To me it sounds as if your dog has accepted that the cat is higher in the pack structure then she is. Your dog does worry me however. She sounds to be VERY dog aggressive and you need to get a trainer who has experience working with dominant DA dogs ASAP. Right now she is a liability and you do...

Taffy, in the back, still wants me to believe that she hates having Monkey in the house.

It amazes me just how Siamese she is turning out to be. Her mother and both sisters are orange tabbys. She however is developing not only the Siamese looks but also the personality and voice.

She looks almost exactly like my girl Skreea. I just consider her a domestic longhair.

When I lived in an apartment similar to what you are describing I fed my cats in the kitchen. You just need to train them that jumping on to the table/counters is not allowed.

Thanks. I have given chicken feet to my dogs as a joint preserver but never considered giving it to the cats. Looks like I need to find a new supplier. How many would I give a day for a 10 lbs cat?

My 4 year old cat has just been diagnosed with arthritis. I would like to be able to treat her without having to it her on pharmaceuticals if at all possible. One possible problem is that she only eats cat food either wet or dry, no treats cat, dog or human. Do you have any holistic treatment...

I'll agree that she is young for what some people prefer but I know she is better off here than she would be at her birth home. When I got her I noticed that her ears were dirty and after a few days of trying to clean them unsuccessfully I took her into the vet where she turned out to have a...

It's actually just a trick of the light in the photo. She doesn't have that orange shading in person.

I've had a seal point Siamese cross who loved to scream at me. I always said that I would never have another. Never say never, I guess.

So sorry for your loss.

She is definitely a character. She is developing the Siamese personality which to my dismay includes the scream and desire to talk to everyone.

A couple of new pics of Monkey.

I really dislike the scream of the Siamese cat. I was told that my new kitten was grey and white. When I picked her up I discovered that she is a blue point Siamese cross and is discovering her scream as she gets older. This makes the second Siamese cross that I've owned, previous was a seal...
