    Hey guys! A good friend of mine just adopted a kitten (about 12 weeks of age) that is deaf, and she's having a very difficult time training him, because he cannot hear her commands/snapping, etc. Do any of you know of any good sites that have information on how to train a deaf kitty? Or maybe...

    Hey guys... Here's a question... I have two 4yo kitties (they combined get 1c of dry Innova EVO per day, as they are on a diet...and they refuse to eat wet food, except for Iams wet Kitten food), and we adopted a 3.5mo kitten about a month ago. Right now, we have him on Iams wet kitten food...

    Stuffies being put in the closet?!?!

    Ok...one of the goofballs in my oddball trio keeps stealing my stuffed animals and putting them in the hall closet! I think it might be Simon, as he's a new guy and the other two have never really been interested in doing that exact activity. Sunny likes to play with my bunny stuffy (which...

    Kitten diet - wanted to check

    Hey guys! So, Simon's now about 3.5mos old, and I wanted to be sure he's on a good diet right now. When he got to us, he'd been a stray (he's been neutered, deflea'd, etc...the works), and was quite malnourished (you could feel his ribs easily, backbone, hips, shoulders, etc.), so I was...

    Introducing kitten to two 4yo kitties

    Hey guys! So, a few weeks ago, we brought home little Simon, a three month old kitten, who I brought home for our 4yo Hobbes (and I guess Hobbes' sister, Sunny). Hobbes and Sunny are both 4yrs old, both have gotten a clean bill of health. Sunny's matured to the point where Hobbes' incessant...

I just brought home a 3mo kitten last Wednesday (so he's been home a week tomorrow), and I just noticed tonight that he has a major swelling in his jaw area, maybe around the root of one of his molars?

    Reacquainting siblings after vet visit

    Hi guys...could use your thoughts on this one... A few days ago, Hobbes (boy) had to go to the vet, and had to stay overnight. So, he came home, and I put a dab of vanilla extract on each of their necks (boy do they smell yummy! ). Now, it's been a few days...but his (literal) sister is still...

So, last night, we decided to take our Hobbes in to the emergency vet because he was peeing outside the litterbox, and in the case of urinary issues, we know it needs to be checked RIGHT AWAY. Well, he wound up having to stay the night, because they kept having problems getting his...

    Itchy bump under skin?

    Hey guys...question about my Sunny... We discovered a bump (about the size of a biggish bug bite) on Sunny's neck, under the fur. It seems to be quite itchy, because when I feel the area, she's overwhelmed with the urge to itch with her hind foot. Now, I've parted the fur, and didn't see...

    Syringe feeding?

    Hey guys, I think I'm confused, or missing something here... I tried to syringe some pumpkin to Hobbes tonight, and I think I must have done it incorrectly, because it just flicked EVERYWHERE when he licked it. Is there a technique I'm missing here?? Also, how much should I give him and how...

    Switching food

    So, I've decided that I want to switch my kitties' dry food. I have another thread going asking about Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul (and was considering feeding them the Adult Light formula), and am seriously considering switching them to that. We've tried a few different types of cat...

    Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul???

    Hey guys! Okay, so I just heard about this food, and thought I'd see what you guys thought about it. I was considering trying it out, because we've been looking for something that's healthier than what our babes are currently getting (which is Purina Cat Chow Naturals). So...tell me what...
