clean up day by
---MIKE---
I always scoop the litter boxes as soon as I see they have been used BUT
I don't change the litter very often. Today was the day. I bought a 40
pound bag of litter, and one at a time I dumped the old litter, washed
the boxes and put in fresh litter. I don't think Amber and Tiger will
notice the...

week period. Since her last appointment (9/16) she has not been

Cat show in NYC this weekend by
dgk
I'm torn on the idea of cat shows. I don't like the whole idea of
breeding and selling cats when there are so many strays that need a
home, and I would never buy a purebreed. But I have to admit that
there are some mighty fine looking cats there. Ugly ones also. My
favorite are the Maine Coons....

Cat fine one minute, vicious the next by
Brian Link
We've finally finished integrating Chloe into the household. The three
cats have established their pecking order, and can co-exist (the boys,
Tiger and Louis, retain their strong bond, and they give Chloe a wide
berth)..
Chloe on the other hand still exhibits some unusual behavior. She will
purr...

Transporting pets from Berkeley to NYC by
Stephen Denney
I have a friend with five rabbits and five cats. She was recently informed
that her company will be moving from San Francisco to New York City at the
end of this year. If she moves, what is the best recommended way to
transport her pets? I think it would be too long to drive cross country;
by plane...

How much Temptation? by
Lumpy

...
How much Temptation per day is enough? The package doesn't say. The cats
give me no clue because they are not going to stop when they should.

SH!T !!!!!!!!!!! by
Candace
The little monster got away from me. A cute little orange/white kitty
showed up in my yard on Saturday out of the blue, very chatty, begging
to eat, and never left my yard again. I can't bring him in because I
have a cat separation issue going on inside anyway. So I've fed him,
of course, and...

Encourage scratching on post? by
DevilsPGD
I finally got my cats a real scratching post -- Bear (adult) and his
sisters has always loved cardboard flat on the ground, so it's never
been an issue, but my kitten (Maxx) is a vertical scratching. I'd
rather accommodate his needs then try to convince him to do it my way :)
That being said,...

and swore it was great...

We have just adopted two rescued cats. Winston, the male is extremely shy and has been hiding behind a shoe box for the past few days. I started letting them explore the house and it looked like Winston was coming out of his shell because last night he came down the stairs. But when I was going up...

Biting cat by
J King
Hi
I've recently befriended a stray that has been hanging around my barn. He's
gotten very attached to me, following me everywhere. He craves attention.
Lately he has begun biting me. I never see it coming. It's not a hard
bite...more like a nip. The more he trusts me the more he bites me. ...

The Portland cat (long update) by
Rhonda
You might remember the 3-year old orange tabby I posted about. He was
trapped by us as a 10-week old feral, kept for 3 weeks and "tamed", got
his shots, etc., then went to a new home in Portland. She moved 3 mos.
ago and left him with a co-worker. Abernathy reverted to feral-mode, and
the new owner...

Can a kitten of 6-8 weeks be successfully adopted and be a normal grown

I have heard that they must be at least 3 months old. Is this true.
