To help with our cat's chlamydia, in addition to antibiotics, we were given a tube of tetracycline eye ointment.  Not only is this incredibly difficult to administer, but Loa (our cat) gets terrified and hides from us afterward.  It is so stressful for not only the cat but us as well.  Any advice!?!

I've been feeding my girls Merricks for a little while.  Unfortunately, the girls like a limited selection of flavours (Turducken, Thanksgiving day dinner, and Grammy's Pot Pie).  Really, they only eat Thanksgiving Day Dinner and Grammy's Pot Pie with mild/feigned interest.  Turducken is their...

I have two DSHs and have not found a satisfying method for grooming them.  We first tried this glove that has small rubber "bristles".  It didn't seem like it did too much.  I then got a FURminator and it seems almost counter productive.  It does remove a lot of hair (maybe too much?) but it...

This is not a problem behavior, in fact we find it adorable, but I am just curious about what it all means. Trivia, while mousing, will run around the house with one of her toy mouses in her mouth and meow loudly. And not just an ordinary meow, but a long warble like meow. What is she...

Today, Trivia has a couple of watery eyes.  She had Chlamydia (was swabbed and tested) and received a round of doxycycline.  After a few days her symptoms cleared up.  After a week we got Loa, who shared quarters with Trivia at the shelter and who we knew had a URI.  We kept he isolated for a...

I am probably being paranoid but I worry. Is this just playing? These two go at it like this a lot.

An ebay seller in Scarborough, ON is selling a few really cool cat trees.  I just ordered one for my girls!  (Will upload photos of them enjoying it once it arrives.)  Just thought I'd pass it along in case anyone else is interested. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300840493729

So I got Trivia the Star Chaser toy.  It is a round disk with a centre scratch pad and a illuminated ball in a circular track.  I also got an accessory that consists of a plastic rod in the centre that has a feather dangling from it.  Trivia ripped the centre post out and removed the cap to free...

I just have to share the story of Squawky (that's her shelter name)! These two older ladies are driving home one night in inclement weather and spot a distressed kitten on the side of the road.  The two old ladies pulled into the shelter's parking lot at break neck speed and carried the wet...

A wind storm rolled in last night and kept poor Trivia up all night.  This morning she has been keeping vigil on her cat condo.  The blowing leaves get her so excited that she even started chattering her teeth at one point! 

The local Humane Society went on a local television new show to promote cat adoption, as well as the importance to spay and neuter cats.  Right at the start of the interview, Liz, the shelter's official cat mascot, gives the reporter a piece of her mind!  (The link is to the news channel's...

(This is not really meant to be a thread about raw food vs cooked food or dry food vs wet food, it is about the passion the drives nutrition debates.) So after a visit to the shelter, and doing a meet and greet with a few kitties, I've decided to adopt a new kitty to join my resident kitty.  I...

I read through some of the articles on this site but I still have questions.  One would think something like this would have been outlined and stickied, since it seems like something a lot of newbies like me would be asking. Trivia is a DSH, almost 8 months, and very energetic.  A week ago she...

My wife and I adopted a 6 month DSH kitten who, unknown to us, had FIP (dry).  A couple weeks later we adopted him a playmate, a 7 month DSH.  A couple weeks after his FIP progressed considerably and we put him to rest because he was losing the ability to even look after himself while home...

I got a new cat and the shelter fed her Frisky's pate.  I got a can to mix with the food I feed our resident cat to help her transition.  I can honestly say I have never smelt something fouler.  After some research, and examining what's available locally, I chose Best Feline Friend brand canned...

Hello!  My wife and I are first time cat owners.  We adopted a six month micro-panther (OK, he's really just a black DSH) from the local Home for Wayward Cats.  He is very well behaved, loving, and we love him but we have some concerns. Absinthe and his litter mates were abandoned when the...
