My cats are indoor-outdoor cats. I know that's not popular with some, and I understand the arguments. However, I am wondering about flea and tick prevention. We use a topical treatment (advantage multi) in the summer and spring months. Once the cold weather hits (we live in Kansas...it gets...

We have two cats and two dogs. One of our cats, a 16 pound male named Nylo, wants to play with our other pets A LOT. However, our other cat (female, 8 pounds, Phoenix) and one of our dogs (female, nine pounds, Gage) will not play with him when he tries. They run away. I don't think they're...

Phoenix, our four year old orange long-haired tabby, has been acting strange since yesterday evening. She has been hiding underneath our bed, and then she moved to behind our couch. She isn't breathing hard, vomiting, or anything like that. She seems relaxed, just tired. However, this is unusual...

My wife and I are going to California from Kansas. We will be gone 7 days at the most. We have three indoor/outdoor cats. I have left strict instructions with my 18 year old daughter on how to care for them. I am still worried because I am their main caretaker and I have never left them for more...

My wife and I are going on a road trip from our home in Kansas to California. The most we will be gone is 7 days. We have three indoor/outdoor cats. I have left strict instructions with our 18 year old daughter on how to care for them while we are gone. I am still worried because I have never...

The temperatures have reached the mid 90s here in Kansas and, of course, the humidity is horrible. I have three cats, and I have noticed that one of them (a long-haired orange 2 1/2 year old named Phoenix) has been very lazy. She is eating, drinking a little more than usual, and I have run my...

My wife and I recently adopted a stray cat who had been kicked out of her house up the street. We named her Stormy. In the process of slowly introducing her to our other two cats, we let Stormy stay in our garage with food, a litter box, and a straw shelter for the really cold nights. We soon...

My wife and I recently took in an abandoned cat. The neighbor's up the street threw the poor girl out when they had a baby. Anyway, we have been slowly introducing her to our two other cats with mixed results. They are not ready to live together quite yet, and unfortunately our house does not...

I have two cats. Nylo is a four year old male, and Phoenix is a two year old female. Phoenix has lived with us for about two years now...we got her as a kitten. From the start, Nylo has been very welcoming. However, earlier today, Nylo was lying on the arm of the couch, nearly asleep, when...

There has been a small stray cat hanging around our house. It was thrown out by some idiot that lives up the street from us. We tried to keep it, but it refuses to get along with our two cats. Today, we tried to give it away to a lady that was interested, but the stray buried it's head in my...

My wife and I currently have two cats, a four year old male, Nyla (we thought he was a female when he was a kitten...oops), and Phoenix, a two year old female. We were wanting to adopt a new kitten. Both cats are neutered/spayed. Any suggestions on what gender we should get? Any other suggestions?

I am trying to keep my cats enclosed in my backyard, as one really enjoys being outside. I have started to run chicken wire across the top of my six foot wooden privacy fence. I have bent the top of the chicken wire backwards, in towards our yard, and left it flimsy with no support brackets...

I know there are a ton of feline leukemia threads on this site, and the last thing I wish to do is flood you with another one. However, I think my situation is a little different. I have two cats...one that we adopted when he was only a month old, and another we adopted when she was (we think)...

My wife and I saved a kitten two years ago. She was all alone on a very cold, windy day outside of the county courthouse. Everyone just passed by her like she was a piece of litter...that always angered me...as she mowed at them. We took her home and introduced her to our other cat, and they...

I want to build a cat enclosure for my two cats because I get so nervous when they go outside but they demand it and of course who am I to say no? Any ideas on weatherproofing a cat enclosure but still giving them the benefit of feeling like they're outside? Thanks.

My wife and I are leaving for a week vacation. My daughter, who is 18, will be looking after the cats, so there will be someone here to give them treats, clean their litter boxes, interact with them, etc. however, the cats clearly like me the most, and sometimes they will follow me around the...

My cat, Phoenix, is scratching the vertical trim in a few of my doorways. I plan on fixing the damage with wood filler, paint, and sandpaper. Then, I'd like to find a fabric or product that is enjoyable for cats to scratch and cover the places where she scratches. Any suggestions? Are there any...
