So the time for my big move is quickly approaching- less than a week away! I think I have finalized my plan for my two precious felines but I would love any advice from those who have successfully moved with cats before.  Logistically, we are moving from a one bedroom (750sq/ft) to another one...

So I'm back with yet another Diego tribulation-  I swear every time I think I've got it figured out with him he develops some new bizarre behavior that I can't grasp. Lately, It's been his constant crying. And I literally mean constant. I timed him last night- three full hours without letting...

So there are tons of funny cat articles out there but this  is by far one of the best I have ever read! Seriously, every single point they make is 100% true, though #'s 1, 22, and 23 particularly resonated with me and the antics of my two crazy felines.  I highly encourage you to take a minute...

Fabulous users of TCS,  This is a companion thread to one that I have started in the Raw section of the Nutrition forum. If so inclined you read it in full here:  What Is The Quickest And Most Convenient Way To Feed Raw​  To avoid repetition, I'm just going to give the reader's digest version...

Wonderful feeders of raw,  I have a semi-urgent problem that has come up regarding my parents' cat, Livvy that I desperately need your amazing advisement on. (Typical me it's a novel-sorry! I put my questions in bold below in case you are feeling a little more 'get to the point.' ) _____...

UUUGGGGHHHH I preface that this is merely a venting post! So I have posted before about my little guy Diego and some of his recent troubles. A few months ago I noticed that he was walking funny, missing his jumps, and becoming increasingly skittish towards things he shouldn't be afraid of (like...

Background So I am starting to get really worried about my almost one year old cat, Diego as he has been acting very strange. I'm sure part of it is that I have put both him and his sister through the ringer these past few months. Back in May I had to move out of my apartment suddenly and left...

So, I have been a big fan of the TV show Dexter for a while now and just had a marathon book-fest where I read all six of the Dexter books by Jeff Lindsey in less than a week (yes, speed reading is my hidden talent). Anyone out there love the show? Love the books? Like one and not the other? ...

http://www.etsy.com/shop/CatFountains I just came across these and I'm freaking obsessed. Does anyone have one?  I know I should be a good girl and save up for one but I may just have to bite the bullet and scrounge for change in the couch cushions later. I love them! 

All,  Hopefully the majority of you have familiarized yourself with this absolutely critical list: http://www.thecatsite.com/t/174854/101-things-that-can-harm-your-cat (If you haven't please do so immediately). I know I have read it over and over again and keep all these things away from my...

Fellow TCS Users, I’ve had a few PM’s lately asking where I have been, as I haven’t been on the boards at all. I’m not narcissistic enough to think people would actually notice my absence on a site this big but since some have I figured I would just start a new thread so everyone is up to...

So, as many know, my Mom has been battling her little butt off for the past year and a half fighting stage 4 lung cancer. It seems every time the doctors give us bad news it just motivates her to fight harder! She just finished full brain radiation for the second time and is showing no signs of...

So I rarely start threads in the Cat Lounge but tonight I have to. I just watched the newest theatrical release of Les Mis (with Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway) and I am just amazed. I don't even think I can fully gather my thoughts about it. It was so gut wrenchingly moving I can't decide if I...

So I am trying to catch up on my e-mails and found this very interesting article sent out by Catster a few days ago. I really liked it's premise and thought I would share. Lately I feel like there has been a little too much anti-breeder attitude over here in the breeder's corner and I think it's...

So I don't post over here very often (and I think the only time I started a thread was for sad stuff) so I figured I'd even out my karma and post something happy!  I have been off the forums for awhile because I have been studying for, and taking, my final law school exams. Well one hour ago I...

All,  Today I took my new kitten for his 3rd and final round of the FVRCP vaccine so he's good for a year. When I was checking out I asked when my grown up girl was due (should be beginning on January) and they said this year she was only due for a wellness exam but no vaccines. I thought the...

So I have dealt with suckling issues in kittens before but this is a little different..... My kitten Diego is 14 weeks old and was born here in foster with me. He was weaned from his Mom at 9 weeks which I believe was too soon (it's a long story but the shelter pulled her for no apparent reason...

Everyone-  So I am currently "foster sitting" another foster's kittens. They are 11 weeks old.  The past few days I have noticed one of them seems to be "foaming at the mouth," although the consistency is not foamy. Sorry because this is a gross description, but it's very mucousy (almost like...

So 11 week old Diego and I are in our second week of clicker training. So far he's doing really well- very food motivated and eager to please. Here is my process: I have a clicker stick. I simply call for him and when I have his attention I hold the end of the stick (which has a ball on the end...

So I have reached new territory: I am "fostering" some fosters!  Their foster Momma has to go out of town for a few weeks. Based on age and original shelter standards they were supposed to be spayed last week, but, they increased the weight limits again so now they are playing the waiting game...
