Just wondering if any of you would know why our three year old cat likes to lick plastic bags and also photos. I'm always worried that there is some chemical on these items and would cause Tux to get sick. Does anyone else experience this and would any of you know why? Thanks in advance

My cat, Gracie, is a pretty hefty and muscular female, about three years old. My new roommate's cat is considerably smaller and about the same age. My cat, of course, is the aggressive one. The thing is, she has been around other cats, introduced into their environments and had one introduced into...

I am a new cat owner--I adopted a stray young cat dropped off at my cousin's house Thanksgiving. He has been having a problem with one of his ears. Vet said it was a yeast infection and gave me some drops to use for two weeks. I came up north for the summer and wanted to make sure the ear was...

I've just recently gotten a kitten. She was a stray abandoned by her mother. I've never had a cat before, so I'm fairly new to taking care of them. Simba (that's her name) likes to "chew" on my hands, instead of playing with her toys. I've tried the wands and other feathery toys to distract her...

My cat seems to have zero interest in drinking any water I put out. I mostly feed her canned food, which is supposed to have "enough water for processing". However, there are times when I have to leave dry food around. In any event I'd feel better if I saw her drink water regularly. With food, I...

I don't have a Costco near me but could buy through a friend if they have premium canned food at attractive prices. If you are a member, which brands do they carry (Fancy Feast, Pro plan, Wellness?) and at what prices? Thanks.

Both my cat and I are sold on canned food. Her tastes are also very refined, she especially prefers Pro Plan and Fancy Feast. Problem, is these ar equite expensive, day in day out. Any strategies on where or how I can get best prices on them? I would love to average 25 c/can, otherwise whatever is...

New to me at least. Pet store are selling gravy, bottles look pretty close to salad dressing. One thing I can't understand, how are they meant to be used? After all most cat food sold has its own flavors and gravy. Does it work if you add another flavor? Or arethey meant to dress up food you...

A coupke questions inspired by my cat's eating (mis)behavior: (1) I have been feeding my cat one 5.5 oz can daily split between two meals. I open a can, give her 1/2, refrigerate the rest, use it later. But lately she has started resisting left-over food. I know she likes that kind of food, she...

We are inexperienced, with a new cat. She has had quite a few favorite spots to rest, from an outside chair to various rugs in the house. Lately she has decided to spend whole days on our bed. Is this harmless or should we coax her out of this? In other words, should there be an enforced...

Someone had mentioned in another thread that her cat doesn't like to eat paste-like food, preferring "chunks in gravy". My cat must has the same taste. But for some reason premuim canned food tends to be paste. Maybe most cats like it, but mine doesn't. If you can recommend some good values in...

My cat eats too fast. No, She is not starving, she just eats everything fast. :-) I am told this could be behind some of the vomiting. Any experience with trying to slow down a cat's eating?

Thanks to many comments made on this board, I have learned the value of keeping the phosphorous content low. However, most cans do not seem to list it, or does it go by some other name too? In particular, what is "ash"?

What are your experience and opinions concerning Meow Mix (pouches)? Randomly experimenting, I have noticed that this is one kind my cat appreciates greatly, cleaning off the last morsel, the plate looks as if it just came out of dishwahser. :)

I have heard a lot about cats liking catnip, but how exactly do you use it in practice? Can it be used as food additive to attract them to food they don't otherwise find appealing?

My cat simply refuses to eat any of the nutritious premium foods I have bought after much research! First I thought she simply doesn't like paste and prefers chunks in gravy texture. However, that turned out to be only half true. What she likes are chunk/gravy cans from cheaper brands like Friskies...

What is the temperature range over which cats are comfortable? I would like to have some sense of when they must have heating or airconditioning, and I don't necessarily want to go by human instincts.

Starting with no experience or knowledge, initially I just bought the cheapest. My cat loved it. Then I read around a little and learned to avoid "by-products" as well as grains at the top of the ingredient list. (The cat was underwhelmed by the new "premium" food, but a little experimenting...

Just out of curiosity, what is the difference between feral and stray, the two terms I come across now and then?
