Thanks for all of the advice. For as much as Oliver vomits - he is overweight so I think he is getting MOST of the food down. I've had him to the vet several times and no one can tell me what his deal is. I think I'll try the California Natural ..... or look for something without grain. I'd...

Thanks for this "Cliff notes for question 1 whole food ... try elevating the dish or using a flat dish ... kitty MAY be eating to fast .. if this does not resolve it look at the food feeding as it may be a allergy" BUT..... what next?? OK so I've had it! I give up. Oliver has been vomiting for...

I believe that the kitten will adjust. When I took Stella home, she was a barn kitten that I literally had to trap and lock in a box for the trip. She is now as friendly as can be (Well, for a calico)

Thanks all. Yes, Stella is about 8months old. I sure do hope she grows out of this. I'm tired of refilling the dishes... 5x day. I will have to try some heavyduty dishes. Do the pet fountains work?

Ok she's making me nuts. I had to resort to keeping her and Oliver's water dishes in the bathtub because she would play in it and make a mess on the kitchen floor. Her new thing is that she will push the dishes along with her head until they go up the side of the tub and dump over. Please help...

I think it's a great idea for you to get a kitten!! Oliver was 3 when I got Stella (who was only 6 weeks). I kept them separate for about a week and just let them be together when I could supervise. I realized that Oliver would not hurt her at all..... He was very gentle. And those little...

My cat loves to lick the envelopes after I open them. I wonder if that's ok.. I could give him a job!

Well I'm probably going to start something here but here is my 2 cents - I have a friend who recently took in a mother dog and her 2 puppies and rehomed them herself. She knew who they belonged to but these poor dogs were outside ALL the time, hungry and cold and begging to be let into her...

I actually have the same problem with Oliver. What seems to work for me (so far) is to NOT free-feed. I feed my two cats twice a day in 4 shallow dishes spread throughout the house. I don't know why this works but I've been doing it for a month and he's only thrown up once since.

Yes I agree that starting over is the best thing. The smells of the vet are definately strange to your other cats.. It took awhile for Oliver to readjust to Stella after her spay!

Do you not have free kittens there? They are EVERYWHERE here in the U.S. And I wouldn't hesitate to get one again. I took Stella (who was a barn kitten) and turned her into a indoor only cat. She is perfectly healthy and loves her new home. More importantly, Oliver is much happier!

Thanks.. I have already changed his food once, do you really recommend changing it again? Does anyone have any recommendations for food? I read also that elevating his food dishes might help?

OK, Oliver is about 4 and he has a problem with bingeing. He doesn't chew his food, swallows it whole and then guess what. He pukes it right back up. I'm guessing he swallows air or something. I'm not sure if I should've posted this here but it's not a health problem. He's been checked out...

Thanks for the note. She does have everything, food water litterbox and a comfy bed. I had to put her water dish in the bathtub because for some reason she thought that splashing around was a good idea. But it's still there for her to drink. I guess she must be feeling good!

I have to say that Stella is the same way. She just got spayed yesterday and she is bouncing off the walls. I had to lock her up in the bathroom so she doesn't tear her stitches. She's 6mo old.

She is OUT OF CONTROL!!! Aren't they supposed to be sleepy? The minute I got her home she was running, jumping, climbing the tree, etc. I ended up locking her in the bathroom so she doesn't tear her stitches. I feel like a bad mom. Any ideas how to keep her quiet?

Don't worry!!! This takes time... I have a 3 yr old and brought home a new kitten. I kept the baby locked up (as you are) for about a week.. only bringing her out when I was home and awake. Let your kitten explore under your supervision. Your adult may hiss or growl but I don't think he will...

What????? He comes out??? How about fixing the vent so that he can't go back in?

I have a kitten and an adult cat. I was told by my vet that it's ok if they eat each others food as a matter of fact, I just mixed the kitten and cat food and they both ate it. In my opinion, cats eat when they want and I can't imagine either of them eating when I want them to. The vet also...

OK, my situation was similiar. Oliver is about 3 yrs old and I recently brought in a kitten. I also have a small place, 1 bedroom/1 bath. It only took about two weeks for the 2 to adjust but I think I was very lucky. The kitten (Stella) spent her time locked in the bathroom with everything she...
