Cat Won’t Wear Collar?
Posted on February 24th, 2010 11 commentsMy cat hates wearing a collar. She is mostly an indoor cat, but she wants to go outside and I do not want her going out without any id. (she is not microchipped as I will be moving when college starts, and do not believe in putting computer parts into humans or animals) She has been fixed, so pregnancy is not a problem. She comes when called. I live on a lot of land, over 100 acres, where there are wild animals and high traffic and I am worried that she will be eaten by bigger animals or run over by a car.
This isn’t just a cat to me, she is my baby and she is irreplaceable. How do I get her to wear a collar/leash or where could I find a kitty harness, something that is comfortable for her that she will not try and bite off? Can she be trained to wear it? Cassidy is a 2 yr old Tabby/Bengal mix, if that helps. -
Trying To Decide Between Two Cat Names?
Posted on February 24th, 2010 20 commentsI have a new cat and have two names I’m thinking of naming him. Either Apollo or Strider.
I like them for different reasons.
Apollo: Greek God of the sun, fits with the cat’s appearance, as he is a spotted bengal and has a glittery coat. But I’m not sure about the name because it has three syllables and I’m not sure if it would be too hard to say repeatedly, as well as for the cat to respond to.
Strider: Has two syllables, so it’s easier to say. But I don’t know the cat’s personality yet, so I don’t know if it would fit this name. Although it is the name of a person (in Lord of the Rings), so maybe that wouldn’t matter too much.
Which one do you prefer? If you had a cat with a longer name (more than two syllables) do you shorten it or wish it was shorter? -
I Have A Half Manx, Half Siamese Cat, The Litter Box It Changed Daily, But It Still Smells Terribly. Any Ideas?
Posted on February 24th, 2010 2 commentsYou can try another brand of litter and/or sprinkle in some baking soda. If your cat will accept a covered box, these help a lot.
A smelly box, however, is often the result of smelly poop or pee, and that is a result of diet. Take a look at your cat’s diet and try a better quality food that has meats as the first ingredients, has no corn, and no-to-few by-products, lay low on the fish, and I bet you’ll see…I mean smell…a huge improvement.Siamese Cats Changed, Daily, Half, Have, Litter, Manx, Siamese Cats, Smells, Still -
Question About A Shedding Cat?
Posted on February 23rd, 2010 6 commentsThis is actually a question for a friend but he has a short haired bengal and he’s given it lots of baths/ brushes it a lot, but it still sheds a lot and he sneezes from his allergies. Is there something he can do to get the excess fur out so he will stop sneezing and there wont be hair everywhere?
