Keep him from running outside?

My cat, Tommy is shameless. The water bottle does not work. Loud, sudden noises do not work. A foot in the way and tossing in away from the door does no deterrence. This guy is making me nuts but I love him. I don't know many other ideas that would successfully keep Tommy from running out… Read more

I would get another litter box and spread them apart from each other as much as possible. Hopefully the other cat can't guard all three. read more

Today I noticed they both have eye injuries (hers is worse than his). That's how bad the fighting is getting. I don't know wha… Read more

You don't mention how old the cats are now. Also, did something change or happen to spark this (another cat outside, did you move, something new in the home or has changed). This sounds serious if the… read more

Is my cat psychotic/bipolar or is he just being a cat?

Henry is about 3 to 5 years old, we think. He was found abandoned on a military base so he may have lived outdoors for a long time without any claws (he was declawed and fixed when PAWS rescued him). Though he is a very mellow and sweet cat, he has these random outbursts of what look like … Read more

Cat Behavior

One of our cats hates it when I sneeze... I think. Many times when I sneeze she makes a sort of weird noise and comes running to me. If I sniffle too loud she'll do something similar. I figure the noise disturbs her or she's saying bless you in her own way. Does anyone else get a simil… Read more

Strange cat behavior

Posted by: sespo515 | Posted on: 10/21/08 at 7:57am

My 15 year old cat has always been a litter box user, never really having any accidents outside the box for all these years. I have had him since he was found at about 1 year old. Several months ago he decided to stop using his litter box and start taking care of business in the kitchen sink. Very odd. I brought him to the vet to see what was up. He is older and I know that he has medical pro… read more

The litter box and bad cat behavior.

Posted by: jjenika1 | Posted on: 11/20/08 at 11:20pm

If your cat has a urinary tract infection this can make the act of passing… read more

Do remember that what we as humans ma… read more
