    Strange Behaviour With New Dog

    I have a 13yr old Calico cat whom I've had since she was a kitten. At the end of last summer I adopted a 2 year old rescue dog. 25lbs, pug/lab mix. They are curious about each other, but leave each other alone mostly. She has never been a sociable cat! One strange thing I've noticed, though...

    Problem with being picked up

    Ok, this will probably be a long post, well, I know it will be and i'm really sorry! I did a search and went through the stickied topics but i couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Sorry for all the ramling! Anyway, our cat Libby is about 10/11 months old now and in short, she hates...

    Vets in Chicago

    I know this is a long shot... especially as I want to find a vets by tomorrow morning and i'm not sure how many people here are from the Chicagoland area. But i'll give it a shot... Libby has been sneezing a little and has whiteish gunk coming from her eyes - not a ton, i've noticed 3 small...

    Kitten losing baby teeth

    I did a search but didn't really find what I was looking for - apologies if this post was unneccessary. My husband pointed out this morning that Libby looked like she was snarling and that it may be her tooth... I thought so too and to confirm it, I just found the tooth on the bedroom floor I...

    Libby

    I thought i'd post a couple more pictures of Libby - just because there are so many cute kitten pictures here and i want to join the proud meowmys and daddys and show everyone my cat!! These were taken a few weeks ago. She's getting bigger every day now. She has such a serious little face!!

    How to say sorry?

    I think this belongs in this section, I never know where to put threads! I've found lately that Libby has gotten under foot a lot. She's almost 4 months now so she's still kinda small and i'm as careful as I can be not to hurt her. If we're walking and she runs into us or our foot touches her...

    Styrofoam

    I know probably no-one here knows everything a cat can and can't eat but, asking on the off chance that anyone has had a similar experience or has any advice. I walked into the living room this morning to see her doing her usual chewing, the kind she does when she's found something she...

    Kitten safe when sleeping?

    I thought this was more appropriate here than anywhere else. Sorry if it should have gone elsewhere though. I'll start off with what happened last night. Probably not needed but, need to say it because it scared me so badly. Libby (our 13 week old kitten) has just started sleeping in our room...

    Noises

    I posted before about my cat moewing a lot when she has everything she needs and doesn't want to be petted/play. Lately she's now started chirping a lot too. I thought chirping was only a happy sound but sometimes she does it when it seems like she's annoyed. Today I went to stroke her and she...

    Cat & dog questions (long post)

    I know there are many threads about introducing new animals into the household and i've read through many of them - but this situation is slightly different and has now had a hiccup too. We're trying to introduce my husbands parents dog (they live next door) to our new kitten. She's about 13...

    Creepy movement

    My kitten just recently has started to freak me out slightly. Well, maybe not freak me out but what she does is very creepy to watch! She arches her back up, turns her head to the side and starts walking/jumping sideways. At first it was just at her own reflection in our dresser (the drawers...

    Claw extended

    Ugh, i hate to post so many threads on these forums - especially as I'm a first time cat owner and can't offer much helpful advice of my own to others yet. As someone said though, it's overwhelming to find somewhere for support/answers. We decided to go the soft paw route with our kitten...

    Nutty kitten

    My kitten's usually nutty and running around, but today she totally going over the top and I don't know why! She's usually playful and naughty, i keep her entertained and usually after an hour at most of playing she's tired out and asleep in my lap. This morning though she's been a complete...

    Mewing

    This isn't a problem, but I wasn't sure where else to put the thread, and it is behaviour. Our new kitten Libby meows frequently and I've no idea why! She'll either just be walking past and do it, or sit and look up at my husband or I and do it. She knows where her food is, her water, her...

    Bitter Apple Spray

    I searched the forums but couldn't find an answer to this. Sorry if it's already in a thread somewhere else. Also sorry if this is a really stupid question! What's the best way to apply the bitter apple spray to wires? Should I spray it straight on, or spray onto kitchen towel and wipe it on...

    Having trouble...

    I feel bad for posting so much when I only joined Friday... well, not a lot, but 2 threads asking for advice in 4 days seems like a lot to me. I was going to put this in the health section, but seeing as it's relaly about my health mainly I put it here. Sorry if it's the wrong place for it...

    First kitten

    Thought i'd share some pictures of our new kitten Libby. She's 10 weeks old now. Usually she's running around but this was one of the few moments that's she's snuggled with me since she's been here (a week now). You can just see the sock we've put on her to stop her from getting to her...

My name's Victoria and my (well, our kitten - me and my husband) kittens name is Libby, short for Liberty. Not for the reason...

    Spayed today

    I'm new here, i hope this is the right place to post O.o I guess i'm just looking for reassurance really. This is my first kitten and to say that i'm neurotic about her wellbeing right now would be a huge understatement. She's 10 weeks old and just got spayed today. I got her back home a...
