    Arm & Hammer with baking soda litter - changed?

    Bought a few boxes of Arm & Hammer baking soda litter recently, unscented, 28lb box. I use this product all the time, but now it looks like a totally different product... a much darker clay look to it. Are they getting cheap and trying to increase profits, or did they simply forget to put the...

    How do I keep bugs and slugs out of cat food?

    I feed both wet and dry. The ferals only come to eat at night into the wee hours of the morning. I estimate 5-6 ferals come to eat, then leave. I have a roach/water bug problem, but only when it's above 50F. Slugs tend to come out when the ground is wet after it rains and into the bowls...

    Pigeon badly injured

    I feed the birds every morning. Today I saw a pigeon who was not flocking with the others. While he was walking on the ground I noticed he had the feathers and skin on the back of his head neck ripped off. The back of his skull is exposed. What an upsetting sight! I threw extra birdseed out...

    My calico girl pulls out her old nails

    When she is grooming herself my calico girl Patches pulls out her old claws with her front baby corn teeth and spits them out onto the floor. No cat I've had has ever done this. Does anyone here have a cat that does this? I think calico cats are a bit smarter than other cats... just my own...

    My new semi-feral

    Here's my newest semi-feral boy "Milo". He first showed up about 3 weeks ago. Doesn't run away from me anymore, but still won't let me touch him. He's sleeping in the shelter I put on my porch. He's obviously a TNR cat, you can see his tipped ear. Hope he'll let me pet him someday. I also...

    Arm and Hammer litter fragrance free - packaging error - my cat will not use it

    I opened a 40lb box of Arm and Hammer Super-Scoop litter. It was suppose to be the "fragrance free" type. While I was pouring it into Teddy's box this horrible perfume smell hit me and made me gag. The company made a packaging error. He went in the box, but refuses to cover it up because of...

    My neutered male has a love affair with blankets and pillows

    I had my boy Teddy neutered the first week I got him. Had him for 4 months. Now he is biting my sofa throw pillows and cat beds/blankets, making biscuits on them while he is grinding/humping on them. Anyone here know why?

    How many here feed birds?

    I live in an urban neighborhood and every morning I have about 300 pigeons, sparrows, starlings, ravens and doves that come to eat. I feed them wild bird seed, shelled peanuts and stale dry cat food. The peanuts are the first thing that go. I go through 80lbs of bird seed and 10lbs of...

    Fall is the best time...

    For feeding our ferals/strays. I often feed them a night. You can leave the wet food outside... it doesn't go bad as fast because of the colder temps, but it doesn't freeze either. No flies and other bugs and insects to worry about. I also have a problem with slugs getting into my ferals...

    Favorite toys... does color matter?

    I have 3 indoor cats and plenty of toys around the house for each of them. They really love playing with these little toy mice, which come in 3 colors; dark brown, grey and white. They're nothing special, no catnip or sounds, just stuffed toy mice. The interesting thing I noticed is that...

    Keeping bugs out of my shadow ferals food bowls

    I have 2-3 ferals that come at night to eat (I never see them during the day). I put their wet food out as late as possible to try and minimize the summer crawly critters from partaking. The main issue I have around here is these oriental cockroaches... they're all over the place during the...

    Female cats marking their territory?

    My 2 female cats (Patches and Blackie) do not get along. I keep Blackie upstairs most of the time in order to keep the peace. Occasionally Patches will come upstairs to explore. Over the last month I saw Patches urinate on Blackie's pillow bed and found more urine at the window perch area. I...

    Weaning my cats OFF Fancy Feast

    For anyone that feeds FF to their cats, you know FF is like Kitty crack. However, I'm starting to believe FF is doing my cats more harm than good. The phosphate content of FF is way too high. I want to start weaning them off FF for good. Has anyone done this with success? Any type of...

    Not certain if this is the correct part of the forum to post this in, but here goes... My beautiful, majestic boy Buddy was diagnosed with CKD in January 2019. This past Saturday he started throwing up everything he ate or drank. Took him to the vet on Monday morning, they gave him a shot of...

    How Much $ Do You Spend, Per Cat, Per Month?

    I have 3 indoor and 2 outdoor. Indoor: Food + litter = $30 per cat, per month. Outdoor: $15 per cat, per month. That's not including vets bills and/or meds. Senior cats are going to cost a bit more depending on how healthy they are. How about you? Did you ever do the math?

    The After Poop Zoomies!

    Lasts about 5-10 minutes after the poopie has been deposited in litter box. All my cats seem to do this to some degree and it's funny as hell... seeing them zoom around the house, up and down the stairs at 100mph! :flail: :lol: :lol2:

    My Cat Was Sleeping In The...

    WASHER! :fear: Luckily, I looked in there before I turned the water on. This one time I forget to close the lids and she went in there.:doh: Be careful guys and keep those washer and dryer lids closed.
