Yeah, I just watched her, for the first time, flip the mat over the food bowl and saunter away while her brother looked very confused by this. Might go back to removing their evening food after the two hour mark and see if that makes her feel better (morning dry food gets left out because I...

This helps a lot, thank you <3 1. No, she's definitely not hissing. They sort of casually watch when the ferals show up but outside of that are more interested in why are there cats outside and can mommy please let us outside too. So that's a good sign. 2. No, I guess it doesn't. Being WFH...

*rubs face* Okay, so Artemis and her brother, Traveler, are just over 1 years old, I've had them since they were three months. They've rarely had food issues outside of slowly deciding they aren't fans of wet food and I better not change their dry food either. So in the past month, I TNRed a...

I'm writing this as I listen to one of my cats insistently scratch around both the her dry food bowl and the dish of new wet food I left out. So as kittens, I started Artemis and Traveler on the Blue Buffalo Carnivora Prairie brand (I gave them some coastal blend today and both are displeased...

As someone who is awful at math, that's super helpful! Thank you! After twenty minutes of trying to figure out how to fit it, I opted for not screwing anything in the walls or banister today and stuck the gate in the door. They were far more enchanted playing with one another on either side of...

Good news is that right now, the most they can jump is about 6". Traveler hasn't shown much inclination on climbing things he shouldn't like his sister, quite content with the scratching post and the cardboard cat tree (a mama's boy indeed ;)) Not to say his behavior won't change in time, but...

Fantastic suggestions, thank you! I think Artmeis is part monkey (Traveler hasn't tried to climb) because as long as she has a horizontal surface, she's climbing. So either I'd have to do it to the ceiling (which will be hard with the basement stairs especially but after I clean up the basement...

So I adopted two sweeties from the animal protective leave on halloween and they're 3mos today! So far they've been confined to the back bedroom, as we're finishing painting around the house and there's some dangerous things for the tiny ones to get into. I originally had a 48" tall black dog...

I'm leaning towards setting up something in my office upstairs. I can block off the computer area/cover the cables for them and I'll spent more time in there when I get home than if I had them downstairs. But yeah, the stairs are right above the basement stairs. Lot more confident when they're...

Yes, this is why I was posting about it. Do you have any suggestions? Should they be strictly downstairs cats until they're a year old?

Thanks so much! I had read this already, hence the specific questions and advice I was seeking to take some actionable steps.

No, I don't know how old they'd be, but I'd be looking around 8-12 weeks old I suppose. I don't have a room on the first floor, but like I said, I'd be really concerned about the open stairs and them accidentally falling through.

See I was surprised by the pen too, but I thought that would be excellent while they're still small. I will probably move forward with that while I'm at work during the day (and I only live twenty minutes away, so they'd be kenneled from 6:30am to 4:30 pm. If I absolutely needed to, I suppose I...

So I've recently moved in to my new home and once everything is cleaned up and settled, I was going to be adopting a pair of kittens. I have two older boys who will be staying with my family since that's their home, they're comfortable there, etc. I wanted to adopt kittens so I could get them...

Thanks! Yes, i’ve Been scouring the articles trying to pinpoint what the most likely cause is. It seems that while he knows he can use the litter box, he still doesn’t understand that it’s the ONLY appropriate place. He’s healthy and has been treated for his health issues (bladder blood clot and...
