Sheba's first ingredient is always real meat, for example for the chicken flavor it's: chicken, chicken broth, chicken liver as the first three ingredients. There's also no corn or grains. They do contain meat by-products or poultry by-products depending on the flavor, but I can live with that...

Mine does the same thing. I have a feeding station that's basically a thick piece of finished wood, and Buddy's three bowls -- one for wet food, one for dry, one for water. Bud figured out that he could spill the water by knocking it off the wood, and every time I looked the carpet was wet and...

They are plotting your demise! I've wondered what's communicated between house cats and strays they see through the windows. I imagine strays taunt the housecats, like kids taunting other kids for being momma's boys. "What's the matter, you gonna come out of your cozy and warm human house and...

I agree, it's early days. Also, Kiro gave good advice that I think will help: Can you give Parker his own space for a little while? After everything he's been through, and the cruelty he's endured, it's natural that he's going to be slow to warm to you. But he's also now in an environment where...

People here can give you good tips on protecting your furniture, and I'm dealing with that now myself with a brand new couch and chairs. Have you looked at those "tower" scratchers? There's one called The Ultimate Scratching post, you can probably get it for $30 to $40, and not only is it a...

I just wanted to say that attacking you at night time and bursting around with energy at night is completely normal kitten behavior and comes with the package. For the first two or three months with Bud, I slept with my feet tucked tight into my comforter otherwise he'd attack them constantly...

I can peg a Brit accent to pretty much anywhere in the country, and I've never been there. Too much Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey, Rome, etc.! I know what you mean about being mistaken for Irish though. There's a local bar here that is very popular with Irish ex-pats, and I went there one...

Muahahaha! Plus now we have Michael Fassbender, Damian Lewis, Deborah Ann Wohl, Rose Leslie, Amy Adams, Ed Sheeran and a whole lot of other people proving red hair is awesome. Oh yes. Every redhead has heard every redhead-related joke a thousand times, and every person who ever makes a redhead...

Someone asked in a "purraise" message if that's my natural hair color in the photo I posted. I can confirm that, yes indeed, that's the authentic shade that gets you made fun of mercilessly as a kid. You know, gingers have no souls, we're leprechauns, we're Satanists, we shrivel up and die in...

First off I should say that they're lucky in some ways, because if they're in PetSmart that means they're up for adoption and hopefully someone will give them a home soon. Also, I have to give my local PetSmart credit -- not only do they run a better store than my local PetCo, but the cat area...

Can you tell your husband he's just got to deal with having the kitten in the bedroom? I know the situation has been hard on you, as you've said, and you've had panic attacks. It's clear you care for your new cat. But the situation is also hard on the kitten and he's just a baby. I think it...

That's exactly what this is, except using coconut oil and using a paper bag at the end to soak up excess oil so the popcorn's not too greasy. The great thing about it is that the coconut oil itself gives it that buttery flavor. You can completely skip butter if you want to and just add salt.

I find that offering a small bit of "people food" gets my cat off my back if he's hassling me about food. In other words, if I give him a very small sample then he knows he doesn't like it and he stops bothering me. That's the theory, anyway. It mostly works.

Thanks, and I like your tribute to Angel. I'm not very good at expressing stuff like that, but TBH I turn into a big baby when I think about cats dying. I can't even contemplate losing Bud. But Angel was obviously loved very much.

Here's baby Bud grooming my long, luxurious locks.

I've wondered that myself, whether there's a difference between "regular" coconut oil and the stuff meant specifically for popcorn. I'm not sure. The coconut oil I have is the kind that is liquid or turns into almost an ice cream consistency depending on the temperature. Some people think...

The coconut oil is the essential ingredient. I don't know why. It sounds counter-intuitive. But it's definitely the difference-maker, and I've tried a lot of different ways to make decent popcorn until I stumbled on this. Thanks foxxy...paragraphs are our friends haha. In this case the paper...

The one in my avatar (and below) is still one of my favorite photos of Bud...a friend of mine saw the photo and said "Dude, your cat looks like a lunatic" but I think it's pretty funny...he does that "radar dish ear" thing a lot with just one ear, depending on where the sound is coming from, and...
