    My Cat Hates My Dogs, Can I Socialize Him?

    Just a quick backstory.  Back in February, my daughter adopted Porter.  Porter is a 10 year old gray tabby who got the bad end of a cat fight before the shelter picked him up. She was told by the shelter staff that he was socialized with dogs. Apparently, he is only socialized with small dogs...

    Favorite Canned Food Brands?

    I'm feeding Porter Wellness Core for now, but the flavors he likes are not sold at my local holistic pet food stores so I want to branch out and try some new things on him.  They carry BFF, Taste of the Wild, Weruva, Fromm, Nature's Variety Prairie, Merrick, Great Life and Wellness Healthy...

    Automatic Litter Boxes?

    I'm using Swheat Scoop for Porter's litter. I love this stuff. I used to use Fresh Step and the lack of litter box odor has no comparison. People don't even know I have a cat, until I tell them. I LOVE that. :D I'm wanting to install an automatic litter box, because I have a dog that eats poop...

    Variety and amount to feed?

He's recently had dental surgery, the shelter extracted one of his canines, so...

    New Owner of a Shelter Kitty!

    Hello all!  I am new (again) to cat ownership. I'm usually more of a dog person, I am loved by three Labrador Retrievers, who are all curled up around my chair as I type this, but my daughter recently realized that she was legally able to adopt a cat from the shelter without parental permission...
