My cat was neutered this week and as he is a very determined licker has bee wearing "the collar".  He has had his collar on for 3 days so it must be healed up enough now... so I took the collar of and he has already licked off the scab leaving the pink skin.  (By the way, he split it TWICE the...

I know cats come in all different shapes and sizes... but I was looking at mine and he seems "short" somehow.  He is coming up to 6 months old now.  I am used to them looking like they have legs that are a bit too long for their bodies and bodies that are too big for their heads... sort of...

My cat is 5 months old. Can you help me with tips to get him to come to his name please? He does seem to recognize his name by turning his ears or head, or if he is upstairs comes halfway too see what is happening.... but unless there is food he will not come. He is SO responsive to food that...

Our kitten, Nibbles, is 5 months old now.  He is doing great.  I've noticed something about him though.  He likes our entire family equally (me, my husband, 2 kids)... but when new people come over... that is a different story.  If any child comes over he is surprised and wary for about 5...

I've had cats all my life but my current one is doing something new that the others haven't done and I'm trying to figure out his reason. He is a lovely 4 month old, so very gentle and has been surprisingly well behaved for a kitten so far.  He even only scratched the furniture for a few days...

I was a member here a loooooong time ago and haven't had a cat in quite some time... but finally the time is coming for a new kitten.... Friday evening, to be more precise! By the way... spent a long time trying to guess my login information from a loooooong time ago and did email about it and...

I have been feeding my cats the same brand of cat food for almost two years. Its an all meat protein food that comes in all the flavors of the other brands. A few months ago all of a sudden they started not liking the chicken flavor, then the beef. So I thought maybe they changed the recipe...

Many times I've come across people on here who have cats that don't like being stroked. I have one of those too... She is a very intelligent kitty who follows me around and loves me, but doesn't like to be stroked more than once. Sarah, my cat, seems to learn everything so fast. Last weekend...

My smallest cat is the most vocal cat I've ever had. I think she is quite funny. She has a meow or a growl for everything. I like her howling-growl she has when she is very excited and playing. She runs like a crazy cat and leaps in the tub or dashes under the futon and lets out a crazy...

I would like to hear your stories about how your shelter cat's personally changed/shined through after you brought your cat home and got used to things. I have two shelter cats, my youngest, Sarah, was born in a shelter and has never known the outside world so, she really hasn't changed. I...

I normally buy my cats an all natural all meat protein food. I thought I would buy them two cans of the popular stuff as a treat... everyone says that tastes so much better to cats so I thought that would be good. What I couldn't believe was how fast they got hungry again after eating that...

I have two great cats, very personable. One, Sarah, is extremely lively and hyper. I was wondering if anyone has experience with such a cat. She loves to be with me and follow me, see what I'm doing, everything. But, one of two strokes or one hug and already she is squirming like mad to be...

I posted a thread before talking about my fat cat. My last update said she is doing great. She still is. She is like a whole new cat now, she even feels like a different cat. My question is this... I have been measuring her food this whole time. Now that she has lost weight she is becoming...

I have broken into my cats secret to training! My cat loves these plastic rings from pop bottles. I've learned how to use those to teach my cat! Sarah has learned to bring her toy to the futon (so I don't have to move to get it all the time), AND she has learned to beg! She stands on her...

I have used the usual cat brushes for years. Recently I went to Walmart and bought this rubber brush with big fat pointy fingers (more like fingers than bristles). Anyhow, the first time I used it, if you saw the hair it took out you'd think I'd never brushed my cat before EVER. In fact, so...

My cat has surprised me and stopped growing! She looks like she is stuck between kitten and cat. I thought she would grow a lot bigger as she has these really long legs and a long skinny tail. This is a picture of her around 6 months old. She still looks the same! When she walks she looks...

I've written a few times before about my fat cat, Isabel. She is healthy, just overweight. I've done everything I'm supposed to do which was supposed to lower her weight and didn't. I measure the food out (low calorie all natural hard food), she is only getting soft food once in a while...

My youngest cat acts like a dog! She is the strangest cat! She has that energy and happy to see you look like a dog. She wimpers and whines like a dog. She follows me like a dog. She sits and looks at me just like a dog! She fetches like a dog. She even will bring me her toy to start off...

I was wondering what you got for your cats for christmas! My cats got a laser pointer (actually my sister bought it for them now me!) Both cats loved it. Sarah loved it the most though, she chased it until she was wheezing! That's a long time as she is a very active cat already!

I posted some time back, maybe in June I'm not sure, that my cat had put on some weight. She had been spayed a couple months before that. She didn't eat too much and is a fairly active cat. Well, now just in the last couple months she has put on some more weight. She isn't any less active...
