    Bad transition for older cat

    My sister went to Lawrence for a year! I myself did not go to Grinnell, but my boyfriend is an alum. Thanks for the advice on kitty. I guess I am just anxious for them to be a happy family, Thora (older cat) has had a troubled past, and does not deal well with change, but I love her with...

    New Kitty V. Old Mama

    My boyfriend and I have been talking about introducing a new cat into our home for a while. I have a 7 year old female cat who went through some trauma at the hands of my father when she was about 4 years old, and has since then been rescued by me and remains a little neurotic. She loves me...
