    Food Spoiled Cat I Think.

    Hi there. I choose Applaws because where I live (Dubai) cat food options are limited - royal canine and whiskas everywhere. In a "good" store the choice came down to Orijen (which I was feeding initially but she stopped eating that one as well), Applaws or taste of the wild (ingredients of...

    Food Spoiled Cat I Think.

    Hi everyone, I've been feeding my cat Applaws kitten food + Applaws wet food pouches 2-3 times a week. I also make sure she drinks plenty of water. Recently, she has been rejecting her dry food and sort of "fasting" until I give in and feed her some wet. For example yesterday she didn't...

    How often do you bathe your cat?

    Thanks. I read some articles online saying you should bathe your cat only a couple of times a year and I thought to myself OMG what am I doing to my cat.  I am relieved now :D

    How often do you bathe your cat?

    Hi everyone, I have a long haired, white Persian cat and I am wondering how often should I bathe her? (she is indoors only) Usually her hair gets a bit oily and smelly after two weeks. I put a lot of effort into keeping all the surfaces clean but she's a curious one. Right now she has a stain...

    Do you shave/trim your own cats? What shaver do you use?

    I use some generic shaver (intended for human use :D) that has a plastic cover that you can move up/down to set how close/far from skin to cut.  Its actually pretty loud and my kitty was petrified when she first saw it so I did the following: 1. Take out the shaver and let her smell it (give...

    Do you let your cat sleep in your bed with you at night?

    Sameeeee! My kitten simply does not want to sleep with me (she wanders of somewhere as I am falling asleep) but every morning without an exception she comes up to purr and get cuddles. Best feeling ever.

    How often should they go #2? :)

    Maybe its just my kitten changing her habits - when she was "younger" she used to poop at least 2-3 times :D

    How often should they go #2? :)

    Thank you! Yes actually I've been feeding her tiny bit less because the vet told me she gained a bit of a belly :). Hopefully everything is fine.

    New cat hasn't been to the toilet yet?

    Hi, don't worry about it too much - he might take some time to relax and go use the toilet :) If he does it outside litter box make sure not to punish him or yell at him. Simply clean it up with some toilet paper and leave the said toilet paper in the litter box so he can smell it for the next...

    Will this cat survive?

    Hi there. Great job taking a kitten in. Are you sure there are no emergency centers open right now? Usually vet clinics have emergency line at least. Did you try washing it off with a warm, damp towel?  Please dont give him milk. They dont tolerate animal milk. Keep us posted!

    How often should I use the deshedding tool?

    Thanks. So I do use wide tooth comb daily but unfortunately if I don't use the de-shedder everything will be covered in her fur :)

    How often should I use the deshedding tool?

    Hi there. Thanks. Yes I think she's Persian/Turkish Angora mix - her back hair is very long :)  So deshedder is ok 2-3 times a week? I brush her daily with a wide tooth brush that doesn't really take off any hair.  My worry about the actual deshedding tool is that I might be taking off to much...

    Toy Suggestions for Physical Activity

    Before you go to spend $$$ on cat toys why dont you try giving her bottle caps (mine loves to chase them) and paper or aluminium foil loosely made into a ball? Also any strings like bra strings, gift wrapper kind of strings work great.  I spent a lot of money buying toys for my kitten who...

    How often should I use the deshedding tool?

    Hi everyone,  My 4-5 month kitty has a very long hair and as you can imagine she sheds a lot. When she was smaller I used that kind of comb like brush with metal bristles but it does not work well for me now. When I use the very thick deshedding tool (similar to what some people use for dogs)...

    How often should they go #2? :)

    Hi everyone, I have a 4-5 months old kitten who recently changed her #2 habits. She used to go potty at least 2-3 times day and since couple of days ago she's been only going once! Her stool is sizeable to say and nothing else seems off - she's playful, affectionate, and eating well (same as...
