Hi GoldenKitty45! Thanks for writing... Leo has a lot of toys, and I think we're giving her enough interactive time. I work from home a lot, so she's rarely alone in the house. I take breaks throughout the day and engage her in active play, and DH does the same when he gets home from work...

Hi Emmylou- Thanks for your advice! I don't know if you saw it or not, but earlier in the thread I explained what we're feeding her. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since we brought her home from the shelter. She was a shelter cat for 3 months, during which time she was fed HSD Adult cat. The...

Well, I might have suspected that, too, but she was given some anti-tapeworm meds a week ago when I had her at the vet. This was more as a prophylactic, since the vet saw no signs of an infestation, but thought it would be wise since she had been in a shelter and Leo's Revolution doesn't...

Yes! She sits right in front of our bedroom door and cries. She does this on and off all night. DH is building her a deluxe kitty condo (he loves carpentry) and right now she has 24 hour access to her carrier, which is in a dark place and has her blanket inside. And yes, she's spayed. She...

Thank you all so much for the input. You asked some questions... She's 2 years old, and moderately active. DH and I have a good hard play session with her for about 30 minutes twice a day and she amuses herself by running around a bit on her own. Otherwise, she does the normal cat thing -...

Our cat Leo has been with us for about a week and a half, and the last few days, she has been steadily escalating her requests to be fed. She will follow you around, meowing, and if you show interest in her, she will lead you to her food bowl and meow more and more loudly. She's been waking us...

Glad to help, Angi!!! And thanks again mrblanche for posting that video. What a fascinating insight into instinctive cat behaviors.

I'm not sure what it says about me that this is the first non-cat thread I've decided to reply to! I like dark beers, especially German ones (says this gal who's very proud of her German ancestry). There's a great biergarten near us that sells Dinkelacker Dark, and I love to go get one every...

LOL! Wonderful! Thanks for the reassurance that my cat isn't nuts! She's getting better with it... will give the gal as much time as she needs.

Hi all... I searched the threads on harness training, but couldn't find another cat who had been behaving in the way ours is, so here's the situation... Hubby and I are trying to harness-train Leo, our 2yo Aby mix, so that we can take her outside for supervised play; we got her from the...

Welcome, MagDirb! I'm new here as well. Nice to see so many beautiful cats and their beautiful people!

Thank you all very much for making me feel so welcome!!! We're on day 4 as a family, and smooth sailing so far. She's pure bliss. I'm sure that when those first inevitable bumps in the road arrive, I'll be coming to you for help. In the meantime, I'll catch up on my reading (plenty here to...

Sorry to reply to my own post (duh), but I forgot to attach a pic of my gal... here's Cleopatra (Leo for short since hubby says Cleo has been done!)...

Hi all... I have been spending the last couple of days reading as much as I can from the forums, and I can already say that you all have been an immense help. This past Saturday, I became a cat mommy for the first time. My husband had cats growing up, but this my first feline. I have a...
