    Frustrated with him trying to escape

    I don't know if this would be of any help to you but it workeds in our situation. My cat (now 2-1/2 yrs old) was just like that when she was younger. She wears her harness all the time so I'd just clip on the leash & take her out for a walk 22-3 times a day. We live on 3rd floor of an...

    Kitten's grooming habits

    My 2-1/2 yr old cat now does well at cleaning her bottom but I thoought she was never going to do so. When younger she didn't seem to even realize she should be doing this. I've always attributed that to the fact that she is an only cat & was taken from her mom & siblings when only 5 weeks...

    not drinking

    Last year my cat had a similar problem. I didn't have any idea she was sick; just took her to the vet because I noticed she wasn't drinking, also not peeing. The first vet wasn't concerned so the next day I took her to a cat only vet. At first he wasn't concerned either since she wasn't...

    Like to watch me scoop

    I think this behaviour with their litter box is just a 'cat thing.' Mine has done this from about the age of 3 months. No matter how quiet I try to bbe she seems to always hear me & comes running to "supervixe. As the litter is falling from the bag or box she usually likes to stick a paw into...

    Will eat only dry food. Should I be conerned?

    Mandy has not yet paid a bit of attention to it. But she has been napping in my bedroom all day. Maybe later today when she comes out to the kitchen area she may discover it. She ate a little of the wet food again this morning though only the soupy part. I still consider that to be progress...

    Will eat only dry food. Should I be conerned?

Anyway am trying several of the suggestions. I found the link sbd45 posted to be particularly helpful. Printed out the article...

    Will eat only dry food. Should I be conerned?

    My cat is almost 2-1/2 yrs old (29 mnths). She does not drink much water, about 4 oz most days. I wish she'd get more fluids since she had a nasty urinary tract infection about a year ago. She very unfinicky (is there such a word?) about dry foods. I give her mostly premium foods other than some...

    Teaching my Cat

    When my Mandy was little I thought it would be a snap to teach her things. She adored treats then & would come right to them. She seemed to know her name when I spoke to her. She seemed to know her name, 'NO' 'up', 'down', & 'out'. This went on until she was about 5 months old. Then she...

    Cat likes cheap stuff, but i want her to have better

    My cat is almost 2 yrs old. I fed her excelusively a fairly expensive food, APD feline cat/kitten brand for the 1st year. Then I started mixing in 1/4 cup of some cheaper foods, Friskies dry & Chef's Blend. A few months ago she was sick with a bladder infection & wouldn't eat much of the...

    Suckling

    My cat is nearly 2 years old. She was taken from her mom at 5 wks. At about 3 months of age she started a similar behavior which has persisted. When I lie down in bed, often to read, she wants to lie on my chest & suck on a front paw. A couple of months ago she added a new wrinle - she stands...

    Lesson learned today!

    Thank you for alerting us to this problem we need to be aware of. I've never thought to look at the back of my kitty's teeth & am sure many others haven't either. Hope everything turns out OK for him. Poor dear, he must have a sore mouth after that digging around in there. Thanks again...

    Brings me 'Presents'

    From the time she was a baby when I would be busy on the computer I would hear her meowing in the living room or hallway. I thought she was looking for me so would just answer her "Here I am" "Come", etc. Guess I'm not too bright - after many months I realized that whenever she did this I...

    Further update on kitty not drinking

    Yes Mandy is a resiliant & forgiving Kitty! Have been amazed at how well she tolerated all my fussing with her. When it was time to give her meds or water she didn't hide. She just sort of walked away for a bit but would let me approach her & pick her up. Then cried piteously before the...

    Further update on kitty not drinking

    She is eating and DRINKING again. I thought her temp was down on Tuesday & she was eating up a storm but still not drinking. I was still forcing water on her though. Wednesday back to vet for follow up. Her temp was normal & she had put on the bit of weight she had lost. So he advised to finish...
