Hi! I have two dogs along with my cats and I know what a pain it is to keep the dogs out of the litter box while allowing the cat(s) to have their place to "go". I also have our litter boxes in the basement. As I had an area where I could put up a pet gate, I found one that is tension-mounted...

We had a litter of kittens born in the backyard about 2 years ago. I brought the 4 kittens in and eventually they were all adopted (one by me!). We trapped the momma cat and had her spayed, and we cared for her outside our house. However, as we live in the North East, winters are harsh, so I...

It is so hard to introduce a new kitty into a house with other cats. They are so territorial. My 16 year old is my "original" cat, but two years ago I brought in the other 3, all kind of accidently (one was abandoned in my neighborhood and showed up micro-chipped, matted, declawed and with a...

Mine didn't like that -- only the classic pate. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks so much! Might try different foods, but they've been eating this stuff for a while so it just seemed strange to all turn their noses up at it at the same time. Thank you for the info. I guess they're just being difficult. Will try something else.

My 16 year old cat also has hyperthyroidism and the medicine is bitter. However, as you said she's been on this since March and has eaten the cat food I assume with the medicine mixed in without issue, it's a bit strange to suddenly refuse to eat it. I know that my cat is very fussy and do not...

Hello -- I feed my cats Fancy Feast wet classic, usually any of the chicken/turkey/beef/liver combinations. I tried changing to different foods but they rejected them or had stomach issues, so this is what I give them, along with some Blue Buffalo Wilderness Dry chicken. My question is this...

Hi,  I am new to this site and I don't know when you made your original post, but as I was searching for information on hyperthyroidism as well, I cam across you post.  I have attached an excerpt from a website "http://www.allfelinehospital.com/pet-library.pml".    Apparently, some cats can get...

We have a feral cat that basically lives on our front porch.  She had a litter of kittens over the summer which we trapped and successfully adopted out (one by us!). We trapped her as well and had her spayed.   She has her food and heated water bowl, and "cat condo" , and has become pretty...

Yes, I've heard that declawed cats are more "mouthy" than non.  Plus, I don't know how long he was outside.  He was so matted, I couldn't tell if he was a he or a she, so I totally understand that any pulling on his hair had to be painful.  Will take it very, very slow and am sure he'll come...

Wow.  They do look alike.  Thanks for the great advice! 

Yes, he was neutered when he came to our house.  He is quite handsome and someone cared enough about him at one time to get him micro-chipped, but you never know what happens in people's lives.  I will definitely take your advice. As you can see from the other picture, he has adjusted very...

About a month ago, an extremely matted, long-haired cat showed up at my door and it was quickly apparent that it was a stray that had been on its own for a while. He seemed very friendly and tried very hard to come in our house.  I also noticed that he was declawed.  I took him to our local...
