As a dog and cat owner keeping my dog out of the litterboxes has always been a huge issue. Growing up my family kept the litterbox in the garage where the cat had 24/7 access through a door but the dogs couldn't get to, but with 3 cats now 1 litterbox hidden in the garage just doesn't cut it. My...

I don't know about you guys, but I think it's hilarious when my cats try to "help" around the house. They're helpful creatures...or at least they try to be. Share your funny pictures of your cats "helping"! I'd love to see them! Aria and Calypso help with laundry (And from our recent move:)...

I love fluffy cats. Well, I love all cats (don't we all?) but there's something about big bushy tails and toe fluff that melts my heart. Share all your puffball pictures here! Two of my three girls are what we affectionately call the fluffs Miss Maya Rose (AKA Boo, the scaredy-fluff): And...

My boyfriend and I are planning on moving, and will have a roommate who's a good friend of ours we've known for years, and I'm really worried about getting all the non-human family members moved in and settled and happy. Our roommate doesn't have pets so it's just ours. Other than the fish we...

Idacats 2016 is just wrapping up. The girls are exhausted but I'm proud of how well they did. HHP had some unusually fierce competition this year, and a ton of gorgeous cats, including 2 beautiful non-standard purebreds, a Devon Rex and a Japanese Bobtail. Maya (3yr old longhair tuxedo) came...

Some of you may know that aside from my cats and dog I keep many pets, notably fish. My boyfriend and I are a little obsessed with aquariums, and I thought it'd be fun to keep a running chronicle of my baby Dash's growing up and share it with you guys, because I know a lot of you keep fish, too...

My 18-month-old Australian Shepherd, Sky, has what I call his "baby", a stuffed elephant toy he can't live without. Ever since I got it for him, on the recommendation from a friend because it's a supposedly borderline-indestructable toy and he shreds his toys within minutes of getting them, it's...

I'm very curious about Calypso. I first noticed when I got her about a month ago that she was very thin and long and it's become more dramatic as she's getting bigger. Her vet says she isn't underweight amd she's growing fine. She is very thin and has a very long body and tail, longer back legs...

I just brought home my girls' new little sister! I've decided it's time to bring home a new baby to love after losing Isy. But I'm just stuck on her name. She's 3 months old and already VERY fiesty and talkative. She has a big loud purr and meow and nothing so far has fazed her even a little...

Just out of curiosity I've been wondering if anybody could identify what Aria is a mix of. We've been calling her a Siamese/domestic longhair mix because that's about all we can come up with. Neither of us know a ton about cat breeds or genetics. The shelter only said that she's a lynx point. We...

Despite being an Aussie mix, my dog Sky is having troubles with the cold this winter. It's his first winter with me so I've been watching him to see if he needs any kind of coat and he's been freezing his little butt off when he goes out in the backyard. I got him a fleece jacket when I first...

I won't be bringing home my new kitten until early December (she's only 5 weeks currently) but I've been wondering about feeding. Of my 2 adult cats I currently have both came to me as older kittens and during the time they were kittens we free fed, but have now switched off of that. Both of...

A year ago today my first cat, Zena, passed away very suddenly. I was only 4 years old when Zena was given to us by a family friend. She was a perfect angel and lived such a happy life with us. Our beautiful girl was 13 when she got sick. It happened all so fast. On the first day she started...

This is purely for curiosity's sake, I of course love her no matter what. I have a 3-year-old longhair domestic named Maya. An online friend of mine's family breeds Ragdolls and one day recently while we were talking about our respective cats I sent her a picture of Maya and she commented that...

I've been showing my Ragdoll mix Maya in HHP in the local CFA show we have here every year. This year will be her 3rd show and she's been steadily ranking in the Top 10 in the majority of her rounds. I love showing her and the whole atmosphere of shows in general, and I'm really excited to show...

I talk about my 3 girls, my cats, all the time on this site and I thought Sky needed some lovin' too. After all, it can't be easy being a canine baby brother to 3 cats. Sky's Story As I'm studying to be a dog trainer, meaning I've been studying positive reinforcement training methods as well...

I made my account about a year ago but sort of forgot about it and just now started actually posting, so I'm going to count myself as new. My name is Lyka and I am obsessed with cats. I got my first cat when I was 4 (a beautiful longhair tabby named Zena, now waiting for me on the Rainbow...

I made an account on here about a year ago but never really got on until now, and now that I'm trying to be active I'm running into a problem. I can create threads fine and have no troubles with that, but I cannot figure out how to rely to a thread. I feel really stupid asking how to but I...

My oldest is my wild child. She was a stray and has never lost that "must be outside to hunt and explore" thing, and I'm fine with that since we live in a pretty safe neighborhood where lots of people have outdoor or outdoor/indoor cats and there isn't a whole lot of traffic or anything. But...
