    Opinions please - I want to move the litter box

    I have 2 cats, 3 boxes. They only use 2. One they use frequently is in the kitchen and has been for years but I hate it in the kitchen. I have cleaned and redone the spare bedroom and want to move the box in there. It’s quieter and more “private” for them. Anyone ever successfully moved a litter...

    Smudge has now learned to use the printer!!!

    My sorta-Siamese, Smudge, is too smart for MY own good. 🤣 A couple months ago he learned how to turn on the faucet. A couple weeks ago, he learned how to turn in the radio. Tonight’s feat? He has learned how to make the printer print test pages! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ He loves when I print something...

    Castile soap - safe to clean with?

    Sorry if this has been answered, I’ve tried looking. I usually clean with just vinegar and water but I’m looking for something else. I’d like to try Castile soap, with peppermint or lavender. Does anyone use either of those to clean their home? I wouldn’t use it directly on the cat, and I...

    I HATE MICE! Driving my kitty crazy

    I hate mice. Over 30 years I’ve probably dealt with maybe 5 or 7 mice getting into my house. Not a terrible amount but I HATE them. We seal things, keep a clean home, but those little buggers are determined! My poor Smudge has been sitting on the fridge about losing his mind, staring at the...

    Full moon crazies in full force already!

    Oh my, both my cats, Tessa a 3 year old Tonkinese and Smudge, a 1 year old Siamese mix, are VERY affected by full moons. They started two days ago, it’s getting worse, and it will last at least two days after. I’m not looking for advice, just sharing my woe. 🤪 They are currently chasing each...

    Smudge, my little Siamese imposter

    We love our Smudge. He’s definitely not a purebred kitty, but my he looks and acts Siamese! And he talks, talks, talks. 🤣 Some days I think he’s actually conversing with me.

    Cat hates singing???

    Ok this is a weird one. I have two cats. One HATES when I sing. It’s so weird! She’ll climb all over me and bite me, even. And she’s not a biter. The other cat could not care less. I sing pretty well, on key. It’s even if I sing softly, not high pitched, just any singing. It’s the goofiest...

    Need asthma help

    Hi I’ll try to be brief. My Tessa has terrible asthma. Also has feline herpes. She uses fluticasone inhaler as well as albuterol when needed. We live exactly where that wildfire smoke was awful last week (like our air quality was off the chart over 500). Kept Doors closed, AC running, air...

    Full moon crazies?

    Anyone else have cats that seem to be influenced by the full moon? My cats, but especially my Tessa, go BANANAS every month, the day of and for three days after. Am I crazy? Or is this something other folks see in their cats as well?

    Definitely not purebred but I think there’s a Siamese ancestor in there somewhere?

    Meet little Smudge. He is a rescue kitty, probably DSH. His veterinary papers say “Siamese mix”. Based on his behavior and his looks, I’d have to agree. He’s even more vocal than Tessa (my Tonkinese), he jumps on my shoulder, and his eyes glow red at night. 💗 Just curious what everyone here...

    Looking for Introduction Encouragement

    Hello, we have a 3 year old Tonkinese Female, Tessa. About 8 months ago we lost her sister Freya, who she was bonded with. Tessa has been very lonely. We really felt she would benefit from feline companionship as well - as she is very upset any time we are not home. So upon the advice of our vet...

    Some GOOD health news!

    We have a Tonkinese little girl, Tessa, who is 3. She was abandoned and we have had her for just under a year. She came with a host of health quirks, but I have some good news! Tessa has asthma. She was having attacks and even fainted. She was refusing the inhaler and needed steroid shots -...

    Cat Beds for Shelter Friends

    Hi there, as some of you know our Freya Louise crossed the bridge at the end of March. To honor her, Tessa Marie and I started making blankets for kitties in the shelter. It’s been very therapeutic for me 💗We decided to try our hand (or paw) at making beds. Here’s Tessa modeling the first one.

    Is the slow introduction an absolute necessity?

    Hi there, our kitty lost her sister and has been very lonely. However, her behavior has returned to mostly normal. We would like to get her a companion, especially since so many kitties need good homes. However, I do not know if I have the time or patience to do a days-long or weeks-long...

    DMG or FortiFlora

    So my Tessa has a chronic URI (feline herpes we believe). Her vet recommended FortiFlora. I don’t know if it helps much or not. I’ve read here some folks use DMG. Has anyone ever switched from FortiFlora to DMG and noticed a difference? Has anyone ever had success with DMG helping with herpes...

    My dear, sweet Freya and how we will miss her

    I am heartbroken. Late last fall, our family decided to try to find a kitty my son wasn't allergic to. Through a long series of events we found a beautiful pair of Tonkinese up for adoption about 30 minutes away. It was a pair of sisters that had come from the same breeder - but different...

    Good Morning, sorry for another post. I’m considering starting Freya on Miritaz today and am wondering in others’ experiences, how long does the Miritaz take to work? I know each situation is different, just looking for a rough idea. Thank you
