    Cat and Kitten Food

    I feed my boys a variety of wet foods, and I buy the kitten formula cans for Freddy and the adult for Seamus, but what always winds up happening is that Freddy will see what Seamus is eating and go into his bowl, and Seamus will eat the kitten food because he got interrupted from his meal. It's...

    Some experienced advice needed

    My SO found a cat at work, little teeny thing, and they were attached all day so I told her to bring it home. I have him (I think) confined to the bathroom right now, and Seamus has run of the rest of the house, he's a little curious about what's behind the door, but I need to make sure this...

    Pink Belly

    I noticed last week that Seamus's lower belly has no hair on it. I got a good look today when he actually let me touch his belly and his belly is very pink. What would cause him to lose his hair?? What can I do to help him?? Background Info.. He's about 3, he's been eating the same food for...

    Probably Paranoid, but...

    This evening Seamus and I were sitting on the couch and I was eating my dinner, and Seamus started wheezing like he couldn't catch his breath... he did this for about 15 seconds, which felt like an eternity as I tried to keep myself from completely panicking, and then he puked a little bit of...

    Harness Questions

    I just bought Seamus a harness and leash, and my goal is to by this summer be able to take him to my parents' house with me and let him enjoy the backyard... I don't plan on walking him outside much other than the yard, because this is a relatively busy city street. I'm giving it so much time...

    My Morning Encouragement...

    This morning, I had a very tough time getting out of bed and wanting to go to work, I was exhausted and just drained from the week. Seamus, for the first time ever in two years, got on top of me and was pawing at me to get up, usually he just sits at the foot of the bed as I hit snooze a few...

    In Catnip HEAVEN

    I just got in from a friend's house and of course she bought Seamus a gift (I bought her dogs gifts too) and one was a mouse you fill with catnip... he is in his glory right now... I've never seen him so attached to a toy... he's carrying it around in his mouth and won't let me near him to...

    The Cutest Thing Ever

    This morning, I'm laying on the couch watching TV, and Seamus as usual sees this as an opportunity to make sure I'm lazy and don't get up, so he cuddles right in. The typical routine is he lays there and eventually opens up so I can get my hand in and he hugs my hand. I guess he was loving...

    Nail Clipping Q

    I've only started clipping Seamus's nails regularly recently, mainly because it took nearly two years for him to get comfortable enough to be handled by me, so yes, he went two years without clipping, and his nails honestly never got all that sharp, never got caught, etc. He scratched the rug...

    New Hideout

    I have the computer room set up as Seamus's room, litterbox, ironing board to lounge on as I sit on the computer, and his carrier without the door underneath, plus the closet is fairly empty so he can go hang out in there. I went through hell with vet visits all summer between his illness and...

    Plastic Bags

    I knew Seamus loved plastic bags, but today his love bit him in the bottom. I never leave them out once I empty them, but I laid a plastic bag near the litterbox just now so in five minutes after I was done getting ready I could scoop his box. Silly boy thought it was a toy and got into it and...

    Someone's become a biter

    Since Seamus has been neutered, done in August, (he's 2) he has become a very calm, docile cuddlebug from the crazy monster he was at times prior. However, he has developed a problem since, and he never did it before. He'll jump right up on me and at times, the second I put my arm around him...

    Hunting Instinct

    Last night, Seamus was rustling around a lot in the office, jumping from ironing board to dresser to on top of the little tv on the dresser and back and forth... I turn the light on and there's a big nasty bug near the ceiling... there was too much for him to land safely and he wouldn't jump at...

    Stinky Poo

    So Seamus just stunk me out of the room, which he does on occasion as a little gift to me, but he stunk himself out so bad he finished his business in the living room (dropped one tiny turd) and hid it in a napkin he found on the coffee table... he never goes potty outside the box, but this...

    Terrible Twos

    Seamus just turned two a couple months ago, and I've had him 2 years this December.. he's been neutered and now for the first time since I got him he's developing these terrible habits... biting my ankles, biting my arms when he wants me to play or when I shift if he's laying down with me on the...

    Worried, Need Reassurance (long)

    Seamus is 2 years old, and I've had him since 4 mos old. When I got him, I was working regular teaching hours, leave the house at 7:15-7:30 home at 4-5, and summers he gets a lot of time with me (he is still adjusting to the back to work thing ) This year I've begun coaching and I also tutor...

    The Kitty and the Potty

    Seamus has his litterbox set up in this room where I have an office and most of his stuff all set up for "his room" I doubt it's on purpose, but lately, it seems like he makes it a point to go poo when I am in here. At least once, and sometimes even twice a day, he insists on going when it's...

    Seamus did the funniest thing

    Seamus has adjusted pretty quickly to the back to work routine... play in the AM before work and play in the PM around bedtime... plus he has a tennis ball and two soft balls out to play with at his leisure. Last night I just crashed... I was literally on my feet from 8:30am to 4:30pm and I...

    Vomiting questions

    I think my cat is a vomiter... He was sick two months ago and vomiting was the big sign, mounds and mounds of food one night and heaving when he was empty... but once a week or so for about a month there's a clump of food in my living room or dining room. This has only started happening since I...

    Cat Chasing Tail!

    I thought only dogs chased their tails! Today Seamus was running around in circles chasing his tail... he's never done that and I thought he was too smart to chase his own body! Is it just because he is understimuated with me going back to work and not playing as often or is it a normal thing...
