Amy is approx 1.5 years and came from a shelter. I had her spayed as soon as I could. She's 7lbs. I was wondering I there is anything I can do to help her when once she gets back home. I just off to work and I'll see her as soon as I get back home tonight. Thanx

In two 5 minute sessions Amy learned to jump on any raised surface I told her to. These surfaces were: a stool, giant rubbermaid box, bed, and pillow and lid laying on the ground. All I had to do was say, "Amy,.. Come", and quickly double-tap the surface with a wand. She would leap on-top of...

I thought it would be interesting to hear what people do when they hang with their kitties. Here's what I do, - Put some slow relaxing music on; i like ambient - Have a serving of red wine (Only if you already drink and are at least 21 years of age) - Lay on my bed, relax my body - Enter a...

I just bought Amy a tooth brush & paste set and I'd like some input and advice. Today is day two of brushing Amy's teeth. I got the tooth brush out, put some wet food on it, and Amy munched on the tooth brush. I was able to do some brush strokes while she was chomping away. Is this a good way...

I have depression so I thought a feline friend would help me out. I went to the shelter and picked out Amy. I just kinda happened and I didn't think too much about it. She was an 18mo cat found on the streets. Orange, strips, white paws, neck, and tummy. Tabby of course. She had already had...

I just adopted a 1.5 yr old female from a shelter. The shelter had found her on the streets... I wanted a feline friend to help with my depression, as selfish as that might sound. My house is only a 14x14 ft batchelor. Is this big enough? Another question- Mona seems to meow alot (crying?)...

Iditarod had a newspaper article saying "Dogs love to race!" I disagree: http://www.helpsleddogs.org/ I choose to be a voice for these Animals who have no voice and so I wrote my own article in which I hope to get published in the papers. I would love for you to read it and critique it in any...

i filled the sink up with lukewarm water. i grabbed 'bonkers' securely, but not tightly, by the neck and back and put his feet in the water. he squirmed but there is nowhere he can go because his feet were underwater and the bottom was slippery and i had a hold of his neck. i then flipped him on...

i've been feeding my kittens temptation treats (savoury salmon flavour) for their special toilet training. i'm almost done the training and have about a month to go. they like the treats, but i haven't tried anything else yet. my concern is the ingredients: Chicken by-product meal, ground corn...

i have three cats. i've recently tried to have them each eat from their own bowl. that way i'd know exactly how much each cat ate. but it didnt seem to work out. the cats would switch bowls very frequently, and then when i started adding warm water to their dry food they would all eat out of the...

it was a stuggle but i we did it. i have 3 kittens 7 months of age. and i had decided i had taken enough scratches to the leg, neck, arm, and many other body parts. so it was time. holding the kittens down was not easy, but i did it. boy did they ever get upset at me (kittens --> ). when i...

i feed my cats moist food on schedule and i'm monitering their calories... they like to wake me up every morning to be fed, and i've not been getting much sleep. so i have an idea that i'd like some input on: i'll set my alarm for 8:00am every morning and 10:00pm every night (i have a dual...

I'm hearing lately that eating dry food really doesnt help that much for keeping cats teeth clean. And so I am wondering this. Any ideas?

i hear that hydrated / wet food is much more healthy for cats then dry food... presently i feed my 3 kittens 'Innova Evo Cat and Kitten Dry.' i cannot afford wet. even if i feed a low quality wet food my cat food cost will easily double bringing me out of my budget range. i was thinking of...

here's the situation: i am toilet training my 3 kittens and sometimes they seem a little 'apprehensive' when on the toilet. they might jump onto the toilet, dig a little, meow, and jump off again without actually going pee or poop. i know they need to go, and they're nervous (changes, bigger...

i just saved $127.00 (Canadian) - Listen to every word a receptionist or vet doctor says and write the information down along with the person who you talked to, and the date and time you talked - Ask for prices from more then one person in the same establishment - Phone other clinics and...

i called the clinic and asked how much stool needed to be collected to do the test and she said "about a dixie cups worth." that got me to thinking - "my kittens are lucky if they poop a dixie cups worth in 3 days! i said that it would be alot less. possibly a tablespoon to 3 tablespoons max...
