carpet...or did you apply the rope directly to the bare "pole"?. Also,

Brought new cat home last week - went great - last two days I have
found her poop on the floor beside the litter box.  It is lightly
dusted with litter - so it is being thrown out of the litter box - any
ideas?

    I recently had my two year old cat (Tohru) spayed.  I realize waiting
this long was a mistake, so please don't bother pointing that out to me.  I
didn't have the money to spend.  So instead I kept her and my tomcat Kyo (a
rescue) apart while I was away, and monitored them ...

You won't believe this!
I brought a little black stray kitten home just now... I'm not keeping
it, I'm taking it to the shelter tomorrow.
Ok, I was at the 2nd corner store on my bike...

My two cats (ages 13 and 12) are going in next week for a dental
cleaning.  The 13 year-old (Kitty) also needs a tooth extracted.  The
last time I got this done (different vet), it cost $700+ for the two
of them (a couple extractions).  The vet ran all kinds of blood tests

Tweaker is a good traveler who doesn't mind where he ends up as long as
he's with me... but I usually take an air taxi to/from the island when I
go to the mainland, and it's often a bumpy ride, especially in the winter
months.  Several times now Tweaker has puked and crapped in his ...

I've noticed some cats (such as one that belonged to my grandmother)
seem to develop a skin condition on their back, just at the base of
their tail.
My own cat seems to lick that spot more than anywhere else on her

I'm hoping I can get some answers from some cat owners here in the group.
My son has a 4 year old cat and recently his health has been going
downhill. He takes him to the Vet almost weekly because just recently
he's stopped eating and he's been losing weight. This last time he ...

My thirteen yr old cat has just been diagnosed with a hyperthyroid
condition, I would appreciate any information if someone has gone
through this...
Thanks

Hi, all!  I'm new here.  Just found the site yesterday while trying to find a
way to help my kitty, Lucky.  My husband found him in the middle of a busy
road when he was small enough to fit curled up in my hand.  That was 9 or 10
years ago.  He was fairly healthy for several years, ...

As the doggy favouring half of a quintessential dog person/cat person
relationship, I have given in to my cat loving husband and will be
getting a kitty soon. I was wondering if anyone has any tips for
picking a dog-friendly cat. I could get a kitten, but I would prefer an
