    Hello! Maine Coon Or Persian....that Is The Question???

    I agree with the folks who've suggested Siberian heritage, and in my opinion one of the strongest signs is her full bushy beast of a tail. I mean look at that thing! :thumbsup::wow:

    Ideal Age To Neuter?

    Hey all! First and foremost I'm sure this is a fairly recurring topic so I apologize if this thread isn't redundant; didn't see one to participate in on the first few pages. I have a 4.5 month old male kitten with a LOT of energy! I know that sooner or later he'll need to be neutered, but I...

    What's Your Rotation Like?

    I have a kitten whom I swear has pica. If it fits in his mouth, it's a potential snack :lol: point is, he's not picky. When I got him he was eating fancy feast tender turkey and I planned to transition him to Blue Buffalo. Thought it might take a day or two but he made it clear he was fine with...

    I Think My Kitten Is A Bobcat.

    Anyone think he could be a pixiebob? As I understand it they aren't particularly widely bred but one of my buddies has an 18 lb one that I would SWEAR is a wild bobcat if he wasn't the laziest cat alive :lol: In any case, I hope he isn't a bobcat. There's a YouTube channel called "Benji the...

    Zuma Zoom Zoom And Her Bengalness

    A lot of the personality traits you've described do certainly sound "Bengaly," but there's lots of other cat breeds that share similar behaviors as well. I think the biggest indicator against any substantial Bengal heritage is something you pointed out yourself: the white chest and mittens; even...

    Maine Coon Or Savannah

    Savannahs seriously seem to be the pitbulls of the cat world: there's certainly some things to consider when caring for one, but the bad reputation some people ascribe to them tends to be rooted more in poor socialization and a new owner's unpreparedness to provide appropriate accommodations...

    Kitten Portion Control?

    Oh yeah, I figured as much! The 3oz is just what he gets wet every day; I've been giving him Blue Buffalo kibble in addition to that, usually around half a cup to a full cup, but I was hesitant that the latter might've been too much until I got responses in this thread. I totally get what you're...

    Maine Coon Or Savannah

    This is a really good point. Savannahs and Bengals are both notorious for struggling to adapt to travel and new environments; mine's four and a half months old and I take him out a few times a week just to get him used to the concept as well as possible. If you aren't able to get one at a very...

    Kitten Portion Control?

    I've tried to give him larger portions to compensate for the lower frequency in feeding times, but I think I'm gonna take your advice. He gets a full 3oz can of blue buffalo kitten wet food every day and an amount of blue buffalo kibble that I've been trying to hammer down to something...

    Game - Do You Own A...?

    Yeah, I'm all about vintage wall decor; paintings, posters, advertisements, etc from bygone eras are one of my favorite things to splurge on. Do you own a VHS player?

    Kitten Portion Control?

    That's what I've been doing the past few weeks. Problem is, it seems like he'll eat everything I give him no matter how much I give him! :lol: Moderation in general tends to be an issue for him; he'll play to the point of exhaustion without realizing how tired he is too. I have to set limits for...

    No; haven't owned one since like 2009. Do you own a Smart TV?

    Kitten Portion Control?

    Hey all! I have a 4.5 month old kitten who has an absolutely voracious appetite. I don't want him to become a grazer for all the health reasons and I don't think he really can be; he will eat any food I put in front of him, no matter how much, what time, or how recently he's eaten. I usually...

    Cheap, But Excellent Dry Food

    I picked up a 5lb bag of Blue Buffalo dry food for 17 bucks at my local pet store the other day. It won't totally break the bank and it's pretty widely acknowledged as one of the better major brands. The one caveat is that it isn't completely carb-free, which is an issue if your cat(s) happen to...

    Favorite Fancy Feast Flavor

    I recently switched my kitten to Blue Buffalo wet & dry, but he used to get the Fancy Feast Gourmet Kitten Tender Turkey and he couldn't get enough of it.

    Kitten Being A Menace

    Are the bites play bites? If so the best way to discourage this behavior is to ignore it-- it's difficult to scold cats in the way you would a puppy; cats couldn't care less if you're mad at them. But if they realize that their actions aren't yielding any food or fun, a lot of the time they'll...
