So here's the deal: Shermie has lived with cats before: when he was a kitten my cousin lived w/ me and she had a kitten too.  And then I had Luna, my older girl cat when I got Shermie and they learned to get along, though he would try to play with her and she wouldn't have it.  And then, for a...

This is new behavior in Shermie but it's not consistent.  It started when I had my other cat Luna over (she lives with my mom currently because she's an awesome mouser and my mom missed her old kitty) but she stays with us when they're out of town.  Luna is pretty scared of our dog so when she...

Hi All, Gee...I had hoped my peeing questions had ended when Luna's (spayed female, 8yo)  litterbox issues were FINALLY solved.  But now it's Shermie's (neutered male, 5yo) turn to start in on the fun.  I have read a ton of stuff on cat's peeing but I wanted opinion on this specific situation...

Hi Y'all. Not sure if this is the best forum, but it has more to do w/ the animals' behaviors than the actual adoption process. My friend and her boyfriend currently have 0 pets. He wants a dog, she wants a cat. Which one should they adopt first? He wants a larger dog breed and she's worried...

Hi Y'all, I don't know if this is the right forum, but I had a random question about the ages of cats. What age is considered "adult"? I know my cousin's cat had kittens at like 10 or 11 months old (under a year) and I always considered 1 year to be "full grown" though I have no evidence as to...

Hi!! I took my two kitties to the vet a few weeks ago and he told me that they should probably have their teeth cleaned soon. Luna is almost 8 and has never had hers done and never been brushed and the vet recommended that I do it early next year. Shermie is 3 1/2 and the vet told me the he'd...

HI, so I dunno if this is in the right forum or not so feel free to move if necessary. I was wondering if getting leather/vinyl furniture would be more dander-friendly than cloth. I was thinking this because since it's made of more actual big pieces rather than woven stuff, that dander will...

Hi Guys, Sorry for the disgusting topic but I am trying to figure out how I can tell if my kitty is having an anal gland issue. Tonight, Shermie came on the bed where I was watching a movie on my laptop. I kinda pick him up/pushed him so he wouldn't be in the way. That was when I noticed this...

Hello Everyone! So I wanted to share my experience so far with my boyfriend who is really allergic to cats. If you want to read my original thread please go here: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...=204106&page=3 but you can reply on this one. Well, I haven't moved in yet (a lot of things...

Hello - So I am hoping to move in with my boyfriend in the next couple of months (if his cat allergies are kept at bay ) My main question is that I'm looking for tips to introduce my 2 kitties, Shermie and Luna to my boyfriend's dog, Sidnie. I've read a little bit about this but I'd like to...

Hi, So I have no idea what forum this belongs in but here goes... My boyfriend has very severe cat allergies. Not to the point that he gets near dying when he's around them but he starts having breathing problems within minutes of entering my house (I have 2 cats). We're getting to the point...

Hi, I am looking for more info on cats with herpes. If you have cat with this can you let me know your experiences? Like...have your other cats gotten it? Have you given them L-Lysine? How are they doing with it? Any problems? What kind of problems are possible? When he was adopted, the vet...

So I have read a lot on here about ppl making their own raw diet for their cats, but I really don't have the time (or really the skills, as i'm not a hug meat-eater myself) to do that. I was wondering what people thought of the frozen diets you can buy at the store such as Primal. Thank you.

Ok, Here's the deal: I have a 6 year old girl cat who pees outside the litterbox. This began about 4/5 years ago when I lived in a townhouse. There were 2 litterboxes (uncovered) (I have 2 cats): 1 in the laundry room on linoleum flooring and 1 at the bottom of a closet over tile. In both these...

My neutered 2-yo male, Shermie, sometimes just walks around doing this yowling sound. I have no idea why. I live on the 2nd floor of an apt and there are no cat owners around us and he's not looking out the window while doing this or really looking anywhere. My female, Luna is 6 and spayed so I...

I have seen ads in magazines for food dishes that fit into a pedestal-type thing, either wood or metal. Is there any practical purpose for this or is it only aesthetic?

Ok, so now Luna has discovered where I put Shermie's dry food (on the fridge) and now I can't leave it out unsupervised or she'll eat it ALL. She is approaching 16lbs again (lost weight to 14 by eating wet only) because she keeps sneaking dry food. Shermie won't eat wet food so I feed him...

I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but.... When I adopted Shermie a year ago, I got him microchipped w/ HomeAgain. I didn't have to pay anything for it for the first year. Then, I got a letter asking me to renew my HomeAgain microchip for $9.99, which comes with Medical Insurance...

OK, so I have two cats - Luna (age 5, 15.5 lbs) and Shermie (age 1, 10lbs). Shermie is not a huge fan of the wet food (he pretty much licks the gravy off and leaves the rest) so he gets mostly dry. Luna, on the other hand, loves dry food. She loves wet food too. She loves food..and treats. =P My...

Hello, (sorry this is long) So since Shermie was a kitten I have been taking him up to my parents' house when I go. My mom has a cat too - Frisky. When I first started bringing Shermie up, I kept him separated from Frisk. Then my cousin came to live w/ my mom for a while bringing her kitten...
