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...

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...

I took my cat to vet a week ago when I noticed a wound on leg. Cat had been hiding, so I suspected something was wrong. The vet opined it was from a cat fight, but it can't be as I always watched him when I let him out for limited periods. He gave him antibiotic. He continued hiding, and a...

What kind of flea meds work great and are safe to use on cats

Tomorrow is Duffy’s 18th birthday (possibly 17th). This is guesswork based on the estimate when I adopted him. I adopted him on Jan. 31, 2003, and he would now be 17 or 18 if the estimates of 3 veterinarians at the time were correct. I arbitrarily chose his adoption date as his...

After momma cat got fixed, she decided she loves her five month old kittens, after all. Before she got fixed, when she was pregnant again, she hated her kittens. Now she's been nursing them and they're one big happy family again. Can this momma cat still produce milk, after being fixed? Or, is she...

The momma cat started hissing and raising hell toward her four month old kittens, then she went missing for seven days. Now that she's back she looks like she has a buldge and she's passing gas like the last time she was pregnant. I had planned to get her fixed, but expected it would be at least a...

We have two cats, both 10 year old neutered males. Indoor only, perfectly healthy. Zero medical history. Current on vaccines, etc. About a month ago we purchased a new toy. It's basically a mouse on a wire, and a wand. There's no catnip or any other attractant/stimulant on the toy. They go...

My cat was sleeping peacefully on my lap when a commercial for a radio station came on tv playing Katy Perry eye of the tiger. The cat suddenly jumped up frightened half to death, ran behind the couch, and didn't come sneaking out until the song was over, looking around like she expected to see...

Anyone have any experience with Avoderm for cats? I am being forced to change cat food because APD is discontinuing their Select Choice which I have been buying for over 20 years now. I am not sure I know what feeding cats avocado long term would do. I just feel it is an odd...

Four yellow kittens. The two fat, long haired ones can't consistently use a litter box. They go on the floor right next to it. They just can't figure it out. The other kittens are proud of their litter box skills. They look at the stupid ones with disbelief. They seem to be trying to tell the...
