    Outdoor to indoor cat

    Thanks for your info, much appreciated. You are so right about my feeling bad. She's been with me about 6 months so I guess I have to be patient. I have to laugh about the your blinds. I finally just pulled my blinds up to keep Jasmine from destroying them. You are also right about it...

    Outdoor to indoor cat

    I adopted a 3 year old reverse tuxedo(moo cat) cat from a shelter. She has 3 cat castles and more toys (electronic and other) than FAO Schwartz.and several water fountains.

    Good 'reward' treats?

    Comment by 'Rich K' in article 'When To Spay Or Neuter A Cat?'

    I wish more emphasis would be put on spaying as a cancer preventative. I lost my best buddy to mammary cancer at age 10 in spite of surgery and chemotherapy. As a single indoor cat there was no chance of unwanted kittens so I thought why risk the operation. Dumbest mistake I ever made. I just...

    Incontinence In Cats Stress??

    Help needed. We recently took in a stray cat. He is about 8 months old. We assume he has been neutered before he came to us. (actually he invited himself in) because one of his ears has been clipped. He has been checked by our vet and vaccinated. The vet said the cat (Hunter) was healthy. He is...
