Cryptic, How have the sprays worked? I dealing with a similar issue with my cat, Bear. He is super attached to both my husband and me. His happy place is between both of us on the couch, touching both of us. My husband has been traveling for work for 3 days now and I am ready to pull my hair...

My husband always thought he was allergic to cats, but when our cat adopted us we went to an allergy doctor who tested what my husband was actually allergic to. It turns out he is mildly allergic to cats, but seriously allergic to dust mites! We are careful to vacuum every two or three days...

I'm not really upset about the whisker thing; I know its not something to be too concerned about. Its just that it is one more thing to deal with at meal times. She barely ate any of her food last night (while I posted about our success)- She ate about a quarter of her meal once we put it on...

Mild Success! Hunger has won... a little. She refused breakfast with the Hare today and Canned sardines. We waited 2 hours and offered again.... drum roll please- SHE ATE HALF! Tonight- the same thing! As I type she is eating dinner, 1.5 hours late with my husband standing guard, but she is...

I know she has got us trained! We've tried letting her get hungry ... and she seems perfectly content to go on a hunger strike. We will let her go 2 meals (24 hours) without eating, but then we make sure she eats. Our other two are more than willing to eat hers... but we are trying to get the...

We have been feeding our 3 cats homemade raw (the same recipe) for three years now. They get two meals a day. One of our three cats, Penny, has always been a little more reserved when it comes to food. She has gone through phases where she has needed to be convinced to eat (we would hold a...

One of my cats had a urinary blockage a few years ago. The vets automatically told me I needed to put him on a special urinary diet, but my little guy is allergic to chicken (all the special diets include chicken). We adjusted what we were feeding him and he has been fine for years without any...

Ginny,   I was a bit concerned about the wheat being more of an allergen than walnut, but when I searched online I found more posts and comments about cats having issues with the walnut than the wheat. My cats actually had bald spots and rashes that cleared up once I switched away from clay...

So we have decided to go with Swheat Scoop multi-cat rather than the Blue Buffalo walnut litter. Here is my Blue Buffalo Walnut vs Swheat Scoop comparison.  What is it- Walnut vs Wheat. I guess the big concern here is that the wheat could be a more serious allergen, but when I was doing an...

Tia-MiaALT, I agree completely with your assessment of walmart's new corn litter.  We ran into some hiccups and we are reevaluating our decision to go with the blue walnut litter- the cats seem to dig forever in it. When they dig too much they break up other clumps that are already in the box...

We have switched to Blue Buffalo walnut litter. Switch has gone smoothly so far and the price should be decent as long as we catch the sales right.

We would get 10 lbs of the fresh results for a little less than $7. That 10 lb bag would last about two weeks for our three cats. One of our cats had a urinary blockage and during his recovery we figured out that clay was causing skin irritations and pellet type litters were not acceptable to...

Grrr! Walmart has done it again- I go to buy litter today and there is no more Fresh Results Corn Cob Litter! They replaced it with 'Litter Maid Premium Corn Cob' which has a picture of the fresh results on it! It is scented and has a different texture though. Not cool at all! Does anyone have...

Awesome!

We never did figure anything out. He still does it, and his sister picked up the habit too. Their mother, and two other siblings do not.  She does it next to wires and cardboard boxes most of the time, but he generally does it without anything next to his face. He always acts like he is...
