    Is Oscar part Maine Coon?

    Long story short Oscar and his brother (a long haired tabby) came to my mother and I as 3 week old kittens that we bottle fed. Somewhere down the line he became my brother’s cat and now he’s 17-20lbs of pure black floof. Interestingly, he has long flyaway fur at the base of each ear giving him...

    Messy eater?

    Ollie has always been a messy eater. He basically just grabs a mouthful of kibble at a time and as he chews pieces fall out of his mouth. Is there a special bowl or anything I can use to keep him from being so messy?

    Cat running around and panting heavily?

    My short haired silver and white tabby cat Ollie is panting heavily. I can hear him across the room. His breathing is kind of rapid. He goes from one spot to the next, rolling around and grooming and can’t seem to settle down. He also plays in spurts with my dad’s dog. I live with my dad and he...

    Over eager kitten plays too hard?

    My kitten Ollie plays all the time, which is to be expected, he’s a kitten after all, but I’m finding his playfulness to be a little painful. He’s been without mom and siblings long enough, I think, that he didn’t get taught kitty manners by them. Especially since he’s taken to playing with my...

    How to teach my kitten to use his scratching box?

    Ollie is about 6-8 weeks old and I’m trying to teach him to use his cardboard scratching box. It came with a small bag of catnip so I tried sprinkling that on it but he just ignores it. As declawing is a barbaric thing to do, I want him to know he has places where he can scratch that aren’t the...

    Any Jackson Galaxy fans?

    Any Cat Mojoholics in the house? I’m a huge fan of his! Watch his show when I can and subscribed to his YouTube channel. He just has an amazing ability to know how a cat thinks in a variety of situations. His expertise has helped me better understand cats and why they do what they do. It’s like...

    Hello from Ollie and myself!

    Hello! I’m brand new to this forum and Ollie is still sort of new to the world. He’s a 5-8 week old silver grey tabby and I’m pretty sure he is a “he”. I’m not 100% though as I’ve had trouble sexing kittens in the past, but I believe I have the hang of it now! Am I right? Also, a picture of his...

    5-8 week old kitten with fleas!

    I just rescued a tiny grey tabby kitten from the streets I’ve named Ollie and of course, he has fleas. Since he’s around 5-8 weeks old he’s not old enough for conventional flea treatments so I’ve done two Dawn dish soap baths and a thorough combing with a flea comb. I think I’m making headway! I...
