My female cat likes to position itself near the edge of the litter box when it takes care of business. Sometimes when it goes #1 it starts flying off the edge of the box. Any suggestions to adjust this behavior ?

Kitty decided to sit down in front of the keyboard and check out the thread. I didnt put her there to get a photo she just jumped up there and sat down while I read the updates.

Thanks for the all info. Even though I had cats in the house when younger I am new as an owner. On a lighter note, how do you stop cats from walking on your keyboard ?? Cat likes to jump up on my desk and walk around. She just walked across the board while I was typing an email and she typed...

The Vet scruffed the cat then lifted it to his head level and started feeling around the abdomen and inspecting the area. I didnt ask what he was checking but I assume it was for lumps or tumors.

Hi. Its been a longtime user name. I just picked it from the movie.

Can you train cats to avoid certain behaviors ? My cat has started enjoying jumping on the kitchen table. I think it is because she associates it with food more than she enjoys sitting on the table. At first, when I would go in the kitchen to get a snack or something to drink she will often jump...

Yes. Now that I have time I will be looking around. The shelter had actually told me that it can be a little challenging to find vet openings in the current post-COVID environment. Even the shelter has staffing issues and operates on appointment only. They do not currently have an open-door...

..and on a positive note, Panther handled the visit like a trooper. She didn't react at all to the vaccine shot and the only time she resisted was when the 'vet' was feeling her underside and belly. She started getting a little angry at that but didn't get aggressive -- just a little vocal.

There was no Vet Tech(at least that I saw)..Only the receptionist and the vet. Perhaps the receptionist was also a tech but she did not come into the exam room. The vet told me to hold my cat while he administered the shot. He scruffed my cat and said, 'hold her like this'. It was just an...

I adopted a cat from a county shelter a couple weeks ago and took it to the Vet for a general 'checkup' and vaccine that was due. It seems like most vets are really backed up with appointments and many dont even accept new patients. Then I found one near me and set up an appointment. I kind of...

I did a little photo shoot of my cat, Panther. I got her from a shelter a few weeks ago and I was surprised how quickly she became comfortable with the house. The same day I got her, she was sitting on the carpet in front of the TV. The next day I got out my camera and she just sat there posing...

:)... They do look like mini - panthers.

They gave me a folder with all the information, medical history, vaccinations etc..DOB is listed as 7/7/2020 so she is just over two years old. I am not sure why animals are surrendered and I didn't ask but I think the previous owner might have had a conflict with another animal in the...

Thanks for the welcome, all. This is the first time I have adopted from a shelter. It is hard to pick out an animal. They have a lot of cats looking for homes and I was just looking for a friendly companion animal. I went by my gut feeling after interacting with a few of the cats in the...

I just adopted a Cat from a shelter last week. The cat's name was Karen but I am calling her Panther. I just wanted a friendly cat and didn't care much about the breed or sex or color etc...I had a cat in mind from browsing the shelter cat bios and photos but when I took it into the room they...
