    Cat Won't Stop Coughing, 3 Vets Stumped

    Aw, thanks! Not to derail the thread, but I and my kitties moved in with my parents and their two cats Fry (the one with the crypto infection--we think he got it during one of the times he escaped and hid in the bushes) and Leela in San Diego so I could find save some money for a house of my...

    Cat Won't Stop Coughing, 3 Vets Stumped

    I saw that nobody has mentioned this yet, but it could be possible that your cat has a fungal infection like cryptococcus. There are certain regions of the world where the cryptococcus fungus is more common and it's mainly contracted by the cats inhaling the spores. My parents' cat Fry has a...

    Weird human food enjoyed by Cats

    I like to buy the vegetarian meat substitutes to eat for lunch or as a light snack since they still taste and smell like real meat, but have fewer calories since I'm on a diet. One day for dinner, I had baked a package of these things below to eat with some instant curry and rice: I had left...

    Does your cat use the litter box when you clean it?

    My little diva girl Sakura ALWAYS has to go into the litter box first after I clean out the box and replace the new litter, even if all she does is dig and scratch around. She comes to "supervise" whenever she hears me cleaning her specific box, too.

    Renaming an adopted cat?

    I don't think there's anything wrong with changing your new kitten's name to something you prefer, since she's part of your family now. You will be the one saying her name the most, after all. You can always get her a new collar tag with her new name on it fairly inexpensively. They have the...

    Has your cat ever bitten you?

    Charvone is an easy-going guy and only bites (or tries to) when he has to get his claws trimmed, take a bath, or get shots at the vet's office. He never bites down very hard, though. He also occasionally bites when he is being held when he doesn't want to be held. Charvone does give love bites...

    Have any of you developed allergies (esp severe ones) to cats after you get one?

    I was allergic to cats as a child and then it suddenly went away by the time I was 12, and then my parents adopted our first cat once I appeared allergy-free. However, since the past year or two, I seem to have constant allergy symptoms; either my eyes are itching, I sneeze a lot, or my nose is...

    Would you own a black cat?

    Lots of black beauties in this thread! Lastly, these kittens in the pictures below are not mine, but from the VBSPCA adoption center in PetSmart when I volunteered there back in 2013. They were just so adorable that I wanted to take them home really badly, but I lived in an apartment and was...

    When Cats Groom Each Other, Why Does It Always End In A Fight? We Don't Act This Way At the Hairdre

    I think a cat social grooming can be a form of asserting dominance in addition to bonding and shows of affection. Sakura-chan likes to wash Charvone's head and face, and even holds him down. If he tries to move away, she nips him on the ear in an "Ohh no, I'm not done with you yet!" He'll...

    Sakura's First Anniversary

    Thank you very much! I am very lucky that they not only tolerate each other's presence but became best friends. This is my first time living with cats who actually like each other.

    Sakura's First Anniversary

    Heads up: This is a very long post. Last year on this day (9/30/2014), Sakura-chan joined our family. It feels like she's been with us much longer than a year, though. As I wrote in my introduction thread, we got her from my husband's friend who was about to go on deployment.. The long story is...
