    Vanilla extract question

    I'm thinking of trying the vanilla extract with Obie and Girlie but I need some clarification... I've read on this site that I should apply a drop or two under the chin, and the base of the tail. Under the chin is easy to understand. What exactly does the base of the tail mean? Just above...

    Rolling or sleeping on the clean spot

    I assume you mean you threw the toilette lid cover onto the laundry room floor and Seti didn't actually climb into the machine, right? ...though I wouldn't be surprised if a cat actually did that Catnip doesn't excite Girlie. The boys love it, whether it's the actual dried leaves or the...

    Butt In The Face

    Hmmm, kitty identification... I never thought of that. Obie does the same kinda thing, but I think with him it's more because he doesn't like anyone but his brother or sister being close to his face. If I'm laying on the couch and watching tv, he'll sometimes hop up on my stomach and lay down...

    Rolling or sleeping on the clean spot

    Just wondering if any of your cats do the same thing... Our three cats are long hair cats. From time to time they'll have a poop stuck to their bum fur when they leave the litter box and it'll drop off somewhere on the floor. Sometimes someone steps on it -usually me - and I clean the area...

    Cat eating worlds best litter

    Not to ignore the health suggestions given but could it have something to do with the ingredients of the litter and the food that they're fed? World's Best Cat Litter is made from corn... Isn't that one of the filler ingredients that some cat foods use? When my gf and I first got our cats...

    My Kitten Won`t Let Me Groom Her!

    I hold them down and pet them first. When they start to enjoy that and relax a bit, my other hand will reach over to the Furminator or a comb and get to work while my other hand continues petting. Soon after they realize what's going on so my petting hand goes into restraining mode and holds...

    Cat Attract... Any ideas?

    I was in a pet store to buy a bag of kitty litter and overheard someone talking to an employee about litter suggestions. The employee when through all the types they had in stock and when he came to the Cat Attract he looked over at me since he had sold me a bag of it a long time ago. I told...

    Favorite places to hack up hairballs?

    Ahh, that's where the thread was! I remembered seeing it but couldn't find it. I figured if your cat likes the bed and mine likes the corner of the living room rug, maybe other cats have their own special puke places. There's gotta be a way to get them to do it in a particular spot like the...

    Favorite places to hack up hairballs?

    Last night I was watching TV and heard one of our cats coughing. I looked over the coffee table and saw Obie on the corner of the rug attempting to cough up a hairball. I moved him to the wood floor thinking it would be easier to clean than the carpet but he quickly made his way back to the...

    Strange Sleeping Habbits

    Girlie likes to hang out in the bathroom. Her favorite spots to sleep or just hang out seem to be the sink, tub, and between the toilette and wall. The past few nights I've woken up in the morning to find that she had wiggled her way under the bed sheets and curled up into a ball beside me...

    love bites?

    Obie does that to me a lot. Last time was just a few minutes ago when I come home I'll usually lie in bed for a while and check my email or surf the web on my iPhone. He'll come up to me, give me head bonks for a bit, then fall on his back for some tummy rubs. While I'm scratching his belly...

    Princess acting like a dog???

    Heh, Obie does that all the time with his favourite toys ^_^ While carrying them to a new place, he'll make a noise that sounds like a howl. Arrrruuuuuuaaaa! Arrrrruuuuuuaaaa! Arrrruuuuuaaaa! He can get quite loud. It bugs my girlfriend at night when we're trying to sleep, but it makes me...

    Are your cats inside, outside, or both?

    My cats are strictly indoor cats. We live in a condo on the 5th floor but it was also a consious decision. Given a choice I think they would remain indoors. We've left the front door open a few times to see if the would go out into the hallway and they were too scared. When the door is...

    What food do you use and WHY:)

    When we first got our cats we tried Nutro, Wellness and a bunch of other dry foods... They didn't like any of them After doing a bit of research we tried feeding them Orijen and they all loved it. Then the vet told us the boys needed to lose weight so we slowly switched them to Hill's...

    Oh that Theif!

    We can't leave our eye glasses laying around or Girlie will play with them at night. We also have to make sure there isn't any cutlery drying in the sink. Otherwise we'll find them under the couch. All her favourite toys end up there Also have to make sure little things like hair ties...

    What Things Annoy Your Cats?

    -Clipping their nails -Loud noises (especially when I'm writting songs on the acoustic I keep at my gf's place or there's a party and people are talking loudly in the hallway) -combing or cutting matts out of their fur (ticked off Girlie last night) -Baths -Closed doors, especially the bathroom...

    Identifying cats by feel

    I can definitely tell them apart! Girlie - lots of fluffy fur, not a lot of cat. Obie - Solid body and bigger than Girlie. Head will move away if your hand comes near his face (especially around the eyes area). Lots of loose belly skin since he lost weight. Oscar - Fatter than Obie and his...

    Will they get used to the feeding schedule?

    My two boys, Oscar and Obie, need to lose a little bit of weight. The vet told us how much food they should get per day and we've divided that amount into 3 or 4 feedings. The problem is that they always seem to be hungry. When Oscar is hungry, he'll watch us and if we stand up he'll bolt to...

    How Does Your Cat Respond to Fresh Catnip?

    They roll around in it and drool. I sprinkled those cardboard scratch pad thingys a few times and in minutes their soaked. eeew!

    Does your cat like to be picked up?

    Girlie doesn't mind so much if you walk around and pet her. As soon as you sit down she'll try to squirm out of your arms. Obie doesn't like being picked up but once you have him he doesn't struggle. Oscar will crouch down and tense up which makes him feel heavier and harder to pick up. When...
