River is my 7 (turning 8 in two months) maceral male tabby. He's a very well house-friendly cat. I've had him for almost six years, for the first few years him leaving faeces outside of his tray happened but as one-off rare situations. It increased in some frequency a few years ago but still...
Is it normal for a kitten to be less competent at litter etiquette and is this something one would expect they will grow out of, even if they are post-learning-from-mother?
Background: I've had River (my first cat and pet) for five years, and he is a very well behaved and domesticated cat. The...
Teach kitten it's okay to be handled
To start this post off - I do understand that ultimately, one cannot fully dictate a cat's behaviour, and that especially with kittens, how they act when they young isn't how they act when they are older, and I am fully prepared to accept no matter what I do...
This isn't so much a request for advise as it is just something I find humorous I want to comment on, although by all means provide insight if you think it's helpful!
River (7 next month, I've had him for 5 years and 1 week) is my first cat, and he was always been extremely well behaved. Even...
This is the first time I've ever had a second cat. Resident cat is River, 7 next month, new kitten is Lillie, almost ten weeks.
So I'm facing the issue of food segregation. It doesn't help that River is very food orientated and has been eating Lillie's food whenever he can. Lillie seems...
I’ve adopted a new kitten (Lillie, 9 weeks), on Tuesday afternoon.
My existing cat (River, 6 years, will be 7 in 6 weeks, he is fixed) approached Lillie, whilst trilling. After giving her a few licks on her fur, he then tried to hold on to her fur with his teeth - it didn’t seem to be a bite...
Hi so
River takes a dewormer (the standard prevention one, he's not under any treatment for having worms) where every three months you'd give him four pink tablets one week, four fawn the next and then finally four pink on the third, and then wait another three months.
I'm fairly certain I...
Hey all
As I was leaving my house today, my father who was visiting noticed this right next to my front door:
He immediately assumed it was River's poo, but I didn't think it was - it looked nothing like River's poo, even at his loosest his stool doesn't clump together like this, and it had...
I've always assumed this was my cat playing - usually if he's annoyed at me he will slink away, or growl. He's doing neither here, and as you can see he alternates between biting and licking, and if I start to scratch him he'll relax into it.
Seeing as I managed to get it on camera, I...
Hey so I've been trying to train River to come to me when I click my tongue. What I've been doing is feeding him his favourite treats (which he will run to me if he hears me cracking or shaking the bag) while clicking.
Today I clicked first, out of sight, and River came up to me, and I fed him...
Hey guys! Here's a curious one for you!
Almost without fail, everytime River walks on or near my laptop, it crashes. Completely blue screens. He doesn't touch the keys and not even the touchpad really, the most he does is walk on the bit below the keyboard. And it crashes.
Pictured shortly...
Hey all! This is Shaggy, my parents' neighbour's cat who I used to chill and play with a lot when he comes to visit our garden. We get on very well and he's super affectionate and will always run to me when I call him. I'm not sure what breed he is though, in my limited insight I think he's...
Hey all!
I'm new to this forum. I'm also a new cat owner. I've always loved cats, but this year has been the first time I've ever been able to adopt one.
This is River:
He's a two year old domestic short-haired tabby. I adopted him off my friend this October and he's been living with me...
