So, I put an ad for the Geist on craigslist and some people have came
over to visit him. Unfortunately, if anyone but me pets him he growls
and hisses.
He's really immature -- yesterday he kept hitting the shades (and he

Hi.  I need some advice.
Our cat is a spayed female, five years old, and an "only" cat.  She
stays indoors except for when my husband takes her for a walk around
the yard on a leash.

Greetings from Norfolk
One of our two cats has been (provisionally) diagnosed with a kidney
prooblem.  This has meant that he has to go onto a special diet (no salt,
high quality protein etc).  We have also been told that 500 mg of Omega 3

Well, Zeitgeist is gone. He left this morning.
I spent my last night with him last night. He jumped up on my desk and
lied down, two minutes later he raked his claws into my hand and bit

Used to be that when my Deetoo was hungry she'd "mrow, mrow" which

Now that she's two years old and hungry, it's "Mrowrowrowrow. MROW!", which
translates into "Get your fat a.s over her and feed me. RIGHT NOW!"

What do you think about the above? It seems like to me that it would be easy
to hook a fian and a filter together and make and make my own. Since I'm
only worried about cat hair and not bacteria ...
Have you had good luck with any products? It seems crazy to me to buy

We are building a fence in our yard to keep our cat inside. We don't
want him to jump over it. How high should we make it? He is very strong
but also very heavy.

I have a cat that DOES clean himself, and yet still stinks.  He is an outside
cat, not neutered.  Any Ideas...... I am so lost, this was a ferrel cat that
was eventually tamed... I cant wash him, or it would be sudden death to me
lol.  He literally smells like a dead animal, at 1st ...

Over the past 2 weeks our cat, RED, has begun to do something that I
think is odd.  I left a pair of pajamas out and she kneads them with
her front paws -- that is not the odd part -- she also now kneads with
her back legs as well (something I have never seen cats do before) and

My cat has been lethargic and anorexic; he vomits about every other
day.
His feces often times (not always) smell like feces and vomit, they
have a very heavy, dull, pungent smell (this is recent) - sometimes

I am posting this (and it is long) because I think our society needs a
huge “Wake-up” call. As a shelter manager, I am going to share a little
insight with you all...a view from the inside if you will. First off,

I've just put just a few of the many cat photos I've taken over the years
on line:
