MISSION IMPOSSIBLE DEBORAH READ TORONTO STAR I blame Robert DeNiro. His character in the comedy Meet the Parents is extremely fond of a cat named Jinx that he's trained to use the toilet. What a good idea, I thought – no litter box smell and no kitty litter going to the landfill. How hard...

Hi, about two mos. ago I adopted this otherwise sweet male from a no-kill shelter where he'd basically been caged most of his life. He's a third cat here now (just lost a long-timer 3 mos ago). Well, at first I thought being at the shelter had made him a little nuts when it came to feeding...

Hi, my new cat's got a problem (which I now have!) and that is that he goes totally bonkers at feeding time, on his hind legs, hardly letting me put down the food, then finishing it off instantly (vs a lot slower for other two cats), then goes headfirst into the other cats' bowls (not right...

Well, on Thurs. I went to the local (no-kill) shelter, finally made a decision (so hard I almost left cat-less!) and now am the proud slave of whats-his-name (he hasn't told me what it is yet). He's all black except for an odd smudge of white on his tummy and a couple of whiskers, and almost 6...

Hi, I've had 10 cats (over many years) and all get to walk outside safely. How I do it is to buy the kind of leash in pet stores called 4-point-harness(es) which means that the leash doesn't just go around the neck (which can choke a struggling cat, or allow it to slide out easily), but there...

Squeak was a street-born tabby Maine Coon rescued with at ~3 mos. by 2 teachers, from whom we adopted her. She was hyperdynamic from the first day at home to the point I asked the vet about thyroid trouble, but she was just being her. She loved to play more than any of our cats ever have (and...

Hi, I just joined up because I wonder if anyone else has a cat as strange as mine! I have had cats forever (and that's a long time), and have 4 at the moment. Our latest, Goblin, was handed to me by a woman with a cage outside the supermkt in early Oct. (hence his name) and I couldn't say no...
