LOL. One of our cats likes to put bugs that she catches and certain "illicit" toys, e.g, my ponytail holders that she hunts from my gym bag, into her water dish only to then splash all the water out...

Two of the five cats I've had liked to eat bread. A fourth likes to lick the plastic bags it often comes in and the fifth likes celery. There's no accounting for their fixations.

Dear Itty Bitty Kitty,

Well, we may have found a new home for you little girl, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I really don't want to rehome you, although I know it could be for the best as...

It likely happened when she was spayed. She was another stray who found us, Mimi. She was impossible to keep quiet post-op, and she probably didn't heal properly. The vet thinks it's now closed...

Dear Itty Bitty Kitty: A hernia? Really? I sure hope the vet is right that it's closed and that you aren't in any danger. Please don't get sick while we're on vacation. I'll give you more toys if...

Dear Itty Bitty Kitty: You sure gave us a fright last night. When I first brought you home following oral surgery, you seemed to be relatively fine. So when you started walking backwards into...

And she's very good at that. There's never a dull day with Izzy in the house.

Dear Izzy: Now we know that you and your brother love to drink out of the big measuring cup, so we got you your own because the more water you drink the better. But the fact that you see this one...

Dear Henry, I love that when you "escape" to an area of the house where you're not really supposed to be, you don't use it as an opportunity to be a stinker like your sister. Rather, you find the...

Dear Izzy and Henry: Stop with the shedding. I realize that we skipped spring, but do you have to lose all your fur at once? I can't keep up, and when the late afternoon hits the wood floors just...

Dear Izzy, you are one spoiled kitty. Because we know you love boxes, we have indulged you by leaving four of them out so that you can play in them. They are overtaking the house. But because we...

Good luck, Blueberry! I'm jealous that you have a kitty palace to use. What a great option.

I've admittedly had trouble totally weening mine off dry food entirely. One cat will only eat a small amount of canned at a time, even without access to any other food. The other cat will inhale any...

I'd also suggest having your vet show you how to palpate your cat's bladder. It is possible to check it yourself to see if it is full. But there are other issues that dehydration can cause short of...

Perhaps I stated this inartfully. What I meant is that I would have gladly paid more for canned food to spare my cat and myself the pain of CKF.

+1. There are some past threads on this subject that are worth reading. I also found this chart to be helpful. When we switched to canned foods, I bought a variety of brands and flavors, primarly...

Wow, Norse. I'm glad Lucy's okay. I've had my fair share of kitty stress, so I really feel for you.

That is too cute, Reesha!

LOL!

Izzy's favorites are the aforementioned Amazon box, plastic bags (which we tie in a knot for her safety, my ponytail bands, and empty edamame shells. She has a basket full of toys she totally...

I have to wonder about my cats' little brains, too. None of them have really been all that interested in the Christmas tree. They can play in an empty Amazon box for hours, however. Who knows how...

Certainly not; Izzy and I are extremely flattered! It's my wallpaper, too, of course!

Jess, I've had good luck getting Izzy to leave stuff alone by squirting her with a bit of water. Have you tried that tactic?

We put our tree up last year when Izzy was about that age and she didn't bother the tree at all. Again, it was the tree skirt that she fixated on, although we did make sure to hang breakables up...

Thanks! Henry is my avatar. He's bigger and more of a buff color. Izzy is more orange and has a perma-kitten quality about her. Personality-wise, Izzy is a trouble maker, while Henry is a love...

Help! Why is the picture so big and why is it attached as a thumbnail, too? I knew I should have waited for DH to help me!
