    Clingy Cats

    So, Piper (thus far) isn't really a lap cat, but lately she has been especially clingy and wants to be touching me at all times and she cries out if she can't find me. Any other clingers?

    Jumping

    I have mentioned before that Piper doesn't really seek high places... which is still true. That said, she has been jumping on the couches and beds lately. By jumping, I mean, she puts her front paws on the couch or bed and then pushes with her back legs while pulling with her front legs. She has...

    Not Amused?

    Anyone else's cat get this look like they really wish you would just forget about taking pictures? I swear Piper looks like I've totally inconvenienced her by taking some pictures of her pretty little face. :lol:

    Piper's Road Trip

    On Thursday, 11/15, we lost power due to an ice storm and it was out until Sunday (11/18) afternoon. On Saturday we had to make a decision about whether or not to leave early for my parent's house for Thanksgiving, which is a 10 hour drive away. We decided to go ahead and leave since at that...

    Chicken Allergy?

    I suspect Piper may have an allergy or sensitivity to chicken. She seems to get sick every time I give her something with chicken in it. She recently had a severe GI reaction with loose, bloody stool after eating a pate with chicken as a main ingredient. She can definitely handle salmon, so I...

    Kids And Cats

    Piper is still new here, but when she showed up at our house it was my 6 year old son who found her. He has autism and unexpectedly finding her in the garage peaked his anxiety. She has been with us for 3.5 weeks or so and after a rough start, he has gradually gotten used to her. Now, he's...

    New Cat Not Looking To Get Up High?

    I am new to cat ownership, so I'm not really sure how to word that question! So, Piper has been with us for 3 weeks now. She's never been skittish or nervous... she walked into my house like she owned the place the day she wandered up after living life on her own for what was clearly a pretty...

    Stray To Household Royalty?

    I have been learning all about cats since Piper adopted me and I am fascinated by all of the variation. Piper is sweet, but not overly affectionate. She follows me around meowing at me when she wants food (which is almost always). When I'm monitoring her and my exuberant 4 year old daughter's...

    Giardia

    Piper the friendly stray was diagnosed with giardia and given medication today. I am not surprised, and she is taking the medication without issues. My question would be, is there anything else I need to do to be sure she doesn't get reinfected (if that's even a thing)? I haven't dealt with...

    How To Describe My Cat

    Hello all! I am new to cat ownership (or being owned by a cat?). Either way, I know a little, but I am definitely still learning. This kitty (who we named Piper) adopted us when she wandered into our garage on a cold day. After no success in finding her family and an unsuccessful home...

    Underweight Stray

    We recently adopted a cat who we named Piper. She is beautiful and sweet, but extremely underweight. I am currently feeding her what she was being fed by the lady who took her after I found her in my garage (after several unsuccessful attempts to find her family - she was obviously someone's...

    Hello! New Cat Owner Here...

    Hello! This little beauty showed up in my garage one afternoon severely underweight, infested with fleas and ticks and looking to get out of the cold. I gave her a place to stay and someone helped me treat her for the fleas/ticks and deworm her. We searched for her family and never could find...
