Why Does My Cat Chew on Soft Things and How Can I Stop It?
Hi everyone—I've noticed my cat has started chewing on extra-soft or fragile surfaces like paper towels and lightweight toys, especially when he's bored. Has anyone experienced this? What did you try that actually helped redirect this behavior? Would love any suggestions or product recommendations!

Feliway alternatives that work?
I’ve had okay luck with the feliway diffusers but I’m moving for the first time with my pair of 2 and 3 years old kitties. And my boy cat is very sensitive, so much so that he pees in non litter box places when he sees a cat outside. And I’ve have friends tell me vets have told them not to use the f...

Seeking recommendations for a cat scale
The subject line pretty much says it.
I bought a baby scale that was also promoted for small animals, and had a lot of positive reviews on Amazon. It was worthless. It consistently read at least 30% low. (I compared it to two kitchen scales, and for heavier weights, a bathroom scale.) It didn't eve...

How to proceed with a new kitten?
We should only go ahead with the blanket swap procedure if we're confident that the new kitten is negative for panleuk, as it's highly contagious, correct? Do the vaccines eliminate the virus completely, or is there a possibility that it can 'hide' or 'move' within the cat? If the kitten has been te...
