled with water it will be pretty hard to tip over. Bella has never had a problem with tipping over bowls, but I think it will work great for your problem. For everyday use she has...

I totally agree with Maui... I have a siamese and she loves to play with-eat and steal my wool sweaters. Because she is an indoor cat she wasn't getting enough fiber from her her everyday food source. So what I eventually ended up doing is plant kitty grass. She loves it-It must taste like...

I know what you mean about the cryingonce you bring them in. The minute Bella is in the house and the harness is off-she sits by the sliding door(the one we always leave through)and cries and paces back and forth until she realizes she in for the night. I usually feed her when we finish our...

Bella has been walking on a leash now for a little over a year. She is an indoor cat and I figured that walks would be a good way for her to get some exercise and let out some energy. Our walks last anywhere from 30min to 2 hrs depending on how good she is that day. I would start out training...

Well I did start by reading that book but there are things to consider first before you begin toilet training. -are they spayed/neutered???this has to be first -elimination problems out side the litter box? if yes, get those taken care of first -do you have a dedicated restroom(toilet) for your...

Oh here is a better picture of Bella with her Monkey....

Sorry it took so long for me to reply...I was out of town. Anyhow the way I have prevented Bella from biting is to not allow her to do it. If we are playing or she just has the inclination to attack my hands and bite I stop what I am doing, say NO and walk away. This has seemed to work, she...

Well my situation is a little different-I got blue siamese twins, brother and sisterat the same time because I was told that they reqiure a lot of attention(this is true). This was wonderful because they are very active intelligent animals and enjoy lots of playtime. On Sept 10th Max got out of...

I went through this too... My female siamese did the same to her twin brother when he returned from the vet from being neutered at 6 months. He would lay next to her and follow her around and she would just attack him, hiss, and stalk him to no end. The poor boy could not eat, sleep, or use the...

Thanks for the info. I am not going to do the procedure-it seems a little extreme for routine maintenance. Can anyone give any tips on brushing kitty teeth , tooth brush, tooth paste, how often?? ____________________________ Monica

I was interested in getting Bellas teeth cleaned at the Vet or Groomers the procedure is called "Dental Prophylaxis". Has anyone had this procedure done? I was reading that they have to put Bella to sleep to do the cleaning. Is this a safe way to go or are there other Teeth cleaning methods...
