    Cat enclosures and screened in porches

    Thanks for the info on Petscreen. I looked that up online, and hope I can get something like that at Home Depot, etc. A lot of our pet-less or dog owner friends use something called 'mosquito cloth' to cover their decks. I don't even have to look at mosquito cloth to know that it wouldn't work...

    Cat enclosures and screened in porches

    Ours is an indoor cat who LOVES being outside. And in our area being outdoors on his own is not an option. We have a lovely deck that I would sit on and read for hours before Cappy came into our lives 2 years agi. Now, he just meows and meows to be outside with me. Harnessing him and tying him...

    Replacing a cat tree ?

    Oh my goodness, my Cappy would LOVE that huge cat tree in your picture and the one on the amazon site! I'm going to start looking around. Lin

    Replacing a cat tree ?

    Our three year old has had a certain cat tree since we got him. He loves it. It's a floor to ceiling model and he loves sitting on the very top level away from everyone. When we have people over. It's his safe place. When he's afraid he doesn't run under a bed, he goes to his highest level. It's...

    How to keep my cat off the screens!

    Help! Now that spring and summer are here and I have to keep the windows open, my cat Cappy, decides that the screens are a good place to flex his claws. Ugh! How do you stop that behaviour? I don't want our screens shredded. Lin

    Keeping Cappy calm thru daily ear treatments

    I'm putting this on the 'behavior' forum rather than the health one, because this is a potential behaviour challenge. Our dear Cappy has ear polyps that require daily cleaning, anti-biotic drops 3 X a week, and once a week a thorough squirting with some saline cleanser that we got from our vet...

    Ear polyp returns, considering ear canal ablation

    I'd be interested to know the answer to this as well. Our dear little 3 year old Cappy has ear polyps in his left ear. We got some drops from our Vet - Surolan - and were told to put them in his ear twice or three times a week. We were also told that surgery might be available for around $800...

    Feline Acne

    We have been cleaning our Cappy's chin every day with warm water and then applying polysporin. Someone here mentioned Stridex pads, but wouldn't they be too strong for a cat? I'd be afraid of using anything with alcohol in it. Lin

    cat acne

    For some reason, I didn't notice all the recent posts on 'feline acne' before I posted this new thread. Don't know how I missed it. But the postings have been quite helpful! ( No need to post here.) Lin

    cat acne

    Our 2 1/2 year old cat has suffered with sores on his chin since we got him from the shelter a year ago. Our vet thought they might be scratches "from his former days when he was a tom cat" (before he came home to us, neutered and loved and we turned this homeless street fighter into an indoor...

    Very interesting documentary on cats

    I didn't know quite where to post this, but I just watched a most interesting documentary on cats. It's on the CBC TV program - Doc Zone and called Cat Craze. It was on CBC TV here in Canada, but I believe it can be watched online at: http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Shows/Doc_.../ID=1724295516 A...

    Car traveling in a car - do we feed?

    We're taking our cat on a two day car trip to visit my mother for Christmas. We're leaving tomorrow early a.m. and staying in a motel for one night. Our cat will be in a carrier, but there will be times when he'll be out of it. Our back seat will have his litter, and cat kennel with his favorite...

    poopy Bum

    They're pretty soft. They have always been this way. We feed him Purina Pro Plan for INdoor Cats - what fiber should they be eating? lin

    poopy Bum

    Sometimes - well more often than not - our cat trots out of the litter box with a poopy bum. If we notice him right away we clean it off. He's a gentle cat and doesn't mind. He's an indoor cat. It bothers me that he seems to take so long to groom himself and clean up after using the litter box...

    Very Funny Behavior

    I LOVE reading these stories, too! There are three things that make 'Cappie' come running! When he hears the printer, the breadmaker or the sewing machine. He can be in the deepest sleep on the couch and hears the printer, perks up his ears and races into the office! It's so funny to watch...

    Can cats have separation anxiety?

    Probably he just doesn't like being locked away in a room by himself. Do you not allow him to sleep with you? Our cat doesn't like any closed door, and even when we're in the bathroom, if the door is closed, he'll paw at it. (Since there is only my husband and me who live here, we usually...

    Are all cats this modest?

    Our 2 1/2 year old black darling of a cat is VERY modest about his litter box habits. If we happen to walk past him when he's using his box, he'll crouch down, or he'll meow expressing his displeasure. His litter box is in the same room where we store a lot of boxes, and yesterday afternoon we...

    Oh how I've missed my Cappy

    We are sitting in the airport waiting to board the plane which will take us HOME finally after being away visiting family for 3 weeks. It's been a lovely visit - it always is when one gets to spend time with their grand children - but OH how we've missed our Cappy. We have had a friend stay at...
