    sudden aggression while out on leash

    Some more narrative as to what happened in the run up to the attack would be helpful. Other than that, it has to be said that leashes might have a downside if the cat is spooked by something. If the cat cannot scarper away from something it perceives as a threat because of the leash, its...

    People scaring my cat

    "My house, my rules. Leave the cat alone or Go away." is probably polite enough. Honestly, your problem is not how your father treats your cat, it is how little respect he has for you and what is yours. It isn't about the cat.

    Angry after the butt sniff

    My hunch is that she is not angry. I suspect she wants to sniff out of curiosity but does not want to be sniffed and is therefore growling or hissing preemptively to discourage the other cat.

    Cat Blocking Car

    Ah, it becomes clear. During Master's week, RA noticed AWM missing and was trying to make sure that AWM stayed with the gang.

    At Wits End

    Interesting video. After they both fall to the floor, I would expect the struggle to continue if it were anything serious.

    At Wits End

    Bear with me on this. My cat is usually very good with me, but just once in a while, he will grab my hand with his paws, bring his teeth down to the skin and start rabbit kicking. He did this one day while I was playing with him outside and I hissed at him, at which he jumped up and ran about...

    CATS DO GET STUCK IN OUTDOOR TREES

    I would have no problem climbing a tree for a cat, but for me, not looking STUPID is sufficient reason not to walk a cat on a leash.

    Is three cats too many? Is my first cat happier alone?

    To me it looks like you think you have just 1 problem, that Yuri is doing No1 and No2 in the wrong places because she does not like the other cats. But to me, they are 2 separate issues, not directly related by cause and effect Yuri does not like the other catsYuri is doing No1 and No2 in the...

    my cat won't go to the vet

    Good thought. Around here, it seems that our vet offers his surplus of carriers  to shelters as he accumulates them from cats making their final journey

    Cat Blocking Car

    OK, that didn't work. This is beyond general attention seeking It looks to me as if Ra is developing a serious fixation with AWM. Perhaps because RB has 6 cats, Ra has decided that RB is a resource in limited supply and has decided to try his luck with having AWM as a human all to himself? Is...

    Cat Blocking Car

    AWM should stroke him once or twice while he is on the car, pick him up and put him on the ground, then stroke him again a couple of times. Hopefully, he will be satisfied with a little bit of attention and leave it until next time.

    Cat Flap Training

    I would not class it as a design flaw - it does allow any intruder to make an escape. So if a stranger has tailgated in hot pursuit of your cat, you wouldn't want it to be confined with your cat, you would want it to be able to escape. There is however a 'dual scan' model of the catflap, which...

    Cat Flap Training

    There is your answer. If it is this one: https://www.sureflap.com/en-gb/pet-doors/microchip-cat-flap - it scans on entry. If there are no batteries, it will not scan and will not release for entry.

    Cat is mad because he can't go outside

    Ah, OK, it looks like he has decided on a certain lifestyle. In which case your options are either to keep him in permanantly or to let him have his freedom and try to encourage him to spend time with you.

    Peeing all over house after escaping for 3 weeks

    The rule is simple, you have one less cat than the number of litter boxes you can tolerate. Do you meet this criterion?
