    Depressed kitty

    My 4-year-old is not happy about the arrival of a 6-mo old kitten. Ever since the kitten's arrival, she stops being affectionate--does not want me pet her, stay at arm's length, does not sleep with me anymore etc., and at the same time has decreased her food intake a lot. She has lost some...

    playful kitten and scared 4-year-old

    Hello! I adopted a 4-year-old spayed female, Babe, 3 months ago. A shy, kind of scared cat, but affectionate at times (on her terms). Her foster mom told me that she was given up because she was scared of and was being chased by the other cats in her old home. 1 month ago, a 5-month-old...

    kitten ran out & returned home!

    Hi guys: A 5-month old kitten came to my doorstep 4 weeks ago. Reported to the local shelter/ pet clinics, but no one claimed him. So I made him welcome at my home, and since then he has only been indoors (and at the same time I have been leash training him at home). Yesterday was the big...

    static shock (you and kitty)

    Does anyone have any ingenious method of minimizing static shock when petting our kitties in the winter month? (ok, other than using a humidifier in every single room of the house). Anything in their diet that can make their coat not so dry? Thanks! Annie

    Affectionate or not?

    This is not exactly a problem, but I would like your opinions. When I adopted my cat at the shelter 4 weeks ago, I was told that she LOVES to be petted and is very affectionate. I was looking for an affectionate cat and was not interested in cats that are too independent. She is 4 yrs old...

    cat is switching her scratching spot every 2 days

    Hello! I have a problem that I hope to get some advice on. My cat (3 weeks new--adopted from a shelter) was hidding for about a week after she came to her new home. Now that she is more familiar with her surroundings, she has been using a different scratching spot every 2 days. First she...

    Is this a bad problem?

    Hello: I am a new member of this group, and hope I can get some advice. I just adopted a cat a week ago--4yr old, spayed when she was almost one. I was told by the foster mom that she was given up because her previous' owner's other cats have been chasing her. She is quite shy, but lately...
