I have four cats that are fed together (five total, but a long story LOL).  The four eat dry Iams.  The four year old (Beef) is a chubby 10lbs.  Nathan & Creamy (2 years old) are very overweight at around 16lbs.  The baby (Rusty), is around 7lbs, but still growing at 7 months.  In the past few...

I got a second kitten when my resident cat was nine years old.  They got along wonderfully until the kitten was about 1 1/2 years old.  I tried separating them after fights a couple of times, then re-introducing (once separated for about six months due to continued fighting).  Eventually we gave...

I have four cats. All three girls will fetch (or did as kittens), but the boy has shown now interest.

It means he/she loves you. I have a boy that does this too, and I love it.

I put one more litter box down (all I had), and nothing. Started scooping twice a day, and presto! No more poo on the floor. Apparently three boxes + twice a day scoopings = six litter boxes!

I just got this one from PetCo, and my cats LOVE it. Replaced the toys immediately, as they chewed through the cheap elastic. Left the ramps on for the ferret

Definitely get him checked out by a vet. Health problems (like adrenal tumors) can cause sexual behavior in neutered animals.

I have four cats: 12 year old female, 3 year old female, 15 month old male & 10 month old female. All are spayed/neutered, and all are indoor. I have two litter boxes. I recently went on vacation for two weeks. I left a different brand of clumping litter for changes while I was gone as the...

I haven't tried Feliway yet - I am leery of products like this. Has anyone used it with success? The kitties are almost due for vaccines, so I will have the Chicken checked out thoroughly. Momma kitty is owned and loved by small children, so I could not in good conscience pack her up and be...

I have two cats, 11 year old Chicken and 2 year old Beef, both spayed females. We got Beef as a four week old kitten, much too young to be away from mom, but we were told she and siblings were dumped on the side of the road and were on their way to the pound (turned out not to be true). After...

Don't do it!! I was in the same situation, and rescued a month old kitten a little over a year ago. They became friends after some adjustment, but have been fighting for the last week. Now the older cat is crying and super obsessed with me just like before, but I've also got the younger...

My 1 year old cat has recently started fighting with my older cat. They got along well until last week. The older cat will just be sitting there, and young kitty gets a bushy tail and charges. I've read a lot stating that the bushy tail signifies fear, but she always seems to be the...

My cat does this (we call it a snort) when she's about to attack her own tail.

You could try clicker training. Get yourself a clicker, click the kitten when it eats from its own bowl, then give a special treat. May not help, but it's worth a shot, and if you condition to the clicker it'll make training easier in the future. I just fed kitten food to everyone for a year...

Ferrets are in a cage unless supervised (not allowed to terrorize older kitty). I had another ferret for five years, so older kitty wasn't too freaked by them. She's also lived with other cats and dogs with no problems. We moved to a new house a year and a half ago, had been living with other...
