I occasionally remember someone posting to this group about "the unthinkable happening". Apparently their cats were playing, or perhaps fighting and they weren't stopping it, and one of the cats got an eye clawed out. As someone who has managed cats for decades, I am very mindful of the risk of...

As someone who has managed cats for decades, I am very mindful of the risk of eye damage. Some kids just LOVE putting their face in the face of a cat. When you assume it has fully functional claws (like it should), that is hideously cringy. Check out this YouTube video. It's not graphically...

If you are open to trying other litters and haven't tried the new Tidy Cats unscented ("free and clear" or something like that)... Looking at it, it is all smooth round pellets. That seems unusual. As I recall... The last Tidy Cats I bought was like tiny crushed rocks, not smooth and rounded at...

*`Looking for advice on how to help our beloved Victoria (white cat). She was recently diagnosed with the beginning stages of kidney disease and non-regenerative anemia. We've been giving her subcutaneous fluids at home. Can the kidney disease and non-regenerative anemia be stopped, or slowed...

We have a beautiful, white, almost seven years young female cat who has been unfortunately diagnosed with myelofibrosis and non-regenerative anemia. Thus far, we've had no luck with finding a specialty veterinarian who can treat these two diseases with a positive outcome. I find it very...

One of the worst things about looking after a cat, is the putrid smell of urine they can leave all over the house. The problem is some cats completely ignore their litter boxes. They don’t even know it exists (despite your best efforts of showing them). But it’s not just the smell that’s...

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....

After reading some very insightful posts here, I've decided to register to ask for your help. My cat Dicky is not doing well at all, and after a number of tests and visits to the vet, I'm not much wiser. Any tips or advice are more than welcome. Dicky is a male tabby of 11 years old, I've had both...

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...

Say, what are you all doing in here flaming one another? This group is dedicated to the love of cats. Do try to remember that and take your sniping somewhere else. Pookie doesn't mind so much as she's a fighter, but Bubba is quite the sensitive one. She is still very nervous and wary over...

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...

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...

Now that Spring is about to Spring in 2.2 days, and given that other-than-cats subjects are fair game; Please look at the information below. Please note that songbirds, bats and vast sections of our ecosystem depend on beneficial insects for proper survival. https://www.mosquito.org/page/faq ...

Now that spring is just around the corner, some of you might be itching to do the traditional Spring Cleaning, usually a good thing. But your cats may not think so: Liquid Lysol (or any phenol-based disinfecting cleaner): Harmful or fatal to cats of all sizes from Tigers to domestics in...

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...

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...
