    silent cat meows

    Yes, she definetely loves you very much. I have a cat that does the same thing. He meows only very seldom but when he does, you know he's truly happy. My other cat is a regular motor mouth, meow's constantly, all the time, and talks to anybody that comes over to visit. His meow's just don't...

    In solitary

    Not to freak you out but it could take as long as 6 months. I've never had your particular situation but I did have something a little similar about a year ago. We adopted 2 males cats from the shelter a little over a year ago. At the shleter, both cats were very friendly. When we brought them...

    Fat cat vs. Skinny cat feeding issue

    Javern - I like your idea about building a feeding station for the smaller cat but how do you keep the smaller cat from eating the bigger cat's food? nil - We already feed them in separate rooms but they still eat from each other's bowl. Another thing. I always felt from day one that the food...

    Bells on collars

    Both my cats have bells and it doesn't seem to bother them in the least. Sometimes it drives us crazy(especially in the middle of the night) but for them, they could care less. Not sure if it will work in regards to the birds but it shouldn't drive your cat crazy,

    Fat cat vs. Skinny cat feeding issue

    Hello everyone. It's been awhile since I posted. Anyway, in short, I have 2 male cats that we adopted from a shelter a year ago, both are approx 7 years old. Our problem is one cat is now slightly overweight while the other is underweight . Neither cat starts eating when we first put their...

    Should we neutur our cat?

    I appreciate the replies and it confirmed what I already believed, now I need to convince hubby. Also, we've already learned the hard way about "spraying", we thought it was just part of the adjustment period in a new home.

    Should we neutur our cat?

    We adopted a 5 yr old male from the Humane Society 2 weeks ago and was told he was neutured. We found out today that he's NOT neutured. I feel we need to have this done, however, my husband says that since he is not an "outdoor" cat, we have nothing to worry about. Also, I've also heard that...

    Unneutered male

    We adopted 2 neutured & declawed cats from the Humane Society almost 2 weeks ago. The smaller cat is very hateful to the bigger cat (though he's a very sweet cat to people). The bigger cat never fights back, he just runs and hides. I really believe that if the bigger cat would stand up for...

    Abandoned diabetic cat

    Update: His owner did in fact call me on yesterday and told me she had just gotten back into town. She told me that she had left the cat in the care of a "friend" who is now renting her house and the friend said that the cat had been missing since last weekend. The "friend" claimed to have...

    Feliway Plug-ins

    Thanks for all the replies. After checking out the price and reading a lot of mixed reviews (from the site & others), I've decided not to try this right now. If I really thought it would work, then it would be money well spent, however, my little "fraidy" cat seems so disturbed that I doubt...

    Help With A Cat I Adopted 3 Months Ago???

    Rain(bow) - Best of luck to you. We are in the same boat with a cat we adopted 1 week ago. The little cat is afraid of everything and has spent the last 24 hours in a little cubbie hole in our garage. We've tried everything to coax her back inside to no avail. We finally went ahead a moved her...

    Abandoned diabetic cat

    I suppose no news is good news. We talked to the vet earlier and she said there was no change in Humphrey. He's still sleeping while getting the IV fluids. The vet was going to run a few additional tests and call us tonight. We certainly appreciate all your prayers. Taterbug - I would love it...

    Feliway Plug-ins

    Some of you may remember my other thread about how we adopted 2 male(neutured) cats last Sunday and one cat has been a real bully to the other (who refuses to fight back). The vet suggested we buy "Feliway plug-ins". I noticed it's a little pricey, however, we don't mind if it would solve our...

    Two new kids on the block

    Hi all! We just adopted two new guys from the Humane Society on Sunday. First, we have "Victor" who looks just like a miniature panther. Then, we have "Tux"(short for tuxedo and he looks just like his name implies). We're having some "aggression" issues which I posted about in "Behavior" but...

    Abandoned diabetic cat

    Hi everyone. We adopted two male cats from the Humane Society on Sunday, we intended to adopt only one but you know how that goes. Naturally, we know that means more $$$ in the long run but that's fine with us, we feel we can handle it. We are having some issues with our two new guys which I've...

    Aggressive Male

    Thanks for the idea's. Right now, we still have them separated but I'm not sure that is going to help in the long run. I'm starting to think that maybe it's not so much the aggressive cat's fault as much as it is the other cat who simply won't attempt to fight back at all. I know that cat's...

    Aggressive Male

    Hello everyone. I need to tell you first of all that I don't have much experience with cats at all so this is practically my first experience. This past Sunday, my husband went to the Humane Society and adopted two male cats. He chose them because they were the two that seem to be the...
