Sounds like you have it under control and congrats on your growing family, New Cat Person!!! I would just add that a lot of what you are seeing with your boy, Benjamin, is simply him being a kitten. At that age, everything is a new adventure and life is one big experiment in how things work...

Good GRIEF! You poor thing! And your poor babies! I am so sorry about the fire and trauma for all of you. As for Ollie and clumping litter, I wouldn't push it. The granularity of conventional litter, while it may seem soft, can actually act like a fine emery board on new, pink, healing skin...

In my experience, this is a Tincture of Time situation. As Autumn becomes more and more adjusted to the routine of your household, she will gradually begin to relax and distance herself from many of the behaviours she learned from her previous household. That's not to say they will all...

My little boy kitty, Jams, has been doing that since he was a baby. He particularly enjoys the fleece side of the throw on my bed. He is neutered and has been since he was about 4 months old (rescue org. does it before they allow adoptions). We call it "binking". He likes to suck on his binky...

Maybe others can chime in here, but it doesn't sound normal to me if kitty was fine one day and jumping at shadows the next. Is there anything in the room that could have frightened him? Something falling or perhaps one of your other pets growling outside the door? I would start here with much...

I agree with JCat. Your kitty could be in heat. Spaying and shots are priorities anyway. Another possibility is that your kitty is having a hard time adjusting to confined apartment life. It sounds like this kitty, born to the great outdoors and having always had plenty of fresh air and roaming...

Shadow, Day 3 and Peach is still very much the angry kitten. She makes seeming overtures to me and the other cats, but still with much hissing and growling. I was boning a chicken carcass for soup yesterday and she ate quite a lot of that from my fingers (nailed me several times in the...

Thanks for the reply, Shadows. Sweet, she's not! Haha! Right now she's behaving like a little demon. I am less concerned about them all getting along at this point. My older cats can take care of themselves pretty well. They've been pretty nice to her so far and avoiding her when they reach...

Neighbor came to say she is moving and cannot take her 3 month old kitten. My first instinct, given my age and two mature cats, was to say no, but... knowing this neighbor, I suspected that the kitten would end up in the pound or worse, so.. Day 1 was mainly about Peach (new baby) hiding under...

Peach, as she snarls and lunges at my face. !!!!

Hurray for you! And more than welcome on the Roomba review.

Cat Nap, I purchased the Roomba 650, which is specifically for pet owners. It does a pretty good job, but should be cleaned and the bin emptied after each session. It is AMAZING how much stuff, particularly hair, gets deposited in the carpets in one day. The first time I used it, I had just...

Back in the day, I used to be able to tear through the entire house in a Saturday. That was pre-arthritis and I've always been a wee on the lazy side, so I have always been a "defensive" house manager. That is to say, every time I was tempted to leave a pile of stuff or schmutz somewhere, my...
