I called the SPCA today. After a brief stay in the medical clinic (a normal procedure, they told me, before cats are adoptable) Nikko was put up for adoption on January 16th and adopted on January 19th. Three days! I knew my special guy would not be without a home for long. Someone else...

Thank you, everyone, for your kind words. It has been a week since I returned Nikko and, you know, I'm doing fine. I think I'm helped by knowing that this was really the only solution to my allergies and that because the SPCA has such strict adoption policies I know Nikko will be welcomed into a...

Ok, I'll see if this works. Here is a picture of my special guy, Nikko.

I had a very sad weekend. I had to return Nikko to the SPCA (from where I adopted him seven months ago) because I was having severe allergic reactions. Nikko was my first cat, and it never occurred to me to get tested for an allergy to cat dander prior to adopting a cat. Nikko, a two-year old...

When Nikko is resting, I often notice that his legs start kicking (just a bit, not wildly), his whiskers start flicking back and forth, his ears start twitching, and sometimes his entire body will lightly shake. I assume that he is in some deep dream state, perhaps chasing a rodent or spying on...

I got a harness for Nikko but have only used it a few times. He despises it! To see him wear it you would think I had taken him to a medieval torture chamber and tied him to a rack! He can barely stand up let alone walk...and not because it is too tight, I don't fasten it too tight. It just...

What is the longest time anyone has left a cat alone? I have to be gone for 3-1/2 days at Christmas, and am unable to find anyone to look in on Nikko. The people I trust are unavailable and there is no space available at the boarding facility. I have left Nikko for two days on a few occasions...

Hello and thanks for the replies. Seems that orange tabbys (males in particular) are generally pretty mellow. Nikko never complains no matter how often I pick him up or want to play with him. Although I do watch the signs on those rare occassions when he wants to be left alone: he jumps on the...

Hi. I'm a new cat owner. I recently adopted a two-year old from the SPCA. He is an orange tabby named Nikko, and is simply the most mellow guy. I took him to a vet for a check-up and mentioned this to the doctor. He said that it is part of the orange tabby breed to be mellow and easy going, that...

Nikko never paid much attention when I blew regular "kid" bubbles. He would watch but never play. He loves catnip bubbles, though, jumping up to pop them or pouncing on them if they land on the floor without popping. This is interesting because catnip really doesn't have much effect on him. I'm...
