How often does a scratching post need to be replaced?  I've noticed my kitties scratching the furniture more often lately so I inspected their post and it seems quite worn.  Pepper, my male, tried it this morning but his claws seemed to glide through the fluff so he got bored.  I have turned it...

Hi.  It's been awhile since I've been on the site. I have a 11 month-old kitten named Pepper who has been having some eye discharge.  It's clear but looks a bit goopy.  I had noticed that he was constantly getting crusties in his left eye and I would clean it out but then I noticed some watery...

Hi! Last Thursday my 6 month old kittens Pickles and Pepper went for their spay and neuter.  I think the surgeries went well but the vet said that Pickles shouldn't get any exercise for a week since spaying is a major surgery.  I get that but it's hard to keep her calm.  She's our wacky...

I went to our local(ish) pet store and saw that the Wild Calling cans went up 40 cents in price!  They are $2.80 CDN for 5.5 oz!  That's insane!  Only the 5.5oz premium line of WERUVA is more (and maybe Nature's Instinct).  Kind of ticks me off.  My kitties are super-picky and they would...

Hi, I was just wondering how many rounds of de-worming can a kitten need or is safe to have?  Both my kittens, Pickles and Pepper (now 4 months old) have had two rounds of de-worming.  I got them a second round when Pickles threw up a roundworm a few weeks back.  She had always been skinny even...

My kitten Pickles threw up a roundworm this morning.  It was huge and disgusting.  I guess the first round of deworming didn't fully take!  And now I know why she's been having a hard time gaining weight. I have already called the vet and I'm picking up more deworming medication for both...

Why do cats insist on chewing on electrical wires?  It isn't safe for anyone!  All of the cats I have owned  have done it and my kittens are no exception.  Usually a firm "no" scares them away from the wires but they keep coming back.  Anyone have success keeping cats away?  My old cat could...

My kittens refuse to eat leftovers.  You'd think they were born in Buckingham Palace instead of a cow barn in the middle of the prairies. Yeesh.    Once I know they are done with their meals, I will scoop up whatever is left and put it in the fridge.  But when I bring the leftovers out when...

Hi,  feel like I'm starting a lot of threads lately, but please bare with me.... Today I brought home a variety pack of Tiki Cat.  Of the 12 cans, it turns out 4 of them say they are meant for supplemental feeding only.  I understand that it means it doesn't have all the nutrients a cat needs...

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with WHISKAS pate?  I'm trying to feed my kittens mostly canned food but can't afford to do just grain-free so have to pad out their diets with the cheap stuff.  I don't have immediate access to Fancy Feast which I see recommended here a lot so have...

Hey all, I have posted a few threads about my new kittens Pickles and Pepper and how Pickles seems to be much smaller than her brother and is pretty skinny.  Not emaciated, but definitely thin.  I figured she wasn't crazy about the kibble I was buying but she was eating it (and her brother...

A couple of weeks ago I took in two kittens from the same litter -- a brother and sister named Pepper and Pickles.   They were barn kittens and I have had them checked out by the vet and dewormed.  Pickles was always smaller than her brother and the vet did point out that Pickles was a little on...

What a waste of money!  Here I thought I was being clever in purchasing some liners.  The box promised to have 6 month's supply (well, less since I have two pans) and I thought clean up would be so much simpler.  Little did I know that I would have two cats who channel Jules Verne and try to...

I am new to being a multi-cat home and even though it's only been 2 weeks I am absolutely loving it!  So I thought this would be a great place for everyone to share the lovey/cuddly moments between their fur siblings (whether bio or adopted) 

I was just curious if my new little guy would classify as a solid grey or a tabby.  I have read that even solid colours carry the tabby gene and that the stripes can be seen in certain lights.  With my guy he looks grey on first glance but his stripes are still somewhat visible no matter the...

I was just wondering where I would need to look to check in for potential recalls.  Should I just keep tabs on the particular food I'm feeding or is there some general site that will list them all? I'm getting nervous because I've been doing some research and it seems even the quality pet foods...

Hi, Last week I took in two kittens from the same litter -- a brother and a sister.  But even though they are litter mates, the brother (Pepper) is larger than his sister (Pickles). I had them vet-checked last week where they were checked and treated for worms.  Even the vet commented that...

Hi there! I`m new to the site but not really to cat ownership (though FAR from being an expert of any kind!).  I have a husband and two small children (4 and 1). We recently took in two kittens from my friend`s farm.  They`re still a little shy and skittish but it`s been a week and they`re...

Hi, I'm new to the site. I got two new kittens this past week.  They are only about 2 months old so still small.  One is a male -- a grey and white named Pepper.  And the other is his sister -- a grey tabby named Pickles.  Both were barn kittens I adopted from a friend so they have had no...
