    Resident Cat jealous and pouting over new kitty

    My resident cat, Mongo, who's 2, won't stop pouting about the new kitty in the house. Lazer is 5 mos. and he's been with us for 2.5 weeks now. Mongo, who is usually a total momma's boy and extremely loving, has been giving me the silent treatment and pouting, and it seems to be getting better...

    Resident Cat and Newby getting along great, when can they meet?

    Sorry for the delay. Yes, I've introduced them and it's been going alright. Mongo is definitely trying to establish dominance, but the kitten just seems unfazed and ready to explore. I think Mongo feels a bit put out, but except for a few minor skirmishes, the introduction has gone ok. One weird...

    Resident Cat and Newby getting along great, when can they meet?

    We got our new cat, Lazer, last night and he has settled in quite well, eatting, using the litter box, playing, etc. Our resident cat, Mongo, seems to be just fine too, he meows to him through the door (we have seperated Lazer into our extra bedroom for the time being), pawing at each other...

    Here's a behavior prob you don't hear about every day...

    My cat was also doing this for a while, I've read that it's because a. they are bored - which kind of made sense, because when he made friends with the cat that wanders our breezeway, he stopped and also because b. they are seeking affection. That one I don't buy, some humans don't even equate...

    Double tested for FIV when negative?

    I have a 2 year-old cat at home now. I had never heard about getting a cat retested and my current guy was tested at 8 week and never tested again - he was negative. I am going to get this cat's complete story about if he was born in a home/has he ever been outside before testing him again (he...

    Double tested for FIV when negative?

    I'm adopting a cat from a rescue who advises to retest my 4 month old kitty for FIV even though his first test came back negative. The rescue people didn't really stress it nor did they know much about it. I read online that it isn't necessary to retest if the initial test was negative - is this...

    New cat - get him neutered first?

    Hello! I am getting a companion for my male cat, Mongo. Mongo is 2 and has been neutered since 6 months with absolutely no sign of knowing that he's a male . The new guy comes in a couple of weeks and will be 5 months - should I let him get used to the new home and let Mongo get used to him, or...

    Cat suddenly scared of a room?

    Kittylove1 - actually I'd be interested to hear about the pet communicator, I've never heard of that before. It's nice to hear my poor kitty isn't alone - I couldn't find anything on this subject online anywhere, and I didn't want to put this normally calm, happy cat on psychotropic drugs.

    Cat suddenly scared of a room?

    We left our cat, Mongo, for the weekend and when we came back we found that he had knocked over both a lamp and one of his cat trees. We joked that he had thrown a little kitty party for his birthday, which had been that Friday. But, later that night we noticed that he was scared of weird...
