Im usually pretty good about getting to the food and water bowl quickly after they empty, but sometimes my timing just isnt up to their standards, apparently So, on those times that I just havent quite gotten to them yet or wasnt aware they needed attention, my kitties let me know! Jayce has...

My foster cat, Max, is 5 months old. We had buffalo wings for dinner and he got one of the bones out of the trash This has never happened before, Im not sure what to expect. What do I do? Should I take him in to the vet right away? What can they do? What should I watch for in him? Hes...

I have these baby kittens that were quite obviously weaned way too early. Im not sure what the story is behind it, but either they were abandoned or their mama died. So now they try and suckle off each other. They root and dig in to eachothers tummies and find hair or something, because they...

Oh my goodness!!! Yes, I have 7 baby kittens on my hands for the next few weeks I think those smileys express how Im feeling pretty well! And add in a "passing out from the magnitude of it all" and youve got me I decided I wanted to foster. I figure that is the best way for me to help and...

Everyone has a soft spot for one special kind of cat. Tabby, Orange, Calico, etc. What is your favorite that just makes you melt when you see them? My favorite is kind of obvious I think if you look at my sig I really love the tabby and whites. Theyre not so flashy as some, but they always...

Well Ive decided 3 cats is plenty for me. And thankfully, it worked out well. I was having a hard time with the stray, it really doesnt like my other cats. Maybe given more time it may have adjusted, but I was just feeling stressed about the extra work involved with integrating another cat. I...

My new cat has oily-ish fur. Its a bit dirty too, but is there anything I can do about the oil? Shes a persian mix, short hair. She feels like velvet, but I pull my hand away and its kind of gross. Im thinking about trying to bathe her soon. Any tips?

I was cleaning the litter boxes tonight, which tends to be a big drawn out ordeal at times because I let them soak and then I dry them but allow some air drying too. I must have waited too long for my new girl because she was all in my face while I was trying to clean and even got ready to go...

So far my 3 babies are clawed. The newcomer to our home however, is not. I fear she might be at a disadvantage when I introduce them together, or that she might resort to biting as they get used to each other. Are there any extra precautions I should take? Should I spread out the introductions...

Well I brought her in to 2 vets yesterday. The first was my usual vet who was so booked that they could only scan her for a microchip but not actually do an exam. She is not chipped! I was relieved in a way, since I would love to keep her. So I called around and was finally able to find a place...

Maybe this will need to be moved, but Im hoping for some very quick answers, please. I was in my yard and noticed a cat hiding under the bushes. I thought it was the tuxedo I sometimes see, but it was this GORGEOUS Berman. It is the prettiest cat I have ever seen S/He was very, very scared...

We had our second ever problem outside the box this week. I have been very, very sick and in turn neglected the litter boxes pretty bad. I forgot about them for over 3 days. I feel really bad about it, but Im pretty sure thats why this happened. Its either that or because Jayce accidentally got...

I should have known me getting cats would be a never ending ordeal My whole family either truly dislikes cats or is very allergic to them. So both ways mean they really did not want me to get cats. I didnt really care a whole lot what they think because most of them only come by a couple times...

95% of cat owners admit they talk to their cats. A cat can be either right-pawed or left-pawed. A cat can jump as much as seven times its height. A cat cannot see directly under its nose. This is why the cat cannot seem to find tidbits on the floor. A cat has 230 bones in its body. A...

My cat Morgan has had this little problem for a few months. He will get this black stuff gathered at the corner of his nose every few days. He is otherwise 100% fine, maybe a bit overweight. But hes fine in general. Eating and playing etc. I dont think it warrants a visit to the vet, Im just...

Well thats what they think, anyway! I stopped at the animal shelter tonight and held about a dozen cats. Came home and sat down for some petting, right? Morgan took a couple sniffs of my hand, gave me a "look" and jumped right back down again I think hes jealous!

Just a couple questions to get some talk going about this. Are you aware of any law in your town/city/county that tells you how many pets you can have? Is it broken down by the type of animal or all animals combined? If you know what your number is, are you within those guidelines? If you...

Sorry for the stripes in the pictures, my scanner stinks. Had to show a few funny pictures of Jayce though. Hes such a goof! First, I was unpacking a box of stuff and he decided he would like to make it his spot... Then we have him doing something I didnt quite figure out... This one is...

Snoozing on my bed. Dont they blend in well? And a yawn because I woke the sleepyheads up! Now its bath time! (sorry for the bad quality) Just a cute shot of Jayce And look what the little devils found!
