Looking for experiences. Have you ever hung anything from the ceiling for your cat to play with? How did it go? Is it still available? How is it going? Have you ever hung anything from the ceiling substantial enough so that your cat could grab on to the thing and lift itself up from underneath?

Right now, Kiki is lying on my left arm and chest, sleeping and obviously dreaming (I compute while lying down). Sometimes when she falls asleep, she starts to twitch like a dog does but not so obviously. I'm sure it is common, but just in case, are others are familiar with it?

I would like a flea remedy I can buy at PetsMART/wherever. I do not want it to require a prescription. Kitty has tape worms again and I want to make sure the fleas are killed first. Thank you.

They can destroy your other cats' lives. My best method so far for coping... Make a small closed belt perhaps 4 inches in diameter. Very easy to do with belt/strapping material and hot melt glue. It must be just the right size. You slip it over their head and pull one of their legs, paw...

Beware of cat on window air-conditioners. This might not apply to anyone here, not suggesting it is anything but an unfortunate rare occurrence. But just in case... My neutered outside feral attempted to jump from the window AC unit onto her nearby covered platform (with a heating pad)....

One of my cats mainly gets Purina Pro plan dry after it is placed in a zipper sandwich bag, filled with 50% water, sealed, and let saturate before refrigerating. Take some practice to get the mixture correct. Been doing that for 7+ years. About a year ago, I discovered another method that is...

After over 5 years experience... I believe controlling humidity has done much good for my cats. It is easy enough. Buy a couple of dirt cheap humidity sensors from the local megastore (multiple meters provides more accuracy). Then use your air conditioner, maybe in combination with an...

I found the exact copy at Target. I suspect that is where I bought it 25 + years and literally tons of litter ago. For two dollars. Every tiny little feature is precisely the same, including all of the plastic injection points. The old one has a number 2 on it, this one has a number 4 on it, on...

I bought 12 "Penn" decent quality (lots of bounce) ping-pong balls at the local megastore. Most of them are on the floor. Also on the floor are three of those "midnight madness" or whatever they are called plastic balls with bells inside. We are getting a lot more use out of the ping-pong...

This is about how I am dealing with a bully that made my other cats' lives miserable... Cats need to play. But whenever the another wanted to play, the bully would attack and stop them. That's just one example of how it was making their lives miserable. As any longtime cat manager knows, cats...

My Calico stands on its hind legs to butt the palm of my hand when my hand is raised above its head. Sometimes it grabs my hand but rarely uses its claws. It obviously enjoys that, it will do it three or more times in a row consistently. So I wonder how it learned. I've been trying to teach my...

The main part of the box would be made from the same plastic and process that Sterilite uses for their clear smooth plastic boxes. I think it would require three boxes, or two boxes per area plus one roving box. Every box would look like a standard litter box with tall sides depending on your...

Anybody have actual experience with Littermaids? I'm thinking the real potential benefit is only that it sweeps the litter after each use. It's very simple, it moves a rake through the litter. I can make something that does better. The only difference is it would not be automatic. I know there...

Looking a gift horse in the mouth, I asked how they can afford to ship 40 pounds of litter for $16. This is Chewy's response, probably not meant to explain anything. "FedEx works just as hard as we do to make sure all of our Chewy family members are happy with their orders. The specific costs...

Speaking of "artificial and fabricated toys & equipment"... As I've said before, my indoor cats have a "Skyway". It's mostly made of 1x4s, 2x4s, and a few very wide boards. It's overhead, just above head level. Had it for years now and they still use it all the time. It has two ramps as access...

To be perfectly clear, I'm talking about the Fenix HL55 headlamp. It uses a Cree XM-L2 T6 LED. Up until now, I have been a hardened skeptic when it comes to LED flashlights. I was turned off by early attempts that produced crappy looking dim light. Not anymore! As described in my last post,...

I bought a powerful LED headlamp. Took it for a ride after dark two nights ago. It was warm out but having the thing strapped to my forhead at eye level, it is so powerful I could see what looked like moderate to heavy snowfall that was probably actually teeny tiny specks of pollen. It was not...

I just got wind of the idea that fleas can be controlled by humidity. We have a very hot summer and I've been using the air conditioner a lot. It removes tons of water. My male cat's skin condition has improved to nearly 100%. Apparently it's a seasonal thing. I'll be prepared from now on. Will...

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....
