    Any Collar Reccomendations?

    hi all, This is fortuitous! I wrote yesterday a post on a different forum asking the same question... I’ll also try Beastie band. Our cat has lost three collars so I’ll try and see how this one fares! Philly

    Seresto From Petcaresupplies.com Or Other Sites

    Good to know that they can go on sale and the price seems reasonable. I like the idea of contacting Bayer to see if they are an approved vendor. As for flea collar or not. I will tend to use it esp with the added information that indicates that seresto's chemicals and methodology are better...

    Seresto From Petcaresupplies.com Or Other Sites

    Hi All, I'll need to buy a new flea/tick collar for our cat. The SPCA and vet both recommended the flea/tick collar that lasts eight months from seresto. I've seen it priced at amazon/chewy/petco for a little less than 60 bucks. BUT there are ebay sites at 25 and a site called...

    Birds, Chipmunks And Summer Hydration. My Summer Issues

    Hi All, Our stray is continuing to rule the household with an iron paw. She is very healthy and happy. A couple of minor questions. She has gone a killing spree of chipmunks (just walks around proud and deposits them) and birds. Now with the birds, she DOES NOT want to give them up. She hisses...

    Cat Loves Playing And Chewing On Silicone Cat Can Lids. Is That Ok?

    HI, I bought silicone lids for the half empty cat food containers and when not in use I leave them out. Our cat LOVES to play with them. I'm sure some of it is the smell but also she proudly carries them around and brings them to us. I also believe the three grooves ( for different size cans)...

    Litter Box How Often Does One Replace The Whole Content?

    thank you for the feedback. I probably clean the box six times a day. The kitten is very productive on all fronts :-) ... I like the idea once every couple of weeks to empty the box and clean it; then refill it with the existing litter. Thank for all the input, Philly

    Litter Box How Often Does One Replace The Whole Content?

    Hi, yes, I use clumping litter. Thank you for the articles. Good, that is what I wanted to do (from a waste perspective) but was worried that it might not be recommended for some reason. THanks, Philly

    Litter Box How Often Does One Replace The Whole Content?

    Hi All, Our cat took to her new litterbox and we have not had any accidents or issues. When I first filled it, I liked to have it filled more or less to the top. It is located in an unused bathtub so the mess is less of an issue. I've "topped it off" a couple of times without an issue. There is...

    Can Wet Cat Food Be Spoiled (brand New Tin)?

    Thank you for the very quick replies.. I agree, on closer inspection it is probably fat! No the can was not damaged. Thanks, I’ll mix it today and see if she still doesn’t like it. Philly

    Can Wet Cat Food Be Spoiled (brand New Tin)?

    hi All, I’ve been experimenting with different brands and flavors. My cat did not respond/eat Instinct Original Real Beef the first time around. I learned from these forums I should mix previously liked products to introduce new flavors. So a week later I was going to try the beef again. When...

    How To Introduce Toys And Which Ones ?

    I got her a taco filled with cat nip, a ball with a bell inside and a 45 degree scratching board with some holes and balls inside to play with. I agree with the general thread, out some out and she will get intrigued if bored. I had not thought of her (of course) not understanding toys! The...

    Hi all, I've been borrowing from a neighbor their pet carrier for the last week and I like it. Even more my cat likes it! Since I know we will have to travel a couple of times I was looking in getting that model. The problem is I can't find the 16 inch which according to their site they still...

    How To Introduce Toys And Which Ones ?

    Hi, As some have read elsewhere I have a new stray. I was wondering how to engage her with toys? She has energy and once in while will like to play with hand or likes to run around and "chase" me. I bought a couple of toys and she seems more scared than anything. I also don't want to "force"...

    Bulk Purchase Or Other Tips For Buying Wet Cat Food...

    Hi All, I've been shopping around for different brands and lines to see what my new stray kitten likes. Up until now I've mostly done samplers or what the local pet chains offer in single cans. I read up on some of them and like the instinct brand. I don't mind spending money but I don't like...

    Spaying A New Stray (cost And Other Questions)

    I've looked around and the prices REALLY vary. I also struggle with the preop visit most vets want. I believe they are trying to be sure that the cat is healthy enough but the spay clinics charge the same amount as vets do just for the preop. I've decided to go to the humane society and double...

    New Stray Kitten, Can I Feed It Any Kitten Food?

    HI all, the kitten is doing well. I've gone with the instinct brand since that has gotten very high reviews. I might try some cheaper varieties down the road since she still seems to eat anything :) . I appreciate the feedback on holding back on some proteins and also changing up textures :) .

    New Stray Kitten, Can I Feed It Any Kitten Food?

    Thank you all for the support and information. I'll certainly keep the wet>dry in mind when purchasing. And the common saying might not be a 100% accurate but it is a good rule of thumb. I certainly will check out those links as well as the reviews I saw on catfooddb
