    Jealous Cats

    Still can't do the upload after following directions. But I have a windows phone. Its persnickety. Forgot about that spray. Will order today. Since KitKat sleeps with me, on days that he just wont let up with his stalking Moutside, I put him in my bedroom for the last 30-60 minutes of the...

    Couldn't get the picture to load, bit they are sleeping next to each other on my sofa.

    Jealous Cats

    Okay...they're not best friends. My Siamese KitKat tends to terrorize Moutside most days. But no fur flying. I think he regards her as a play toy, but Moutside's still too skittish for that just yet. I can tell when the Composure wears out of their systems....without a doubt. And I often...

    LOL. Anyone know which cat food hides meds like Composure best? I've tried Fancy Feast and Friskies wet versions. Both cays are turning their noses up at these once medicated.

    Jealous Cats

    Thanks for replies. We had a good day today. Found out that tense moments are easily diffused with these two with the rattling and dispersing of kitty snacks. Sort of feel like I'm rewarding bad behavior... But heck...its working! Also realized the real deal breaker for these two is their...

    Jealous Cats

    Thanks for replies. I had backed up and was confining Moutside again. Though, not with quite as much rigor. I put up only one gate. Unfortunately, last night proved that laughable as Moutside jumped over it several times. And invariably, each time she tried to jump in bed with KitKat and I...

    Jealous Cats

    Okay, not terrible, but not great news. I was so worried about Moutside being the aggressor, since KitKat has been my sheltered baby. But its the exact opposite! Mouts is as sweet as can be and KitKat has become a real pill! When I first started the face to face, Mouts would just ignore...

    Jealous Cats

    Okay guys. Are we ready to bring our formerly and still a little bit feral Moutside fully into the family? KitKat and Moutside are getting along famously. No hissing or charging anymore. They eat dinner together every night, still separated by the gate. They have nuzzled noses a few times...

    Thanks again for all the guidance. KitKat gets more than his share in attention128515. If I sit, he's there. He sleeps cuddled un my arms. If I stand, he raises his front legs to be picked up. He often rides on my shoulders while I'm working, washing dishes, etc. Spoiled rotten. So he demands...

    Jealous Cats

    How often and how long should I start with the screen door? I actually took a gate with a door and tied a thick plastic mesh with med size holes over the gate. I was worried either cat would get their heads stuck in the bars of the gate. Then I have a cheapie wooden baby gate stacked on top of...

    Cat Biting More than I've Realized

    Haven't found "da bird" yet. But I am trying to tire him out before bedtime. Among other suggestions offered to me. Thanks!

    Jealous Cats

    Thank you soooo much for backing me down a bit. I am having that guilt I've read about.... The one that says Moutside is miserable in a closed room and will be fine in "general population". And I have a friend who asked whether closing her off from us most of the time, will make her mean. I've...

    Lost cat -PLEASE HELP-

    Don't know if you have a garage door. When my Siamese went missing, someone told me to leave his litter box on the outside of the garage, then open the garage door just enough for him to crawl under. It worked. My cat was in the garage the next morning. Good luck. I know how scary it is to...

    Okay here is where we are... -I have not been able to open the door where new cat Moutside is living.. during the day and because of the construction workers. We are nearing the end of that...another week, maybe two. -I have opened it sporadically with a gate in place for an hour or so and then...

    Wow! Your perseverance is so inspiring! I like the screen door. And thanks for the pics. Did take Moutside in for spaying, but it was already done. I have always felt this was someone's pet at some time. She has a little street attitude with her, but is far too loving, far too quick to be...

    Cat Biting More than I've Realized

    You are spot on regarding the lack of training. Its the opposite in fact. I often played "chase the hand underneath the covers" with him as a kitten. Never had a biting cat before, in spite of my instilling this bad habit in previous pets. Unfortunately, with this cat...it came back to bite...

    Jealous Cats

    And that's what I'm wondering. I've picked up on how to introduce the cats, with the cats behavior as a focal point. I'm not sure what I should be doing while they're interacting! Tonight I did two new things.... One- I fed them both on opposite sides of the gate. Moutside went straight for...

    Cat Biting More than I've Realized

    I approached this subject in another thread and chalked up my Siamese's biting to the fact that we've adopted another cat. However, a friend of mine remarked that KitKat (the Siamese) has always been a biting cat and I have just worked around that. For instance, I wear long, thick sleeves to...

    Update... Started yesterday opening the door to Moutside's room for an hour with the gate in place. Though Moutside did hiss a bit at kitkat, it was sporadic and no where near as intense as before. Until...KitKat jumped up on my lap. (I was on the outside of the gate, while my son was with...

    Good advice. Thanks. Poor Moutside. Contractors were in the house today making noise. She has buried herself in the closet under suitcases. She didn't even meow when I went into the ruin to visit with her. When I did find her, she ran under the bed and wouldn't come out. So I sprayed the...
