Thanks! That link worked! The wiki article seems to imply that it was thought they were extinct UNTIL two were found at an estate sale in the 1960’s. Maybe they’re still around? I got him from a shelter as a drop-off anyway so I know the likelihood of him being related is very low. But it’d...

ENTRY! I’d LOVE to know if my boy is related to a chantilly!

And he’s a very WELL loved kitty! He gets slicker-brushed every night as part of our night time routine! :blush:

I tried to enter the giveaway but it seems the link wasn’t working properly. Of all the independent research I’ve attempted, I would guess he’s possibly a chantilly! The DNA is only $95 which I feel like it’s horrific. But free is better!

So my 10mos old little boy has had a weird cough since I got him as a kitten. It didn’t start until about 6mos old. It has gradually happened less often as I’ve gotten rid of scented plugins, changed to soy wax candles and changed to natural cleaning products. What he does is he’ll like press...

Thanks di and bob! He was definitely stressed when I figured out what was going on! All I heard was it sounded like he was playing with something he shouldn’t and sure enough...he was running down the hall fussing about it. Luckily the affected area was only maybe a 1/4 square inch of his...

So for a week or so I’ve had sticky traps out and Nouveau has left them alone...until this morning. I pulled his paw free, albeit hissing and fussing, and trimmed a majority of the affected fur away. But he’s still aggressively pulling at a little bit that’s left. Should I try to get the rest...

Hey all my fellow cat lovers! So my little boy Nouveau is now 7.5mo weighs 9.5lbs and got a clear bill of health from the vet this week! So to get right down to it, I know all babies have their quarks, habits, and personalities. But when it comes to the litter box, it’s a whole new world for...

Hey all! So just had an interesting experience with my boy. Like most cats he goes crazy for string. I didn’t want him to be able to swallow any and just threw out some old shoes so washed the shoe laces so we could play together and I wouldn’t have to worry about it breaking off. Well, he ran...

Nouveau has gotten behind my machines in my tiny wash room and it makes me super nervous that he’ll get tangled or hurt. He even climbed the aluminum exhaust vent on the dryer and caused it to come off. Even though it’s only $25 to replace, I didnt want it to become a habit. Anywho, I discovered...

Hey Brian!! Thanks for the advice! He definitely gets breakfast. But I gotta try harder at giving it to him at a more regular time. I just bought a 6-meal auto feeder because I want to continue feeding him 3 times a day until he’s a year old. And some days I’m not able to leave work to come...

He was really bad at climbing my bedroom curtains during a super busy week at work so I started to shut him when he did it. I know that cats can take any sort of response as positive simply because they want attention. So I think he started to climb the curtains cuz I was laying in bed on my...

Back story: I haven’t had a cat in over 15 years. So the last time I had one, as usual at that age, my parents took care of her and she was an outdoor cat. I’d been getting that craving for a four-legged companion for the past year or so and saw an adoption event going on at my local shelter...

I tried raising the blinds so Nouveau could see outside which is what he was trying to do. But by raising them, they became a more enticing challenge for him to try and jump at and capture! Which resulted in more noise. As a kitten, he WILL find something to entertain himself with regardless of...
