We've had her for over a year now. When we found her she was very underfed and had a horrific eye infection, she had to have her left eye removed. That was last year and she's fully recovered from the surgery. She's met the other cats and gets along great with one of them, "meh" about the...

Our girl Hera is a stray/abandoned cat that I rescued. Her previous owners abandoned her in a nearby church parking lot in a carrier, she apparently stayed there in the carrier for a few days then somebody came and took the carrier but left her. Somebody posted about her in a FB lost pets group...

I did get Kayla as a kitten, however after I had only had her for a few days I had to go out of town for the weekend. I'm afraid that Tessa (who up until then had been the youngest) must have beaten her up pretty badly, because when I came back Kayla was very skittish and terrified. Things...

I'm hoping maybe somebody will have an idea that I haven't thought of, other than DH's idea of "get rid of the darn cat". I feel like this is one of those puzzles where "A must be next to B and C, but C can not be next to D or the world explodes" problems that I used to hate on the SAT and...

One of my cats, Kayla, is like that. She slinks from the room whenever DH comes in. Actually, she does that to everyone but me. DH calls her psychokitty because she gets scared and slinks away whenever she sees anyone. She's 7 years old and will just now sometimes hang out in a room if there...

Now that I think about it, we got rid of our vertical cat tree when we moved so they don't have as much vertical space. I didn't even associate the two. I'll pick up some more tall cat trees for them. I have one book requested from the library. Any others you can recommend would be great...

Oh wow, that describes her very well! How did you handle your pariah cats in the past? I just want to keep the peace enough so that she can eat, drink and use the litter box.

That makes sense, it seems like isolating the victim kitty would just make it harder for her to become comfortable. I'll set up a sanctuary room for the main aggressor, Squishy, today. Maybe I'll put Julius in there too, and then encourage Tessa to come out and play and maybe get some canned...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for some advice on how best reintroduce one of my cats. The cat, Tessa, is 11 years old and is the victim of territorial aggression from some of my other cats. (We have 5 cats.) We just moved in November and prior to that she had an uneasy truce with the other...
