Yes, she ate a few bits of food pretty quickly afterwards.  I was at work for 10 hours today, but I saw her eat some yesterday evening after I posted and this morning.

This evening, Myri has vomited twice.  The first time was pretty good size, and the second was a few minutes later and probably an aftershock.  Both times, it was pretty watery with good sized chunks of the food I feed her and Rodney (Max Cat Adult). When I got home from Thanksgiving (first...

Myri, my new cat has been sneezing a lot again.  I expected it when I first got her and the adoption agency gave me some meds that should have taken care of the typical URI, but it's been about a month and she's started sneezing again.  Are there any other possible causes of sneezing (allergies...

I've had Myri for about a month now, and she and Rodney spend most of the time with both having the run of the house.  The problem is that Rodney (who is at least 6 months older than her and quite a bit bigger) doesn't seem to understand that Myri might not want to wrestle around as much as he...

I left them both out yesterday without any seeming ill effects, but when I'm around, at times they wrestle around to the point where Myri starts yowling.  One thing I noticed when they were close enough that I could see what was going on, it looked like Rodney licked near her ear a few times...

I'm starting to get worried. They can both have the run of the house for an hour or so, but then inevitably Rodney starts wrestling around when Myri isn't interested and she starts yowling. I got Myri to keep Rodney company, but after almost 3 weeks I still can't always have them together when...

Did you try gradually introducing them? I'm still having the same problem to some extent, though in my case it seems more like Rodney not understanding that when Myri runs away or yowls, it means she doesn't want to wrestle around any more.

Well, after a couple things I've noticed today, I have a new theory. I saw Rodney grooming Myri a bit, so it doesn't seem like he's being intentionally aggressive toward her. I think he just doesn't realize that when she runs away or yowls it probably means that she doesn't want to play any...

I decided to give open house a shot and it went OK for the most part. There was some chasing and fighting, but I'm not sure how much of it was actual aggression and how much was playing. Is there an easy way to tell the difference?

What I'm worried about for them meeting in the open house is that for these initial sessions, I want to keep a close eye on them and I won't be able to keep up with them if (for example), they run downstairs.

I've had Myri for two weeks now and am finally starting to try introducing her to Rodney. She snuck out of her room when I was going in and out a few times. The first two times, Rodney hissed at her, but the third, he just sort of followed her warily. I've also noticed that when I'm upstairs...

I just picked up Myri (my new cat) today. She just got spayed this morning, and the shelter gave me an e-collar. They said I need to keep it on her for a week, but she looks so miserable when she's wearing it. I took it off for a little bit while I was in the room with her so she could eat...

What I meant about adapting to the shoestrings thing was that I keep my shoes with strings in my closet when I'm not wearing them. I didn't get the door all the way shut a couple weeks ago, but it's been 6-9 months since I first noticed that he was eating shoestrings, and I haven't noticed any...

Well, I suppose trying a different food is worth a shot. What would you recommend?

I actually just took him to the vet last week and they didn't say anything like that. Of course, I didn't know about the blanket then, so I didn't ask them anything specific. I feed him Science Diet, if that makes a difference.

I've known for a long time that Rodney eats shoe strings and have more or less adapted to it now. However, last night, I found something else that I'm a bit worried about. He ate part of one of my blankets. Does anyone have any advice on how to keep him from doing this? It can't be good...

Rodney does that too, but I think it's because he prefers moving water. When I got one of the fountain water dishes, he didn't really push it around, but when I used any other one (including one of the water dishes with the big reservoir at the back) he would always flip them over. The one I...

So, the timing hasn't worked out the last couple days to even try getting Rodney to the groomers, but I just heard a noise and looked over to see him sitting in his carrier. He's just mocking me at this point. Hopefully he'll be as cooperative on Wednesday.

Today, I tried taking Rodney to get his claws trimmed. I've never had any particular problems loading him into his carrier before, but today, he's been giving me all kinds of trouble. I think this is the first time I've tried to take him anywhere since he's taken to scratching at the TV...
