Poor Archimedes is constipated. We have tried giving him pumpkin (which he really likes) but it doesn't seem to be helping. Tonight, I gave him about 1/4 cup of herbal tea that contains senna. What else can I try?
Diesel, my 1yr old tabby, is having an inappropriate peeing issue. He is a neutered male. I have consulted the vet about the issue and he doesn't have a urinary tract infection or anything physically wrong.
The problem is that between the hours of 3:30 and 4:30am, he gets really excited about...
So I started this thread http://www.thecatsite.com/t/246465/i-nearly-stepped-on-her about a kitten that I am currently fostering. She is 6wks old and doesn't seem to know about litterbox behavior. Will she pick this up on her own if she is caged with a litterbox or do I have to encourage her...
Hubby and I were in the back yard throwing a frisbee back and forth when I missed a catch. I bent down to pick up the frisbee and noticed this sweet little girl just where I had stepped. I am going to call her Sniffles. Since the vet is closed today, I borrowed a rabbit cage from the...
I was at Menard's today and found this cat litter called "Brilliance Cat Litter" It didn't seem like anything else on the market. I called the info line and asked if it was made from silica crystals and they said that it wasn't silica. They didn't say exactly what it was, but I am giving it a...
I have decided to have the neighbor boy (around 16yrs old) to care for the cats while hubby and I take a two week vacation sometime soon. We usually board the cats, but now that we have four, the cost is rather prohibitive and I would like to see the cats stay in their home environment instead...
A gal in the neighborhood got foreclosed on and moved out sometime in the last couple of days (I hadn't been home). The guy who lives next door to her and across the street from me approached me while I was mowing and asked if I wanted any fish. I was confused, so he asked me to follow him...
Ok, so I made this:
It reads "welcome" in Japanese Kanji and is meant to hang on the wall. I would like to present it as a gift to the Japanese couple who own a local sushi restaurant. Hubby and I have eaten there about 3x a month for several years now and are known regulars.
I don't want...
Can anyone tell me about the effectiveness of Prozac on aggressive cat behavior? We have already tried all of the vet's suggestions except for the Prozac, but I think that it is finally time to give it a try.
The Archie man is way too aggressive with Marcie and Darcy to the point of them...
This is something that has been in my family for as long as I can remember but I don't know what it is. I have long suspected that it is a pipe of some sort, but the end is sealed and I have never figured out how to open it. What is it - does anyone know how I can find out?
After a little over a week of using the litterbox really well, he slipped up again. Hubby and I went for a walk and when we returned, it was time for a shower. We left Archie in the house and as near as we can tell, he stayed upstairs with the two girls the entire time.
Since Archie has had...
Ok, so the vet gave Archie (Archimedes) the all-clear on Bladder health. No UTI any more, no crystals. She says that the reason he might still be peeing outside the litterbox on occasion is poor upbringing. Maybe he was taken from his mom too soon. I really don't know.
Last night he was in...
Archimedes actually peed on my bed - very frustrating.
Here is my theory though:
He is 4.5mos old (approx) and he had spent an hour tearing around the house playing with Darcy. As I was headed to bed, he tore into the bedroom at full speed, jumped on the bed, squatted and peed.
Is it...
I need advice about Archimedes! His original thread is here: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=221113
BTW, Mods Please feel free to move this thread if it doesn't belong here!
I was originally going to try to keep up my promise to hubby by finding Archimedes a new home, but now...
