Hey all- I've read here a suggestion to stop cats from peeing in inappropriate places is to lock them in a small room with a litterbox to retrain them. I'm thinking this is what I have to do, but I wanted to know whether I should put his kitty friend in there with him. She's not exhibited any...

Someone told me they saw a toilet paper holder with a cover in a catalog 'somewhere'. Anyone seen this. I have a couple that won't leave it alone and another is trying to get it off the shelf I'm currently storing it on. I tried turning so it won't roll out and then she gets so frustrated...

*** *** PLEASE NOTE - squeamish individuals may not want to read past the second paragraph *** Our 12 year old male DSH Bubba has steatitis, possibly as a result of eating salmon & tuna flavored food from a well-known manufacturer. The vet says that it's more likely due to Bubba being unable to...

Bayer, the company that sells Advantage, a good and safe drug for controlling fleas had a problem. The problem is this -- they make and sell the drug in only one concentration -- 100g/litre or 9.1% concentration. Much more of the drug is needed for big dogs than for small cats. A big dog needs...

Why, oh why, can't people follow directions? The family that adopted Hushpad also have a lab (dog, not chemistry lab). I really did not forsee a problem with Hushpad and a dog, particularly a large, friendly one. Plus, the people went on about how they would probably never meet anyway, as the dog...

Hi there I have two cats, 4 and 5 years old who have always lived inside in a flat.

Been controlling humidity for perhaps 15 years. No more eye seepage and ears look very clean. Not like before. The only other thing that changed is perhaps their diet is better. Without a dehumidifier, the air conditioner and heater can be used simultaneously to reduce humidity, when needed....

We have a gorgeous young male red tabby, neutered and vetted here. He has been at the shelter a bit too long for comfort and will be "re-evaluated" this Wednesday, June 29th. The shelter does euthanize cats. We will not only pay his adoption fee but will find a way to get him to you--if you can...

Just became a cat owner a few months ago and thought I had done all my homework on the pros and cons of owning a cat, but there's always something you miss. In my case, it's the dust from the kitty litter that has settled over everything in my home. Is there anything that can be done to...

There is some evidence, especially in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions that some species of fleas are becoming resistant to some Fipronil-only topical flea medicines. Add to this the unusually warm and wet summer and fall, flea infestations are becoming common even in households where all...

How much do you have to pay to keep from feeding your cat animal digest (ughh!)? I am helping the neighborhood cats out right now...and there are a lot of them...and I refuse to feed them animal manure as seem to be in all the dry food I have come across! Anyone know of any clean dry cat foods...

I recently started working in a place where I frequently see two obviously feral cats in the back parking lot. They are both adults, all white, beautiful cats, but a little skinny, and kinda mangy, but they look in good health otherwise prbably siblings. The parking lot abuts a fiels with trees and...
