    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

    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 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?

    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...

    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...

    Cat-safe glue?

    My girlfriend and I are building a cat tree and I was wondering if anyone knows of wood glues that won't give off fumes that are harmful to cats. Most pieces will be screwed together but some will require glue. Also, what about hot glue? I was thinking of using it when wrapping sisal around...

    How do I get the guy active???

    My buddy Oscar is slightly overweight and LAZY. All he does is eat, sleep, and visit the litter box. The only time he runs is when Girlie is playfully chasing him around the condo (which clearly annoys him after a while) or to the kitchen area when he thinks it's time for another feeding...

    Cat likes to pee on the litter catcher mat

    Oscar seems to like peeing on the litter catcher mat. We thought it might be a UTI or some other health related problem but the vet gave him a clean bill of health... He just seems to like peeing on it. This is the mat: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2755050 When the mat isn't...

    Is is more disgusting than cute, but...

    Last week I was laying on the couch watching tv. One of my cats, Obie, came to say hello and jumped up on my stomach. I pet him while he was kneading my stomach and all was good in the world: I was half asleep and he was purring. Nothing good is on tv but we're both chilling and enjoying the...
