I have seen numerous cats start peeing when they were jealous of a boyfriend, and especially when a boyfriend was allowed to sleep in a bed that the cats were kicked out of. I have also seen a cat start peeing on a specific person's clothes when it either feared him. (Are you sure he gets along...

It's a wonder the male cat hasn't tried to kill this kitten. That could still happen. The kitten needs to be in a home where he is separated from all other animals except one - preferably a home where another mother cat will accept it and where the humans will adore both mother and kitten to...

Your cat is probably not spilling the water. When cats lick water out of a bowl, they tend to lick from the far side intead of the close side, so their little tongues can more easily catch more water. This often makes the water spash over the edge of the other side of the bowl. Put her...

By the way, don't kill your cat simply because she and your partner have issues. she deserves to live and it's not right for a human to kill a poor helpless animal that can't defend itself simply because he wants an easy way out. Too often people convince themselves that the cat would really...

Get her off of the pills. Those pills often make animals doubly anxious because dizziness and confusion caused by them can disturb them quite a bit. After owning cats for many years I learned that tranquilzing a cat is more likely to upset it than anything else. Your cat and your partner are...

It troubles and aggravates a cat terribly when it's not spayed or neutered. Nature wants it to breed and it becomes extremely disturbed and aggitated when its hormones are trying to act up and it can't breed. It hurts the animal in a way. The poor cat needs to be fixed ASAP because the...

I'm sure it must be quite painful for a few days. Have you ever had an operation? Yikes! the older you get the longer they hurt for and the worse they hurt. Give him some time to adjust and if you see him licking himself a lot or behaving even more weird, rush him to the vet quickly.

One thing about not being the Alpha cat (or even Alpha human) in a household is that the Beta person is never as happy as the Alpha. The dominant animals/people are always happier than the submissive. I think you should introduce her for just a few minutes at a time and pet and play with her...

That's a sad problem and one I've never be able to figure out. I once had a cat that did that too. I never did know whether the cat simply had a bit of "male" behaviour, whether it was jealous of the other cats or insecure, or whether it had incontinence like so many female humans get. A...

Cats can't talk. Often when they start peeing, it's their way of trying to talk to you to tell you that something terrible is bothering them. They might be hurting inside, either physically or mentally. They might be jealous of another cat, dog, or human and feel threatened and lonely...

Poor thing. I think he's probably just so happy that he's comfortable now that he appreciates life all the more, (as well as you) the same as people do after they recover from very serious illnesses. Hope you keep him away from cat foods with high ash. Male cats who don't run free or play a...

I agree with the other person. Separate the cat from the chickens. In her eyes, she's just playing, like a little child. She doesn't understand what she's doing wrong. I have had cats all of my life and have never sprayed one. I would no more do that to an animal than I would to a baby...

Seems she dreads that back yard for whatever reason. Remember, most cats like to sleep about 12 to 18 hours a day in a nice comfortable place. Or maybe she just wants a bit of love and attention from you. It's no fun being a cat when your whole life is just sleeping on a portch and then going...

This is what I do when mine goes astray. 1. Put a smally cat box outside so she can smell her own scent. If it's raining, put it under a high cover like a table. 2. Put her food outside too, -- something she really loves, something with a strong odor. If it's hot and the steam carries...
