 clip her nails weekly. I am thinking about adopting an older sedate cat who can relate to each and perhaps be an intermediary. Yes, I know cats live by their own rules and do not conform to our wishes. Just a thought that a third will divide the two.

Adopted a new cat 11/9. 1 yr old female who was spayed just after we got her from the shelter. Existing cat is 7yo and had been living peacefully for 7 yrs as the youngest of my group of 5. Through the sad attrition of old age/cancer he became the ONLY cat in October. New cat (Stella) was...

Most emphatically NO!!! Everybody has their own may of dealing with the loss/euthanasia of a dear pet. My ex absolutely adored all our cats yet he could not face their death and always left the -end- to me. Luckily it does not phase me in the least. Current husband is just the opposite, when his...

UPDATE: "Stella" ( formerly Ella Fitz ) Has been here for three weeks. The -hissy fits- continue however all the doors are now OPEN and they can posture to their hearts delite. No blood. Needless to say Django's litter box problem is not foremost now....the box is in the middle of the lower...

If planned euthanasia is the only option....it is something best done at home by a mobile vet. SHe can be in her favorite place without the stress of a vet visit as she crosses the rainbow bridge.

Yayi, Thank you! Django is on prozac for litter box issues. In looking back at her adoption records Stella had been in a one cat family but is only 1 yr old. Django has been around other cats all his life (7 yrs). No blood (thank heavens),However when cornered in the closet by Stella she got...

7yo  (with litter issues) was left as the only cat in the house a month ago when the other cat was euthanised. Husband grieved and adopted a shelter cat 2 weeks later. 1yo DSH female -in heat- who had lived with kids but was a big ?? about her interaction with other cats. Spayed etc. Home and...

actually he is now peeing ONLY at the door on the lower level, not the one we routinely use. Peeing there, and at the deck door were stopped with the prickly mat. Yuop, the behvior specialist had me put the box by the lower door and gradually (over 4+ months) move it back to where it was. It got...

So many changes around the house even -I'm- feeling a bit off. Django goes to the vet tomorrow for his Rabies and a consult. The new cat arrives Tuesday and I have two very big cat trees coming Wednesday. Luckily husband works at home and I'm off next week. I've started leaving the light on on...

was euthanised on Saturday. Dx of maxillary cancer 6 weeks ago, he was 'well' at the vet visit last Monday, Dr. said how strong and brave a kitty he was. My ex husband was many unpleasant things  however he loved animals. He stopped a US Mail tractor trailer on I95 at 3AM Thanksgiving morning in...

Yes, I just ordered what is formulated the same as Zylkene and expect it to be here shortly

boxes clean, scoop 2xday NEVER use ammonia. same litter type he has been using for 7 years and boxes are in the same place THOUGH I moved one toward the 'pee' door and gradually moved it back as per instructions of behavior therapist.Unscented litter, same size/height pan that he has been using...

wow..Django was hiding tonight, found him behind a door and put him on our bed. He just crawled UNDER the covers with my husband...never done that before, NOT an under-the-covers-kitty Think he is depressed and will get him to the vet ASAP.

Note: Neither cat (now just Django) liked or preferred the Dr. E's. The behaviorist's ideas worked for a time but I'm now back to pee-by-one-door since last Saturday when Schroeder was euthanised. Contemplating a vet visit and anti depressents as husband will be filling the hole in his heart...

Last Saturday. The mobile vet was wonderful. Now? A HUGE hole in my husbands heart. He is home all day working on the computer and misses the furball on his lap. He went to the local animal shelter today and bonded immediately with a 1yo dsh calico girl, as soon as she is spayed  'Ella Fitz'...
