    Anyone else with a VERY possessive kitty?

    I have the same problem with my two. One male (Brandon) and one female (Kabou). Both are around 3 years old. Brandon harrasses Kabou just as you described. I'll be interested in seeing what others have to suggest. I've also felt the need to break it up when things get too rough. I've...

    biting hard objects?

    My female is 3 years old and does the same thing. She chews and bites hard plastic, edges of furniture, books, etc. I don't know why, although I've noticed she does it while waiting for me to fix her dinner or when she appears nervous. I agree about maybe having your kitty's teeth checked.

    Hurrican Ike!

    Is there anyone else besides me in the path of IKE? I live in Houston and I am not evacuating. I've never been through an actual hurricane hit before so I'm really nervous. I have water, food, cat supplies, but my biggest fear is being without power which means no air conditioning, etc. etc...

    How Many Raw Feeders Out There?

    I've been feeding one of my cats raw for about two years. It cleared up her IBS and now I'm afraid to switch her back to commercial food! I used to make my own from raw rabbit but the shipping expense and hassle was too much. I presently use a product from Feline Instincts where I just have...

    Help me w/strays in Houston

    Try Friends for Life. It is a no-kill Shelter. You might also call Homeless Pet Placement League, which rescues, fosters, and ultimately adopts. You should be able to find both on the internet. Hope that helps.

    Delicate stomach?

    I agree with this. My cat has suspected IBD and after switching her to a raw diet, her symptoms are controlled if not gone. I was told by my vet that once you find a food they can tolerate, stick with it.

    Switching to all wet: how to handle feeding when away from home for longer periods?

    I can relate because I also have two cats who are afraid of anyone other than myself. They run and hide and don't come out until the stranger leaves. I feed dry to one of my cats only because he won't transition to wet, so he wouldn't be a problem, but the other one is on a raw diet, which...

    IBD in cat-seeking advice

    I'm so sorry you are going through this. It is such a hard thing to deal with. My vet suspects that my female Kabou has IBD. She is only 3. I went so far as the ultrasound and the next step was a biopsy. As a last resort, I tried a raw diet and it has miraculously worked for her. I...

    Will Persi go to jail? Is he truly a vicious animal?

    Oh my goodness. I am so sorry you have gone through such a nightmare. I've been following this thread closely because a similar incident happend to me about a month ago. I live in Texas. My cat freaked out and went totally balistic when her leash got tangled up in a plant on my balcony. My...

    What does your cat like to watch on tv?

    Kabou isn't interested in watching TV, but Brandon loves meerkat manor. Sits smack dab in front of it and only leaves when there are commercials. When the music and chattering starts up, he races back to the TV.

    Air purifiers: How many have them and has it helped?

    I'm allergic to cats and other allergens and I run a hepa air filter in my bedroom. It does help and ditto on the amount of cat hair and dust I see when I change the filter.

    Cat Bite - Will they really quarantee my cat?

    Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all the responses. I guess I lucked out because when I went to the ER a week ago Sunday, I really thought it was a bad clawing so that's what I told them. That's what I also told my dr. When I went to the dr. on Friday, I mentioned it looked more like a...

    Cat Bite - Will they really quarantee my cat?

    Thanks everyone for your great responses. Yes, Kabou is my cat and she is indoor only, so indoors for 10 days with me is not a problem. She had her initial rabbies shots but I opted not to give them every year because she has a bad reaction to all vaccinations. Her other shots are up to date...

    Cat Bite - Will they really quarantee my cat?

    Hi, my cat Kabou either bit me or gouged me with her claws last Saturday. It wasn't intentional and I won't go into the whole story now. I have a bad infection that so far is not responding to antibiotics. I am under the care of a dr. I initially thought she clawed me, but there are four...
