I'm considering a new apartment that has hardwood floors. I have two cats that love to run around, and have a habit of digging their claws into the carpet in our current place as they run around and play. I can just imagine them scratching the heck out of the hardwood floors in the apartment...

I'm very nervous right now. Alex can't seem to swallow anything. He tries to eat, chews, and then spits his food back out. I called the 24 emergency vet in the area and they said since he seems to be himself otherwise, that I can wait until I get home from work tomorrow to take him into my...

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post, but here it is. Last night while I was asleep, Cleo was laying by my legs and grooming herself. I was woken up by dampness in the sheets, and as it turs out she soaked a pancake sized puddle through the bedspread, sheets, clear through to...

I was sleeping this morning when Alex began yowling very loudly from his perch in the corner. I woke up and he was starring right at me, ears back, tail rigid, with hius body arched back. He slowly got up, continuing to yowl, made his way to the bed and yowled looking right me. He continued...

We just got the Petmate cat fountain for our kitties. They seem a little nervous about it. Has anyone else had any problems with their kitties being afraid of the fountain? Is there an adjustment period?

I have two cats. Two days ago one of them, Cleo, threw up. She tried to throw up again this morning but one little pebble of food came up. I also found diarrhea in the litter box yesteray and today. I'm assuming it's from Cleo but I can't be sure because they share the litter boxes. The...

Cleo has a funny habit of licking the tip of my nose when I pick her up or when she's hanging out with me on the couch. Lately, when she gives me these little 'kisses' she'll often put her mouth around my nose. She's very gentle and never bites down. Kinda weird, isn't it? Anybody else have a...

I found this remote control motorized little mouse in the pet isle at my local Stop & Shop. The kitties are fascinated by it. They love to watch it as much as they love to chase it. They go nuts when I make it go under the furniture. It really does look like a real mouse when you see it go...

I tried to give Cleo laxatone, but I don't think she likes it. I put a little on her nose to stimulate taste interest and then put about half a teaspoon on her paw. Rather than lick it off her paw she flicked most of it off. Can I mix it with her food? Will that make it less effective...

Cleo stole one of those pouches that wet food comes in out of the trash last night and chewed it up quite a bit. I think she may have ingested a couple of small pieces of the plastic material the pouch is made of. I called the emergency vet last night right after I found her with the pouch...

Someone I know is getting a second cat. They already have an eight year-old female. They plan to get a kitten from the local shelter. I recommended they get a male, because I've read here (I think) that the male-female combination is better than two females. Is that correct? Also, they are...

Sheesh, my Alex just hissed at my hand and gave me a mean look before walking away. I was petting my sister-in-laws cat earlier this evening, so I guess he smells her but I've come home from their house after petting that cat before and he's been completely normal. He jumped up on the couch...

My little girl Cleo is constantly flopping down on her side when she's around us. If I blink at her, she makes that 'brrrrrr' noise and then flops down and shows her belly. If I pet Alex, Cleo flops down and shows her belly. She does it all the time. It's funny too, she doesn't lay down and...

My husband says that cocoa is lethal to cats. Is this true? I frequently make pudding at home from the powdered mix, which contains cocoa. Is that dangerous to cats? The powder does tend to make a mess. I'm afraid I might miss a spot.

Alex had a little adventure today. First, some climbing: Doesn't he have a silly look on his face? Imagine how excited I am that he figured out how to get up there. Now on to the next adventure: Exploring the depths of the laundry hamper: Finally, wearing his prize: He actually...

I've been using Feline Pine, but as it turns to saw dust my cats track it EVERYWHERE. I tried Feline Pine Scoopable. It doesn't track as much but it doesn't control odor as well. I'd like to find a litter that doesn't track quite as much (because feline pine tracks like crazy), controls odor...

My kitties are just over two years old. They have never had hair balls before, but today one of them coughed one up for the first time. I guess this is some sort of kitty right of passage. Can anyone tell me how often cats tend to cough up hairballs? Is this a regular occurance now that it's...

My cats are slobs! I use Feline Pine, which slowly turns into saw dust. Occaisonally, when the litter is mostly saw dust, the cats will come out with litter all over their faces after using the box. I can't think of how they manage to cover their faces in litter other than to actually stick...

My cat condo came today! I got if from Armarkat Cat Furniture on Ebay. Seems like a pretty good buy for the price I paid! Alex likes it, but Cleo's not sure what to make of it yet. [/IMG]
