Kibbitz and Schmutz

I am wondering if my kitten, Kibbitz, is going to be like this as well. She is only 11 weeks old, have had her for 3 weeks. She has never been fed from a people plate, she doesn't get people food. She and her "sister" Schmutz, are being trained to come with cat treats. Kibbitz comes running when...

BlueMoon, the stray I adopted and had for 18 years, adored my daughter. She would sit on her lap, sleep with her, be carried by her. I was allowed to feed her, clean her litter box and bathe her for fleas. She could not tolerate my presence for much of anything else. My daughter, however, grew...

I used copious quantities of Nature's miracle, which uses enzymes. You have to really soak the carpet and be patient. It takes a while for the enzymes to work. Soak it well enough to get to the pad below. I found that if there was any residue of odor, I retreated with another soaking. I did get...

I have used a black light to see where the cat peed. It worked really well. My daughter's cat was peeing on paper and when she was a teenager, there were tons of papers.

So just putting my two cents in, yes much better for the cats to be inside only if they will tolerate that. I had a cat for 18years that was originally a stray. She wanted to be outside. When I found her outside an apartment complex in 1999 she had obviously just weaned kittens. I took her in...

There are two litter boxes, one in the "main house" and one in the addition to the house which is 5 steps down. The one in the addition is just one room from the bedroom. Kibbitz was in the room with the second litterbox less than 5 minutes before she peed on the bed last night. I clean the...

Hi everyone, My fiance and I adopted two kittens about 10 days ago. They are currently 9 1/2 and 10 1/2 weeks old, different litters, probably same daddy cat. They are adjusting really well to home life, and have bonded well with each other. The younger one is part Maine Coon and talks all the...
