    Should I adopt this adorable Maine Coon? Input appreciated! :)

    Hi all, So I look at shelter sites frequently for fun but I've never been as tempted as this. She looks like a straight-up Maine Coon, or at least half, right? What do you think? I am very tempted to get her, BUT: A) I know nothing about Maine Coons and I'm afraid she might eat too much for...

    help with kitty tracking poo all over the house!

    So my kitty (5 months) has never been great with the litterbox--she never learned to cover anything up... which is why I think, combined with soft stools = tracking poo all over the house! I had her on Chicken Soup for the Kitten Lovers Soul wet originally, and she was fine. But I've been...

    how to help kitten with teething?

    Hi, I have a 5 month kitty who is teething. Her canines are coming in, and I see some loose molars(?)... whatever the large one in the top back is. There is blood. She is licking her lips a lot, and also pushing against her teeth with her paws! :( I guess she's okay, but what can I do to ease...

    creative, DIY ideas for food dispensing?

    Hi all, I have somebody coming everyday to check on the kitties, but the problem is for one stretch, no one will be around for more than a day, and I'm afraid they will be hungry.  Also, the kitties tend to gulf down their food and never leave an empty plate, so it's unlikely they will have...

    storing dry food in fridge?

    Hi all, due to the warm weather I stored some dry food in the fridge in a freezer ziploc bag. It's been in there for a month. Is it safe to use? I'm afraid of moisture perhaps? I froze the rest, because I wasn't sure which method was best! thanks :)

    suckling problems! :\

    I used to think it was cute, until now. I currently have a foster kitty, 4 months, who has a BAD suckling problem. She won't suckle anything but my other kittens, and she does it nonstop. It has gotten to the point where I have to separate her all the time, because the other cats are...

    separation anxiety (not cats lol)

    Hi, I was reading about separation anxiety on these forums, when I thought about my OWN separation anxiety, and I thought I would ask you guys if you experience the same thing. I have only felt this way since living alone. I am in my early 30s now, and have felt like this for many years...

    nutro?

    Seems like a lot of people like this brand, but the second ingredient in nutro max is corn gluten meal. And the first is chicken meal. Isn't that a lot like kitty chow? So why all the praise? Been wondering about this for a while, if anyone has any info that would be great!

    pet insurance for kitten - a smart idea?

    Hello all, I know there are other threads about this but they are all quite old. I am wondering, in y'alls opinions, is pet insurance a smart thing to have? Is it worth it to insure a kitten? Or should I wait a few years until the problems actually start? The kittens are so healthy now, and...

    how to convince your friends to feed their cats better?

    Hi. I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, or if anyone can suggest a solution. Y'ALL are very savvy about your cat's nutrition, and know all about grain free and high quality, etc. :) But most vets don't talk to their clients about it, they just give Science Diet kibble.  So... the...

    cat's eye twitch

    my friend's 6 month kitten's eye twitches a lot, we always thought it was cute, but now I'm starting to think it may be a problem? My friend is a smoker, perhaps this has to do with it? I can't think of anything else besides allergies/smoke irritation. has anyone ever had this experience? thanks!

    question about vets and making money

    Hi there! I am a new cat owner, well fosterer :) and the two vets I've visited recently seemed to want to scam me for extraneous shots. They had decent reviews, and were nice enough, but they all seemed to push for extra stuff. (I know human doctors do this, so....) Has anyone else had this...
