    One Single Flea

    Does anyone have a quick trick for catching, grabbing and killing one flea from a kitten without bathing him in liquid detergent water? We just adopted one of our foster kittens. He went back to the shelter for neuter and came back today with fleas. We've given tons of flea baths for our...

    Foster Kitten Purrs Very Loudly Nonstop

    Hello all! We recently picked up three 4-week old foster kittens. One of them purrs non-stop and VERY loudly. I have had many foster kittens but none purred this loud and this much. It's sometimes unsettling. He also suckles a lot - my shirt, my neck, the blanket, his food bowl - which is an...

    Mold Growing On Cat Furniture?!?

    Our whole family, including cats, have been sneezing up a storm the past few weeks. The cats have been scratching their ears a lot and grooming themselves more than usual. We chalked it up to allergy season, kept all the windows closed and bought another Dyson air purifier which helped. None of...

    Occasional/random vomiting and/or diarrhea?

    Hello everyone, Was wondering if anyone else out there experiences something like this with their cat(s). We feed our 3 year old cat pretty much the same rotation of food and are very careful about what we feed and how much of it. However, every 3-4 months, totally out of the blue, she will...

    Cat is very nervous after earthquake

    We experienced an earthquake in SoCal shortly after 1am this morning. It was a 5.2 so not the biggest one but big enough to startle all of us awake. It was our cat's first earthquake, and when I went to her room to check on her seconds after the shake, she wasn't in her bed but crouching in the...

    Any good sodium-free canned food?

    We feed our cat mostly homemade cooked and canned wet food with a little raw and maybe a teaspoon of kibble as a snack. She loves best the plain meat without any sodium or flavoring that's contained in store bought foods. I'm shocked by the sodium content and 'flavors' found in most pre-made...

    Has owning your cat(s) triggered any unpleasant memories from your childhood?

    My parents and I live 30 minutes apart in the same city. Last year, we adopted our beautiful and playful 2 year old cat - a year old when we got her. She lives with my parents because they have way more space than I do, and there's a horrible and noisy construction that's been going on next door...

    Has you cat ever over-aggressively kicked and threw around litter?

    Our cat is usually very mild mannered and very gently covers up her business after using the litter box. However, twice in the past few weeks, she has made a complete mess - litter kicked around everywhere, her scooper (which clips on to the side of the box wall) was knocked off and thrown...

    Greenies dental treats

    Hi, I read a thread from 3 years ago about Greenies treats being terrible for cats and the articles that backed the claim, but what has your personal experience been like with your cats eating Greenies?  I've done my own experimenting with our cat, and we don't give her treats very often (maybe...

    Catit 2.0 Wellness Center: The Good? The Bad?

    Our cat LOVES it when we groom and massage her with her brush and comb (we do it every morning after her breakfast), so we thought about getting the Catit Wellness Center so she can brush herself throughout the day. Has anyone gotten it for their cats? Opinions? This is the newest version we're...
