We decided that our older cat Smokey needed a friend because we felt guilty leaving him home alone. At first, things were kind of hectic. Nick was 8 weeks old. After a few days, they were ok with each other. They started kind of slowly, but eventually Smokey was giving Nick baths and they were...

My oldest cat Smokey came from a shelter. He was 2 1/2 when we adopted him. We had him for almost a year when we decided that he needed a friend because he was a little anti-social. We adopted Nick from a rescue society when he was 8 weeks old. They are the best of friends! Smokey is still...

He was not too happy with me when we got home from the vet, but he finally warmed back up to me after a little while.

An update. I took Nick to the vet this afternoon. The vet expressed his anal glands and said that he is as good as new. Thanks for the advice.

Nick has an appointment with the vet to see what is going on with him. I will update you when we find out.

Nick is an indoor only cat. Is it possible for him to get worms since he has not been exposed to the outdoors since he was a kitten? We got him at 8 weeks old and he has been indoors ever since. Also, he had a fecal exam at his first vet appointment when we first brought him home from the...

My cat Nick seems to have a problem. We, my husband and I, have noticed that Nick seems to have an odor coming from his rear end all of the time. There are times that there seems to be a little poop left there, but most of the time there is nothing noticeable except this horrible odor. Would...

Smokey and Nick are together when I lock Smokey out of the bedroom. They do have access to several toys (toy mice, lighted balls, etc.) at night while we are trying to sleep.

I don't know about the vacuum. Smokey doesn't seem to mind it when it just sits there.

Thanks for the thoughts! My husband was more concerned about it than me. These are the first indoor cats he has ever been around.

I just posted about my cat Smokey and his nocturnal behavior. My cat Nick has a thing with excessive kneading. He only does it when he gets on our bed on top of the comforter. Any thought as to why he does this? We adopted him at 8 weeks old.

Thanks for the advice about the vacuum. I may try that to see if it helps!

We thought about putting curtains over the blinds to see if it helps this problem. We also are going to do it to block light. I have to work some nights and have to sleep during the day.

My older cat, Smokey, is about 4 years old. We have had him for a year and a half. We added a younger brother Nick about 9 months ago. Nick is now almost a year old. We recently moved into a house from an apartment. Smokey has just started slapping the blinds when we (my husband and I) are...
