Greetings, everyone. It's been quite a while since I've been to the forum. My cat's name is Boston Blackie, named after a detective in a 1940s radio show. Like the detective called "Blackie," that's what I call my cat, too. Anyway, he's been totally healthy. Has all his shots. He is five years...

IGNORE THIS POST -- I HAVE REPOSTED IT SO I COULD SUBSCRIBE Greetings, eveyone. It's been quite a while since I've been to the forum. My cat's name is Boston Blackie, named after a detective in a 1940s radio show. Like the detective called "Blackie," that's what I call my cat, too. Anyway, he's...

What should i do to keep the cat off the counter top i caught her laying on it many times i make her get down but when i leave the kitchen she will get back on the counter top again

I have two, and Pookie is about one year older than Bubba. Both females. I spoil them; they are house cats and do not roam outside. Recently, we took them to the vet to get their bottoms trimmed of long fur as they were having accidents in the litter pan. We got Pookie in the carrier alright,...

Not really bragging, some people spend lots more in other ways on their pets. I like to spend at the front end. Purina is enforcing their ban against selling Veterinary Diets Oral Care without a prescription. So $44 is the black market price for a $32 bag. What other food/treat options are...

Yoga is an ancient technology of personal transformation. Its tools are remarkably simple, and yet, its effects are profound. The true power of yoga lies not in the strength and vitality it gives the physical body (though this is undeniable), but rather in the profoundly positive ways it can change...

Are there any materials I can use on an office chair (either new or re-upholstered) that will not get it turned into a scratching post? I have two senior cats, both with all their claws, and Bebop in particular loves to use his claws on my office chairs. The front upper part of the...

I'm using a book to learn how to clicker-train my cats. I've been doing it for 5 days with Ebony, and 3 days with Blackie. The book I am using so far is "Getting Started Clicker Training for Cats," by Karen Pryor. We 3 have all learned a lot so far. My question is for anyone who's familiar and...

I wonder what you all think about this. I have a female cat named Flaggie; she is 4 years old. (I also have two other female cats and all get along.) This is Flaggie's back story. A friend of mine had a stray cat show up in her backyard. She started putting out food for her and looked for the...

We been using recycled car tire rubber 1/4 inch thick mat since March 2015. It works very well for climbing and it doesn't shed onto the floor. It was cut in strips and hot melt glued to 1x4s with about 1/2 inch hanging over each side. They have some trouble climbing down, like cats do on...

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...

I'm getting ready to order one of those laser mice toys from Drs. Foster and Smith (our Pet Smart is out of stock until the holidays) and am tempted to order some of that spray cat repellent that contains Methyl Nonyl Ketone. They have a can for about five dollars. Has anyone used this, does it...

I discovered an effective way to help a nervous cat maintain its mental health while living in captivity with other cats. In theory, it's simple, you just provide it with a place only it can get to. In this case... Their Skyway includes a very narrow path, the narrow edge of a 2 x 4, going to...
