Hi SnickersMom ~ I think it depends on what you purchase. I've never used flower essences, but I've considered it and I did some research (I had some very stressful problems with my cat and I was willing to try anything - fortunately things worked out on their own, so I never had to purchase...

Hi Nick, Have you taken Copcar to the vet? Maybe he should be checked just to make sure nothing is wrong... How long have you had him? Is it possible that he is still adjusting if you've only had him for a little while? Is he neutered? Maybe a trip to the vet would help... I know that the...

Hi Nick ~ Try not to give up on Copcar (what a great name!) I have a vocal cat too. I've had her for 4 months now. Just like GingersMom said, you may just have a "talker" on your hands. I know it is maddening (I KNOW what you are going through), but try to be patient (I also know that is...

Hi Gilbert&Liam - it looks like a lot of others have this same problem, including me! I think some people just have "chatty" cats and others have vocal cats who are a little more than "chatty." Is your cat just being talkative or is it a loud and constant meowing? We are dealing with the...

Hi DW. I am a newer cat owner too and our cat, KitKat, came to us under the same circumstances that your new cat came to you. KitKat also meows quite a bit, sometimes constantly. I know how you are feeling and the meowing can sometimes be frustrating, but the reward of having a loving...

I'm glad to hear Elsa is doing well! I'll have to start looking into hyperthyroidism in cats - also, I never even thought about KitKat's hearing. I think it's fine. She always comes when we call her... Last night was the first night of peace and quiet we've had in quite some time. I feel...

Thanks for the good luck wishes. We need all of the good luck we can get right now! Also, thanks for sharing the info. about dogs/cats. Originally, before KitKat came along unexpectedly, we were planning to get a puppy (planning for a long time!). I've always had dogs and had never owned a...

P.S. How is Elsa now? I hope okay...

You know, they didn't even mention that to me at all. I think I will check with the vet about that too then. Her first night home last night was challenging. Not only was she still a little sedated (they told me she'd be lethargic and that she would rest all night), but she was pacing all...

Thanks Larke. My husband and I talked about this last night after picking her up from the vet. We are considering it... How do cats do with dogs as companions? Not the same?

Hi nprepost ~ I am going through the same thing as you right now. We adopted a stray in July and we are having horrible problems with meowing. Our cat is spayed also. I've been trying Feliway, but it's not working for me. But it IS worth a try because most people seem to report great success...

Hi kluchetta. KitKat is done with surgery... I'm at work and I will be picking her up on my way home. The vet said that no tissue was remaining, so they now believe that whatever is bothering KitKat is most likely a behavioral problem. They are recommending that she take serotonin for awhile...

Just an update about KitKat... For those of you who have read any of my posts about our cat, KitKat, we have been having some problems with her meowing (not just normal meowing). She had exploratory surgery today to see if any ovarian tissue was missed when she was first spayed (she's displayed...

Natalie_ca ~ While I appreciate the apology, the reason that I feel insulted is because you have taken only a PORTION of what I've posted and I feel my overall point is missed when you take my question out of context. My entire post was: I am MORE than aware that pets are like children and...

Thanks! I actually know a co-worker who runs an organization to help feral cats, so I think I'll talk to her about it. Over the weekend I was thinking the same thing about the Humane Society and I don't want the cat to be euthanized. Thanks for your advice!

I will try to keep this short so it won't get complicated. If more details are needed, I will be happy to provide them. After reading the information below, my main question is this: Since no one in the neighborhood knows who this stray cat belongs to, can we trap him and take him to the...

Hi! I'm a new cat owner (a few months), so I'm sure my advice may not be as good as someone who has more experience with cats than I do, but my sweet little girl KitKat meows quite a bit. She also gets up early, around 5:00 a.m. usually, and sometimes she is very vocal and other days she's...

Thanks Tick-n-Thistle! I am a good mom to KitKat and I ADORE her. I appreciate your kind words!

Thank you MissintheSouth. I agree, Natalie_ca was extremely harsh toward me. It seems to me that Natalie_ca didn't read all of my posts in their entirety. I am not a child - I am a responsible adult who has put a lot of research into my options and my husband and I have been EXTREMELY...

Thanks everyone for the good advice. I'm glad I found this site because it's been very helpful and everyone has good information to share.
