Hi, why do you want to trim the nails and put on nail caps? A healthy 4 months old kitten can take care of its own claws by using a scratching post and doesn't need nail caps! christine

A mentioned above - she probably has no idea that she could get seriously hurt if one of these dogs happens to not like cats and gets hold of her in a bad way. She might be overestimating herself because she's never lost a fight (due to not really having anyone to fight with). cjh27

Super. I wouldn't give her any either. There's nothing wrong with your cat.   How long did you try to get the two used to each other? The problem with this is that it was a long time ago and can't really tell you, how she would react today. She probably has no idea that dogs can really hurt...

A cat is sweet with humans - but difficult with other cats. Is this cat then chemically balanced towards people - but at the same time specifically chemically imbalanced towards cats? How exactly does that work? October

What is bothering me here a bit is how easily you seem "diagnose" a chemical imbalance, ruling out other possible reasons such as a lack in socialization while the cat was growing up. Or the cat being in a group that doesn't harmonize or that is too big for this specific cat. According to your...

So "chemical imbalance" doesn't really mean anything specific? It's just a general term to say a cat isn't very sociable? October

How long did this Persian cat live without any other cats before your friend tried to bring another cat into the family? Cats can **become** anti-social due to having lived for years without any contact to other cats. An example like the one about the Persian cat doesn't really tell us anything...

Hi, your kitty would benefit greatly from a foster home with kittens of approximately the same age. I would suggest getting his first vaccination on the 8th and then place him in a foster home for another 4-6 weeks after that. Personally I would choose a second male kitten from the foster...

So you don't see any correlation between anti-social behaviour towards other cats and the socialization, that a cat experienced in the crucial first few months? If cats are to live together their personalities have to fit together. If a cat is very submissive by nature and another cat in the...

Hi, are you considering getting another cat? The problem with your Delilah is that she did not grow up with her siblings and other cats. She probably doesn't know how to act socially towards other cats. If you do get a second cat this cat should be very well socialized and have always lived...

Hi, do you have a room from which you can later ban your dog? Maby a utility room? If yes I would suggest locking that door and installing a cat flap that will allow your cats free access to their food bowls while keeping the dog out. October

Hi, she'll still be a 6-month old kitty, sorry   Rowdy and crazy will not change due to being neutered, you'll have to wait untill she grows up some more! October

Hi, you can't expect two cats to get on with each other  within minutes. It will take a few days for them to get to know each other. Luckily with kittens it is very easy to get them aquainted as kittens just love to play and any other kitten as a playmate soon becomes irresistable. You do...

Hi, Birman is likely, though as your friend isn't a breeder your kitty will not bea pure breed. Don't take this thewrong way, but your kitten was seperated from its mother and siblings way too early. The minimum age for seperating a kitten from its family would be 12 weeks, an ideal age would...

Why is it so important for you that she should be a Bombay-Mix? And no, many cats have ear tuffs, that is no sign that she's part wildcat. Which is a good thing, as a domestic shorthair - wildcat hybrid would have too many wildcat genes, making such a cat not suitable as a pet. October

OK, then she is definately a pure breed Barn cat, a very rare breed indeed and very special! Most people only know the more common Farm cat, also known as a Mouser. The Barn cat has the good hearing of a barn owl, particularly when using the radar-like ears to detect the tin opener. Good...

Hi, well, she most strongly resembles a pretty black and white  .....  cat  Sorry, I can't really see any specific breed traits in her. Which is fine, as she is pretty just the way she is. October

Hi, It does seem very, very unlikely that a Bombay kitten would be abandoned at 7 weeks old by a highway ramp. And as GoldyCat pointed out - other that the black fur your cat doesn't really resemble a Bombay. I hope you're not too dissapointed that your kitty probably isn't a Bomay or Bombay...

Hi, it's a bit hard to tell on that picture, but I don't think yor cat has the straight profile of a Norwegian forest cat.

Hi, don't feel bad about it. I can understand why this concerns you while at the same time you don't really want to speak bad of your sister It doesn't sound like you can do too much about the situation. Maybe you could have one of her cats neutered as a christmas present (if they haven't...
