Hi everyone! I've not been around in a loooong time, but both my cats are healthy and happy (even though we just moved a few months ago!). My roommate's cat is the reason I came here for everyone's great advice. The kitty's name is Peeve (as in Pet Peeve!), and he's just over 1 year old. He's a...

Do you live with your bf and his father? Because if the father lives somewhere else, it would probably be best for everyone if that cat went to go live with him! Have you considered swapping the cats? Try putting the older cat in the bedroom and letting your 3 out. It makes more sense...

ahaha! It's comforting to know that Pixel isn't the only one who does that! She's such a silly little monkey. She also is the deepest sleeper I've ever known, and she's VERY twitchy when she sleeps. It's nothing but chasing dreams for her.

I think Jeremy showed his concern for his little Bella by coming to our forum to begin with. I also think that it is completely possible to give advice and make suggestions without being overly defensive or calling someone irresponsible. I am a student too, so I can understand what it is like...

When we brought Pixel home a month ago we kept her in the bathroom for a couple of weeks until we could introduce her to our other cat. The two don't like to eat near each other, so Pixel is fed in the bathroom still, and Tak is fed in her usual spot in the kitchen. But Pixel has developed...

We have two cats: 4 year old Tak and a 5 month old Pixel. We've clipped Tak's claws since we adopted her as a kitten. It kept her from accidentally scratching us, and from ruining our carpet or furniture. Now that we've adopted Pixel, we wanted to ensure that they won't be injuring each other...

Yes, I have had a few torties and they were all as varied in their attitude as my current cats are! My cat Tak behaves a whole lot like your Karma, and she's a tabby. Meanwhile, a tortie that I had when I was a child was extremely patient, quiet and calm. I didn't even hear about the...

But I have had cats that do the same thing and they weren't torties! I think that people expect for their tortie to be a little different, so the cat is different (or the owner perceives that they are). I've done some research and apart from the colouring, there is nothing genetic about the...

I'm going to speak out and say that I think 'tortitude' is just a myth. Because it's due to the colouring of the cat and not a specific breed (ie: Siamese and their different mannerisms), I think that torties act differently than other cats because their owners expect the attitude... or the...

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support! I am THRILLED to report that today Pixel is walking around with her tail high in the air again! She does still have a small bump on her tail about 2 inches from her bum, but it doesn't seem to be causing her any pain (I can actually feel the...

There seems to be some improvement! She can twitch the tip of it again slightly. And the feeling is coming back. She just had a short nap and is now drinking some water. I'm watching her like a hawk... She's going in to be spayed on Wednesday. If she maintains control of her bowels and bladder...

Yeah, I'm reading that it can cause some massive problems for them internally... And turns out she doesn't have feeling in the tip of her tail. She was cleaning her foot and didn't see me touching it... and didn't feel it either. We have a Feliway diffuser, so I brought it into the room where...

Thank you for the fast reply and your input. My boyfriend is rushing home right now and we are going to figure out what to do. She's lying quietly on our bed right now, but her breathing seems fast. Also, she still has feeling in the tip of her tail, and judging by what I read online it means...

I think my 4.5 month old kitten just broke her tail. We had moved her climbing post onto the couch to vacuum. She climbed up on it and it fell off the couch before I could stop it. I think it landed on her tail. She started walking funny right away and is obviously in pain. Now she's walking...

I found a How-To Give a Cat a Pill website. Maybe you will find some suggestions on there? I also read that if you mix the crushed pill with the creamcheese and then rub it on their paw, they will instantly lick it off and digest the pill. Hopefully you find some ideas! Great work with Sassy...

I'm sure someone else can give you more specific advice (ie: those who actually HAVE male cats. ), but I'll take a stab at it. How old is Pounce? I doubt that it was the neutering that made him more territorial, but it might just be that he's maturing and trying to establish a place for...

Cat Exposed - Neutered Male Gone Wild! Sorry to tease. He's such a sweet boy! I'm very happy to hear that he's showing that naughty black cat who's the boss around there and that he's claimed the prime sunbathing spots for himself. Go, Cat, go!

I was waiting for someone to say those. I tried them for the first time a few weeks ago... and they are kind of gross. BUT! They are soooo cute.

Someone who has tried the carrier method may be able to speak specifically about giving it a try, but it sounds conterproductive to me. If the resident cat hasn't been to a vet in years, I'd be hesitant to have her mingling with the other cats anyway! Hope you can get her there soon and that...

She's been here for five weeks now, and the first 2 weeks she was confined to the bathroom for the intro method. Hm. I hope it doesn't take 6 months... but that's better than not happening at all! It's good to know that there IS the possibility of things improving. It just seems like we went...
