I found this link on another board, and it's fun. You upload a photo of yourself, and it analyzes the features and tells you which celebrity you most resemble. I got Marlon Brando (the young version), then I figured out you could select either male or female, and when I chose female, I got...

I've had Sam for about 6 years, he's probably about 10 years old. 5 years ago, I got a lovely water dispenser - the simple version of a bottle turned over on a water tray. (hard to describe). Bailey loves it. The kitty who lives upstairs loves it - runs right over for a drink when she come to...

My upstairs neighbours are away. They have a friend "housesitting", but she's only there at night, and she doesn't like having the cat sleep on the bed with her. Their cat is a lovely little manx cat, who is extremely affectionate. And because the neighbours are both nurses, and often work...

Two things by way of introduction. I play clarinet, have played since I was a kid. Back in the day, we had a dog, who hated the clarinet. He'd go hide in the darkest corner of the basement to get away from it. My cat's aren't that bad, but they definitely leave the room when I start...

I bought the cats a new toy that is a little like this. It has clear plastic rings, with very light ping pong type balls in them. One around the outside, one inset in a track inside the circle. The cats can see the balls, and they are light enough that they fly around with the least small...

I live in a one floor apartment, living room at one end, dining room at the other. Sam has staked a claim to the living room, and Bailey took the dining room. Sam also "owned" the bedroom, Bailey would only ever sit in the doorway. But recently, in the past few months, she has been getting...

My upstairs neighbour found a very pretty little calico kitten, wandering in our parking area. We live on a very busy city street, and there are some feral cats in the area, but this one had a collar and tag, so he chased her, caught her and brought her inside. We left her in our little foyer...

I'm going to be away for 11 days. I have been away this long before, but for some reason I am more worried about things going wrong this time. My upstairs neighbours are looking after my two beasts. We often have our doors open (we're in an old house, I'm on the second floor, they have a...

A while ago, I bought a Drinkwell fountain for my cats. They ignored it. I left it running for several months, faithfully cleaning it and changing the water. They continued to ignore it. I gave it to my upstairs neighbours. They didn't like it. So I emailed the local cat rescue society...

I've had Bailey for about 2 1/2 years (and she's probably 5 or 6 years old now). She has always been a timid cat, very wary of new situations. She loves being picked up and petted, but won't sit on a lap. To get to my shoulder when I am sitting on the couch, she has to leap up on the arm, to...

I don't know if anyone lives in the general area of Salem, Indiana, and would be able to help or give advice. I am a member of another board, and one of the members there claims to be a "cat person". As in, she feeds feral cats in her neighbourhood, and has an unspecified number in her home...

First question: is it possible to teach a cat to keep her claws sheathed when she is being cuddled? Bailey loves to snuggle against my shoulder, and she purrs and stretches out her front legs, with claws extended. She sort of paws at the air, but once in a while, I get sharp claws in my arm or...

This is my silly girl Bailey. I have no idea why she decided to sit in the flower pot, when there was a whole empty window ledge to choose from. Although it is the pot I use to grow her cat grass.

I am on another board, that is not cat related, and one of the members "cares for" a bunch of stray cats. She mentioned having litters of new kittens, and has described her little community as "that is the only cat left from [parent's] litter." I asked her at the outset why she was letting the...

My cats keep my busy all year round, but come spring, I just can't wait to get out into the garden. I had a pretty sad looking garden until about three years ago, when I had a friend plan a perennial garden for me. There is some stuff in there that I had already planted, or was here when I...

I was just trying to brush Sam. I use a zoom groom, which collects gobs of hair, and he is shedding his undercoat now that the warm weather is here. So he's a big mess. And hates being groomed. Usually, I sit on the top stair, with him lying on the landing, and I bribe him with treats. He...

I am happy with all of the ads on the site, we need to put up with this stuff, to keep the internet free or very low cost to users. However, the first time I log on to the forum, I get a pop up for arcade.com (I think). Its been going on for a week or more. And it happens on different...

The new board design is lovely, and once I got used to it, I really like it. (I don't like change very much). One thing I have noticed, however, is that people are posting in pretty colours, other than black, and on some pages, this is virtually illegible. Is there some way of letting people...

Happy May Day, everyone. Its finally warmed up enough here to be called spring. And its about time. Its raining, and has been just about every day, a little bit, but I am very pleased because the garden has just come alive in the past week or two. I have my first spring flowers (after the...
