    Big SPRAYING Problem!!!

    You know??? You might be right. The major thing that has changed for him is that he can no longer be an inside/outside cat. He is strictly indoors now because of a previous outdoor problem with a outside cat. But he has been strictly inside for a few months now and all of the sudden he started...

    Big SPRAYING Problem!!!

    Ok. We had Meanow for a year now and he has NEVER sprayed in the house....until last week. Now he gets into his litter box and sprays the outside of the box (in a straight stream like a garden hose!!!!) instead of peeing like he normally did which was making a normal pee puddle! He always tried...

    Food Dish Problem???

    This may be really weird but I'll give it a try....Meanow and Sam both do not like to eat out of anything EXCEPT my daughter's really small bowl that goes to her toy dish set. This bowl is the size of a "playdough lid" but maybe a 1/2 inch deep. The problem is they get the food ALL OVER THE...

    Psychogenic alopecia

    Our 3 1/2 year old Sam has the same problem with the obsessive grooming. She is at the point where she looks like a baboon when she's walking AND we tried everything to make her stop...It may and may not be stress/anxiety. Since stress and anxiety wass ruled out for Sam we came to the conclusion...

    Snoring

    Meanow SNORES so loud that he vibrates the floor! It's a snoring competition between by husband, the dog (yellow lab) and Meanow!! It's a mad house sometimes...:laughing: We were wondering if it was normal for cats to snore, especially Meanow because he is so big... He is snoring right now...

    Thursday morning we woke up to find Meanow with a scratch under his left ear that was oozing.We kept an eye on it and tried to keep it clean with warm compresses and medication I picked up from petsmart. By thursday evening it was getting ALOT worse but the vet office was closed so we had to...

    what is the best litter?

    When it comes to kitty litter i use the scoopable store brand. I tried a few brands and I found that the store brand, in my opinion, is better, and besides it is less expensive and you get more. I usually buy BJ's or Walmart brand. Except for tonight....I had to buy kitty litter and I had to...

    BIG cat...BIG claws....need help A.S.A.P!

    we were pretty much shocked when we saw the couch!! he doesn't have a scratching post...but we will soon be getting one! We just didn't really think he would have any interest in one because we never saw him scratch at anything and our other cat doesn't scratch at anything either. Now that he...

    BIG cat...BIG claws....need help A.S.A.P!

    The good news is "We got Meanow's front nails clipped" and the bad news is...we woke up this morning to find "my couch" scratched up and shredded...it was scratched so bad that the stuffing was outside of it. He had to be soooo mad that he wanted to get revenge on us for clipping his nails. Even...

    I Need Some Advice

    Hissy gave you some great advice, but from experience most cats do NOT like gloves! We had a young cat that we were trying to tame bite right through it and I was using "fire place" gloves. We figured if they could handle burning wood it can also handle a cat bite....but we were wrong. We...

    Old cat vs. New cat

    They both seem to be tolerating each other and there has been fewer than usual hisses and swats. They are not "friends" yet and we are still hoping eventually they will become friends. Sam is VERY curious and she seems to go out of her way to get Meanow mad. She would sneek up on him and then...

He would butt heads with us, pull our hands to his head with his paws and lean his head on our hands and thats just the begining! she is just trying to show you that she loves you...she cannot talk and...

    Old cat vs. New cat

    Today's introduction was a battle, but it was kind of funny though. We had Meanow (the bigger cat) inside the house sitting by my side and Sam was across the room stalking him while my daughter stood guard in the middle with a broom. All of the sudden Sam went running to Meanow like a charging...

    my cat needs help!

    As for the tests she had her Physical Assement, QBC, Chemestry Panel 1, Feline Fiv & Felv Cite, Toxoplasmosis IgG and IgM, which everything came back normal. Nothing negative came back with her lab tests. We took her to the vet that time because she was acting very strange (kind of delerious)...
