Well, I had finally made up my mind to switch my cats from IAMS (corn and by-products-yuck!) to Wellness which sounded like a great food. Last night, I happened to be on a forum on Yahoo where they were talking about garlic being toxic for cats. (onions too) It can lead to "Heinz body"...
Well, Oliver has pretty well gotten over the biting our fingers stage. He has now met my other three cats. He is constantly charging at them, hissing at them and swatting at them. I think it's because he wants to play. They seem to be tolerating it pretty well, possibly because he's so much...
Our new kitten, Oliver thinks that fingers are to be bitten. He is the eighth cat we've gotten since we've been married and I've never had one who's so into biting. It is play biting, he isn't biting really hard. He just gets extremely fired up and then he bites. We do not play the finger...
We picked up our new kitten last night. He's a seal lynx point Siamese. He'll be 14 wks. old on Sunday. He is just as sweet as pie. My husband slept in our spare bedroom with him on the floor. (we never got around to getting a bed in there) My hubby said the kitty nestled in the crook of...
My poor husband, we had to have his cat put to sleep in early February. He (Dickens) was his buddy. Our other two cats have picked me as their person. So, we got a new kitten the end of February and my husband even slept in that room for almost a week to try to get the kitten to bond with...
I used to feed my cats canned food years ago. (and dry too) I stopped feeding canned because it seemed like whenever my cats threw up it was the canned and it was such a pain to clean up. I also was under the impression that it was bad for the cat's teeth. And feeding dry food free choice...
We have three cats right now and will be getting a fourth in another 3-5 wks. I have always had good luck with all my cats getting along. (they curl up together etc.) I'm pretty confident that cat no. four wil fit in fine. We've also talked about getting a fifth cat but I wonder when will the...
Just curious if you like male or female cats a bit better. My husband and I have only ever had one female (spayed) cat and the rest have all been neutered males. My husband's opinion is that the males are more affectionate and easy-going. We have three neutered males and I thought it might be...
In October, I noticed a tiny pink (looked like a cyst) growth on my neutered male Siamese, Phantom. I took him to my Vet who was surprised I even found it, it was so tiny. (looked pale pink like the size of a cat nipple) He said it would be best to just leave it alone at that point but to...
I'm beginning to wonder if I am just cursed or if purebred cats don't live as long as domestic short or long hairs. My cat history is Sam-DSH who lived to be 16 and probably died of liver or kidney problems. (a nice long life) The next cat was Icsis, a Siamese, who only lived to be 5 1/2 and...
I just wanted to say hello. I'm from Ohio. My husband, two daughters and I have a six year old lilacpoint Siamese named Phantom, a four yr. old silver spotted tabby Oriental Shorthair named Quincy and our newest addition, a 14 wk. old chocolatepoint Balinese named Boscoe. We hope to add cat...
Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and would like opinions. We have a six yr. old cat-Phantom, a four yr. old cat-Quincy and a new kitten who we got a couple weeks ago-Boscoe. Phantom is tolerating Boscoe pretty well. Quincy won't run and hide when Boscoe is around but he decided he didn't...
