My Brenna girl loves to wash people. Every time I pet her, she pets me back - lick lick lick. She's telling me she loves me by grooming. If I were another cat, it would be very nice of her to do that. As it is, sometimes I don't want her to lick me with her prickly tongue. So I taught her to...

The harness I use with Warbear is the Kitty Holster, made by Crazy K Farm. It looks like this: It goes around the neck and under the belly. It has very strong velcro as the attachment. The reason I like it so much is that it is very secure and comfortable for the cat. It's so secure that the...

Warbear is  a beautiful girl! Yes, she's growing up to be gorgeous, long and lean. And the fierce gaze of a predator!   She's developing a new behavior we think is promising. She'll prowl as far away from her door as she can get, then crouch down and watch Brenna for a couple of minutes...

re: feeling guilty... It's not your fault. You didn't choose this; your husband is the one creating an unhealthy environment for you and Posie. You're doing a great job figuring out what you can do about it, though! You're doing great.
