I am researching the personailites of cats and whether coat color/pattern plays a role. In particular, gray tabbies and tigers. I work for a resuce organization and every gray tiger I have known and worked with has been super affectionate, male or female. Was curious to hear other stories...

Hi, Has anyone ever had a problem with a kitty that urinates really high in the litter box? I have one male, in particular, that does this. Clean up can be messy. I change the litter morning and night, and sometimes have to clean the inside hood of the litter box and the floor where the urine...

Hi, Since last year, we have been monitoring our 9 year old neutered blue point Birman's blood chemistry levels. On 2/7/03, his (Rumples) SGPT/ALT was 692 and his SGOT/AST was 240. On 4/2/03, after a course of Prednisone and Denyisl (sp?), they were 619 and 248 respectively. These levels have...

My kitties currently use a non-clumping clay litter. My concern is the dust. I recently purchased a product called "Litter Pearls". Two of my cats have used it, the other two are a little unsure. I've mixed some in with the regular clay litter for them to get use to. Has anyone had any...

Hi, I feed 3 of my kitties "Lick Your Chops" lamb and rice and turkey and rice cat food. Last week I picked up a case of the turkey and rice. My female won't eat it and one of my Birman boys won't eat it. (The other kitty is on a homemade diet, and the other Birman, well, he eats just about...

Hi, I'm a new member and have a quick question. On the subject of nail clipping, I live with 4 kitties that have their nails regularly trimmed. I started them when they were very young so they don't mind it. However, I was cutting one kitty's nails today and I inadvertantly cut to close to the...
