I've had her for about seven weeks, and the crying has been every single night of it. I don't recall any recent routine upheavals... I thought maybe it was just confusion at the new place, and maybe it still is, but I thought it would have stopped by now... I'll try getting a more solid bedtime...

I don't think it's the light thing-- I had a lamp lit almost since she moved in (part of an incubator), and she cried anyway. Plus, the crying usually starts earlier in the night before I'm going to bed, when all the lights are on, and continues into the sunny morning. She also is unaffected...

I've been fostering a cat that came to my local shelter as a feral. While she's made great leaps and bounds in her trust of people and general attitude, she still stays up all night crying. Since she was at the shelter, no one knows whether she cried at night there or not. She has food...

My cat's feel look really dry and flakey. She's always hated it when I touch her feet (to inspect her claws), but now I wonder if it's because they hurt? Is this because of some diet deficiency? She's on an indoor-only formula, because she's recently become an indoor cat. Or is the flakiness...

Ahhh!!! I'm so excited!! Tonight I got myself a bowl of cereal as a midnight snack and feral kitty leaps onto my bed to check it out. She climbed halfway into my lap to sniff the bowl, and being wholly amazed at such boldness I couldn't help but offer her some milk off my spoon. Then I tell her...

I'm currently fostering a feral kitty in addition to caring for my own cat. My cat was bottle-fed and hand-raised by me and my cousins since she was about three weeks old. She's a giant cuddle bug with people but not with cats. Feral kitty LOVES my cat, but I can't figure out if she likes me...

The kittys are doing great! Earlier today we were all within two feet of each other, and someone was purring. So either my kitty's starting to like the new cat, or the new cat's getting used to me. Either way, purring=good. Now I just gotta go get this new lil' firecracker some toys. She's...

I know, I know-- they should have met in a neutral space and whatnot. But I was in a hurry (horrible, I know!) and just dropped her off in my room, opened the crate and had to leave. When I came back, they were cowering in different corners. When the new cat saw me, she bolted and tried to hide...

I have one cat (four years old) who's never been very good at relating to other cats. She was bottle-raised, and very rarely cuddled, played with or groomed her sister whom she'd lived with her whole life. She, however, adores people. We recently moved, just the two of us. Right now I'm...
