    Featured Recommendations for Anxious Behavior

    Get some thick slippers and rub her bedding on them so they have her scent. When in the house only wear those. A lot of calm talking. Let her know where you are and that she's safe. When she attacks, stop moving, talk her down. If you're able to sit down on the spot. At her level you're less...

    1 year old kitten has peed laying down since I adopted her

    If she is healthy and pooping with a more traditional stance, I would think a quirk of her own. Perhaps a learned behavior from others at the shelter. "hide as low as you can behind the box side so predators don't see you're vulnerable"

    Chasing behavior

    The 2yrs reaction afterwards will tell you if you need to worry. Does she hide and cower? Does she peek out curiosly? Does she walk around confidently?

    My Boyfriend is constantly Chasing and teasing my cats, what should I do.

    It sounds like you want to keep this relationship and hope he matures and learns to understand what he's doing. You could try the angle "I care for (or love if you're at that point) you. When you chase and terrorize my cats it hurts me too. They are my babies, when they are scared and upset so...

    Looking on some advice on my situation (introducing 9 week onld kitten to 5 year old Cat)

    You're adult is very scared of the little invador. Give her some time and space. Make sure to wash your hands and maybe even change clothes after playing with the kitten. Talk calmly too her, don't push interactions, and let her come to you. She still loves you and is just overwhelmed right now...

    Guilt is killing me

    The picture in your other post looks like you have a balcony. Can you put up a bird feeder? Put on "cat TV" in the other room. You can find videos on youtube. The idea is to get him distracted. Many cats don't like to play with "dead" toy (things that don't move) and get bored with most of the...

    Teenage resident cat eager to play with kitten, kitten hissing/growling

    It's unlikely. Kitten will catch up in size and it will even out. Get some cardboard boxes and cut small holes that kitten can fit through but teen can't. The little will have an escape if she wants it. Just make sure there are at least to entrances.

    Separating “bonded “ cats

    It sounds like he's chosen his person. Most of the cats I've met have a favorite person in the house but still like the rest. My Grandmothers first Siamese loved her and ran from everyone else. Sqeeker, my picture, had a similar personality. After 15yrs he still ran if you glanced at him too...

    Late Morning Dilemma

    Try flattening it on a paper plate to slower her down. Besides it being spread out, the plate slides on the floor so she'll have to follow it.

    Toys for destructive kitten

    I found things in the baby/toddler and dog sections for my Miss Monkey 30yrs go. She wasn't a chewer just destroyed all cat toys. Knocked something against the wall hard enough to break and dipped soft toys in the water to make them easier to tear apart. Like @susanm9006 said todays spring...

    9 Month Old Resident Kitten Stalking 8 Week Old New Kitten

    The more they are together the better it will get. Your older boy is getting very worked up at the anticipation of playing with the kitten. You want him to be a little bored by the kittens presence. It sounds like your teen already likes the baby and wants to play. An accidental injury is more...

    Cat not returned home after 6 days

    Did your phone autocorrect for desex? She should let the vet know about him being missing and what you all have been observing since he got home. Ask the vet if it is safe right now.

    Adaptation to new home

    It sounds like you're doing everything right. If you're able to, follow her same routine from before you moved. Don't make a fuss over her unless she's looking for it. The more normal you act the quicker she'll adjust. Do you have a self warming mat? I place it under a blanket so I don't have...

    Regressing?

    If Mom was holding her down and forcing the grooming I'd be concerned for baby. Mom is say "not this, but that". "I don't want you succling but I'll calm you this way" Since baby is sleeping after then she was comforted. It doesn't sound like either is hurt or scared so I wouldn't interfere...

    Wants to go out after spay

    It can take a while for the hormones to normalize after spay. Even though she can't go into heat her body is still telling her brain that it can. I seen several post about boys getting extra hormonal and very demanding to get out after neutering. I didn't know it also happened with girls and...

    I deffinitely need some advice...

    I just did a search on"cat shakes when happy" and was amazed at how common this is. Can you post a video? Without seeing, it's difficult to comment. Does his face look happy when it's happening? Is it possible he enjoys watching the kids play wild and that's why it also happens at that time?
