I just got back from the vet with our 6 year old male short hair. He had his vaccinations brought up to date, and he had a clean bill of health, except that the vet recommended a tooth cleaning because his gums were starting to become slightly inflamed. The situation did not seem very dire...

thanks for the help everyone!

ok, so, wondering if anyone has any links on cat nutrition on how much of their diet should be composed of fats,fiber, ect. and about how many calories ect they should be eating per day. the reason I ask, is because my cat i have had for almost 5 years would be fed a high quality wet food in a...

anyone have any thoughts? by leaving them out and having an occasional serious spat, is it doing more damage than keeping them both isolated?

Well, its been several weeks since I introduced a few month old flame point siamese into our home and to our 25lb very large 5 year old male orange tabby domestic shorthair. the flamepoint was a rescue, and due to his behavior and the location he was picked up, it appears he was abandoned when...

UPDATE: Well, things are about the same, the will sniff eachother, but any extened contact and beefy hisses and tries to box nailehn. and then nailehn gets pissed and they have to be seperated. at this point, the siamese, nailehn, just wants to be with the family and is tired of being cooped...

Yeah, i picked up the products at a local petco, expensive but it seems worth it. beefy has not been agressive, but rather, defensive. the flamepoint got out earlier this morning, and there was no negative behavior from either in the brief encounter. Nailenth bolted from the door right to the...

UPDATE: I wasn't sure what to use to clean the spray, so I used chlorine bleach and lots of water followed by some antibacterial soap. it got rid of the smell(prolly not to the cats nose). I purchased some felaway today, and spritzed it on the area where he sprayed and several key places...

UPDATE: Well, thanks to how slippery and crafty the flame point is, he snuck out of the bedroom on a couple occassions, which resulted in scent exchanges...so far, here is the negative behaviors: when he darted out, the siamese went to a stationary bike that beefy normally rubs his cheeks on...

yes, it had been only a week since he had been fixed, beefy never actually touched or sniffed his rump, the start of the negative behavior was from beefys wiskers brushing the tip of the flame points tail. I did rush things too much at first, obviously. since they both were so friendly around...

UPDATE!!! Yesterday I visited my sister, and i brought with me a section of the twine from beefys scratching post. the flame point showed no agression when i gave the twine to him, instead continued to purr and mark me and the twine with his cheeks. I watched him interact with my sisters two...

my cat makes a noise right before he is about to sprint as well...it sounds like he is saying "marumph"...starts as a meow and ends in what sounds like a child grunting. he uses that perticualar vocal before sprinting from one room to another when he is in a playfull mood. I have heard my cat...

My cat tells me about everything, incuding when he needs to use the litterbox. He will meow at me with a very perticular mew before he has to go no1 or no2(he uses a differant meow when he has to pee than when he needs to go no2, and also a differant whine when his litterbox is dirty). He is...

he was never to a shelter, the local animal shelters and pounds in the area refuse to take cats. a friend of ours runs a non profit cat rescue program out of her house and works with local animal shelters,vets, and local families to find out if strays are lost pets or abandoned, and if they are...

Yes, they are seperated now. the flame point has been staying with my sister the last couple weeks, and after the rather hostile meeting, well, I am not sure I want to try another attempt...the flame point is very hostile towards beefy to the point of even being hostile towards my sister when...

It didn't go so well,lol. I have posted here before looking for a breed that would get to similar size of my current kitty. He is a domestic short hair who is rather large for a mix breed. he is 24lbs right now, and is not over weight. Anyway, a local cat rescuer with the help of my sister...

well, I have been doing more research, and I am leaning towards a few differant breeds...I am looking at Siberians, Norwegian Forest Cats, or Ragdolls. They all seem to get larger, and would be a good fit in the house. I personally would love a bengal, ocicat, savannah, siamese, or abby...my...

my cat hollers during spring days because he wants to go outside, but he also complains for about 2-3 minutes before going number two...regardless of how clean the litterbox is... the complaining isnt as frusterating as his other habbit...he waits untill i get finished scrubbing down the cat...

that used to happen frequently with my cat, he had a very sensative tummy and it has taken a solid year and lord knows have many differant kinds of cat food to find a couple types that work with him...after I found a food his tummy did well with, he stopped having the soft stools and no more...

thanks for the tips! sleeping area is a no go though, our computers are in the bedroom, its impossible to ensure he never ventures near the bed. unfortunately, by the time I was in the picture, he was a year old, and had not been accustomed to baths. Because of his size, it takes two of us to...
