    How to train a Velcro cat? I'm losing my mind.

    I REALLY appreciate everyone's advice. I got a bed to sit next to me, and I'm trying to be consistent with moving him over to it. I now need to find toys the kids can play with him with. :)

    How to train a Velcro cat? I'm losing my mind.

    Thank you. I have thought about the bed idea on the couch. He actually has a non-biological 'sister', lol, that he adores. They are 6 months apart in age, and have been together for the last 9 years. He snuggles her, but he prefers me. I guess I should be honored, lol.

    How to train a Velcro cat? I'm losing my mind.

    So I know this may upset some people, but I'm trying to do my best with the situation, so please be kind. I have a cat that is obsessed with being on my lap. I've owned him since 1.5 months old, and he is 9 now. I can't take it anymore. Between struggling with health issues, stress, and very...

    Can I get some parakeets?

    Thank you! Those are all great things to consider. Oh, yes.....I have already thought about the seeds and feathers everywhere. However, my part time job is vacuuming with all the pets we already have.....lol.

    Can I get some parakeets?

    Hello! We had a death in the family, and their pet birds need a home. I have considered taking these parakeets in. I have experience with birds, but not with cats and birds. I have two cats. They are 7 and 8 years old. Would I be able to have parakeets with these cats? I obviously wouldn't let...

    Cat is breaking and dumping everything!

    Hello, I have a 3 year old who won't stop breaking everything. I don't have many decorations out because of this, but he is still finding things to knock over. He knocks over cups with and without lids, he knocks over candles, pans, etc. Anything he can, he will. He's breaking everything! There...

    Christmas with Cats.....?

    I haven't put a Christmas tree up for 4 years because of my cat. My first two did ok, but I'm not convinced this new one will. He will probably eat it. I also now have a flocked tree. The one with snow. It's non toxic, but if they eat too much it can clog their intestines because it's saw dust...

    My cat is obsessed with me!

    My cat is a little too dependent on me. I can not sit down without him being on me. It's impossible to get him to leave me alone. No matter how many times I set him down, he comes back immediately. He uses all of his strength to stay on me. When he sees me he cries. I have other cats. They do...

    What houseplants will cats avoid?

    I love house plants, but very few do my cats ignore. They either eat them, or they chew on them, killing the leaves. Do you know of any houseplants that my cats will just leave alone? Thank you!

    Dinner time craziness!

    I'm ready to pull my hair out. I have three cats. I feed them twice a day. They all eat in separate places so I know they eat. In the past, my vet said they were fed enough, and they all have very healthy weights. When I go to feed them, they lose their minds! They trip me, I almost step on...

    Cats have become brave about stealing food.....

    They eat dry food! I do not give them wet food. I don't give my cats free fed kibble because one of my cats is overweight (not one of the two doing this though), and I wouldn't be able to keep my dog out of it. I will read those articles to make sure I am feeding them enough. Also, what would...

    Cat acts like he doesn't recognize the other cats

    Good point! Thank you. I am not grooming or shampooing him, and they are all 100% indoor cats. Maybe there is a smell I am missing that he is associating with him. This little one is very affected by smells and cleanliness. He is an EXTREMELY CLEAN cat, and he gets upset if they others don't do...

    Cats have become brave about stealing food.....

    For years our cats have just sat next to us and 'begged'. However, recently they have become EXTREMELY brave. They will just walk right up to your plate and steal food quickly. No matter how many times I push them away they try to do it again! lol. I have three cats and two of them started to...

    Cat acts like he doesn't recognize the other cats

    I have a two year old who has lived with us since he was two months old. He gets along with the other cats in the house. Twice this month he has looked at one of the other cats we have and acts like he doesn't recognize him. He watches terrified from the other side of room. His tail puffs up...

    Cat dumps cups all the time!!!

    @LTS3 , he does like water! He tries to get in the shower, but the problem is he gets ear infections, and I don't know if the water is causing it.

    Do you think these toys would be good for my bored cat?

    I think my 1 year old cat is bored. Do you guys think these toys would help? I would rotate them. Have you guys had good luck with stuff like this, or do they get bored with them fast?

    Best blanket material that cats won't destroy?

    My cats like to sleep on our spare bed. I'm trying to figure out what type of blanket would be the best. I have some fuzzy ones, but they like to knead them and the hair sticks to them bad. Do you think a quilt would be good? Or do you know of any other good options?
