    So I'll be able to sleep through the night when, exactly?

    I do have Da Bird. I should get some refill feathers and start using it more.

    So I'll be able to sleep through the night when, exactly?

    Hello cat friends. I'm hoping some experienced cat owners can give me some advice on a long-standing issue I have with my two lovable cats, Archer and Gatsby. Archer turns 2 in February; Gatsby just turned 2 at the end of December. I adopted them in May and June 2013 respectively. They are...

    Constant meowing - new and annoying!

    Thanks! I've heard they should be around 8 lbs as domestic shorthairs, so that's what I'm aiming for - they're actually closer to 9.5-10. :/

    Constant meowing - new and annoying!

    Thanks everyone for the help! I know I shouldn't give in to the meowing (especially since I'm not even sure it's hunger) but I've been worried he may disturb my neighbours. Having said that, no one has complained yet so I will try to ignore as much as possible and will reinforce his quiet...

    Constant meowing - new and annoying!

    I suppose it's not totally out of the question but he doesn't look like he has any siamese at all. He is your typical standard tabby (not that I don't think he's adorable, I do!).

    Constant meowing - new and annoying!

    My two kittens are now nearly in adulthood. One is just shy of being a year old (Gatsby); the younger one is just under 10 months (Archer). Gatsby went through a particularly obnoxious teenager phase where he would meow all night to get attention. He would climb under the covers and bite my...

    Need advice as to amount of wet food/dry food

    They do look alike! Archer is 5 months. Gatsby (the black one) is almost 7 months.

    Is it okay to give my kittens time apart?

    Hi everyone: I have a 5 month old kitten (Archer) and a 7 month old kitten (Gatsby), both adopted in the past couple of months. They aren't siblings but get along very well and have been decently bonded to each other since I adopted Gatsby in mid-June. With it being the summer, I often go to...

    Need advice as to amount of wet food/dry food

    So should I be feeding them even maybe double the wet - a can each a day - and feed them three times (morning dinner and bed)?

    How much did you pay to adopt your cat?

    Both my kittens are from our city's Humane Society. Their prices are: $175 for a kitten $165 for a kitten + mom together $40 to $60 or so for an adult, seems to depend on age. Old cats are very cheap. $99 for two adult cats Plus the occasional "black cat days" or "free cat days" when the...

    Need advice as to amount of wet food/dry food

    Yes he's got massive feet, mostly because he's polydactyl and has an extra toe in each foot. :) my adorable little mutant. Unfortunately I can't feed them at lunch time as I'm at work all day. I could do breakfast, dinner, and then bedtime. It's just so confusing because there's mixed...

    Need advice as to amount of wet food/dry food

    as an addendum to the above: I'm looking at Archer laying on my coffee table and he actually does look a bit pudgy. but again i don't know if that's normal for kittens. here's some recent pictures (Archer is the tabby; Gatsby is black).

    Need advice as to amount of wet food/dry food

    Hi everyone: I have a 6 month old and 4 month old kitten (Gatsby and Archer), both recently adopted.. I'm wondering if I'm feeding them right. I'll start by saying they have no known health issues, both seem to pee and poop just fine (although poop seems soft usually), both are active and...

    Disappointed with my cat, but moreso with myself.

    Thanks :) Yeah, I should have realized Archer was a bit of an anomaly. I thought since Gatsby had had a few "out and about" adventures and enjoyed them that he would have liked this, but I think it's too stressful. I'd like to bring Archer to the lake but rather than separate them, they'll stay...

    Disappointed with my cat, but moreso with myself.

    I will leave them next time. The reason for getting the second cat was so that I could leave them when I go away overnight, so that Archer wouldn't be lonely. I think he did think he was trying to be protective, although the random spit and scratch directed at me was what really upset me. I...

    New to this site and new to cats! Please read!

    I'm a new cat owner too! It's really scary, but lots of people on here are awesome, experienced cat owners and give great advice. ;) So we'll all get through it together. Now that she's already had free rein of the place I would let her explore but just make sure to kitty-proof as much as...

    Disappointed with my cat, but moreso with myself.

    A couple of months ago I adopted a kitten who has been the most adaptable little guy I have ever met. He enjoys getting out of the apartment, so I took him to our cottage at the lake, where my parents stay with their shih tzu cross, Toby. After a couple of hours of grumbling, growling, hissing...
