My cat Pippy will inevitably eat too fast and throw up if we don't feed her by say 8:30 am. Occasionally, we fail at this on the weekends. Today we weren't up till 9:30 and knew she would throw up. And she did. I guess when sleep in we should put her in a room and give her a tiny portion...

So my wife says "I think I know why you have two pairs of sweatpants with discloration in the thighs. I read that when some people sweat, and touch their sweatpants, it can discolor them." I then look down at my beast-covered lap and something clicks.

We recently bought an EquiGroomer, which pulls TONS of hair off our shorthair. He likes it, and doesn't attack. Its been many years since we bothered to try brushing a shorthair. Now that we can . . . is there any point to it, other than that he sort of likes it? I feel like if we capture...

I'm really trying to puzzle out what is going on with my cats. I bought a 16 pound bag of cat food maybe 6 months or so ago. My two share a 5.5 oz can daily with the remainder of their hunger satisfied by dry, and neither are particularly food motivated, so the 16 pounds lasts a long while...

Last night I had insomnia as usual. At 2 am, I decided I wanted a skinny cow ice cream sandwhich. However, our freezer is located in our finished basement where our cats sleep. They dont mind going down there initially. Its part of a ritual where I move their food down there and give them...

I really want a golden or lab retriever puppy. We have two cats, Clyde that is 6 or 7, a fit muscular cat that still plays some and isn't afraid of much, and Pippy, a 3 year old that is still a bit skittish when their is a noise. Three years ago, Clyde adapted to Pippy quickly with minimal...

Escape tonight. Very annoying! We have no cat door, and there is no way to come in if we dont open a door. He is, however, grey, fast and very sneaky. In other words, somone specifically opening a door to call for and look for the cat (which both the wife and I and perhaps my son did) got...

Clyde escaped yesterday without our noticing so was outside for about 4 hours. He used to be indoor/outdoor so it was never a safety issue but we were a bit worried since we didn't even know he got out. It rained hard the last hour or two. When he escapes and we know about it, he is never out...

We usually feed pate and dry food at various times of the day. Recently, I bought some of the "and gravy" cans by mistake, and my perhaps too thin 3 year old cat seems to dig them more than other foods. So with her maybe being too thin, this might well be a permanent switch. Unfortunately...

I have air conditioning, and use it, but nonetheless I've always noticed my cats eat less in the summer. This year it seems particularly striking, with my cats eating maybe 25% less. Just seems like a lot, and I always worry a bit about my scrawny girl cat, who technically might be a tad...

About 3 months ago, we cleared off a 6 foot by 8 inch photo ledge. Basically a mini wall (4 3-4 feet high) separating my kitchen from living room with a ledge top. I don't remember why we did it, but certainly it was annoying when the younger cat would break a frame now and then. Anyway...

Had cats for 25 years now, no real signs of allergies to cats. However, we currently have our first medium hair cat (never had a long hair). I dont know if that actualy matters, since its not the hair that causes allergies, but its the only real difference. She is two, and I had no real signs...

My 2 y.o. cat Pip has always been friendly but skittish. Almost never stays on the lap, but will now cross over me to get to the arm of a chair, and from there she wants to lick my arms. My wife says "just tell her no" but as we all know, its in your volume, the word no itself means nothing...

I've had 6+ cats over the years. One was quite thin as a 1 year old, the vet said he was the "ideal cat weight" even if he felt a bit skinny to us. As a 6 year old, that cat is now long and lean, feels just right. Our other cat though, approaching two, is a whole other thing. She is happy...

Prize if you can beat this one: My cat Pip likes to sit behind me on the chair when I'm working. She is sweet and likes being around people, but is just genetically a tad skittish, and that is the spot she likes. I'll tolerate it for a bit sometimes, and pet her behind my back without...

Here is an interesting one that makes no sense. I'm working from home these days, and my two cats get, and have pretty much always gotten, 4 meals a day. A handful of dry for breakfast, 1/2 can for lunch, 1/2 can for dinner and handful of dry at bedtime in the same bowl with any left over...

Clyde has become completely and totally fearless of any and all door antics we do. Stomping feet, air kicks, he may back up a few feet, but he keeps his eyes on the prize. Last night, we knew we should pick him up, but I was helping my wife, and she had already made him go into evasive mode...

Now that I'm back to work (from home) I'm noticing even more so something I was already aware of, that my cats are desperate to crawl all over me when I first get up and start working from 7-9 am. I try to be especially patient with the skittish one, but work is work, the keyboard is a big no...

She isn't even a jumper or a climber. I can't easily build anything, its too big of a railing and it would be too unsightly. Just hoping she never does it again. She looked a bit confused about what to do up there, so I slowly went to her and got her down. I don't recall if I've ever had a...

Y'all know that cough syrup has been **proven** to do nothing to help a cough in humans right? People continue buying it though. Felliway doesn't have studies large enough to disprove its value, so its not exactly in the same situation. And its plaussible that hormones *could* have an effect...
