    My Cat Has Turned into a Bully - HELP!

    Hi all, I have two cats, Boo-3 and Bella-2. Bella has always been playful and lovable, Boo is a little more independent but lovable and used to occasionally play well with Bella. Now Boo has turned into a complete bully with Bella - to the point that Bella is biting two spots on her back (hot...

    Hot Spot

    I posted under behavior problems (see personality change in my cats) because she is licking her sore spot nonstop and I'm afraid that it is stress related. But, how do I get her to stop licking her spot? The hair is completely gone and the spot is red and feels rough around the edges. I...

    Personality Change in my Cats

    Hi everyone, My two girls (Bella and Boo) have been together two years. Bella is a lovable, playful, curious gal. Boo is more independent, not very social, a lap cat with me and plays when she is in the mood. Things have changed over the past couple of weeks and now Bella has a huge sore on...

    I'm Going Away for 4 Days - Help

    I'm sure there are threads on this subject and will look shortly. My babies are spoiled rotten and love me very much. This will be the first time I've spent more than 24 hours away from them and I'm already feeling guilty. What is the best for them? Bella is 3 months and Boo is 13 months...

    New Kitten-Now I'm Not Getting Any Sleep

    My new 12-week old, Bella, seems to think that 3:30, 4:30, 5:00, 6:00 is prime time to play with me and my other 11-month old kitten, Boo. She nibbles on my ear, licks my eyes and lightly bats my cheek in an effort to get me to play and then the two of them go at it full force playing, nipping...

    Now My Cats Are Giving Me a Nervous Breakdown

    I posted earlier about how do I know if the cats are being too aggressive - I am now worrying myself sick. Boo, the resident cat, is 11 months. The new arrival, Bella, is 12 weeks old. Boo really plays rough and sometimes Bella puts up with it, sometimes she cries out, sometimes after crying...

    Vanilla Extract

    I have been reading about putting vanilla extract under the chin and the tip of the tail of kittens. How many times a day should I do this? I'm hoping this will make the cats (I have a new addition to the family) become more loving towards each other. Thanks.

    Second kitten arrived-how do I know when playing is too rough?

    Well, Boo, my 11 month old tabby, was just welcome by my adoption of a 12-week old diluted tortie, Bella. I did what I think is the right introduction, separate rooms and slowly bringing them together. Bella is a joy - purrs constantly, very loving and very playful. The two of them play alot...

    Kitty Acting Strangely Around New Food Dish

    I bought Boo a new food and water dish - mostly because I'm adopting a new kitten in one week and want to keep things separate. However, Boo is acting oddly. When I put her food in front of her, she started scratching all around the food and water bowl and would not eat for hours. Every time...

    Why Did My Kitten Throw Up?

    My kitten, Boo, is 10 months old. She is very spoiled, very well and nourishly fed twice a day with 2 treats a day as well. Last night she threw up for the first time. I'm thinking it has to be 1 of 2 things that happened. First, she ate a bit too much catnip - the top was open and she...

    Calicos and Breeding

    I have recently learned that almost all calicos are female. My stupid question of the day is: how does the female get pregnant with calico kittens if there is no male calico to impregnante her?

    Would Adopting 2 Siblings Be Too Traumatic For My Current Kitty?

    Hi all, Me again. As you know, I decided to adopt a second kitten to keep Boo company, as well as for me. I have fallen in love with all the siblings from the litter I visited, particularly two sisters. All of these kittens, of course, are very much bonded to each other. I will not by any...

    What Sexes Get Along Better

    Okay, since I have decided to get a new kitten (which may be this week), should I pick the new addition by sex? Boo is a female. I would prefer to get another female but some people have told me two females do not get along as well as a male and female. What are your thoughts?

    New Member

    Hi everyone - I joined this site last week and have already received some really great advice. One quick question. I want to post pics but I can't seem to figure out how to get them small enough to post. I cropped as much as I could (without cropping Boo out) - is there something else I can do?

    Hi Everyone-Should I Get a Second Cat?

    Hi, I just joined this forum and I need advice on a subject I'm sure everyone has touched on at some point. I have an 8 month old female brown tabby, her name is Boo. She is spoiled rotten, plays constantly and loves my attention. Wherever I am, she is usually nearby, usually laying on top of...
