Ghost had a heart murmur detected today. The vet didn't give us a level but he will go for an ultrasound. We don't have a date yet as labs etc are closed because of the storms. So he's likely had this problem since we got him in July. He's young so it could still be congenital or acquired...

Hey all! This is just an interesting thread. Anyone else who also uses AAC buttons with their cats can chime in too! What are AAC buttons AAC buttons: recordable buttons that you record a word on, and then teach non-verbal beings to use. First used with people, but not also widely used with...

Double cat cuddles is a first in our home! Grateful for this moment. Magnus and Ghost look happy too! Feel free to share your cat cuddle photos too! 🫂

Chewy Canada is expanding soon. Just wanted to let other Canadians know.

Has anyone run in to this before? We got a metal litter because the corner bin was getting scratched up. Having 3 diggers will do that. It was Magnus's fav place to "go" so we put the new metal one there, thinking he'd be glad for the space and clean smell. Nope. We haven't seen him use it. The...

There's a lot of reviews online from vets and owners but simply them promoting the 'flopping' so that they can accomplish tasks on their cats. I'm not looking for something like that. Very curious to know the following in your reviews especially: 1- what behaviour(s) were you trying to get...

Looking for some ideas of some travel pet crates that could for two cats. One 14 lb and one 10 lb cat. We've done some evacuation tests and on my own it's difficult to grab 3 carriers, and 2 backpacks. Magnus needs a specific one for his knees as he as luxating patellas, so he's in a backpack...

Anyone else have a cat who tries to play tug 'o war with you? Ghost sometimes tries to take toys where he can't go and then ends up playing like a dog. We try to discourage this behaviour as I'm unsure if it's safe. If it's safe to do so, I'll let him take off with the toy but that's not...

Gizmo's Best Life on Instagram: "Which cat breed is your favorite?? #gizmosbestlife #kitten #funnycatvideo #catbreeds"

On my search yesterday I noted a new company. Has anyone had any experience with them? I made an order from homesalive.ca last week and that went well.

Asking for a friend.... Calcifer. Calcifer is the friend.

Catit tube for scale because we are all cat-people here 🤣 Magnus for scale in the other photo? In reality my standing fan for scale. Both the amount on the fan and the tray today. There's still more in the bucket outside. (It's invasive so you can get fined for growing it in the ground in...

Hi all. We got a new addition to our family yesterday. We've named him Ghost. He is appropriately 2 years old. He was found outside and is considered a stray. A concerned community member called the SPCA. He was neutered about 2.5 weeks ago, and has been quarentined since then. He had FIV/FELV...

Just finished this lovely video. I do like how well it explains DSH/DLH in cats at the end. Also has some really cool information on colourings of cats.

Interesting new study. It's only the initial one, so repeats will need done to ensure the theory is correct. Interesting, it was also found that ignoring a cat raises it's stress - opposite to current recommended actions even by behavioural experts when dealing with naughty behaviour...

*I did call and speak to the vet already and they said no need to come yet. Told me to call back if litter changes, more vomiting or lethargy* I have 2 cats and I have no idea who vomited and who's poos are soft. No idea if related, and the poo is not concerning soft, it's formed, but I'm...

Walking cats is becoming more common. I hope others have photos of leashed walks, catios or even cats in backpacks and pet strollers adventuring around! This is Magnus on his daily walk. He's in a jacket because it's still cold out here. 2023-04

Looking for your great most creative enrichment ideas... nothing that's listed on every article and YouTube video. Anything that keeps your cat occupied for a length of time, but really hoping for anything that's not good focused. He's done floaty toys, ball in the bathtub, box of paper with...
