    Extremely Needy Cat But I Still Love Him

    sounds like a sweet kitty! someone above suggested hissing at your cat, and when I want my cats to recognize bad behavior, I do this as well; it actually works, even though it seems quite silly. I've picked up one by the scruff, hind feet still on the floor, and hissed at her right in the face...

    Is This New Kitty Behavior Normal?

    I believe they will be just fine, as another poster said, they are still very young and "working it out". my two, who are sisters, rarely get into actual fights, but everything they do before "wrestling" looks like a real fight to me. the only time i intervene is when i start hearing cat calls...

    How Do You Keep Cats Off Your Counters?

    Is My Kitty Happy?

    I've got sisters and they were both very quiet up until about two months ago, now they vocalize when it's time for food, and especially when I get home from work, which is really different than cats in general. It seems as if cats develop at different junctures, depending on many factors. I...

    What Age Does A Cats Senses Fully Develope

    at 8 weeks old my two were still kind of clumsy, but had no problems negotiating jumping and climbing. you need to give us more descriptions of what your talking about.

    Sibling Rivalry: Horomonal Or Personality?

    I'm kind of with the other replies at this point. I have two girls that are just at 9 months old, that are spayed/neutered and they get along about as perfectly as can be expected. there is no medical proof that I've seen that shows that spaying harms a cat in any way, and there IS proof that it...

    Catification Of A Duplex

    my two six month olds are obviously very active. I rent a duplex with very high ceilings, especially the areas going down the two sets of stairs to the garage. I certain points, I'm sure the ceiling is 20-25 feet from the floor. I happened to be on facebook, and saw a video of this very cool...

    Feeding Too Much?

    I've learned so much taking care of these two from such a young age. they are so different, even though they are siblings.

    Feeding Too Much?

    I know a pretty decent amount of "basic" information about how cats can be. however, I assumed way too much about how life would be with two energetic balls of fur coming into my life back in October. relatively speaking, things have been wonderful. yes, we've had to take the curtains down in...

    7 Week Old Kitten Doesn't Sleep With Me Anymore

    my girls cuddle with me a lot, but not during sleep...of course at six months old, they have much more FUN stuff to do, and they do literally sleep on top of each other at times. don't worry, she'll come back to you after she bores of everything else in the house. cats are typical this...

    Thinking Of Getting A Kitten

    I've been EXTREMELY lucky about the lack of noise with my two girls. they are quite used to the bedroom door being closed, but other than that, compromise is the name of the game. Cats cannot be "trained" like dogs. my kitchen counters, dinning room table are regular locations for my girls, as...

    My Five Month Old Kitten Has Fleas What Do I Do!?!? Help Please!!

    flea collars are a waste of money. the only place they will kill fleas is around the cat's neck. the fleas will move to another part of their body and feast there. why do you think they are so much cheaper than Advantage or Frontline? I spent at least $300.00 dollars a few summers back, trying...

    New Kitten Won't Eat And Shakes And Hides.

    if you kitten hasn't eaten by now, that's not good. I would get it to the vet soon, kittens need nutrition much more than a mature cat. I would at least call a vet and see what they say.

    Please Help!!!! Temp Move (1month) To My Friends House Who Has 2 Other Cats - What Should I Do?

    OMG...I forgot about that. my girls have been shut out of the bedroom the past four months, it took me ONE night to realize they want to play IN the bed while we try to sleep. I wonder if we'll EVER be able to open the bedroom door again at night. yeah, maybe option one would be better....unless...

    Please Help!!!! Temp Move (1month) To My Friends House Who Has 2 Other Cats - What Should I Do?

    I like option 3 as well. she'll definitely be curious/anxious about the other cats in the house, so be ready for maybe some weird behavior from her. also, I've had cats like this in my house, and the other cat gave my two (years ago) fleas. it was so bad my wife and I were getting bitten several...

    Cats And Vacations

    I would think the trip would be more stressful than staying home. cats normally don't care for cars, unlike dogs, and what do you do with them when you get to your vacation spot? much like yourself, I have these two furbabies that I'm going to have to leave sooner or later. my biggest fear is...

    Is Kitten Food Necessary?

    ok, so three day/nights in a row, they have left wet food in the bowl when I get up at 0500. either they are getting too full off the dry food earlier in the day, or they don't like the wet food. I'm going to try a different brand to see if that makes a difference.

    Danger To My Fur Babies?

    I may try the tape, (I bought some for another situation with them), but my fear is that they jump up there, feel the tape and jump away from it down the HIGH side of the bannister just to get away from it...probably not a good situation. my guess is that they have both fallen from it at night...
