    RC keeps pinning NC down

    Olivia has a good play schedule, feather on a rod which we play with with her, and she carries around. As well as laser pen and ball, regularly throughout the day. Willow is less interested in playing, she will chase the laser pen sometimes, but other times not interested. Willow is just...

    Hello

    :hellocomputer: I'm so pleased to have found this site. We lost Tala, our 15 year old Husky x German Shepherd in August last year. We then decided to get a cat, we rehomed Lando (1 year old RagdollxBengal) in October, then we lost Lando in January after a tail pull injury, he was like a dog...

    New cat and resident cat co-living question

    Thank you!! I think I was expecting some miracles..... Olivia is just like that enthusiastic friend saying 'I just want to be with you Willow' and Willow is like 'get lost'. Do you think I should keep them separated still some of the time, or just let them get on with it? I would have to...

    New cat and resident cat co-living question

    Hi, We rescued a 1 year old female cat 2 months ago (Willow), then 5 weeks ago rescued another 1 year old female cat (Olivia) So whilst I call Willow RC, its only by a few weeks. Olivia was VERY scared, and hid literally for 2 weeks in shelves in the safe room, she is much happier now, will...

    What to do....

    Hi, I need some help reading what to do with the two cats introduction. I put a screen up on one of the doorways, new cat Olivia is very excited, tail quivvering and meowing nicely, not angrily, but quite loud LOL. Resident cat Willow (who is actually only a resident for two months.... went...

    What to do....

    She's actually much better with me, she will come over onto the sofa for strokes, and wander around, and will play chase. I opened the door for half an hour earlier to the hallway (with the resident cat closed off) and she wasn't very happy about the door being open, she had eyes on it all the...

    What to do....

    Well... the gabapentin doesnt agree with her, she's been randomly vomiting since starting it on Saturday, so back to the drawing board.... Does anyone have any suggestions to help Olivia with her fear without the use of drugs?

    What to do....

    Isn’t it just. I think I’m in shock from the difference. Don’t get me wrong she hides quite often, and isn’t that keen on my husband, but she’s got much better with me and our daughter. So the vet incident was really surprising! And set me back with my thought process of the chain for future...

    What to do....

    VAMama - wow! Thats dedication there, and look at me worrying! See current Olivia position attached, literally chilled and I'm sat next to her. I feel better about the situation after having your support. So thank you. I look for those Composure treats, I dont think I can get them in the UK...

    What to do....

    Thank you :) We have only had her for 3 weeks, I totally understand its all really really new. I think the vet coming here and how she reacted freaked me out a bit, I have always had cats and have never had a situation like that, she was wild, and to be honest its not a behaviour I have...

    What to do....

    Thank you for your advice, I really appreciate it. I know we have uprooted her from her sister and other cats, and I also know she needs to learn to trust that we dont want to kill her. I dont really know what the deal was in her last house, she seemed to be in the kitchen on top of a tall...

    What to do....

    Hi, I'm new here, and its a long story, but I will try to shorten it. We had a male cat (Lando) from Oct-Jan, he sadly had a serious tail pull injury some how when out, and after 5 days in hospital, tail amputation, and was double incontinent post injury, we had to make the very hard decision to...
