The Shebas are pate and no she doesn’t come back and eat the chunks later. I’ve tried mixing in a little water, warming them up in microwave, still nothing. I will try the shreds, thx for advice.

Strange problem, my 8-yr-old only eats about half of whatever wet food I put out, and I’ve tried many different kinds. I’m not overfeeding, usually it’s only a 2-oz Sheba or something similar... but she’ll basically just suck all the juices out of the food, leaving a dried blob behind. Is there...

would like to put up some wall shelves for cats to climb on, they can't reach windows that are up high. unfortunately, I have zero mechanical ability. does anyone know of a solution, something that comes pretty much already built that I can just mount by drilling a couple holes?

I'll put out 2 bowls of canned and sometimes see 1 cat eat both bowls. short of standing there to police it, how can I get them to share food equally? anyone have any tips?

hello- adopted a 2nd cat about 6 wks ago, did the usual introduction things (isolated new cat, switched scents by towels, opened door a crack to let them see each other, etc) then yesterday tried the baby gate in the doorway and new cat ran under the bed. now she runs and hides every time the...

my cat does the same thing

found mine asleep on top of the cable box the other day. guess she was cold.

smell is big with cats. maybe she wears a lot of perfume and/or makeup that the cat doesn't like?

I've done that... put a treat at the far end of the pillow case, works great in a pinch.

true but I do miss having something to bribe her with, or reward her with after she does something good.

my cat used to inhale any treat I gave her. I'd even leave some hidden around the house and within a few hours, she'd found them all. last week or so, she doesn't eat any treats, hard or soft. took her to the vet, he didn't see anything wrong. any ideas?

all good advice here. the key is to be quick and confident. the towel or blanket works great. pick em up and drop em in, one quick motion, before they know what hit em. the longer you agonize over it, or chase them around, the harder it'll be.

sounds to me like your 1st cat needs reassurance that all your love isn't going to the newcomer. in fact, some things I've read say that your resident cat needs more attention than ever after a new cat enters the house.

I found one I like but it's a 4-yr old male that's bigger than my female... and the vet recommends getting one a little younger and smaller to (hopefully) avoid dominance/territorial issues. anyone agree or disagree?

I have a drinkwell too and freshen it with ice cubes once a day... cat loves it and drinks plenty of water.
