Update! Mozzie still likes her space for sure, and will bop Catrick on the head if he bothers her too much... but they're living in peace now! They even sleep butt-to-butt when Mozzie is feeling generous. They keep each other occupied when they're alone at home, which is great, and they get...

I hope your kitties are doing well! I thought I'd update you on mine (two months after the introduction of the new cat) for encouragement: Mozzie (the queen of the apartment) still likes her space for sure, and will bop Catrick (the newb) on the head if he bothers her too much... but they're...

Thanks! Yeah, I've never used scented littler, try to keep any unnecessary scents to a minimum (goodbye nice candles), and Catrick gets immune supplements in his wet food every morning. I'm shopping for a humidifier and a purifier too, just want to invest in the right ones. Catrick's cold is...

Did that last night! It did seem to clear him up a little, and he sneezed less overnight

So my second cat, Catrick, has a mild URI. He's a pretty recent addition to the household, and only my second cat. The first, Mozzie, hasn't had a cold since I adopted her. Catrick is 9 months old, had a clean bill of health as of his adoption two weeks ago, and is FIV+. He started getting...

Update time! They're both free-roaming now. They're coexisting peacefully, but Mozzie is still coming to terms with having a brother, lol. She covets her personal space, and she'll hiss at Catrick if he invades her bubble. I feel kind of bad for him because he really wants to cuddle/play, but...

Thanks everyone! My vet recommended a basic immune supplement for him and giving him majority high protein wet food, as well as just keeping a close eye on his health and being really proactive about it. She said he was very healthy and thankfully didn't go doom-and-gloom on me!

I'm in a similar situation right now! New cat, anxiety disorder, the whole kit and kaboodle! I've got the same stuff happening, so hopefully it will put us both at ease that the hissing and growling and (at least in my case) the grumpy-looking first cat are all pretty standard. My two are the...

I call this pose the Synchronized Swimmer

So on Saturday morning I brought home a second cat, with the long-term goal of keeping Mozzarella happier and, most crucially, busy, because she was getting pretty attention-seeking in her feline loneliness. Well, now Sir Catrick Stewart (9 mo DSH) is all settled in and currently confined mostly...

Yesterday I brought home Catrick, a 9-month-old, otherwise healthy FIV+ kitty. He was a street kitten and had no wounds when they found him, so the rescue assumes he got it from his mother. He was originally at a kill shelter that didn't have the certification to house FIV+ cats, so they were...

It's been two days and they haven't even met yet! Just a lot of getting used to each other's scent and eating their meals on either side of a closed door. Newbie's name is Sir Catrick Stewart and he's a 9 month old love bug. Taking everything in stride and napping a lot. Mozzie's done some...

Introducing Sir Catrick Stewart! He's a total love bug, but we're trying to get him to be less nocturnal lol

Lol I sort of did, not that I didn't meet all the other cats too (30 of them). Haven't even gotten pictures yet, haha, but I'll upload when I have them

Update! I brought home #2 this morning. Haven't decided on his name yet, but he's a 9 month old, shorthair black and white boy who's playful, super snuggly, and did well with the other cats at the rescue. He's also FIV+. A rescue volunteer handed him to me when I walked in and said "This is...

These are my comparison photos for my cat Mozzie, the week I got her (1 & 3) vs. three months later (2 & 4). She is currently a perfectly healthy weight, she just massively increased in fluffiness because she stopped over-grooming out of stress!

I have the same conflicted feelings, I just want to do what's ultimately best for Mozzie. When I adopted her, I went to the shelter and asked which cat had been there the longest, and it was her (not super long by regular standards, but the rescue I use has a vast and loyal clientele so a month...

Thanks for your stories! As far as adding a kitten... would an older kitten be better? Mozzie loves to play/has roomies a couple times a day, but I don't want a kitten to drive her nuts! Also, I've considered a kitten just on the basis that she had several batches of her own kittens before I...

Not my cat, I was just wondering if anybody owned a cat with a squished-but-not-flat face, and if it's just how they look or if there's anything going on healthwise (like with Persians or brachycephalic dogs).

Lol, Mozzie knows exactly when her mealtimes are and she starts screaming at us two hours in advance, to make extra sure we don't forget!
