    Nail Splitting

    The last few times I trimmed Bellas nails 2 nails split on the ends. She has a good diet and I do not go down very far(just the tips get trimmed). Is this normal? If not-is there anything I can do to remedy this problem? Someone suggested I put vaseline on the nail after trimming to keep them...

    Bee sting????

    Bella and I were out for a walk on Sat. and while she was sniffing some flowers something bit or stuck her in the paw because she jumped 10ft off the ground. I tried looking at her paw to see if there was blood(from a cut) or a sticker stuck in the paw, but couldn't find anything. Plus she kept...

    I'm a bad Mommy - Don't Make This Mistake

    Abyssinian BREED? FEEDBACK PLEASE?

    When I first got Bella at 4mos. she had a bad diahrea problem too-After taking her to the vet (fecal exam etc...)I found out she required a diet high in fiber. I tried a few brands and what she decided on was Eukanuba and Kitty Grass. Since I changed her diet we have not had a problem with...

    Le Bistro Feeders and Waterers for Cats

    I bought only the water bottle one at PetsMart about a year ago to use when I am gone for the weekend.Once it is filled with water it will be pretty hard to tip over. Bella has never had a problem with tipping over bowls, but I think it will work great for your problem. For everyday use she has...

    My cat has started eating my clothes

    I totally agree with Maui... I have a siamese and she loves to play with-eat and steal my wool sweaters. Because she is an indoor cat she wasn't getting enough fiber from her her everyday food source. So what I eventually ended up doing is plant kitty grass. She loves it-It must taste like...

    Taking the kitties out for a walk

    I know what you mean about the cryingonce you bring them in. The minute Bella is in the house and the harness is off-she sits by the sliding door(the one we always leave through)and cries and paces back and forth until she realizes she in for the night. I usually feed her when we finish our...

    Taking the kitties out for a walk

    Bella has been walking on a leash now for a little over a year. She is an indoor cat and I figured that walks would be a good way for her to get some exercise and let out some energy. Our walks last anywhere from 30min to 2 hrs depending on how good she is that day. I would start out training...

    Siamese wildcat

    Sorry it took so long for me to reply...I was out of town. Anyhow the way I have prevented Bella from biting is to not allow her to do it. If we are playing or she just has the inclination to attack my hands and bite I stop what I am doing, say NO and walk away. This has seemed to work, she...

    Siamese wildcat

    Well my situation is a little different-I got blue siamese twins, brother and sisterat the same time because I was told that they reqiure a lot of attention(this is true). This was wonderful because they are very active intelligent animals and enjoy lots of playtime. On Sept 10th Max got out of...

    female hissing at male

    I went through this too... My female siamese did the same to her twin brother when he returned from the vet from being neutered at 6 months. He would lay next to her and follow her around and she would just attack him, hiss, and stalk him to no end. The poor boy could not eat, sleep, or use the...

    Dental Prophylaxis???

    I was interested in getting Bellas teeth cleaned at the Vet or Groomers the procedure is called "Dental Prophylaxis". Has anyone had this procedure done? I was reading that they have to put Bella to sleep to do the cleaning. Is this a safe way to go or are there other Teeth cleaning methods...

    Kitty lying on her back

    Bella does this all the time When I get home from work she stops-drops-and rolls onto her back so that I can rub her belly. Most of the time she lays on her side and stretches reeeal long and I rub her from chin to tummy. I have to be real careful not to step on her because she will just drop...

    Reduced Calories

    I have a question along these lines... My 1.5 yr old Siamese, Bella is not overweight(8lbs.), active, and indoors- but she prefers the Eukanuba weight control dry food to the regular chicken or lamb and rice formulas. Almost every other high quality food I have given her either makes her stool...

    I take my Bella with me all over-for weekends at my boyfriends house and to the park for a walk so she does not associate the carrier with only the vet once or twice a year. I leave it out on occasion for no partticular reason so that she can play or sleep in the carrier. When we spend the...
