    Advantage Ii Flea Drops???

    Help with Weight Loss in Older Cat?

    Hi all. This is in reference to my oldest furbaby, Ginger. She is 10 years old and quite overweight. It is remarkable since my 7 year old and 1 year old are slim and trim and always have been. Consider that Ginger has always been a bit sickly. She had pneumonia when I adopted her. It almost...

    Nature's Miracle vs. Petastic?

    I was just at Amazon.com, about to place my order for Nature's Miracle based on the advice I received on my last post. I paused to read a handful of reviews and it seems that a different product by the name of Petastic may be my best bet but I wanted to double check here first because now I'm...

    Protect my Plant!!!

    Hi all, A little backstory to start: As a plant owner (sort of), I am of the "black thumb" variety. Plants virtually wither away in despair the minute they enter my abode.

    Older cat's behavior after introducing a new kitten in the house?

    So I'm going through something that is all new to me: I brought a new kitten into the house about a month ago and introduced her to my 9 year old and my 6 year old cats.

    Cat is so jumpy!! Scaredy cat!!

Using tonight as an example, he was curled up next to me peacefully on the sofa. I was sitting, watching a movie. I shifted EVER SO SLIGHTLY and it startled him so severely that he...
