Re: Shaddy's weird water dish behaviors

we bought one of those fountains too, but it was a pain in the you know what. there were some design flaws with it for one thing, and honestly it was a lot harder to keep fresh and clean than a regular bowl. SO... we sold it on craigslist and the cats have a regular bowl again. I don't miss having t...

Re: Moet likes to lick paint....

I have a cat who likes to lick all sorts of things. She likes to lick the phone cord. She likes to lick anything with adhesive, like tape. She likes to lick the bathtub faucet. She likes to lick people. There have been several occasions where she has woken my sleeping husband by licking his armpit o...

Re: Shaddy's weird water dish behaviors

Shaddy likes to use her paw to remove pieces of food from the food dish as well. Sometimes she will play with the food, batting and chasing it around. She is the only one of the three cats who does these particular weird things, but then each of them has some sort of weird behavior. Meshach, the que...

Re: cat afraid of litter box?

actually the door to this bathroom is never closed because we don't use it as a bathroom. I *might* be able to fit the smallest size box in the upstairs bathroom if I put it directly under and behind the toilet, but it would be right under the toilet plumbing too. It is a very small bathroom. One ch...

Re: cat afraid of litter box?

definately not related to the spay, as it began before the spay. Have never even heard of the paper towel idea before, so I'm definately game! since our house is a small footprint bilevel, there is very limited "out of the way" space. the rooms we don't use often are closed off in order to...

Re: My Boys are peeing on cat tower help!!!

to at least discourage them from using the carpet area again, you could lay down kitchen foil where they are going. A lot of cats don't like the feel and sound of foil, so you can at least keep them from the area with the foil.

Re: Tooth stuff

i have a cat who has food allergies, and one of the symptoms was vomiting. You may want to discuss this possibility with the vet. once we found the right food for her the vomiting ceased (except for the hairballs... ack!)

Re: cat afraid of litter box?

well the behavior has been going on for quite some time. It was originally only defecation. From my observation the behavior began when she had a heat for the first time. Shortly after that heat we had her spayed. Since the vet has not discovered any health reasons, I originally made the conclusion ...

Re: My Boys are peeing on cat tower help!!!

Yes, pretty much most pet stores carry it. I was at petsmart yesterday and saw it there. It is also called "comfort zone" and it comes in a pink package. they're probably peeing on that cat tower in order to warn the dogs to stay away. My cat is not fond of my brother, and one time when he...
