I have six cats (4 of whom jump up on the counters) and have had one of those flat cooktops for years. I ALWAYS put a pot of cold water ontop of the burner after I am done cooking, to: A. Keep the cats from landing on it if they jump up. B. Helps to cool the burner down quicker. Even if you...

I have a cat with similiar issues. I've raised lots of kittens and they are usually out of the bitey stage well before a year old. I have a one year old right now that has biting issues similar to what you are experiencing. He spent the 6 months following his neuter in a cage in the vets...

Hi, I had the same problem. I rescued a very skittish cat from the shelter I was volunteering at. Isolated her at first, but when I tried to intergrate her she would attack my other cats. She was quick as lightning and got right at them, very aggressive. I had my husband by a cheap screen...

No she wasn't doing anything wrong. She rehabbed an old barn on her property into a free roam shelter years ago. Apparently she should have gotten a variance to do this, but she probably didn't know that at the time. Her neighbors don't like having a cat shelter next door and complained to...

I am crossposting an e-mail I received regarding a free roam cat shelter in southern NJ, in a dire situation. I know there are allot of people from Jersey on this board, please help if you can. This is regarding the CAT CAMP FOUNDATION IN TABERNACLE NJ. PLEASE CROSSPOST WIDELY, WE ARE...

Hi Candace, It's really common for an unneutered males urine to stink to high heavens. Recently we rescued (stray)a unneutered male, had him "fixed" and kept him crated in a basement for a few days while arranging his adoption. No matter how often we scouped his box the basement still smelled...

Hi! First of all thanks for adopting an "older kitty" most people want 2 year olds and under. I'm so glad you have him and he's working out for you. Now about the "burrowing", I have a cat/kitten (she's just under a year) that does the same thing! I can't figure out why. Our house is...

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to drop by and tell you all that my new boy Cosmo is doing great. We took him to a veterinary eye specialist two weeks ago and he told us a little more about Cosmo's blindness. He does seem to have a little sight, but not much. He can see some movement and possibly...

Alexis, Thanks for the warm welcome! I was hoping to be able to post more frequently but have been drowning at work lately. Not to mention my new kitty is keeping me very busy. I am slowly increasing his roaming area, now he has my bedroom, bath, hallway and spare bath. Basically the entire...

My entire first floor is "open" so I couldn't baby gate him in any of the rooms. But when we are home, just hubby and I, I spend the bulk of my time in the bedroom watching the tube, so that's why I thought it would be good for him. A babygate would work well at the door then the other cats...

Hi everyone, Thanks for the "welcome" posts! I really appreciate it. I've had a few cats with medical problems but this is my first "blind baby". Thanks for your advice Hissy, it is very helpful. For now I have Cosmo in a very large dog crate in my home office, while I am at work and...

Hi everyone, I am new here, I am a cat lover and have 6 cats. I help with TNR in my neighborhood and volunteer at a local free roam cat only shelter. I just adopted cat, number 6 ( and am now over my 5 cat limit ), he is blind. He is 11 months old and was blinded as a result of a severe...
