    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!

    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!

    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?

    Cat cries at bedroom door

    My 10 month old kitten just started crying at the door when we go to sleep. Why is he doing this? My other male cat used to do this all the time. I assumed it was because he was sad because he never leaves my side during the day. However, my kitten is pretty independent. What is causing this?

    How Do You Keep Cats Off Your Counters?

    Our house is pretty 'cat proof'. It's very uncluttered and there are very few decorations that the cats can reach. My kitten however has broken a plate, a picture frame, and almost one other item just today. I don't think I can 'cat proof' my house any further! How do I keep him off things such...
