I'm starting my search now, because I'm hoping to add another kitty to our home in the next 6 months or so. All the cats I've ever had have been good old mixes, and I'd like to look for a more specific breed this time. I've always loved Ragdolls. In fact Nya (while being your generic mixed...

We're coming up on two weeks without her. The vet came to our place to release her from her pain, but it was the hardest decision I've ever had to make. She was a once in a lifetime cat. I miss her so much. (Pictures are older, since more recent ones are not nearly as flattering).

I havn't been around in awhile... I've been very busy. We got a dog I have a question hopefully you guys will be able to help me with. I'm having trouble housetraining the dog, and am looking at restricting her water intake (only giving her water at certain times during the day). The...

which would you feed? and why? I'm more posting this out of fun and curiosity than anything. I've got my two settled into their diet and am not looking to change, but I know everyone feels differently about food, so I'm sure there will be a wide variety of answers! So here are the foods...

Took Nya in to work with me for a lion cut today. My apartment has been rediculously hot (32 degrees celcius in the evening on the hot days), and with no end to the heat in sight (it's only going to get worse!) I figured this was the most humane thing for her. Well, after she gets over the...

Buddy used to MEOW all the time. Loud, obnoxious meows, pretty much whenever he felt like it, or whenever he wanted ANYTHING. Since we've moved it's pretty much stopped thank goodness, except one time, every day, consistantly. 5 am. I really appreciate that he's not meowing ALL the time...

So Nya had another urinalysis this week, a re-check. There was bacteria again. Sent it in to the actual lab to figure out what it WAS, and the vet wants to put her on 3 weeks of anti-biotics to fight this thing. She's been on and off anti-biotics for what seems like forever, and I'm skeptical...

Leave it to men to screw it up. I'm not home tonight, and left Matt with simple instructions to feed the cats. Easy. Wait until the meat is fully thawed, split into two portions. Feed and supervise. Well apparently the cats were getting hungry before the food was thawed, and Matt saw that...

Buddy has always been growly over the things he really likes. I can manage it most of the time, but there's still one thing I can't stop him from freaking out over: his bone-meals. (They're raw fed, I give them ground up premade stuff most of the time, but about once a week or so they get a...

Basically, there's a few people in town here who mix ragdoll and himalayan cats and call them Ragamuffins. I always was under the impression that a Ragamuffin is a breed of it's own, not a mixing of two other cats... So tell me!

Has anyone used Rescue Remedy or similar? We're going to be moving soon and Buddy tends to be rather skittish about changes, so I wanted to get something to make the process easier on him. Do you think Rescue Remedy (the one I can get is actually called "Animal Rescue" and it's made by...

Nya and Buddy both act like they never ever get food. It's starting to wear on me. Buddy is worse, but Nya is a queen beggar! They're both raw fed a pre-made formula with 85% meat organ bone and 15% veggies. They are both fed more than the reccomended for their weights. Buddy gets enough...

I found this great resource online once about when to call the vet for your cat. It had things to call the vet NOW for, things that could wait until the next day, things that could wait a week, etc. I'm a bit of a freak with the cats, and tend to overreact about the slightest thing, and wanted...

So I just got back from a weekend away. I had a friend coming in to feed/look after the cats for the 3 days I'd be away. She said everything was fine when I talked to her yesterday and today. I got home (just now) and find Buddy is rather... bloated. I looked around the house to check and...

Nya had a UTI a month or so ago, and went in today for her recheck urinalysis. When they took the urine, the vet said it was clear and looked like there wouldn't be any issues, and she'd call me when they had the results. When they did call me, they told me there were a significant amount of...

I havn't updated photos of my kits in quite some time, so here's a bunch of photos all at once. Buddy, my crooked-eared, probably in-bred, but incredibly cute and special boy: And my beautiful princess Nya who's been very difficult to get photos of lately so there are only 4...

Wellness is re-vamping their dry cat foods (kinda like they did with the dry dog foods about a year ago, but they actually did feeding trials this time, so hopefully it will go better for the kitties than it did for the dogs!) I think the new formulas look pretty good, and they're formulated to...

Hey guys, just thought I'd post about the little mess we've been through. I noticed last night that Nya was trying to pee a LOT (infront of me), and was only peeing little dribbles. And it was red. Great. Off to the vet we go (I had to work this morning, so friends helped me out!) Vet says...

To all those people, vets, pet food company reps, and uneducated pet store employees who still maintain that wet food will rot out a cats teeth: My 12 year old girl had to go in for dental cleaning this week, as she had some tartar buildup, but it went completley smoothly and there were NO...

I guess this belongs here, since she's a stray technically. I found a kitten outside my house tonight. She was meowing from the bushes as I unloaded my car (Ironically, unloading cat stuff!! lol) She's adorable, very sweet and affectionate, and purrs like a freaking truck! I'm putting up...
