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...
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.
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...
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...
No, I don't mean tuxedo cats, I'm talking about B&W photos of your beautiful companion. I couldn't find a thread dedicated to black and white pictures, so I thought I'd start one. Here's a few of mine. I look forward to seeing your cats in black and white.
Archie enjoying the setting sun...
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...
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...
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...
If you haven't seen Manny and his amazing selfies, it's quite a hoot. Be sure to click thru the slide show; there are many great pictures. Manny is quite talented. Now I have to see if I can train Archie to operate a camera...
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...
I've got a nagging question about Blue Buffalo Wilderness Dry Food that I'm hoping members here can help me with. I searched the forums, but didn't find a thread that addressed my specific question.
My cats have been on a combination of various wet foods and Wilderness Indoor Chicken Dry food...
I had a recent problem with an order from petco.com. I thought I would see if my issue is unique or if others have experienced similar issues.
I prefer shopping at the brick & mortar store, but my near-by store has trouble maintaining stock on some items. So I occasionally order from...
Hi, I would like to review the cat furniture by pussycat.com, but can't find the products listed in the review section. It's amazing furniture. The link to the company is:

We live in Louisiana where I recently retired. Now I have lots of time to dote on and photograph my cats :-)...
