    Help! 250 Cats Have Disappeared!

    Hi Jewelcat Thank you for your prompt reply. I did not realize you were trying to get in touch with me. I checked for a personal message but it says I have none. Thanks for the link. It looks like a couple of the articles ran 29th December and 20th April in the Ledger Dispatch. Armed with...

    Help! 250 Cats Have Disappeared!

    Hi Jewelcat I'm sure you are busy with all of this and have not had time to reply to my earlier posts. I understand how that can be, but would like to ask again that you reply to this with some information, as I would like to help. Because of the procrastinating pack rat that I am , I happen...

    Help! 250 Cats Have Disappeared!

    Hi Jewelcat I was shocked to read your post, and can't believe this is happening in my own "back yard". I also live in East County. I watch the KRON news each evening when I get home. We subscribe to the Times, which we read every day. I have seen/heard nothing of this until now. When...

    bad breath

    I wanted to add that our cat Sophie had bad breath when I got her from the shelter at 7 months of age - I figured it wasn't her fault and I'd love her anyway. She was very skittish, and mostly hung out under the bed. The shelter said she was born feral, so I figured this was the way she was...

    Keeping cat off kitchen table

    I've heard of using foil, but my cats try to eat it, so it doesn't work for me. Maybe some of those double sided adhesive sheets would work. I think they're called "sticky paws". Good luck, and tell someone to forget the mouse trap idea - I don't think it will work the way someone thinks.

    Kittie "Barking"

    Sophie (our indoor huntress) does this only when she is watching birds out the window. She'll chase flys all over the house, but she doesn't make the noise at them - only at the birds outside the window. It's like she's scolding the birds for being there.

    switching from free feeding to portions

    Hi Donna Thank you for your reply. What you say makes good sense. It didn't occur to me that maybe part of the reason they are reacting is because they see that their bowls are empty and they've always known them to be full. Tonight when I get home I will let them eat for the hour, then pull...

    switching from free feeding to portions

    I apologise for this being so long. We are experiencing a slight behavior problem trying to switch our cats from having all the food they desire to limited portions per day. Last Friday our vet ordered us to stop allowing our two indoor only cats to "free feed". The vet suggests we feed them...

    "Digs" His Water

    Our Ray does this after he takes his drink, as though he's covering up the water to save for later!

    growing pains?

    Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. I will keep an eye on him and take him in for another check up if this behavior persists much longer.

    growing pains?

    I am a new member, and this is my first post. I was not sure whether to post this in behavior or health forum. I have two indoor only cats, the younger of which is a 9.5 month old male (orange & white) named Ray. He was neutered at 4 months. He has been meowing/crying a lot more the last few...
