    People suck

    WOW. When I couldn't decide between all the kitties available at the cat rescue, I ended up picking the cat that matched the furniture because I just couldn't decide between all the sweet cats there. Now that I have gotten to know her, and trained away the bad habits she picked up at the...

    I don't want to get rid of my cat!! HELP!

    Your husband should get allergy tests to pinpoint what is causing his issues. There could be something else in the house causing the problem. It would be horrible to get rid of the kitty, thoroughly clean the home of dander and still have the problem. He could have been suffering with the...

    Married/Cohabitating couples: How do you split rent?

    Hubby and I have one checking account. All of our paychecks auto deposit there. All bills are paid out of that account. We discuss all purchases over 100 dollars before they are made. We consider it all OUR money- even though I do make more than he does. I am far more organized than he is...

    How to cook the turkey giblets for cats?

    I bake the giblets and neck in a tiny bit of water while roasting the turkey. While I wait for the turkey to cool before slicing, I strip the neck of the meat. I then chop up the neck meat and giblets together with the water. Homemade turkey and giblet dinner! My kitty loves it... and it...

    "Forever tray" for Scoopfree Auto Litterbox

    I love the forever tray. I dump it out whenever I wish, scrub it out in my garage utility sink, dry with paper towels, and refill. I have tried different crystal litters but Target usually has the Fresh Step crystals on sale for 12 dollars per 8 pound bag once in a while. I stock up. I buy...

    Vet diet- cat won't eat. Boiled skim milk?

    Boiling milk makes the lactose and complex proteins break down. Making it safer for cats. Call the vet back and ask if you have questions about why they recommended it.

    Allergy

    Bathe the kitty as often as once a week. If you can get some Allerpet shampoo that is great, but any cat shampoo will help. This reduces the amount of dander the cat gets all over your house. Vacuum a lot. Like everyday or close to it. Dust often too. Furniture should be vacuumed too. (If...

    Cat pooping on floor

    It is possible to do the tests one at a time so it's not such a financial problem? Or at least not have to do all of them at once. My cat is so afraid of the vet...I have to do the one at a time routine for my kitty because she gets so scared the vet won't handle her for more than a few...

    Cat is doing his job in our indoor potted plant

    Sometimes people use rough edged gravel to cover the dirt in their plant pots. It's not comfortable for kitty, so they end up leaving the plant alone. The gravel is not sharp enough to hurt the kitty, by the way! I wouldn't advocate hurting the kitty.

    Coughing in his sleep

    If my cat is in deep sleep, it takes her a while to wake up. Even if I pick her up and move her sometimes she won't wake up right away! If it happens again, you can always feel for the pulse in her neck. It will be right above the collarbone, you may have to move your fingers up and down...

    what's the longest you feel comfy leaving your cat alone?

    My cat gets so lonely and pines away for affection if I leave longer than that. Even with someone stopping by the house it's not enough attention and she gets destructive and refuses to eat. She is a Siamese so I am not too surprised. For two days I just make sure the ScoopFree is clean, and...

    Automatic Litter Boxes

    I can't smell the pee at all if I stir the crystals daily, and change out the tray every two weeks. When I fed only dry food, it went a month between changes. Now I feed wet food mostly- so more pee. I only have one kitty though. She is not picky about her box whatsoever- I could use...

    self cleaning cat box trays for the scoop free ultra

    It works terrific! Any type of crystal litter works, except for one kind I found that has very very large crystals (large crystals get stuck in the rake). I just dump out the contents like I would any regular old cat litter. (double bag, and toss out in trash). Then I use hot water and...

    Kitten's biting absolutely out of control

    What worked with my cat was that every time he bit I put him in a separate room. The laundry room already had the litter box on one end and the food/water on another. He would not get any sort of attention from biting except to be put in this room. Took about a month of doing this EVERY time...

    Seriously. Its MY food!

    Keep her in a separate room when you are eating or have food out. That is really the only way to keep her from getting at it. My parents adopted a stray kitten that had survived on fast food dumpster burgers. It took about a year of shutting him in a separate room while we ate before he got...

    Cat urine scent and home purchase

    Try to have the house as dark as possible and use a black light to see if there is evidence of urine that has not been cleaned up properly. I mean go through the WHOLE house. If there is pee in one room, there is probably pee in others that the owner didn't know about. Walls, ceilings...

    How do your cats greet you when you get home?

    If she sees my car coming towards the house, she will jump down from her favorite window and be waiting when I open the front door. Then she purrs and flops down so I can pet her on the base of her tail and under the chin. If she hears the car but she can't see it she does the same thing. She...

    Little food theives...

    My parents adopted a 6 month old kitten that had survived on dumpster scraps its whole life. The poor thing would cry and scream for human food because it didn't even recognize cat food as food. The only thing that helped the behavior was to keep the cat in a separate room with cat food...

    OMG- Litter box odor:!!

    I have found that Feline Pine does nothing for poop smells at all. The pellets are so big that the cat can't even cover up the poop- especially with the tiny amount the bag says to put in the box! To tell you the truth, I think the whole house smells like an uncleaned barnyard with Feline Pine...

    Cat that can't eat liver!

    Your responses here make me feel a lot better I saw the 95% meats food in a store near my home. She will eat the turkey or chicken, but only about 1 teaspoon worth. I use it to hide medications Kitty is dragging the Bird toy over and going "squak squak squak" in that cute Siamese voice She...
