I have non-toxic plants, but even so, I hang them from the ceiling. Even if they aren't deadly to the cat, the cat is still deadly to them.    Oh, and I give little sticks to the cats to chew on. Tree sticks and bully sticks (normally given to dogs). If they have the urge to chew, why not let them?

If your furnace/AC unit is also in your basement, then it's blowing cat litter air throughout your entire house. For me, the trick was filters. Filters everywhere. Get a good furnace filter (replace it regularly, perhaps even more often than they recommend) and get vent filters, too. I bought a...

He's not constipated, as he's been urinating and defecating normally. I'm not stimulating them because they're old enough to go on their own. They're both gaining well, according to the weight chart for kittens I have. They're eating the right amount, too.  Last week was Thanksgiving, so I was...

Yes, she is flame point

I've been suggesting people adopt them in pairs, but of course not everyone wants to. I'm adopting two and my parents are adopting two. Someone else is adopting one (that person lives with another cat, so that could be good, depending on the other cat), so there's one left that hasn't found a...

I have a litter of orphan kittens that I estimate are about 8 weeks old (they are weaned). I have homes lined up for most of them, so now I'm wondering at what age I should rehome them. I know 8 weeks is the minimum and some people prefer to wait til 12 weeks, or some time in between. My...
