I looked at the link, but I'm not sure what distinguishes this litter--why is it better for small spaces than other litters?

*bump* I hope my overly wordy posts haven't scared anyone off!

Yes, he's neutered. (So are Chesty and Eva.) I talked to the bf again last night and he said Ziv rarely does his meowing thing when he's around, so now I'm wondering if it is partly related to the bf being out. Also, I forgot to mention that Ziv never, ever meowed (except in the car) before...

Hi everyone. Life has gotten really busy lately, so I haven't been around as much as I'd like, but I'm back to ask a question. Over the past 1.5 months, Ziv has developed a habit of sitting by the front door and meowing plaintively. At first I noticed that it was a pattern--he does it whenever...

When I had fleas, I called around to a bunch of exterminators (on a side note, $70 is CHEAP for around here!). Almost all of them said they did one visit, and they guaranteed it for 30 or 60 days. One place said they came out once, you had to agree to do all sorts of vacuuming and blah blah, and...

I would take her to a different vet for a second opinion. If you can get her to a feline specialist, all the better. Go to Hissy's site, Meowhoo.com, to this page: http://www.meowhoo.com/Cat_Health/Ve...sts/index.html And see if there are any specialists near you. If you can't find any there...

Whoa...that's so strange! Are you sure you set the foggers off correctly? I know this sounds stupid, but when I first did it, I didn't realize that I had to actually get the SPRAY going for it to work. In other words, you have to press down really hard until the fog starts shooting out (ugh...

Hi Lainy, When I first adopted Eva (she was the second; Ziv was the first), I tried to make sure that each cat had "alone" time. In my apartment, the only rooms that have doors are the bedroom and bathroom--the kitchen, living room, and den are all open to each other. So, I would take one cat...

I feel your pain. In my previous apartment, I had fleas two summers in a row--and I didn't even have cats at that point! The neighbor had indoor/outdoor cats, and it seems that they must have brought the fleas to my doorstep, and I carried them in. Your treatment plan sounds pretty good to me...

Oh, poor thing...I'm sorry no one was here when you posted again. Do you have any news? I would try to take your kitten to a different vet. If they're busy because of calving season, perhaps you could find someone who specializes in cats, or at least focuses on small rather than large domestic...

Aw, a sweet photo and so pretty! Black cats are so hard to photograph--I've got too many pictures to count where Chesty or Eva's apparent cuteness is obscured. Oh well, they're so beautiful to look at!

Yes, I've gathered this from reading other British posters' messages on this board. But, Yosemite pointed out the most important issue here--this Tom came inside Kate26's house to attack (and presumably has access to kitty when she's outside, as well). It only makes sense to me to keep her...

Well, all I have is anecdotal evidence, but-- My dad (a pilot) has a small plane (a six-seater) that the family uses to travel from the main house to the country house--almost every weekend in the summer. When my stepmother's cats were alive, they would travel with us in the plane, and let's...

Can you just keep her inside? Even if you succeed in getting rid of this Tom, others may come along...or dogs, or vicious people, or a whole variety of problems. Litterboxes come with the package when you have a cat. You may have succeeded in getting her to do her business outside, but you...

This is the kind we have. Chesty is a bit bigger than your cat--a little over 12 lbs and also very long and lanky, and he fits perfectly in this carrier. It's a bit more expensive ($49.99 at Petc0) because of the double doors, but I like having both doors. In any case, it should give you a sense...

Elizwithcat, I don't know where you are located, but here are two websites that have links to Persian rescue groups around the country: http://www.felinerescue.net/PersianRescueLinks.htm http://persiancatrescue.org/rescues.htm#national If you click around on that website, you'll see this...

Ok, I have a better idea of what she's like now. It sounds like she can be affectionate when she wants to, while other times she seems spooked. Am I correct? Eva is like this, too. She especially doesn't like being approached when she's walking on the floor. She's ok if she's lying on the...

Has she been like this the whole time you've had her? Or is it a recent change? What kind of place do you live in--house, apartment, city, country? How many people live in your household? What is the household like--busy, noisy, calm, variable? How do the other people in your house treat...

Here's what I've read and intend to try soon: Start taking your cat in the car on trips that don't have a destination. Start out very, very short, around the block or so, and work up gradually. Give a treat after each trip. I'm sure this doesn't work for all cats, but I think it's worth a shot...

If you have a double-doored carrier, this is even easier, but a single door will work fine, too. With a single door: Open the door and put the carrier on its opposite end (with the open door facing toward the ceiling). With a double door: Just open the top door. Pick up your cat behind his...
