Pickles &- Cinders Look at me! - Look at me!     Purred: Mon May 6, '13 9:55am PST  I used to use Feline Pine Pellets, but my Pickles wasn't very enthusiastic about it. She would carefully step in it, and then book her butt right out of there before finishing! So I found Feline Fresh scoopable/clumping, and they love it. It is a pine litter, but it's fine texture is so appealing to the girls. They love to scratch around in it, and it smells fresh. I can't smell any pee. Natural, safe to inhale and ingest, and biodegradable! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Pickles &- Cinders Look at me! - Look at me!     Purred: Sat Apr 28, '12 10:29am PST  I've definitely heard of this diatomaceaous earth. The only concern I have about it, is that silica, which is in it, can be a issue when inhaled in the lungs. It never goes away....Any other thoughts? Does anyone know of any herbal remedies that can be sprinkled or rubbed on? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Cat Health > Natural Flea Prevention...Ideas?

Pickles &- Cinders Look at me! - Look at me!     Purred: Mon Apr 23, '12 5:20pm PST  Wow, I must have say that my brain-to-typing skills were obsolete for this thread! Usually I make more sense than that I swear....Let me rephrase that. My cats have had fleas in the past, having caught them from human-cat contact because my neighbor's cats had them....This only happened one time many years ago. Fleas are not a typical issue for us, but I'd like to find a natural method that would deter fleas from my home and kitty girls. Any suggestions? Thanks! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Cat Health > Natural Flea Prevention...Ideas?

Pickles &- Cinders Look at me! - Look at me!     Purred: Mon Apr 23, '12 11:31am PST  Hi All, My cats are strictly indoors, but they do travel by car with us many times a year. Neither of my girls have fleas, but I've always used Frontline or Advantage II because my neighbor's cats had fleas and my guys caught them just from human-cat contact. I want to change that, and use a natural method since fleas are not an issue for us. I keep a very clean and tidy house. Any good ideas? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Pickles &- Cinders Look at me! - Look at me!     Purred: Tue Oct 4, '11 3:13pm PST  My girls aren't there yet, but are 12 years old.

I found some thin patches on Pickles flanks from brushing too often. But I will say that it has decreased shedding, and my cats love it! They come when they see the brush, and will let me brush for 5 minutes or so before getting restless. Cinders doesn't shed quite as much, but it has decreased the hairballs I usually find a few days a week. Also, if you're looking for own check Amazon. I found mine for $20, and it was worth every penny! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Behavior & Training > I'm really upset and worried.....and need to vent!

Pickles &- Cinders Look at me! - Look at me!     Purred: Sun Aug 14, '11 8:08am PST  Hi All! I don't know what to do, and not that it's my business, but my neighbor is bringing home a new little kitten today. She also has 2 little dogs that are total terrors. Don't misunderstand because I love dogs, and have one myself, but these dogs, a Shiatzu and Chicuawawa, are bad! They have no boundaries, due to her lack of training. One bites people, and thinks the entire condo complex is his. Both run the household and don't listen to her. They're yippy, know no rules, bite, bare teeth, and get their way all the time. How does she expect them to listen to her about the kitten? I told her it wasn't a good idea, but they were free at work, so she just had to have one. This poor little thing doesn't have a chance! She didn't even want a litter box initially because she wants it outside. I'm like, you're gonna throw it outside when it doesn't know anything? So she finally gave into having one. But I'm sure she hasn't thought about where it's gonna go, and how to keep the dogs away. I just know this cat won't have anywhere to get away from those dogs. It's gonna be bad. I can feel it. If I didn't have my Pickles, I would take that kitten in a heartbeat, but Pickles wouldn't allow another cat in the household Sorry I just had to say something to someone. Thanks for listening, I'm just so worried about the little girl...... my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Behavior & Training > displaced aggression is getting out of hand! HELP!

Pickles &- Cinders Look at me! - Look at me!     Purred: Mon Jul 25, '11 2:20pm PST  To help your cats I would recommend taping paper part way up the window to block their view. I know, because this is why Pickles is on Prozac now. An outdoor cat would visit our floor to ceiling windows at night, causing her to displace her aggression on her sister, which ultimately led to improper urination. As for the stray, i don't know if something like "Liquid Fence" would work? It's an all natural substance you place around an area to deter deer and rabbits. But be warned it smells bad! I know Sargeants makes a cat deterrent spray too. Also, I would try to scare him away from the area with penny cans and such. Maybe once he can't see them, he'll leave. Hope this helps. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Behavior & Training > Behavior Issue -- House Soiling (Pee)... Sorry, long post.

Pickles &- Cinders Look at me! - Look at me!     Purred: Sat Mar 26, '11 6:39am PST  Please let us know how things are going with your 2 bengals! I didn't post any advice, because it pretty much was said and I didn't want to be redundant. I hope all is well and take care! Pickles and Cinders send lots of love. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]

Pickles &- Cinders Look at me! - Look at me!     Purred: Thu Feb 24, '11 7:40am PST  I don't mean to laugh, but you all write such great narratives! My girls love my singing, and music in general. Ever since they were new kittens we played our music loud! They are completely unfazed by everything! On another note though, there is a low-pitched hum that we made on accident many years ago, and they both put their ears back and bolted. It's been the same ever since. I think it's funny how cats have certain things that freak them out. Last weekend the funniest thing happened....we were playing with their new little wand toy, with this furry thing at the end. We were dragging it around the kitchen, and both girls were chasing it. My husband accidentally dropped the stick part, and at the same time, the ice maker let loose the ice into the bin. OMG, they bolted so fast with both of them scrambling like "Tom and Jerry" on the tile floor. We never laughed so hard. Both of their tails were puffed out like I don't even know.....Cats are pure entertainment! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become friends [notify]
