    Stop the Stink!

    As I'm sure a few of you know I have two cats; one orange tabby and one mix coloured tabby. Both are rescues and I love them dearly. Atari is almost 5 years old now ad Fawkes is just a little over 2. My most recent issue with them has been the smell coming form the litter boxes. We have...

    Sensitive Flaky Claws?

    Hey all, I have a habit of checking my kitties top to bottom about once a week. Today while I was checking one of my cats, Atari's, paws I noticed that her claws are not smooth like they should be, they seem rough and flaky. I tried to gently touch the lose flaky claw sheath and she got very...

    Odd Behaviours

    I came downstairs late last night for a drink of water before bed and found one of my cats, Fawkes, circling nothing at all in the living room with her back arched like she was ready to attack something. As soon as she saw me staring at her she bolted up the stairs and pretended that nothing...

    Hand Taming an Aggressive Mouse?

    Hi there, I'm wondering if you guys and gals happen to have any tips or tricks to hand taming a fearful aggressive mouse. I have four others who are all lovely pets and love to be held and pet but one of the newest ones, Rocket, is terrified of me. I can't seem to find anything to get her to...

    My Cat Defended Me!

    First, some background information on my cat Atari for you guys. She was adopted by myself when she was six months old and for the first few months of her life I was unemployed and so was home all day to play with her.

    Looking for Wet Cat Food Brands

    Hello all, I've been feeding my cats the Authority brand wet food (Beef, Chicken, Turkey and on occasion some of the fish) and it has been doing them pretty well but I've come across a problem. I can feed them 6oz of food a day and they're 'still' hungry. Not just sort of hungry, but ravenous...

    Itchy Ears

    Hey there everybody, Atari has recently started scratching her ears a lot more than normal and I'm almost 100% sure it's because the house is really dry right now so her ears are probably as dry as mine. I've checked her for mites out of paranoia(She's an indoor-only cat after all) but she has...

    Introduction Gone Wrong

    As some of you may know I recently adopted an orange tabby we've named Fawkes from the SPCA, while also owning a grey and brown tabby named Atari. When we brought Fawkes home we separated them for three days before letting Fawkes out of the rather small bathroom. Originally Atari was the one...

    Neko Flies

    I have recently adopted a new cat and I’m trying to find a toy that’s strong enough to withstand my older cat to distract her and have her play while the new cat is around. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Neko Flies but I’m wondering if anyone has any experience with them? My older cat...

    Need help with skinny stray cat

    I don't know if this is the appropriate place to post this so if it is not please let me know and I will post about this in the proper place.

    What breed is Atari?

    I've been asked this question countless times and I still have to give the same answer. I don’t know what breed she is. Anyone on here that knows or even have a hunch and would care to share? I know her mother was a calico but no one knows what her father was. These are the three best...

    New Cat - Old Cat Problems

    Recently I found a stray cat in my backyard, emaciated and covered in mud. He was eating bird seed off of the ground that had fallen from the feeders. I felt bad for him so I brought him inside in a crate and confined him to the bathroom thinking my fiancé would be rather ruffled by the new cat...
