    Any insights into Lucy's cute and unusual new behavior?

    A bit of background before I get to my question.  My beautiful 7 year old black girl, Lucy, is a bottle fed baby.  Other than the occasional late night catawauller and a sonorous purr, she rarely vocalizes.  Instead of talking, Lucy shows me what she wants.  First she will gain my attention...

    DIY Cat Self-Scratcher

    A friend sent me a link to this video that describes how to make a simple self-scratcher for your cat using wooden cleaning brushes.  I haven't made one yet, but it looks like something my cats would enjoy.  Yours might too.

    Bird feeders and rats?

    We have 4 bird feeders. 3 hang from shepherd's hooks near windows to entertain Archie and Lucy; 1 hangs from a tree further from the house. We've had the feeders for years.  The cats love them.   The other night, Archie woke me up at dark-o-clock pounding on the window beside my bed.  He stood...

    Nutrition and UTI - Seeking Advice

    First off, I wasn't sure if this thread belongs in Cat Health or Cat Nutrition.  Apologies if it is misplaced. Poor Lucy.  She contracted a UTI.  Friday night, I noticed that she took a long time to urinate.  Frequent and long trips to the litter box with minimal elimination. There were no...

    Changes to Tidy Cats Litter Formulation?

    We've used Tidy Cats litter for ages.  I like this brand because it produces very little dust and Archie and Lucy tolerate it.  But about a month ago, after buying a replacement container, I noticed a giant dust cloud when I poured the litter into the the cat boxes.  At first I thought it was my...

    Any thoughts or feedback on TerraMax Omega 3 Fish Oil?

    Hi, I have been thinking about ordering Dr. Mercola Krill oil as a supplement to help with inflammation in my 5 year old tabby, Archie.  When I searched for it on Amazon, TerraMax Omega 3 Fish Oil also showed up.  Like Mercola, TerraMax comes in a pump and it's quite a bit less expensive...

    Spike!

    I first met Spike at a friend's New Years Eve party and fell, instantly, in love with him. Sadly, he has suffered a traumatic life.  Spike was in a terrible fight, which damaged his right eye and left ear.  His owners did not want to care for a sick kitty and abandoned him.  Fortunately, some...

    Has a cat ever saved your life?

    I don't mean figuratively as in the paw print that asks, "Who Rescued Who?"  I mean literally.  Here's my story. Some years ago, we shared a house with 4 or 5 cats and my tricolor collie.  One night while sleeping, I awoke to the most god-awful sound.  All of the cats were racing around the bed...
