She might be a little young to let outside and that might be the reason she is scared, also it doesn't seem like a good idea, at least for now with all the other reasons mentioned. When I got my cat Ruxpin I was expecting a kitten of course but one more like our other cat Roxie who is really...

In response to yorkiegal, I had a problem like this also. My girlfriend took in her childhood cat when her parents couldn't keep her anymore and she was pretty old. Then we adopted Ruxpin who was a kitten, obviously we didn't do any reading about the subject before hand either. Roxie apparently...

Yeah I was just worried because it is still early in their introduction stage, well not that early, Mic has been here for a little over a month, but as far as them being in the same room hanging out, it is still pretty early.

I don't think they are close enough yet to be play fighting, although it could be. It's hard to tell because they aren't hurting each other for sure, although sometimes one cat will become agitated because the other keeps following them and then he will be a little more aggressive (although...

I've been trying to introduce my cat with my new roommates cat and things seem to be going okay. The thing is they are always chasing each other around and kind of fighting with each other, although usually no contact is made and they don't growl or hiss. Whenever one leaves the room or moves...

That stuff sounds great. What do people think is the best method of using it? the spray or the diffuser? I'm thinking about getting some to help with the introduction of my cat to my new roommates cat, sounds like it might really help. Is the above link the best website as far as cost and...

We take one of our cats, Ruxpin, outside on a harness and he loves it. At first he hated getting into the harness, but as soon as he learned that it means he gets to go outside he no longer cared, in fact when we go to put it on him now he starts purring. One problem we do have is that...

My cat Ruxpin almost always does this with his dry food. He'll use his paws to scoop out a few pieces then eat them off the floor. Luckily he doesn't do it with his wet food, I could see how that could be messy. I remember reading something about it being sometimes harder for them to eat a bowl...

I know how this is, I'm in the middle of introducing my cat to my new roommates cat. I would say keep at it for a while. Feeding them together seemed to help my cat get along. Don't start too close, but if they won't eat wait until they are hungrier and try again. We had Mic upstairs for a few...

Thanks for your replies, I kind of just needed some reassurance that it was normal and everything is going okay. It doesn't seem like one cat is being more aggressive than the other. They will both chase each other around and they will usually fall short of making contact, like they will kind of...

I have definitely noticed a difference in the quality of catnip. One of my cats Roxie -loves- catnip, so much that she will beg me for it at night sometimes heh. But one time we had two different kinds at the same time and she would go crazy for one of them but wouldn't even bat an eye at the...

I've read lots of stuff on this site and researched elsewhere about the subject of introducing cats, but everything I've read seems to end at having them eat in the same room or having them be in the same room without hissing or growling. I've done all of the recommended stuff as far as keeping...

I've been reading a lot in the forum and I keep hearing about Feliway. What is it and what is it meant to do? Thanks a lot, -Houston

thanks for the replies and the link. Yeah I've read all of that stuff before and everything seemed to work well but now it seems like their relationship has stalled. They will eat right next to each other and even sit down pretty close without any growling or hissing but as soon as I leave the...

Hey, I hope everyone is doing well, I'm new to this forum and I'm requesting help that anyone can offer. I really appreciate it. I'm a 23 yr old college student and I live with my girlfriend and two cats. About 2 1/2 yrs ago my girlfriend had to take in a family cat, Roxie, because her dad was...
