    I need to install a cat-proof fence

    I am a little bit confused about your question, but I'm going to answer it as I think you formulated it. Getting the kitten was my decision, but it is my parents house and they would like the cats to still have access to that little roof space. I only need to know what the appropiate height...

    I need to install a cat-proof fence

    Because my other cat has gotten used to it and enjoys it. I have no need for a catio, my yard is walled. I just want to know what the proper measurements for a cat fence would be so my cat can keep enjoying that space in a safe way :)

    I need to install a cat-proof fence

    Hi guys! After a few weeks of sitting with my grief and processing (I'm going to therapy and it helps) I am about to adopt a young female cat. However, after the heartbreak of my dear Freddie getting run over I refuse to let them go anywhere near the street, which means I have to fence my...

    Adopting a cat from a loving home that can no longer keep him. Help!

    Sadly, I live in Mexico and we don't really have many shelters. Animals depend on good samaritans that take them in and do their best to place the cat/dog in a loving home. They usually assume you will help with the financial costs of caring for the kittens. A lot of them do not even offer to...

    Adopting a cat from a loving home that can no longer keep him. Help!

    The girl told me her husband basically saw how miserable she was without her cat and decided to keep trying with specialists for her. The way she told me the story was that yes, the husband had bad allergies but he was not really willing to do anything about it because he is kind of the whiny...

    Adopting a cat from a loving home that can no longer keep him. Help!

    They said they would see another allergologist and try to keep Napoleon out of the husband's spaces. She told me he used to crawl into his closet to sleep. No wonder he was having allergies!

    Adopting a cat from a loving home that can no longer keep him. Help!

    Guys, I have an update. Napoleon is going back to his family. I spoke with his mom this morning and she was also thinking of getting him back. I let her know that it was also hard for me, Napoleon and Lilo and that it was probably for the best. Thank you all for your support. I have a therapy...

    Did I make a mistake by adopting so soon?

    That's what I'm going to do. I feel like it is premature to call his mom and be like "hey, come get your child!" haha, but I honestly feel really uncomfortable right now. I know Napoleon is also adapting. I just spoke with his mom and told her he did not sleep much during the night and she said...

    Did I make a mistake by adopting so soon?

    Hi guys, thank you for your kind words. My main concern here is that I feel absolutely nothing for this cat. I don't want to spoil him. He feels like a friend went on vacation and just dropped their cat here for cat-sitting. I feel no attachment to him and right now he feels more like a nuisance...

    Did I make a mistake by adopting so soon?

    He started out as indoor but he found the way to get out. I thought he didn't go to the street, just my neighbor's yards (they are walled, our houses are built right next to each other and each has their own walled yard) and I asked if they were cool with it and they were. I never knew he could...

    Did I make a mistake by adopting so soon?

    Hi guys, So basically, my 1-year-3-month-old Freddie got run over 2 weeks ago. He was my life and my soul. I seriously considered him as precious to me as a human child and having lost him so suddenly was completely traumatizing. I thought I was ok-ish after 2 weeks. I was not crying every day...

    Adopting a cat from a loving home that can no longer keep him. Help!

    I live in Mexico so the way houses are built here is basically one next to the other and completely walled all around. Because I have a backyard the back walls are only 1 story high and because we have things leaning against the walls (ex. the barbeque grill) they can climb on it and go to the...

    Adopting a cat from a loving home that can no longer keep him. Help!

    Thank you for your advice! Yes, they are bringing everything over here as they won't have any cats anymore since the husband is very allergic. He will be staying in my room in the meantime. It's not the first time I introduce two cats so I am familiar with how stressful it can be, but I am...

    Adopting a cat from a loving home that can no longer keep him. Help!

    Thank you so much. I plan on allowing them access to the yard (it is walled) but no more excursions outside the home. I will come here for help if I need it, definitely.

    Adopting a cat from a loving home that can no longer keep him. Help!

    Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and I really need help with this situation. I had two cats, a female Siamese, Lilo (1 yr 9 mo old), and a male ginger cat, Freddie (1 yr 3 mo old). Freddie passed away 2 weeks ago. He was run over and Lilo and I are absolutely gutted. He was my baby and her partner...
