    Cat Afraid of me after Overnight Vet Visit

    Hello - I had to take my 1 year old boy kitty (Artemis) to the emergency room this weekend because he was repeatedly vomiting and was getting dehydrated. They kept him overnight and ran an IV and Barium through his system to see if there was any blockages. We were able to go pick him up the...

    Shiny & Soft Coat tricks

    Hello - I have a 12 month old kitten whose coat tends to be a little coarser than I would normally expect. We feed her Science Diet dry daily - we leave it out for her to munch on - and Fancy Feast wet twice daily. She drinks lots of water and shows no signs of having dry skin. It may be that...

    Kitten Spayed at 9 Weeks

We've made it through the introduction period where Artemis has finally accepted Calypso - they play together, sometimes sleep near each other and once in a while he cleans her. Where we are still running into problems is...

    So I've stepped on my cat about five times now

    You could definitely try a bell, but I've known cats who simply adjust to the bell and are able to walk/run without it jingling - they are still as stealthy as they were without it. The only thing I've actually seen work is having multple tags on their collar that click together. That seems to...

    Kitten introduction going backwards?

    Hello - I'm new to these forums. I've read through the cat intro article here as well as in many other places and yet it seems like we are making backwards progress with our little ones instead of forward progress. We have had Artemis since February 14th, he is now 5 months old. In the three...
