I just got a new foster kitten and she's about 6 weeks old and she's not using the litter box. She's in an ex-pen with another kitten (not her sibling, but new BFF) who uses the box fine. I do not know what her history before now is. She was dirty and flea infested so I'm assuming she was...

So a little back story: Lera is about 4 y/o, neutered male cat. He is, what I call a former tom-cat in that he was neutered well into sexual maturity and had for most of his life lived on the streets being a gangsta street thug kitty. Then I got him. So, it's been great for two years, no...

Hi all, It's been a long time so I thought I'd reintroduce myself! I have two cats, Frank and Lera. Both are former tom cats (neutered well into sexual maturity) and are both from the shelter. Frank had severe entropian in both eyes and was more or less blind. He's had two sets of surgeries...

Hi all, I need a bit of help with a problem I'm having. I have two, recently adopted (well, technically one is still a foster) male cats. One male, Lera, is about 4 y/o, and neutered, though he was neutered late in life. He has been neutered for about 6 months. He was a stray from the...

Both of my new cats used to be an outdoor (or at least, mostly outdoor) cats. Lera is fine with being a house kitty--he seems to have no desire to go back outside but Frank does seem to miss it. He will sit at the sliding glass door and cry or stare plaintiviely outside or walk around and try...

As I posted in Harriet's memorial thread, I have two new kitty additions to the house. In Harriet's memory, I adopted an older (4ish) less adoptable cat. He's not quite as unadoptable as Harriet was but he'd still been at the shelter for about 6 months. He came in to the shelter angry and...

I had Harriet laid to rest about three weeks ago. The cancer had spread to a point where it was starting to be difficult for her to breathe so rather than allow her even a day of suffering, we had her put to sleep. It was the worst day of my life and I will always miss her. She was my soul...

I haven't posted in a long time. Tell me about your heart cats. Harriet is dying. She has cancer and she's my heart cat. I knew it the instant I adopted her but now, with her death looming over my head I am daily reminded that she will not be in my life forever. I love my dogs and I will...

Hi! I'm having a little trouble with my latest group of bottle babies and the litter box. They aren't even attempting to use it. The are starting to poop and pee on their own and have literally managed to poop everywhere BUT the box. I'm not expecting perfection and I still help them out and...

I did not until recently that this was an entire genre of internet pictures. But I love them. Def of lolcats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolcats and a great compendum of lolocats: www.icanhascheezburger.com SUPER FUNNY!

Paws up! Let's see how many of you crazy kids have bottle babies and lets keep track/complain/share and let the world know how awesome it is to help out some bebbe kittehs! I have three babies, they're just coming up on a week and couple of days and their eyes are just starting to open. I've...

I've had quite a few bottle babies but I'm having trouble stimulating urine from one of my newest ones. She's has to pee, I can feel her bladder and I can express it, but when I stimulate her, she won't go. She got checked out by the vet and had a full bladder despite having just been stimulated...

"I'm not even going to look at you" "I'm going to pee on your bed" "There will be blood, oh yes, there will be blood"

In a couple of weeks fat Harriet is going to go in for a senior check up. What things to you recomend that she have done/looked at?

The dang cat. She wants to be in your lap but hates to be picked up and screams and fusses when you do, but is too fat/old to jump up in your lap and if you just leave her on the ground, she screams and fusses and paws at you until you do pick her up and put her in your lap. She can't make...

A repsonse on another thread got me thinking: Do you guys know any GREAT cat behavior books? I'm thinking something like "Culture Clash" (a dog book) for cats or something like that. I don't want a book with just anecdotes and cute stories but real insight. Any suggestions?

Harriet loves her cat grass: and she loves to be lazy on the couch:

I wake up before my b/f usually and when I come back in the room to get socks my fat lady have moved onto my side of the bed, using my pillow like a pillow and sometimes has a paw drapped over my boyfriend. Then, to add insult to injury she usually looks up, smugly and sayd "Rrrroooow" and...

This is the reason I fell in love with her. Listen to that meow. Doesn't it sound like she's some surly old waitress who's been smoking for 30 years?

Are there such things as "chewies" for cats? Like rawhides or bully sticks for dogs? Fat Harriet has old-lady teef that could use some work and I'd like for her to chew a bit. I tried feline greenies but the cow just swallows them whole. We also have some active kitties at the shelter that...
