    Breakaway collar troubles

    I put my collars back on my cats after a series of events, and everything is fixed except one. They're all breakaway collars and one cat is very good at triggering the breakaway. I've gone through several collars with her but they all have the standard clip (example) and none have made it even a...

    Posting An Article

    Hi, I read the tutorial on writing an article but it doesn't explain what to do if you don't have the option to add a new article. Is this one of the items that require a certain level of activity to participate in, or is it something else? I'd like to share my accumulated knowledge on one of...

    Can Cats Smell Canned Cat Food Thru the Cans, or Is Kitty "Reading" the Label?

    Can cat smell canned cat food through the can? I'm curious and amused. I tried googling my question and I couldn't find an answer. If not, then background: My parents have one of my cats right now (long story, but not necessary for the question). Blue is raw fed but my dad has tried feeding him...

    Homemade raw meat -- adding calcium or bone?

    Someone gave me some game meat to try a homemade raw meal for my cats. I'm not sure how to add calcium or bone, though. The few articles I find that include steps on how to add bone explain that you have to buy an expensive, industrialized meat grinder or thereabouts to grind bone into bone...

    75% Brown Classic Tabby & White, 25% Brown Marble Bengal?

    Mojo has a Bengal's face, and a mixmatch coloring. His torso lines are brown on slightly browner, minus the dark black line down his back. I have no idea what it is, but I'm thinking it's brown classic tabby markings on brown marble coloring without the black. Both have black pattern outlines or...

    A Simese Snow Tiger / Tabby Mix?

    Blue appears to be part Simese Snow Tiger, aka a Seal Lynx Point Applehead Simese with 2 extra strips around his neck. I have no idea what else he is. Since the tabby seems rather diluated, I'm thinking he's not half/half. He has a lot of similarities with a Silver Egyptian Mau, some pretty dead...

    Black fur randomly becoming white

    I've been reading about black cats turning brown/grey/white and it seems pretty common, except there appears to be one difference between my cat and the describtions of the other cats: her white fur isn't always "coming in" in localized areas. I've read about how the frequent sun exposure to...

    Growing Male/Male Dominance Agression

    I got a new neutered male cat a few months ago and about a month ago he mounted my neutered male cat. He was also pushing the cat around and even slammed him into the vacuum. Well, now that the shock has worn off, the male cat who was here first, Mojo, has retaliated and won't stop retaliating...

    Need alternative medication/homopathic remedies for bladder inflammation

    Hi, I have a cat whom was just diagnosed with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD) and the vet prescribed him amitriptyline, a medication that can be used for bladder inflammation, for potentially long-term use. He's been on this medication for 3 weeks while he had a UTI and it did not go...

    Stray or abandoned cat who's struggling to relax

    My Question: I don't know how to make the stray I'm caring for happy by meeting his needs to roam while being safe (which is making it very difficult for the humans to sleep), I don't know if I can get a hold of his registered owner - who's listed number lead me to a very suspicious phone call...

    Everyone is special in my household ;)

    Cat with food agression/panic

    Hi, I'm new but I have a perplexing issue with my cat and I thought I'd ask a group of cat lovers for some feedback. I did ask my vet's office, but my cat's primary vet is unavailable until next week so one of the other doctor's will review it and get back to me sometime this week, unless they...
