Kudos to you for rescuing the cat. I, too, am a dog person who was clueless how to care for my daughters new cat. After a couple of weeks of the cat pooping in my bed 3-4 times a day, I learned that something as simple as moving the box can do wonders. Our cat was apparently freaked out by...

Thanks so much to everyone who offered suggestions and help with dealing with our little darling using my side of the bed as her litter box. If any cats out there are wondering how many times you have to poop on your humans bed to get them to do what you want....8 should do it. I finally moved...

I haven't taken her to my vet yet. She was fully vetted and tested for everything right before I adopted her so I hadn't yet. I guess I need to tomorrow. Maybe we are varying her diet too much with wet, so I will go back to dry only for awhile. She hasn't been shedding too terribly and they...

We put a second box in his bathroom this morning, and both are open. The original one is a rubbermaid container and the second is a hooded one, minus the hood. She pooped this morning in my bed as well. The poops all look normal, not runny or discolored. I haven't taken her to the vet for...

We adopted Tabby about a week and a half ago. She seems to have done fairly well so far. She gets along great with our boxer, and appears to do okay with our 8 and 3 yr olds. The first night she was here, she pooped in the middle of my bed. I chalked it up to stress and new place and went...

Great thought strange_wings, I put the stick away where she couldn't find it last night. Finally got the cat house finished and moved in the den. She prefers her perch since she can watch the birds, but she is curious about it. We have a ramp from the bottom to the top and a hole cut out in...

Will definitely put up pics when the castle is done. Tabby has not attacked the dog in two nights, she is loving her evening game time. She has started a new behavior that, although I feel is hysterical and cute, hubby might not be that excited. He plays the bird game with her, she plays...

Playtime last night helped. We are definitely learning that cats are polar opposites of dogs. Play for Roscoe can be an hour of fetch a stick. But Tabby needs lots of variety. We have built her a small cat tree while we are working on the bigger one. We are converting an old freestanding...

Great suggestion. Husband got out the bird on a string and ran her crazy for about 45 min. She loved it and actually slept better last night. Didn't spend half the night meowing and climbing all over the bed. And let the dog go to bed without attacking him. We are going to start making it...

We have a 6mo old spayed female Tabby that we adopted last week. We had previously adopted Muffin, who turned out to be terrified of dogs. We unfortunately had to give her back to the rescue as the situation seemed far too stressful for her. But, we were able to find Tabby, who was fostered...

The rescue group had her listed as about 1 yr old. I have no idea how accurate that is. I must admit I am enjoying her more than I thought I would.

Thanks for the welcome! Her name is Muffin and she is already seeming to settle in a little more each day.

Hi everyone. Wanted to intro myself. Husband and I were lifelong dog people, whose two daughters begged for months for a cat until they wore us down and we adopted a beautiful black/white girl from a rescue group last week. She is still getting used to us and our "brood", which consists of the...

She is Muffin and he is Roscoe. She was in a shelter for 5 mos before being rescued and then was in a foster home for 2 before we got her. So she has an unknown hx but has done really well with our two daughters who are 8 and 3. Love the idea of the feliway plug, I will definitely get one of...

Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum and we have an 8yr old boxer male that we have owned for 7 yrs. A week ago, we adopted a cat from a local cat rescue. We have never owned a cat so I did a ton of reading before we got her. We have my bedroom and bathroom completely blocked off with baby...
