    Canned food for sensitive stomach?

    My 3 year old tabby frequently vomits after eating her canned food. Sometimes it will just be once, but often she will continue to vomit until her stomach has emptied. She only throws up after eating canned food, never after dry or any other time throughout the day. We've talked to the vet about...

    Agression after other cat's vet visit

    So it took a few months, but our 2 year old and 6 month old females are now best buddies (yay!!). Today we took the kitten to the vet to get spayed. She was gone for about 10 hours, and of course came home with all sorts of strange smells. We were expecting some hissing initially from the cat...

    Poo everywhere

    Our 4 month old kitten seems to be having trouble leaving her poo in the litter box. She never had a problem before, but now 3 times in the last couple of weeks she's brought it out with her, and either it winds up on the floor or just stays in her fur and she drags her butt around to get it...

    Cable Chewing

    Our 4 month old kitten is obsessed with chewing on cables. We hide them as much as we can, but both my husband and I are IT professionals and we just have a lot of cables. We generally don't let her around cables unsupervised, but if she's in the room while we're working she'll start messing...

    I'm paranoid, could use some reassurance

    I know I'm an overly paranoid kitty mom, but I would love it if somebody could just reassure me that it is normal for my kitten to be extremely lethargic and not eating the morning after getting rabies and FVRCPC vaccinations. She got the shot about 5:30 last night, came home and ate a full...

    I am NOT a tree!

    My 3.5 month old kitten has decided it's fun to take flying leaps onto my torso when I'm looking the other way, and sink her claws in so she can climb up on my head. I'm never expecting it and it hurts like crazy! Whenever she does it I'll yell out in pain which freaks her out and she runs off...

    Eating each others' food

    I've had an only cat for a year and a half, and adopted another kitty about a month ago. We'd kept them separated until recently, and now the new kitty has free run of the house while we're at home. So now I'm suddenly faced with the dilemma of how to stop them from eating each others' food...

    When to break it up? with video link

    I have a video of my cats having a little mini-fight, and I'd appreciate anyone who is willing to look and give some advice. These two have known each other for about 6 weeks, and they are most definitely NOT friends yet. The older cat (2yrs) is finally at a point of tolerating the kitten, and...

    Kitten not learning boundaries

    Our new kitten Zoe (15 weeks) keeps play-attacking our other cat Kaylee (2yrs) and often gets carried away. Kaylee puts the smack down when this happens, but Zoe doesn't seem to respond to that at all - she just keeps on attacking relentlessly. I've read a lot about how the older cat will "put...

    So bad I'm considering rehoming.....

    For anyone who hasn't seen my other posts, about a month ago I brought home a 10 week old kitten and have been introducing her to my beloved 2 year old tabby, Kaylee. By this point my husband and I have tried every trick in the book and then some - you name it! Both cats are completely happy...

    No progress...now what?

    2.5 weeks into new cat intro and we've hit a stalemate, having made no progress in the last week despite our best efforts. Resident cat (Kaylee, 2yrs) is usually happy and carefree all day, until she sees the kitten (Zoe, 12wks). The first time they see each other after having been apart for...

    Seeing vs Smelling/Sensing

    So we're about 3 weeks in to introducing a new kitten (Zoe) to our 2 year old resident (Kaylee). Doing lots of supervised time together now. Something odd I've noticed...Kaylee seems happy as a clam when they're in the same room, until she actually sees Zoe. They can be sleeping on the couch...

    Are they playing?

    It's been almost 2 weeks since we brought our new kitten home and we've been doing a very slow intro with our resident cat (2yr old spayed female). The kitten is adapting beautifully to our home and to us, but of course the resident cat is not too happy. We're at a point now where we're giving...

    Long, difficult introductions?

    Anyone have experience with a new cat introduction that took a long time and progressed very slowly? What did you do and how did it turn out? I have a feeling we're going to have to go the distance with this one, so I would love to hear stories/lessons learned from anyone who had a long and...

    Could this be a good sign?

    We brought home a new kitten on Saturday and have her comfortably isolated from the resident cat. Both kitties are doing perfectly fine on their own. At first of course the resident cat did a lot of hissing and growling at the door, and doing a few 'scent exchanges' really sent her into hissing...

    Just need some reassurance please.

    Doing a new cat intro for the first time. Resident cat is a 2 year old spayed female and new cat is an 8 week old female kitten. We're following all the wonderful advice on TCS, keeping them separated, making resident cat our priority, etc. I know it will take a long time, but it is hard to...

    At wit's end w/ morning cat...

    Hi everyone, I haven't been to the site for a while as I've been busy - hope all is well! OK, I'm at a point where I just can NOT deal with Kaylee's morning behavior anymore. She wakes at 5:00 on the button every single day and will stop at anything to try and wake us up to. My husband and I...

    Need some input - possibly considering a second cat...

    Let me start by saying that neither my husband or myself really like the idea of getting a second cat right now. We've only had Kaylee 2 months and we don't feel any personal desire to adopt another one. We are kicking around the idea of possibly getting her a friend sometime early next year...

    Cold Water Vaporizer?

    Our 9-month-old has shown symptoms of a URI ever since we got her two months ago. She did have pretty severe symptoms (sneezing, lethargy, loss of appetite) for a few days when we first got her, but that passed quickly and ever since then she's been acting really healthy for the most part -...

    Temperature Question

    We live in a 1-floor apartment with pretty good square footage so it's very spread out. The thermostat is in the center of the apartment, where it is pretty warm. If I keep it set at 68, it gets freezing in rooms with a lot of windows (including the bedroom). The uneven temp drives me nuts...
