    Need To Change From Pretty Litter-help

    hi! I have two cats, three boxes. They really seem to like using the pretty litter (it’s been a few months) but I need to change for the following reasons: 1. IT TRACKS EVERYWHERE. Mats, putting it in a tub, whatever I do...crystals everywhere. Crystals in my bed!!!! Yikes. 2. It’s really...

    Send Cats Away To “reset”?

    Hi everyone! Here's some helpful context. 1. They only left the house because I was traveling...I don't just take them out for fun. It wasn't a "just stop by one or two days" situation, so I took them to my in laws, as it's unreasonable for me to have them drive across the city while I'm...

    Send Cats Away To “reset”?

    hi! I have two cats...LW is the boy, aged around 6, and a girl cat (LH) who is 7. Both have been fixed at an early age. I had LW for almost a year before getting LH. LH was a street cat, but very affectionate towards me. LW was rescued as a tiny baby. LW is a pretty confident cat...very...

    Lady Harriet, "Too Cute", missing kittens?

    Hi all…my boyfriend and I have had this debate and I wanted some input.   Lady Harriet (LH) was a rescue from the streets (by an adoption agency).  She had a litter when they found her, and would take other kittens under her care as well.  Eventually the kittens got adopted out and I adopted...

    Cat toothpaste

    So, my Lady Harriet had her teeth cleaned recently, even though she only about 1.7 years old. She was on the streets before coming to me (with a litter) so I am not surprised she had gignivitus and such. Anyway, the vet has asked me to start brushing her teeth, I know she doesn't care for I...

    Two beautiful boys ( newly socialized kittens ) in NWO area desperately need homes!

    I suggest you look on craigslist to see if anyone is actively searching for a cat.  I promise you they are not all horrible people....plenty of people, especially students, just don't know how to start looking and they go to craigslist.

    Two beautiful boys ( newly socialized kittens ) in NWO area desperately need homes!

    I think it was just pretty clear from the way I spoke and wrote.  This woman has done this for a while, and I think she probably is good at reading people.   I posted on craigslist that I was looking for a kitten, that I was a grad student, that I would spoil it, and that I'd had cats...

    Yes the kitty was vetted!   I think having a gift card to a pet supply store is a great idea, though.

    Oh, and no, there wasn't an adoption fee.

    Two beautiful boys ( newly socialized kittens ) in NWO area desperately need homes!

    I got my first cat from craigslist....so not all people on there are sketchy!   However, I put up an ad saying that I WANTED a kitten and someone contacted me to discuss it.  I also talked about how I am a grad student and generally made it clear that I wasn't a nutjob.

    Always hungry?

    So, again, she isn't only eating the wet food...she also eats high quality dry food freely.   Today I tried the wellness beef/chicken and she gobbled it up happily and didn't get sick!  So let's see how she likes it tomorrow....

    Always hungry?

    So, some of you know that Lady Harriet had a serious health problem a little while ago---she wouldn't eat or drink--and it was from an infection.  Now that things are back to normal, a few issues are coming up. 1. She pukes up many wet foods, or doesn't like them.  I've found that her absolute...

    Newman's Own

    Hi all, So since she was sick, LH is a realllllly picky eater.  One of the only things she will actually gobble down is newman's own chicken/salmon flavor.  LW also enjoys it, so that's a plus.   Is there a cheaper alternative out there?  Has anyone had a cat who really likes newman's own...
