Any recommendations for certain brands/types/materials that have worked for y'all? My cat is 4 and has always worn a breakaway collar, and I've never noticed issues on her before. However today when I was checking to be sure it still fit right, I realized one section of her neck is completely...

My cat likes the toys that make noise, like a battery operated squeaking sound when it is moved. She plays with one similar to the pictures someone else posted, but with three tracks stacked on top - she plays with that one every day, all by herself.

As for scratchers, I demonstrate for her. She will usually copy me and give them a scratch or two. The cardboard floor ones she really likes, but not many others. She scratched the upright ones once with each paw, to show she understood, and then never touched them again.

My cat likes to jump into the tub after I turn off the shower and try to catch the last few water drips. I started turning on the faucet really low for her to play in every now and again.

Be VERY VERY careful with any oils, just because they are safe for "animals" doesn't mean they are safe for cats, many essential oils are highly toxic for them.

My cat does better when I give her hairball treats, I've given her iams brand as well as greenies. I don't think they're grain free, but since I only give her a bit a day, I don't worry about it too much. Peas are a carbohydrate, like grains. They have protein that is good for humans, but cats...

I've stepped on my cat's foot, hard enough she meowed and ran off. Of course I apologized and gave her some of her favorite treat. She was fine, I threw toys and watched her carefully for signs her paws hurt. I scooped her up and touched them, to make sure they weren't sensitive to touch. She...

I know, 3 weeks feels like a long time. You have had enough time to know you love the cat, so your cat should love you by now too, right? :sigh: apparently not. Hang in there!:vibes:

So I celebrate Chirstmas eve with some family, then Christmas with other family. I'm answering for both days. Christmas Eve my grandma made almond butter toffee with chocolate over it, that was the best. But the lemon chocolate chex thing was good too, kind of like puppy chow but with white...

Here's what I know: You don't want to restrict too much too fast, of any type of food. It can cause serious issues. I've read it is easier to maintain a healthy weight with wet food, maybe since he is vomiting it up, start with just one spoonful a day so he gets used to it. Maybe he is just...

I don't prevent fleas, but I decided to use revolution once I found them. I did it one time and haven't seen fleas since, this was several months ago. I also did some cleaning, although the vet told me revolution is pretty good even if you don't clean much.

I've seen some eco friendly ones at craft shows, and you might find some good stuff on Etsy that is at least plastic free.

I'm happy to hear Tova has found a happy home! I've heard that the worst wet food is still better than the best dry food, so I would take a little comfort in that. Just because you don't feed a raw diet doesn't mean your cat won't be healthy. Remember, some cats are picky and they might not like...

First off, if the neosporin hasn't improved the situation, I would stop using it. There is mixed advice about using it on cats, some sources says it is fine for short term use and some day it should never be used in cats. In general, I don't use any human medicines on kitties because many of...

He ducked as his shoulder slammed into the brick facade of the building and he crashed through the wall, rolling to his feet as masonry showered the area. Your second sentence sounds better and is correct. I would recommend leaving it as is or sugest they break it up into two sentences so it is...

I'm not sure about a lot of these, but I have a little experience. First off, there is an emergency vet in the area that is very friendly, and if I'm really concerned about something when the regular vet isn't open, I call and discuss the situation with them. I did this when my cat started...

First off, I disagree that fancy feast is like McDonald's compared to higher end stuff. Many of the recommended brands I see throughout the site that are twice the price of FF include ingredients like vegetables, berries, carragean, and wheat or corn products. Those are the ingredients that...

I like that stocking idea! This will be Firefly's first Christmas and I'm an awesome procrastinator and it hasn't crossed my mind. I'm planning on getting her a cat tree soon anyway. For Halloween I got her a clearance wand the day of.

I avoid peas because I have also heard that companies will include protein from peas in their guaranteed analysis, even though cats can't process that type of protein in a way that makes it beneficial to them.

Lol I know, the squeaking bunny is locked out of the bedroom at night. Firefly doesn't usually seek out her kickeroo anymore, but if I wave it around and toss it, she will attack it.
