    Mr. Turtle's owner just picked him up. . .

    A teacher at a nearby school called about the FOUND TURTLE flyer. She said her classroom box turtle was lost 2 years ago when the kids left him out in the yard for 45 minutes and wanted to come by to see if it was "Jack." She thought it was Jack and took him. I hope it is the same turtle that...

    Doggie whistle for my deaf kitty!

    I have a 15 yr old calico who is very deaf. We've been trying to figure out ways to get her attention without startling her (like softly blowing on her fur if she's sleeping, or touching the couch first before petting her). I discovered that while she can't hear talking voices worth beans, she...

    Do you know of a cat actually harmed by non-breakaway collar??

    Is this concept about kitties getting hung up or killed by non-breakaway collars actually true or an urban myth? I'd like to hear from people who have actually had kitties harmed or know first hand of kitties who have been harmed. I know that if you put a collar on too loosely, it gets caught...

    Feliway Plug-In works great!

    Last week I got a Feliway Plug-In to help my timid Russian Blue kitty accept a calico we rescued 2 years ago. Feliway contains a substance that mimics the calming face rubbing pheromones of a cat. It's marketed to help stop spraying, vertical scratching and reduced interaction. Our Russian has...

    Thanks Hissy for the multicat Advantage link

    I don't know where your original thread went but I bookmarked it and saved lots of money by buying a dog-size Advantage flea med and measuring out in a syringe for my two kitties. They use the 0.4 ml size so I am getting 10 small kitty doses for the price of one large 4.0 ml dog dose. Thanks so...

    Abyssinian vs Russian Blue Personality

    Hi all Right now our family consists of an 11 yr old purebred Russian Blue and a 14 yr old calico rescue. We love them both and are not considering getting more additions at this time because of the stress it would cause since they are older. But. . . . when our love bugs do pass on (which I...

    Any success stories re behavioral meds?

    I am thinking of trying some sort of ? (med, herb, supplements) to help my scaredy cat 11 yr old (an only cat for 10.5 years) get along with an adopted 14 year old cat. We were very slow in introducing (didn't let them face to face for several months; it is now 6 months since they've been...
