Hi everyone, it's me again! My newest baby, Eddie, has hacked up two hairballs in the past month that I've had him (because he grooms himself, AND my über fluffy butterball, Binx), so I'm trying to find simple solutions. I groom them regularly (thinking about getting a Furminator for Binx...

Hi all, Ok, so most everyone in the babbling thread, or whom I've had PM discussions with know most of the story. For those who don't, here is the backstory, leading up to my current anxiety ridden mind: Binx is my 1.3 y/o resident male (neutered) kitty that I'd only had for a few months...

The thread title may sound a bit misleading, but that's the only name I could think of for what's going on with Binx. His right and left eyes are producing boogies, but he doesn't have a runny nose, and from what my vet explained, he wasn't showing the usual signs of FHV. What is happening is...

Hi y'all, it's me again! So I've started Binx on a diet to try and help him shed some weight (he's 12lbs, which is a bit on the pudgy side of a Russian Blue male). The issue I'm concerned with is... well, I didn't get any papers assuring me that he is a purebred cat, only visual exams have lent...

I have my fuzzy butt, Binx, on a strictly Blue Buffalo diet, but now it looks as though he's gained a little weight. He's about 12lbs now, supposedly a Russian Blue, and looking a little pudgy around the middle (plus the vet recommended slimming him down a bit). I've got him on a (5.5oz) can...

Ok, so here's the backstory: Binx had taken to sleeping in the bed with me about a week after his adoption. It's been a month and a half since I first brought him home, and he's quit sleeping on the bed with me. Could this be an aversion due to a recent visit to a friend who has dogs (and I left...

Hi! I hope this is the right forum, I'm still getting used to this. So I live in Texas, and it can get ridiculously hot during the day, but my RB has discovered the balcony (my fault, I was re-potting his cat grass and left the door open a crack). Now that he's gotten a taste of fresh air...

Hi y'all! First off, I'm quite sure it's not health related vocalization, because this poor guy's been traipsed to the vet three times in a month, the last visit being two days ago. Right now we're looking at a possible viral infection, because he's still got what I call "blinky eye", but...

Hello all, As you may notice, I am new here and also to cat ownership (or being a cat slave, as my sister calls it). I recently adopted a 1y/o male RB, Binx, about a month ago, and he has yet to open up to me. He's completely comfortable around the apartment (even the vacuum cleaner!) and...

I recently adopted a 1 y/o make Russian Blue, who seems to have taken to everything in my apartment, but refuses to sit in my lap or cuddle. He sleeps on the bed with me, and has bursts of energy at particular times of day. I'm terrible with patience, but is it a good thing that he hangs out on...
