I have a 14 year old cat with hypertension, hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and diabetes. They are all relatively well managed (she just saw the vet) but she may be getting demented. She wakes us up at night multiple times. She generally wants pets or to cuddle and if...

Hello! I have a 7 year old cat, part Bengal, part something, who has never been that friendly to others. She was not well socialized as a kitten, and once I adopted her I didnt have enough people coming over for her to acclimate to anyone very much. Over time this lead to her literally only...

Hello! So my cat Nyx loves "Da Bird" toys with the feathers on the string. Unfortunately she is a great destroyer of toys and despite my best efforts to monitor play and put the toy away after playtime she manages to destroy it in a week. The replacement feathers are around $6 and buying a new...

So it sounds like I may have to give up Jinx? Unfortunately the house I am moving into is an open floor plan. It is a two bedroom and the second bedroom has been reserved for the cats. The only other closed room is the first bedroom which isn't an option as my boyfriend will refuse to lock the...

I posted a couple weeks ago about attempting to integrate two cats, my established cat Nyx and my new cat former stray Jinx. We are up to the point of supervised short 20 to 30 minute interactions between the two before Nyx gets too confrontational. I separate the two cats when it comes down to...

Thank you so much for the informative post and the links to the articles. I've gone back a step to the smell familiarization. Only time will tell if Nyx will adjust. I've added two more weeks onto the time she has before we move so the cats will have been together for 6 weeks before...

Hello,  I recently rescued a  2 year old spayed female tabby mix whom I named Jinx. She was a stray and after being evaluated by a vet and quarantined for a recommended period to rule out illness I brought her home. I already have an almost 3 year old spayed female bengal/tabby mix named Nyx...

I have been dating a guy for 6 months and unfortunately he hasn't been able to win my cat over. I should start by saying that my cat likes just about no one except me. It is not uncommon for her to hiss and swipe at people who visit. Particularly if they tried to pet her or get too close. Her...

 I believe this is mid meow expressing her annoyance of not enough attention.

I was reminded that my kitten hissed at her siblings and was an "outcast" when she was still with her litter. Does this make her unable to accept other cats?

I have a 6 month old spayed bengal mix kitten named Nyx. I will be starting a new job in January and will be gone for 12 hour days at least 3 days a week. I don't want her to get lonely or lack play. She already has begun running for the door everytime I put my shoes on and she sits up in the...

I agree, she seems to act more active and rambunctious when I take it off.

My 5 month old kitten was spayed on friday while she was in heat. She is now four days post spay. She is wearing an ecollar constantly because she goes for her staples every time I remove it. She has been sitting around, mostly in my lap sleeping. She hasnt really played or run around. She gets...
