Well, I stayed up quite late with Bailey and woke up a bit early today. I was very paranoid about him going somewhere he shouldn't. He didn't - and used the scary litterbox! (Pet store hasn't opened yet.) I'm going to give him some time today to see if he uses it all day comfortably. I want...

Tonight my girlfriend and I got back to our apartment after a week-long vacation. It's the longest I've taken in years, and the longest our little crew has ever gone without us (2 cats, 2 rabbits). Some of it starts pre-vacation: my girlfriend thinks it would be a good idea to get an automatic...

Well, there's not really a place for a second litter box in our apartment. Perhaps in the future when we move, but they seem ok with it right now. The shoebox NYC apartment just doesn't give us much floor at times :| The bowl is weird. It's like a double-headed bowl. It's one thing, but...

I thought I'd give an update. After some days with a decent amount of separation we were able to spend a full day or two with them. So open doors and free roaming. A lot of cross petting went on and any time I gave Zoe attention I was sure to go and give Bailey some as well. That seemed to...

I can understand, the last time a new person came to my office and sat in my chair I pounced on them and clawed them a bit The first night I wouldn't go near him when he was upset as he'd turn and hiss and growl at either of us. Last night he was a bit better. I was able to pet him a few...

Well, two nights down and there's been little progress. Bailey gets a bit closer to her now, but is still hissing and growling. I want to calm him down, but not encourage that behavior. They've done "room swamps" a couple of times now, but it's rough because her scent is now on everything...

Tonight we've added a second cat to our place. We currently have a boy, Bailey (fixed), and he's about 1 year 2 months, we've had him since he's been 8 weeks old, straight from the shelter. He's pretty friendly with people and very playful (he's a flamepoint siamese and pretty typical, also...

I'll do my best to spread his toes and take a snapshot. He's a freak! hehe. He has some Siamese kinks/traits, so I was hoping this was one of them. His tail has a kink, and he can sometimes look cross-eyed (although I don't know if it's as bad as when he was a small kitten), but I never...

Off-topic (of behavior): Bailey seems to have webbed feet. Some of his toes really seem to be connected really high (I mean, it's obvious when you play around with his paws). Is this common or can I put this on his list of "quirks"? and thanx jgaruba

Thanx! And thanx for the response and suggestions. For Hell's Kitchen, we've practically got a farm in here

Oh! I forgot to mention many have told me this about Siamese cats. Including them being mischevious (which he is!). He waits until you're not looking to do something he knows he shouldn't, because you turn around and he looks at you like "darn, got me", and then runs. He does talk a lot, and...

Hi, I tried reading a bunch of posts here first, but I thought I'd ask for some advice about my situation. I adopted Bailey (male) when he was 8 weeks old from a shelter. He was tiny, and we weren't even sure he was 8 weeks old, although the shelter said 8-9. He was neutered that same week...
