    Litter box issue

    I wasn't sure where to put this. My dog (small a 13 pound westie) has decided that she wants to go into the box and eat poop. Ugh. In the past week I have been raising the box up higher to make it stop. The last time the top of the box was at 17 inches. I think the dog still jumped in. Now I...

    Litter box issues plus some

    Long story I know but I am at my wits end with worry. My poor cat. A few weeks ago my cat age 6, fixed, started to not use her litter box. I had her to the vet so that is all good. The cat had her own room/area. The two dogs (small dogs) were not allowed in the room and had not even...

    Biting to get up and fed it the morning

    Isabel bites if she is hungry.  I feed her wet.  Morning, lunch, after I get home from work, and at bedtime.   And I know she is getting enough because she doesn't always eat it all.   I don't have an issue with it so much except in the morning.   She gets up at 6:30 every day.  Earlier than my...

    Indoor/outdoor cat, now indoor

    Isabel is about 9 months old now.  I swore I was never going to let her outside.  I had decided that because with former cats once they were out all they wanted was out.  But I started considering it.  First on a leash when she was young but soon I just thought the heck with it and let her out...

    Infection after spay

    Isabel had her spay 3 weeks ago now.  Had her stitches out (2 weeks post surgery) last Saturday and all seemed fine.  I have been checking on it daily and so far had been seeming fine.  Now tonight I felt some wetness on her belly and see what looks to be puss coming from a small opening.   I...

    17 week old cat on counters

    Isabel is always trying to jump up on my counter.  So far she seems to only do this while I am at the counter doing something.  I push her back and say get down but that lasts about 2 seconds.   Will this eventually make her stop do you think?    Everyone I mention this to says to spray them...

    Izzy's name. Thinking of changing it.

    I have a dog named Lucy.  I'm thinking I should not have named a cat Izzy because I think Lucy is thinking I am saying Lucy when I say Izzy.   I thought it would be different enough.     Now don't know what to think.    She is about 17 weeks old and knows her name.   I'm thinking she would...

    wild cats reproducing over and over at my sisters

    I guess this is sort of a rant.  My sister started off with two homeless male cats that moved in to her barn.  So it has been like at least 10 years since this started.  Since then females have moved in and had litters.  And so it goes. they have moved from the barn to her garage.   I can't even...

    nail trimming

    I am a little excited as I cut Izzy's nails tonight.  She didn't flinch at all.    Do you only do the front or do you do the back also?

    Kitten/cat going outside on leash

    Ok.  I have had cats before that went outside/ roamed and came home when they wanted to.  I don't want this with Izzy.   I had initially thought she is not going outside at all.   I live in a house with a fenced yard.  But fenced is not secure by any means especially since she can just climb up...

    Kitten time for shots

    So Izzy will be 11 weeks old this Monday.  I have not gotten any shots for her yet.  Is there a schedule for getting vacinations for cats?  And which ones to get?   Also I was planning to do volunteer work at the local humane society but not sure if I should until Izzy is vacinated.  I don't...

    Adding kitten to 2 dog household

    Hello, I am getting a kitten in a week or so , 7-8 weeks old. I have 2 westie dogs now. Has anyone added a kitten with over zealous dogs? They have nothing against cats at all. If they come upon one outside they go up and greet it. They do chase squirrels though. So what terrier doesn't chase...
