So far Jimmy has good and bad days. He really does get a bee in his bonnet and goes after her, nothing distracts him. We did have them sleeping next to each other on the sofa last night. So that's good.

Well so far, we have had no punch ups. We have had lovely grooming time together, They still haven't groomed each other yet. But grooming them selves on the sofa together is a good thing! I have had so far, only had to put Jimmy in the 'sin bin' three times today. To be honest, he wasn't being...

I give them treats when they are together, so they associate each other with pleasurable things. Including playtime. At one point today they were both on the sofa eating treats and receiving my praise. They say next to each other grooming themselves. Jimmy made an attempt to groom her but she...

Well so far my time out technique is working. I clearly wasn't doing it right previously. When he makes any attempt to stalk/pounce her I grab him, and calmly take him to a boring bathroom and leave him there. I wait till he has stopped meowing and scratching the door and until he is calm. I...

Well so far that technique has ended in a disaster. Both cats are out roaming free. Duchess basically forced herself into the room whilst I was trying to get out,  I tried moving one cat another one follows. It's so frustrating. So I will have to try again during the weekend when my partner is...

I really need to rant and any encouragement and advise is appreciated. Currently I have Jimmy in isolation. We are reintroducing the cats, like they have never known each other. It's difficult because he is meowing and scratching at the door. (It breaks my heart!) When we first adopted them in...

:( I don't think you read my post properly. *sigh* I will keep monitoring the situation and try more play time with my boisterous cat.

The cats already knew each other. I adopted them both on the same day. Maybe I didn't make that clear? They both came from the same household and they were both in the same kennel area. I originally inquired after the ginger cat, but the worker at the shelter said that they both come together...

Hey all, About a month ago, I adopted a cat from an animal shelter. He is a ginger Tom 7 years. I originally only wanted one cat, but the cat that I wanted came with another. A gorgeous 6 year old mainecoon girl. Of course I wasn't going to separate friends! They both came from the same...

Wow! Really hope he recovers! Showing signs of interest in you and food is a positive thing!

Yes my wood stove is set inside an old fireplace. I live in an Edwardian Dutch home, so many old features. We have two fireplaces, one is blocked up from the previous owner. Now I have a cat bed in it! Lol

Oh I know how it feels! My Maine coon girl has some of the most noxious farts ever! (The kind you run and open a window and pray for it to go away) Both of my cats are rescues and have been with us for 2 weeks now. Both of them had smelly horrid poo, diarrhea and soft stinky stools. But my main...

I am quite lucky with my two rescue cats. Duchess is a very good girl and only eat her food, she has no interest whatsoever in what I am cooking or eating. Jimmy, he is very interested, but I have never given him our food. He used to jump up on the counter and pester me for his own food and mine...

Going to have to see this one myself! But according to you and the experts, I can safely predict that Jimmu will be a lefty and Duchess a righty!

That is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard! Luckily for your cat, your morals are not the same as his. He clearly isn't an animal lover.
