    Losing weight in her belly

    I have a 10 yr old female who is a bit overweight in her belly. I recently was away for 4 weeks and she was home with my fiancé. He cared for her and  my other cat. I noticed that her belly bulge is smaller since I returned but she also seems more active. She's been running and playing more...

    Hissing and Growling After the Vet

    I brought me female to the vet yesterday for a routine dental cleaning and everything went well until I got home. My male cat has been hissing and growling at Jinxy since I got home with her. Teddy is never mean to her. It seems as if she smells different to him and he doesn't like that...

    Dry Flaky Skin

    My 2 kitties have dry flaky skin & it's on their fur. What can I do? The heat in our new home is forced air & so dry! The more I brush them the worse it gets. They are scratching so I guess it's not bothering them but it is really bad. Any suggestions?

    Not sure if cats are playing

    I was wondering the same thing--I have a 2yr old girl--Jinxy & a 3 month old Teddy. We just adopted Teddy a month ago. Sometimes it is hard to tell if they are fighting or playing--they roll around & wrestle--but I don't hear any growling or hissing so I guess it's playing--sometimes I do see...

    Growling Kitten

    Thanks for the advice. I am feeding Teddy IAMS wet & dry food--maybe not enough--he always has dry food & I feed him wet food 2x daily--about a tablespoon each time. I usually pick up Jinxy's food & put it out of Teddy's reach when she is done but he must watch her & as soon as she leaves her...

    I adopted a 3 month old kitten about 3 weeks ago--His name is Teddy! He has a 2 year old female sister too, Jinxy! I have dry kitten food available for him all the time & I also feed him wet food 2 times daily. Anytime I remove him from his sister's big kitty food & re-direct him to his...

    Dunking Favorite Toys In Food Or Water Bowl

    That's so funny!! I have been wondering for the past year why my little girl did that. Her big brother never does that so I didn't know why she did. It's so funny too. She will put any toy she's playing with in her water bowl or her food bowl or sometimes she puts it in his bowl!!!

    still problems with cat and new kitten

    Hang in there!! When I introduced a 4 mos old rescued female to my 6 yr old male it took a long time before they could even tolerate each other. We had them separated for the first 4 months except for an hour or 2 a day & gradually we extended their time together. After 4 months they finally...

    Aggression at feeding time

    Thanks for the advice...I am going to separate them before I even enter the kitchen to get their food prepared. I still don't understand Jinxy's aggression everytime. They both get the same food & they always have dry food available too. Sometimes I think she is still in the mind set of when...
