    We are now catless

    For the first time in over 25 years we have no cats to share our home with. We have had as many as 5. Over the past 3 years we have lost cats to old age/cancer/etc. Our last cat had to be put to sleep a couple of weeks ago. It has been very hard for me. I "see" him around the house every...

    Cat walks around the house meowing very loudly

    One of our cats, Lexi, is 13 years old. She has become deaf within the past year. Over the last few months she has started walking around the house during the day meowing very loudly. Fortunately, she does not do this at night. I thought maybe she was meowing because she was hungry. She...

    We have landscape lights all along the sidewalk from our driveway to our front door. I change the bulbs in them for various holiday seasons. In early October the white bulbs were replaced with orange and purple bulbs. This past weekend, the orange and purple bulbs were replaced with red...

    Our Clyde is such a.....Clyde!

    Clyde is 10 years old, yet he still behaves like a kitten. He loves the plastic balls with a bell in them that Walmart sells. Every night, as soon as we turn out the lights in the bedroom, he finds one of the balls (there must be 20 of them scattered around the house) and starts playing with...

    Halloween 2019 And Cats

    Summer has come to an end. That means fall, and fall means Halloween. This will be our first year to have a Halloween Tree. We put down white shag rugs under our Christmas Trees. When I got one of the rugs out for the Halloween Tree, Clyde and Loki went nuts. I guess they...

    Does Your Cat Trill?

    Our cat Clyde often trills when he is active (playing, running, jumping). His trill reminds me of tribbles from Star Trek.

    Cat Water Consumption

    I wasn't sure if this is the correct forum for my question. It is about nutrition, but water intake not food. We have a Catit Flower Water Fountain. If you are familiar with them, you will notice that I have extended the stem of the flower so that the water travels further. Our 2 girls who...

    Are Your Cats Interested In The Dishwasher?

    Dishwashers are very interesting to our cats. When our cats were kittens they just had to check out the dishwasher. :kitty: Loki when he was about 6 months old: Bonnie (about 8 months) & Clyde (about 18 months): I've never seen Lexi climb onto the dishwasher door.

    Checking Out The Kitchen Sink

    Here are Bonnie and Clyde checking out our kitchen sink... Bonnie likes to drink from the faucet, but Clyde can't figure out how to do it. He just sticks his head in the water and lets it run over his head.

    Do You Have A "cat Wall"?

    In our home we have a "cat wall" where we hang cat-related signs. We also have our Kit-Cat Clock on this wall. In the middle is a painting our first cat, Cocoa. That is his collar on top of the frame. Our daughter surprised us by having a local artist paint it. I recently had problems with...

    Just Registered On Thecatsite Today
