    Cat Colds?

    This is just the darndest thing... and I'm assuming coincedence. But, thought I'd check with all the knowledgeable TCS folks! I've been battling a cold for the past week. My two boys have been lazing with me in bed, love to give headbutts to my face (especially after a sneezing/coughing fit)...

    Sister Wives

    Anyone else addicted to this show? I started watching it during it's first season, and the second season just begun a few weeks ago. Really interesting glimpse into a lifestyle that not many of us are exposed to, or really even understand. I was very surprised at how "normal" everyone seen...

    Happy! Taking Responsibility

    A friend of mine recently lost her elderly grandmother who had 2 cats. And for once in my life, I'm finally hearing that everyone in the family is fighting over who gets to KEEP the cats! Rather than the usual song and dance about why nobody can take them after a death and they end up in a...

    Top Cat

    Hello All, Was curious on everyone's thoughts/experiences on how a cat's age plays into them being the "top cat" in a household. Do you think if a new cat comes into a home and is older than the existing cat - he will likely become top cat? Or, at least fight harder to become top cat? What...

    Tacky?

    In December I posted about having taken on a rescue cat as a companion to my kitty. We had a pretty bad experience with the rescue. Later, after many follow ups with the rescue they all but admitted lying about this girl's personality - and the founder of the rescue said it was a mistake having...

    Flagyl?

    Hi Everyone, Marc has been having a bout of runny poos. The vet put him on Flagyl. I gave him his first dose this evening, and as expected - it didn't go well. I did a search in the forum on Flagyl, so I know many of you have cats who have been on it. Did it make them foam at the mouth? Marc...

    When all else fails....

    Hello Everyone. Looking for advice on next steps when all other efforts fail. Marc, like most cats wakes up around 4am. Like so many others, I have issues with him waking up the whole house by screaming, attacking my OH and I so we'll play, etc. Pretty typical maddening behavior on his part...

    Calming Collars

    Does anyone have any reccomendations for a calming collar that has a safety breakaway function? The collars have been a lifesaver for me with Marc but I can't put one on him during the time he needs it the most - my bedtime. He jumps around so much I'm scared he could easily get it caught and...

    I thought....

    Cats (and dogs) were supposed to be in tune with when their humans got sick. I'm battling a hideous case of the flu (101 fever, sore throat, the whole 9 yards...)and Marc has been nothing short of a terror! In fact, I think he's been more crazy than usual! I was hoping my sickness would cause...

    Disloyal Rescue? Or, Personality Change? *Long*

    Hi Everyone - Sorry for what is going to be a long post - I'm just a bit frustrated and tend to ramble. Last week I took in a 10 month old spayed girl from a rescue. I had been working with the rescue director for a few weeks trying to find a companion for my 5 month old neutered boy named...

    Crating For Introduction?

    Hello Everyone, I currently have one 5 month old cat. I have adopted a rescue cat, and she gets here in just a few weeks! She is coming to us already spayed, and my cat is due for his operation next week. I have a spacious apartment, with plenty of room for them both to play - however, I only...
