One of my cats, a domestic short hair, sheds quite a bit and I feel like the Greek mythological character Sisyphus pushing a boulder up a hill when it comes to vacuuming. When I attempt to brush him, he resists. He doesn't vocalize but he'll swat at and try to bite the brush and move away...

I currently have a PetSafe Drinkwell water fountain for my cats. I've had it for about 5 years and feel it's time for a change. What I don't like about my current fountain is that it's a hassle to clean. Requiring it to be taken apart with various parts needing cleaning. I'm looking for one...

Here's Oliver and Cali intently watching a squirrel.

I'm curious for the who live in the U.S. and have opted to have your cat's teeth cleaned, what was the total cost? I asked because yesterday I took both my cats to the vet for their annual wellness exam and the vet noted quite a bit of tartar build up on both cats' teeth. She recommended a...

One of my cats is due for her annual wellness exam this month. The other cat was due for his exam this summer but I've been putting it off. It looks like the best thing to do is to take them both at once to the same appointment. In your experiences have you found that most vets and animal...

Yesterday morning I had to take one of my cats to the vet as an emergency. He managed to get a hold of one those lickable treats that come in those long foil pouches. He ended up ingesting some of the packaging and then had coughed up or vomited some blood with pieces of the foil mixed in. The...

For a long time I've been using Fresh Step Ultra unscented litter for my cats. However, since around the fall, it's been nearly impossible to find. Chewy.com, where I usually got it from gave my the option of being notified by email when the product is available again but still have not heard...

I took my 3 year old cat (Cali) to the vet this morning for her annual checkup. Everything turned out normal except the vet found a little tartar buildup on her teeth. The vet gave me a 30 day supply of Dentees dental chews. The instructions were to give her one per day. For those her are...

Hi, I'm just curious to see how everyone is procuring food and litter for their cats during these times. I was at the supermarket Saturday, but didn't bother venturing down the pet aisle since I usually order such stuff online. Therefore, I had no idea if the shelves were stocked or not...

That is, if you were to suffer a sudden illness or trauma and had to be hospitalized or incapacitated for a period of a few days or longer, how would your cats be cared for. Especially for those who live alone. I ask because over the weekend I was hospitalized with an acute illness. The only...

I have been using Fresh Step Ultra Unscented cat litter since I first got my older cat over two years ago and never really noticed any issues. However, it seems like the last couple or so boxes has been producing a lot of dust. Every time I scoop the litter, it produces a noticeable cloud of...

I have a two year old cat (Cali) and a kitten (Oliver) around 5 1/2 months. We've had the kitten since May and for a while kept the kitten isolated in one section of the house. This made feeding simple since both the cat and kitten were fed in separate isolated areas of the house. Just this...

I have a couple of those chaser/wand toys with feathers attached among the many toys for my two cats. The problem I've noticed with these toys is that the feathers tend to easily become loose, especially with rough play. My concern is this may cause a choking hazard or other problems if...

I've been a long time owner of cats for nearly my entire life. However, all my cats were solitary. It's only been the past few weeks that I've had my first experience with owning more than one cat. My resident cat Cali a two year old spayed female has been my only cat since late August 2017...

I adopted Oliver nearly two weeks ago. He is now around 14 weeks old. He is identified as a Domestic Short Hair. This morning I took him to the vet for his exam and vaccinations. I forget if it was the vet or the tech who commented that he looks part Maine Coon. Personally I don't see it but...

It looks like I'll soon be adopting a 12 week old male kitten to join my 2 year old resident female cat whom I've had for almost two years. The new kitten will initially be isolated in a separate room. I plan on doing a gradual introduction starting with scent swapping. Eventually it will get...

How does your cat or cats greet you when you get home from work or school? Cali usually spends most of the day in one of the room upstairs on her tree or perch looking out the windows or taking a nap. When I come in the door, often I'll hear a muffled thud as she jumps of her tree or perch...

I got my cat a scratching board which came with a little bag of catnip that one is suppose to sprinkle on the board to make it more attractive for the cat. Last night I decided to give her a little bit of the catnip on its own. I put a pinch of it on the floor. The cat walked up to it and...

I'm just curious as to how your cat(s) behave at the vet. I'm not talking about emergencies or urgent visits when the cat may be in distress, but rather routine visits. A few weeks ago I took my cat to the vet for a general wellness exam. I had taken her a few times when she was a kitten for...

My cat has an upcoming wellness exam in the next few days. The vet suggested I bring a stool sample. How do i store it? Could I just simply place it in a plastic sealable sandwich bag? It's the best thing I have at home at the moment. Also I use clumping litter for my cat. I'll try to get...
