I haven't posted here in a while. I've just been lurking. A lot has happened and I now only have one cat, Soren, my bobcat hybrid. One of my three cats was rehomed by choice and went to an excellent home more suited for her and my other cat was lost while in the care of someone else.
So, now...
I'd like for Soren to become an indoor/outdoor cat, but I'm not sure how to do that. He's been indoor-only since he was 8 weeks old. When I got him at 8 weeks old, it took a lot to keep him from running out the door every time its opened.. He is now 8 months old, and is terrified and runs back...
I'm making a new website for myself, and I was going to make a new name since I no longer focus only on gerbils. I focus more on mice now, and they will remain my main focus when I get show quality mice to breed. I still breed gerbils, but that is very small scale since breeder-raised gerbils...
What whole prey items can cats eat? Or.. if this is easier to answer.... What prey items can cats NOT eat?
More specifically, can cats/will cats eat gerbils? Also, how nutritious are gerbils compared to mice? And what about rats?
Also, how do you go about feeding rabbits? Are they cut up...
Are any of these plants toxic to cats?
My cats have a habit of sometimes chewing on plant leaves, so I want to make sure these plants are safe to have... I would prefer the plants higher on the list.
I recently stopped feeding my cats dry food altogether. My two girls are now eating only wet food.
Soren eats wet food with whole mice.
I start off the day by giving them all half of a 13.5 oz can to share. When they finish, a bit later I give them the rest of that can. Then at night I give...
This is Reeces. My chocolate and tan buck with a band. He is the tamest little mouse. I didn't have to work at all to tame him. He was just naturally tame. He is the half-brother/uncle to Ritz, Rolo and Triona (2nd). I'm not sure if he is the full brother or half-brother of Aeira and Nemo. (two...
I wasn't sure exactly where to post this, so I'm sorry if it doesn't belong here.
I posted about this on another cat forum, but I just got back very rude replies, so I wasn't too keen to start off by posting it here when I joined.. But I'll give it a shot.
I'll start at the very beginning so...
The people on craigslist irritate me. I occasionally look on there to see if anything catches my eye (its how I got a deal on one of my two cat trees after all), and just now I looked only to find a whole bunch of people harassing someone about wanting a pregnant cat.

I'm just curious. For those of you who have given up one of your pets to a new home, what was your reason for rehoming?
I've been debating for a while about rehoming one of my cats, but I feel like our(mine and my husband's) reasons aren't good enough. I fear what kind of home she could be...
I'm aware that it is bad. I'm aware that dry food digests at a different rate than whole mice.
However, Soren rushes at the chance to eat dry food. Whenever we put down food for our malamute (dry dog food), Soren rushes over and starts eating with the dog. We usually have to pick him up and...
Soren is very good about only using his scratching posts to scrarch on, but he won't stop digging in and pottying in the plant pots and he also has developed a cord chewing habit as of late. How can I get him to stop these things?
Also, I'm not sure when I should start trusting him out in the...
Here are some pictures of the Bubble Guppy cake that my mother and I made for my niece. I did the majority of the decorating, but my mother baked the cake and made the icing.
We bake and decorate cakes together quite often. This is our latest cake. Our next cake will be a fire fighter wedding...
I'm so proud of my mice... even if they are descendants of pet store mice. Currently, since I don't have the money to travel to get mice from a breeder, I'm just breeding some pet store mice in hopes of improving their health. Health is my main goal, but I also am aiming for longer living mice...
This is about my brother's new cat, not mine.
He got this cat on Saturday and he can't get her to eat or drink. She hasn't been using the potty either. He is keeping her in the spare room, but if he lets her out she hides and won't come back out.
I told him to try feeding her some canned food...
Its been a while since my last kitten. Actually.. its been a while since the last time I got a cat fixed (my two adult indoor cats were already spayed when I adopted them).
My little guy, Soren is now 13 weeks old. He weighs 5 to 6 pounds. I'm wondering, when is a good time to neuter him? Is it...
I am in need of some advice about getting my adult cats eating whole mice. Currently they eat mostly canned food with a bit of dry food. They are canned food addicts. They have watched my bobcat kitten eat mice. They seemed rather amazed by that but they won't touch it themselves.
Any advice...
