My cat Lusa (spayed female, about a year old) is my first indoor only cat. She urinated on my bed and the dog's bed, but I'm not sure if it's spray marking or peeing. On my bed, she peed little droplets a vinyl picnic table cover cloth that I use to protect the mattress because my dog is old...

Lusa is my female kitty, about 7 months old. I think she loves me since she follows me from room to room, initiates play, and...I feed her She's always been mouthy since I found her when she was about 1 month old. I was hoping that she'd outgrow the mouthiness, or that she was just teething...

My kitty Lusa is about 6 1/2 months old. Our vet wanted to wait until the end of November to spay her because of her repeated URI problems (she was a stray). Well, she had a URI flare over Thanksgiving (runny green discharge from her nose) and was on antibiotics for a few weeks. Lusa is...

My kitty Lusa is between 5 and 6 months old. When I found her, she was about 4-6 weeks old and suffering from an URI. I feed her premium wet cat food and supplement with Viralys. She is UTD on her vaccinations. She seems to go through these relapses of eye goop/sneezing/coughing. The vet...

It's Lusa's first Fall and she had to check things out as mom decorated. She decided to play peek-a-boo in the autumn table cloth and sniff all those strange new "cat toys". Happy Autumn, everyone!

Is it normal for owners who aren't all that familiar with cat breeds (such as myself) to "see" an Oriental breed look to their moggie or stray kittens? When I took my kitten Lusa to the vet about a month ago, I asked the vet tech if Lusa looked a bit Siamese. She said that she thought the same...

I generally dump all the the litter in Lusa's pans on a weekly basis. I use Arm and Hammer Super Scoop Fragrance Free. Is this too frequent to change all of the litter? I'm going through about a package and 1/2 of litter a week. The reason I do this is, even though I scoop the litter boxes at...

I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what Lusa (about 3 months old) likes to eat in wet food. There are times she seems to love what I feed her, other times not. I've fed her a variety of brands so far, Innova Evo, Natural Balance, Nutro Max, Castor and Pollux, Nature's Variety, and Solid...

Hi everyone, for those of you who brush your cat's teeth, how old was your cat when you started? How difficult was it, and how did you get the cat used to it? My kitten is about 3 months old now. I'd like to get her acclimated to it if it's recommended as it is in dogs. Thanks!

Hi everyone! You guys might not remember me since I haven't posting all that frequently, but my rescue kitten Lusa and my elderly dog Stockey are getting along quite well. I had real concerns since I didn't think Stockey would accept her (he wasn't socialized with cats by his former owners as...

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I updated you all on my rescue kitten Lusa. She's about 10 weeks old now. I had some real concerns about her health and weight. The good news: She weighs 2 lbs 8 oz. She gained a whopping 21 ounces in a little over a month and is in a normal weight range...

A well-meaning friend of mine gave me some really beautiful beefsteak, cherry, and plum tomatos from his garden. The problem is that I just can't stand raw fresh tomatos, but I took them anyway because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. I like most sauces made out of cooked tomatos, but there...

Lusa was getting a bit bored with her toys, so she decided to amuse herself in other ways Yet another day of playing with the donut (yawn) Sure, I look good with this toy, but oh the ennui Now this is a interesting toy...a pit bull's tail and his leg Now for a bit of light reading...

Hi everyone. Lusa is now 2 months old and I'd like to get her used to her new room (our upstairs attic bedroom). When we can't supervise her, she currently stays in the bathroom. Obviously, she's going to outgrow the bathroom so we want to move her upstairs. We tried putting her up there for...

Now that my kitty Lusa is getting bigger (approx. 2 months old), it's more difficult for me to apply her antibiotic eye ointment for her URI. She's harder to hold and more active, so I'm worried that I'm not getting the ointment in properly before she squirms off my lap. Does anyone have tips...

Lusa has a strange but cute little behavior. After she finishes eating her dinner, she'll often lightly paw the floor around the food dish a few times. She's not scratching the floor, just gently pawing it like she was wiping her paws on a napkin. I expect her to ask me for an after-dinner mint...

I've called the vet twice about Lusa's reaction to the dewormer I gave her last Tuesday, but I'm still worried about it. She's had diarrhea several times since Tuesday. The food's going through her undigested. She still eating and drinking, thank goodness. The vet's office said that it'll run...

Lusa (about 7 or 8 weeks old) seems a little thin to me, but I haven't had a kitten in many, many years. Does anyone know a good way to test whether a kitten is underweight or normal? Is it normal for them to get a bit lanky during growth spurts? I give her a high quality kitten food twice a...

Lusa is my little foster kitty that I found on the side of the road. Obviously she's not any particular breed, but I'm curious what her color is called. She's black in some light and very dark brown in other light. She has some very faint striping on her sides and legs, so I guess she's a tabby...

When my kitten Lusa is in my lap, she'll sometimes rub her face against my hand a couple of times and give me a gentle "love bite". She never hurts me and lets my hand go if I pull it away. She seems relaxed and enjoying herself when she does it. Why does she do this? Is this just a kitten...
