    Building a cat tree/condo and need some insight.

    Keep in mind this is for an adult cat. So I want to build something nice and solid but I'm unsure of dimensions to use. For example... is 14 inches x 14 inches x 14 inches to small of an enclosure for sleeping? And if I put a 9 inches diameter hole and its 11 inches off the ground, is that...

    Space needed for adult cat to make a 90 turn?

    Thanks for the reply and I was thinking the same thing but was just unsure. Though the tunnel you linked to isn't 90 degrees... 90 degrees would be a hard left or right. Anyway not sure why I didn't think of it before but I found some cardboard and made a makeshift tunnel using 8in x 8in and the...

    How long do cats grieve?

    Anyone have experience with this? Just wondering as I had to let my 14 yr old Misty go due to her having a mass on her lung about 3 weeks ago and her sister of 13 yrs is for sure showing signs of grieving. A lot of things that aren't typical behavior... meowing in the hallway likes she's calling...

    Thanks for the replies... much appreciated. I give mostly dry food with just a small portion of wet canned food 5 nights a week. I will take a typical sized can of Friskies, use a knife to evenly cut it into 8 triangle portions and give a portion to each of my cats Sunday - Thursday. Have to...

    Possible Allergy?

    2 female cats roughly 12 and 13 yrs old. So being low income I've always had to get cheap food and my cats have never had issues with it. I was typically giving them Purina Cat Chow for years and then opted to try a slightly better food that didn't have all the coloring and went with the Purina...

    Affordable Fish Free Wet Food?

    Are there any wet foods without fish, but are in the "cheap" price range? I'm low income and can't really swing the more pricey name brands. But need to try getting my cats off anything with fish as one of them may have an allergy to the salmon Purina One I have been giving them. Not to...

    I try and give my pant legs a good wack before coming in, but who's to say if there are any on me still. I thought about trying to take shoes and socks off coming in... but they would more than likely jump off in the process. Really trying to get help so I can get this stuff called Onslaught...

ARG! And I spoke with this woman driver...

    Losing My Mind With Flea Issue...

    So for a few days I noticed one of my two cats sleeping in areas I don't typically see her sleeping, but I figured she was wanting to move around a little. But then I noticed the scratching and licking and thought... please don't be fleas, and I got on my hands and knees... moving my hands...

In the Ozarks here and the humidity has barely ever dropped below 45% during the winter when I had my oil radiator heater running full tilt and now that its been warming up the past few weeks and can't open a window (1 window in...

    Cats haven't come in contact with any other animals for over 4 yrs. Have to wait until Fri to get down to the vet... but in the meantime I have ordered a 10 lb box of Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth and a duster bottle. Will keep the kitties in the front room and will cloud the entire back room...

    After sending out some emails, a local vet came to the rescue and wants me to drop off a QTip ear swab of one of my cats in a zip-loc baggie. They told me that this place must have already been infested with the mites, but was told by owner that it hasnt been lived in for a few months and i read...
