    Cat is asking mommy want UP!

    My little longhaired black boy Puccini does that same thing. It's really cute.

    neutering kittens that self nurse ( smurgle)

    I ended up using bitter apple in the dab on bottle ( not the spray) after confirming with the vet that it was fine to use nearby but not on the incision. It worked great. The neuter actually was left open, no stitches or glue and the spays were glued on the skin with stiches below. They all did...

    Anyone tried wood pellets in the Tidy Cat Breeze box?

    You all are talking about a totally different system than the Breeze since there is no sifting, in fact we want the pee to flow through to the pad below. So my main concerns are absorption of the pee which I don't want the pellets to do and breakdown into sawdust, which I don't want either.

    neutering kittens that self nurse ( smurgle)

    My kittens are big enough to get spayed and neutered now but Mimi self nurses on the inside of her thighs and sometimes allows her siblings to also do it to her. The other two kittens really only do it to her, when they hear her going at it. She will get up and walk away if she doesn't want them...

    New kitten chasing chihuahua and older cat

    Teach your dog to "leave it" anytime he looks like he is giving the cats the stare down or barking or chasing them. If you have to leash him in the house until he learns to leave them alone. He can hurt or kill the kitten, especially because being so small the kitten can't jump up on as many...

    Kitten Weights

    Remember too that the weight will be different if they have just eaten vs before a meal. I know with my kittens it was uneven gain showing because of that. You don't always know when the most recent meal was.

    Dredlocks. :/

    Oh yes, I can see how they form when he gets wet and air dries without being brushed or combed. My girls fur shows more curl when it's wet and I make sure to comb her out and break up the dreads so she doesn't matt after I give her a bath. She even attacks the zoom groom which is very soft when...

    Litter box woes

    I can't remember the exact cost of the culture as it was over a year ago but I'm guessing it was in the 50 dollar range and I think that included the sensitivity testing the bacteria, if they find any to see which antibiotic will kill it. You can probably just call your vets office and ask the...

    What should I do?

    Does he have a scratching post? If not I'd get him one. When he goes to scratch the furniture just nicely move him over to where the scratching post is. As far as energy, it's just the way kittens are. Get him some cat toys. Mine love those fishing poles for cats and the toy where you can bat...

    Litter box woes

    Did they actually culture the urine for bacteria to see if he actually has an infection? It's a separate test than the basic urinalysis and it generally takes a couple days to get results back since they have to try and grow the bacteria. Does he still have crystals showing up in his urinalysis...

    ID tags that are not huge?

    It's easy you just slide the collar into the little gap on both sides of the tag.

    ID tags that are not huge?

    I love the Boomerang collar tags too, although my cats get out of those breakaway collars in about a minute.

    Dredlocks. :/

    My girl also has curly hair on her britches and belly. I occasionally had to cut small matts off of her but not very often. I found that once she was ours ( she was originally the neighbors cat and they made her live outside) and I made her indoor only she doesn't get matts anymore. And I'm only...

    Cat pooping outside the box

    She has been pooping outside the box for from almost the beginning of living here ( so almost a year), I've only had the kittens for 2 months.  She has totally normal firm poop, goes once a day, doesn't have worms and no off smell. She does not appear to strain and is healthy otherwise. I...

    Do we need to limit food?

    She may not be meowing for food. Kittens meow for a variety of reasons one of which is to find mom or to get some love and attention.

    Cat pooping outside the box

    This is my 6 year old ragdoll cat. I've officially had her for a year. Some of you may remember the thread where I discussed that she had been kicked outside by my neighbors for litter box issues and they let us have her a year ago when they moved. She had been living outside for a few years and...

    What do you feed your cats on?

    The big cats have their own stainless bowls and I've been using corelle salad plates for the kittens. I'm liking them so much I'm going to switch the big cats over to them. It's so nice to just be able to put them in the dishwasher.
