Thank you for the advice! I just want to make sure she is getting everything she needs nutritionally. And to follow up, yes the younger one - she has been checked for worms and all clear! (I try to check in the box as well every so often just in case). She doesn’t have a pouch yet, she’s just...

Hi all! so my kitten Pistachio (almost 9 months) is currently eating kitten food (wellness core pate), while her older sibling Gouda (10.5y) eats the wellness shreds. just curious on thoughts and experiences on switching older kittens to adult food? Pistachio LOVES Gouda’s food so much more...

oh yeah. This is great for keeping pistachios attention 😂 GREAT suggestion. I never thought we’d be able to have playtime with Gouda in one room without Pistachio trying to interrupt. Or let Gouda go through her morning and evening “rituals” without kitten intrusions!

Gouda is in her favorite drawer and Pistachio is sunbathing on the warm radiator below her 🥰

I have some new treat puzzles on the way, the dry food is a great suggestion. Gouda doesn't love dry treats, but looooves dry food so thats a great solution for her (and luckily Pistachio is motivated by any food or treat haha) We spent yesterday focusing a lot on giving Gouda kitten-free time...

when you say give dry food during movement do you mean feed after play? That’s the schedule we currently have them both on and it is very helpful for energy management but I’d be interested in trying other strategies as well! We use Feliway! We used the standard one along with aromatherapy...

this all makes sense! We usually give her an hour or so of downtime in the morning and in the evening since those are her high anxiety times of the day, but we could probably do it a little more when Pistachio is going full kitten mode. Gouda is a high anxiety cat due to being surrendered a few...

Hi all! we are on week 2.5 of having the doors open in our apartment between our older cat(Gouda, 10F) and our new kitten (Pistachio, ~7mo F) we spent 5-6 weeks doing the Jackson galaxy recommended intro and took down pet gates and opened doors generally after they were eating without barriers...

Its the second unfortunately! Gouda is pretty high anxiety in the morning (I'm the second home she's had. She's been that way since I adopted her) - so since Pistachio started rushing towards her food she has been hesitant to eat near her in the morning. Evening feedings are absolutely fine, but...

So things have been progressing fabulously with introducing Gouda (10F) and Pistachio (6 mo.F) since we got Pistachio 1.5 months ago. We are keeping the doors open in our apartment most of the time, the cats have slept on the bed together during the day, and while they aren't cuddling and we...

Don’t mind my legs! Big moment for these two black babies! Just two weeks ago I was posting on here feeling hopeless about introducing them and now I have one on either side 🥰

Post meal time mingling and it seems to be going well! No hissing, some watchful eyes at first but now Gouda isn’t even watching her while Pistchio is literally behind her. I think we are finally getting to a good spot :)

We’ve made great strides recently with getting a playpen and incorporating more play by the pet gates. This started with some hissing, growling and swatting, but our older cat Gouda (the black blob) is now just kind of staring at Pistachio (in the tent sleeping) and huffing here and there. i...

Husband and I haven’t been home much at the same time this past weekend so we’ve been letting them see each other on the otherside of two pet gates stacked on top of each other and it’s been going pretty well since the kitten can’t directly tackle our older cat! Gouda (10F) has been coming up...

This is great advice! We were focused on distracting younger cat with a wand toy she likes, but all of her attention was on our older cat. We didn't have anyone with the older cat though so it was harder to get in eye line of either cat when we were behind both of them to start with. We're...
