    Reintroducing Littermates

    Ok. I know I am going to get a lot of "dislike/disagree" posts but I am all for letting them figure it out them selves. As long as no one gets hurt. Cat social hierarchy is not the same as ours. One is going to be dominant and we usually want everyone to be nice and equal. What they want is...

    Meowing

    I have found that a good combing with a flea comb works great. Removes fur, gives a good scratch (imagine how good THAT feels), and fulfills attention. All the vet advice is good too.

    Hand Grooming

    They do make ridged 'mitts'for grooming, but I don't they are up to the task of coping with seasonal shed. I use a flea comb. It not only removes fleas and that deep coat of winter hair, but it gives a good scratch. You might mention it to neighbors as a revelation. "Just found out that...

    I do not let my cat sleep with me. He lets me sleep in the bed. Usually sleeps curled up next to HIS pillow, but if I am late getting to bed, he sleeps curled up on my pillow. As for health reasons. I have had several surgeries. I have been advised that before and after surgery to have clean...

    How to get a cat to cover her waste?

    Litter box position,size and litter type can all be factors. Big enough box. Positioning space. Make sure there is enough room on all sides so kitty does not feel claustrophobic. Time to feel comfortable enough to hang around burying. I always add fiber to Buddy's wet food. Gives feces some...
