We were doing a Halloween photo shoot with two black cats when our torti Katie (aka The Big Baby) decided to get involved. Her imprompteau picture came out better than any of the shots we tried to pose!
First off, congrats on your new adoptee! You must be so excited to welcome a new cat into your home
That said, I can assure you that in my many years in feline rescue I have changed many a name with no adverse effects. Cats are not like humans when it comes to name association. To a cat...
Have you called the vet the prescribed the Clavamox? When I was a pharmacy technician at a vet clinic, the vets had me tell every person who took home Clavamox that if vomiting or diarhhea occured, they should stop giving the Clavamox & call us to find out what the next step was. If this...
The CET Mini Toothbrush (http://www.cetdental.com/brushing_products.asp) is my favorite. It is tiny & fits over your finger, so it helps the cat make a smoother transition from just your finger in his mouth to finger & brush. My crew's favorite flavor of toothpaste is the CET Seafood - once I...
I had to ship 2 of my 4 cats from Oakland to Boston and I can highly recommend Continental. Prior to making the decision, I spoke with a Pet Travel Consultant, who told me about Continental's program (I believe it is called Quik Pak) and told me that it is the prefered method for shipping pets...
Any possibility of transporting the cats to shelters out of state? My shelter routinely accepts transports of dogs...if I knew that transport was available, I might be able to convince the person in charge of the program to take a few cats.
I have never used alfalfa rabbit pellets for litter but in my quest to find a decent, inexpensive, natural litter I have had many people suggest it to me. Thank you so much for posting your findings...I guess I'll have to hit the feed store & check out some Manna Pro!
Many of the new arrivals at the animal shelter I work at will often sleep in their litter boxes. They seem to like the added "protection" of the walls of the box. Usually if I can provide them with a cardboard box with a comfy towel in the bottom or a cat bed with reasonably high sides, they...
I have used both eBay & Pet Edge with good results. My local Wal-Mart carries a floor-to-ceiling cat tree with 3 platforms for only $35 - the cats LOVE it. They recently added a 4-foot cat "house" - a base with 3 sisal posts with a cubby hole on top, a sisal pole on top of that & a platform...
It is totally normal for two cats in a household to choose seperate territories. My two have different rooms that they are "in charge" of. Darci & Finn are doing normal cat stuff by "protecting" their chosen territories and unless you fear that they are going to hurt one another, it's OK to...
Oh Laurie, I'm so sorry about your Kitty Girl. I lost a foster kitten a few years ago to FIP & it took me a very long time to deal with his loss. I found him & his 3 siblings in a cardboard box outside of a McDonald's one day while I was heading in to lunch. Lucky for them (& for me) I worked...
