No other advise?

Thanks for the advice, I have never introduced cats, only dogs, which is usually pretty easy. I will give it lots of time and try your suggestions. Felix is an adoption, but not from a rescue. His owner has to get rid of him b/c her dogs are driving him crazy and I guess she picked the dogs...

We got our cat about a year ago from a local shelter, he was an adult when we got him, and he is now 4 years old. When we got him, I really wanted to get a buddy for him, but at the time we were in a one bedroom apt and there wasn't enough room for two. Now we have a townhouse and room for...

I don't know whether I am coming or going with this stuff anymore. Now I am starting to wonder whether it was really an accident that Petsmart had no Blue Spa foods on the shelves last week... it's just wierd that right after that there was the recall? I have switched Carl to EVO wet (I did...

Apparently the wet food was sold out the day they put up the recall papers on the aisles. They had purposefully removed all the recalled foods, and when the associate saw the open space, he/she assumed it was a recall. He had no record of anything other than the kitten dry recall. They had...

I have just sent my local Petsmart an email with reference to the Blue Buffalo letter I found online last night. According to that letter, only the kitten DRY food was recalled, though Petsmart had removed all the wet food except the kitten wet and had also removed the kitten dry, leaving...

I went to PetsMart today to get Carl's Blue Buffalo Spa Select wet food, which I switched him to b/c it has no wheat gluten in it...and there was a sign on the aisle that it had been voluntarily recalled!?!?! I have gone to the Blue Buffalo website, as well as the recall websites, and I...

Carl has become a night kitty. I think he got his time clock back to instinctive "cat time" while we were out of town over Christmas, and then we had our neighbor's cat howling outside our door for a week (that was fixed, thankfully I convinced the owner to keep the loud kitty inside). So we...

Jack and I at my college graduation, before we got married.

We moved here b/c I was offered a good job. DH also worked in the same town part time so we already knew the area. We stay b/c we are 5 minutes from the beach, it's quite, safe, small-ish beach town but close to Ft. Lauderdale for when we want to go out somewhere crowded. It's a great place...

That's the hard part, I would take him in a hearbeat if we had space to safely introduce another cat. I don't know if this cat is even fixed (or really if it's even a boy), so I am not going to just let it in the apartment with Carl! If he is still in the apartment area tonight I am going to...

The girls that work at the office are typically college aged girls, and they are usually really easy to talk to and work with, so I will play it by ear. I am not going to call, but I will go by the office at lunch. That is my biggest fear, that the owners will dump the cat somewhere or...

I'm not really sure what to do. Since Thanksgiving, I have noticed a very cute, sweet, loud kitty is living outside of our apartment. He obviously is owned by a neighbor, has a collar (no name or phone number), looks perfectly healthy and sweet, and seems to only be outside during the...

Well I switched Carl to Tidy Cat Blend Small Spaces 2 weeks ago (mixing it with Swheat Scoop about 50-50) and have liked the results so far. The Tidy Cats clumps SO much better than just the SS, and the odor has gone down a whole lot. When we are home, I clean the box finatically (2-3 times...

First off, congrats on the kitty! My DH and I adopted a 3 yr old cat in September, and I was a first time cat owner/dog lover so I kind of know where ya'll are coming from! On the sleeping under the bed and couch thing, Carl did this all the time when we got him, and he was very uncomfortable...
