I'm wondering what others do to prevent cat litter scattering on the floor around the box? Miss Kitty has a covered box, which she always uses, although she occasionally pees right outside it on the plastic "cat mat" if it's there, or on the floor if I've taken it away for cleaning. (I'm fairly...

Miss Kitty ensconced herself in a particular chair shortly after arriving. Since this is a somewhat shaky 18th century chair, I was happy to let her have it, but purchased a fleece-style cat cushion to put on it to save the seat. Last week I washed the cushion, and now she will not lie on it,...

I've been faithfully feeing my cat two little cans of wet food per day, supplemented by good kibble. I've been giving her one can of fish-based food and one can of what she prefers (meat with gravy) per day in the name of variety and balanced diet. Now I read that cats shouldn't get fish...

I was using Fresh Step, and found that there was little or no odor and it was easy to clean. Tried a corn-based one, but didn't like the smell. Went back to Fresh Step. Tried Arm & Hammer, but there was distinct Eau de Cat Box in the house and I found it very hard to scoop: it tended to form a...

I originally asked this when you were away, so it got buried somewhere...what is the brand name of the Target litter you like? I went there looking for a house brand, but found none, and there didn't seem to be a shelf label for one. And the Target employee I found in the vicinity wasn't...

I'm considering moving the cat's box to the cellar in order to keep the dog out of it. The box is currently on the 2nd floor of the house. The cellar door would have to be left ajar in order to let the cat have free access, but I'm 90% certain the dog would not go down there. The cat, on the...

can one use a bait with added tranqualizer or poisen to catch/dispose of wild cats that are killing the wildlife on our property? How would you recommend to do this? thank you

My cat Fila is an 11 year old female indoor cat. About a week ago she started to have blood in her urine. Yesterday she kept going to the litter box to pee but I don't think anything really came out. Then she went and sat in a bucket with dirty work clothes and tried to pee there, when she...

I have seen many statements like those quoted below on webpages about Abyssinians... but none of them actually gives any references for these "genetic studies". Does anybody have the details of the published scientific papers (if any) that described these findings? Many thanks, Jane "Genetic...

I know a cat that constantly licks himself; making himself bare skin in areas and now getting a little raw. He's had medical tests and nothing shows up. At one time he was put on a medicine that made him sluggish and almost inactive( plus a weight gain). His family really don't want to go that...

Now that I've read how much healthier canned food over dry, I've been trying to convert my cat. She is incredibly fussy. Only eats dry food. She does not over eat, so she is fed at will. I have tried about 30 different brands and flavors of canned foods. The only kind she's will to touch are...

I got a sample of this food and my cats really love it. It's probably the only good quality dry food that they both like. I was wondering if there was any down side to this food other than the price, which is very steep. I will probably mix it with Wellness Indoor since I really can't afford to...

I've been feeding my two cats Feline Caviar Vennison for over a year and they really like it. I just bought a new bag and they wouldn't touch it. When I read the ingredients I saw that the formula had changed. Also the shape of the food. Why the hell would they do that?? Anyway, I need to find...

We have a 15 year-old calico, in otherwise good health. About a year ago, she went deaf, and about a month ago went blind. Putting her down is NOT an option. The vet says she'll adapt better than we will, and so far that's been the case. We're looking for advice from people who've been down...

Hi, I would like to get a perch for her Highness to look out the back window of our house. She has many options for the front but there is only one window that would be possible for backyard viewing and it's in the small dining area. I have seen some perches for around $20.00 in my Drs Foster and...

I just adopted my 2nd kitty from the Miami animal control... he is the most adorable Orange Tabbyhe has no major concerns eyes drippy or watery - no! everything else appears to be fine... the only thing is, is thathe keeps sneezing... like as if he allergic to something.... he activity is...

What is a good cat food. Male, 12, a bit itchy. Vet said sometimes cats can't tolerate the grains in dry food because they are strict carnivores. I did try a hypoallergenic food but it is 1.69 for each small can and I can't buy it anymore. I'm looking for some ideas on food. Some of the commercial...

I wonder if anyone there can share stories or give me some encouragement in a situation that I'm finding quite distressing. I live in Edmonton, Canada. One evening two weeks ago in a cold snap with temperatures going down to -20C that night, a very friendly cat ran up to me in the parking lot of...
