    No relaxation for you!!!

    I try and do yoga a few times a week, and other than one of the boys laying on my mat, I have never had any issues. Today I decided to do a yoga relaxation DVD and the result was hilarious. I have special prop pillows and wool blankets for relaxation poses, but I must admit that I rarely use...

    Question about tests for Allergies

    I was curious if anyone here has had their cat tested for allergies? I would really like to know if you can have selected testing done, and if it's via blood testing? I would like to find out what meats (if any) my cat is allergic to.

    How often do you clean toys?

    I was just curious about how often people clean their cats plastic and stuffed toys, and what they clean them with? I use diluted bleach on the plastics, and put stuffed toys through the washer. Other toys that cannot be washed (i.e. crinkle balls and toys with speakers in them) I toss when they...

    Hypnos does the weirdest thing

    OK, has anyone else had this experience? Anytime Hypnos is by the food bowls and either needs food or is finishing a meal, he scratches/paws around the food bowl. Ares looks at him like he's nuts - I think its funny but wonder if there is a behavioral reason for it?

    Mixed reactions??

    I am not sure what to make of Ares's reaction to our new kitten, Hypnos. They have met a few times (VERY short sessions). They have eaten with each other and Ares licks Hypnos , but when Hypnos tries to run around and play, Ares starts wrestling and biting (a few times it was rather rough)...

    Food advice for IBD

    Hi, my vet thinks my kitty has IBD, and wanted him to go on a diet with meats which included venison, rabbit, or duck. Ares likes to have both wet and dry food, so I purchased Nature's Variety Rabbit meal (dry). I opened the bag, and the kibble is the size of small boulders in comparison to the...

    Hi, I was hoping for a little advice regarding biting. Ares is a very active and playful 6 month old. He occasionally tries to bite when playing, but a few weeks ago, I was wearing a pair of very soft and thick socks, he began to attack my feet. At the time I told him no, and moved him away from...

    Need advice on cat shampoos

    Hi, I was hoping that I could get some advice on a good cat shampoo that is gentle on the coat and the skin. Ares has very short fur, and I don't want to use anything harsh - I've browsed different shampoos, but nothing has jumped out at me. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated Becca...

    Treat balls for cats?

    Hi all! I was looking at some toys for my kitty Ares, and found the Play n Treat ball, which when rolled around, dispenses treats or dry kibble. I thought it might be useful when Hubby and I are eating dinner, as a way to keep our kitty entertained while we eat. Has anyone had good/bad...
