It's a dog and b***h. The dog is lovely but the b***h can be quite snappy and bad tempered.
My initial thought was to call them Ken and Barbie.

The carpet is super short and rough, perfect for a scratch pad for her. When she scratches it to death, it doesn't damage it at all. If I replaced that carpet with a longer, softer, nylon carpet, would that type of carpet get torn to shreds? I don't want to pay a bunch of money for new carpet on my stairs if my cat ends up making it look yucky by scratching it to death.

One of my five cats is about 6 to 7 years old now. She used to have a shiny grey coat and had very fat glands under her belly area. My others cats were healthy too. Apart from a bout of cat flu from which they all recovered thankfully.

Now though, all the cats are healthy still, apart from the grey cat. Her coat is no longer shiny, its dull. Her hair is corse and no longer smooth, she has lost all that fat and appears to be getting thinnner and she appears to be loosing hair towards the back of her body..in clumps.

She is eating and drinking. Pooping normally and does not seem in distress.

I thought maybe it was the result of flea problems which they were all treated for a while back. But none of the others have this problem.

If she gets any worse I will take her to the vet but does anyone know what this could be? Age? Fleas? Liver/Kidney disease? Cat flu even maybe...??
