    Multiple cats - share a toothbrush or each get their own?

    OK, this is possibly a crazy question, because obviously it would be gross for us to share our toothbrushes with someone or have our human children share a toothbrush.... but I mean, these are cats. They share food & water and I've even seen them eat each other's barf (while I'm running crazily...

    Ac broke down should i worry about the cats?

    According to the vets in China, a/c is REALLY bad for cats and dogs. They used to really sternly warn me to not use the a/c, especially after anything like a spay or neuter. Obviously, I think they're all idiots - a/c is not bad for animals, otherwise all the cats and dogs in the American south...

    Kitten With Cerebellar Hypoplasia

    Look up Cerebellar Hypoplasia Cats and Kittens on Facebook. It's a closed group, so you have to request to join, but there's no reason why they wouldn't admit you, since you've got two CH kitties. They've been a wealth of information to me. I'm not sure how old your kittens are, but he will...

    Mousse / Whipped Texture

    Does anyone know of an affordable mousse textured wet cat food? That is, one that is very very smooth? Or do you know what I could add to pate cat food to make it more smooth? I experimented with some and found that whipping egg whites and then mixing with pate worked to give us the texture we...

    When To Give Dewormer?

    The eggs can pass in the feces. If they never left a host's body then I don't think they'd be one of the most prevalent intestinal parasites, because the only way to transmit them would be to eat a dead animal while the eggs were still viable. From the research I've done tonight, roundworm eggs...

    When To Give Dewormer?

    Thanks. That seems like it kills adult worms then.

    When To Give Dewormer?

    Some worm medication only kills adult worms. If she just ingested eggs within the last 12 hours, she wouldn't have adult worms. If it doesn't keep killing them continuously, then it wouldn't do any good. I looked on Revolution's website but I can't find any info on what life stage it kills or...

    When To Give Dewormer?

    I just brought home a foster puppy who had some very serious injuries and can't walk much. She's also terrified of humans. I was assured she didn't have worms, but I'm paranoid, so gave her deworming medication anyway. Apparently I'm not paranoid enough, because, just going on the claim from the...

    Anyone Know Of Dog Adoption Sites Or Groups?

    Sorry if this isn't the right place for this... but does anyone know of a forum, website, facebook group, etc. where I can try to find a forever family for a dog? I've always been a cat owner, not a dog owner, so I don't have any experience with dog related groups. But I'm a member of an animal...

    Help For Spraying Cat.

    He may have been fixed when he was older. I've heard that if they're fixed after they've already started spraying, they're much more likely to continue the behavior even after they're fixed. That could even be why he was put out from his original home. Or, he could have been spraying just...

    Landlord Made Me Remove Cat's Second Litter Box

    Ten days isn't that long - cats can remember for years. I had a genius cat that I taught to use a bell on my bedroom door when I was a teenager - ring it to go out. I only showed it to her once and she used it for about a year till I took it down. Years later (seriously,like 10 years later), I...

    I feel like you should have put "agitation" or at least "anger" on the list. I don't consider frustration OR aggression to be the same as agitation, but those are the closest things on the list.

    Vacuum Idea For Cat Litter

    I wonder though, are the current Dyson's as good as the one you bought 15 years ago? I'm finding nothing is made to last like it used to be - and it's not just me, I've read lots of articles and seen lots of news stories about it. I mean, my first cell phone that I got in 2002 lasted me until...

    Moving My Cat Internationally

    Oh, P.S. I just put the litter in a large ziploc style bag. I didn't actually carry as much as I usually put in a litter box, but there's only so much I can fit in my carry-on. I tossed it after the last use as it wasn't needed anymore.

    Moving My Cat Internationally

    You can buy a portable litterbox on Amazon, and probably Chewy, Walmart and others as well. It folds up so you can put it in your carry-on. I'm not crazy about it - when unfolded mine is still crimped in at the places where it folded. I even used mine to store books and papers and other random...

    Moving My Cat Internationally

    Maozer, I've successfully brought two cats from China to the USA in the last 2.5 months. I'll be taking my third when I finally move in a few months (I had to take them separately because China only allows 1 cat per passport at a time.) Other than the fact that I had to buy plane two extra plane...

    Recommendations For Helping Cat Overcome "losing" Siblings?

    I want to start by saying, my cat didn't actually lose her siblings, but she doesn't know that. I adopted 3 cats while living in China, but because of Chinese regulations I can only take one cat out at a time. I took the first cat out in February and I took the second on April 1st. The final...

    Wet Food = Loose Stools?

    Hi all! I've always fed my cats half wet and half dry food, mostly because of financial reasons. I'm in the middle of moving from China back to America and my mom has been taking care of 2 of my 4 cats. One loves wet food and will steal it from my other cats. I normally prevent this from...

    Teething Kitten And Teeth Care In General

    Also to add, it's normal to have a little blood when they lose a tooth. I've read that they usually swallow them, but I've currently got 3 cats under 2 years (the youngest is 9 months old) and I found teeth with all three, often around the food bowl. At least two of mine also slowed down on...

    Teething Kitten And Teeth Care In General

    This is a good video about how to start brushing your cat's teeth. I love this guy's channel, actually. Even if I'm already familiar with what he's saying, he just seems like the nicest guy ever! Makes me want to move to Canada so I can have a vet who truly cares about my cats, lol.
