Thanks, Ms. Freya! Ghost has a thick, soft fleece in his 'safe house' . I have a mat and cushion I also sit on when I spend time with him, but he has little interest in marking them. I understand he's just anxious. He can become suddenly over-stimulated when being petted, so I have to watch his...

I'm a long-term cat lover who has had many fur babies, but I've got a situation that's new to me. We are almost four months into socializing a mostly-feral Siamese Tom, and have made great progress from the wild boy we initially caught. In just the past few weeks he's finally begun to let us...
