I don't know if this will help but I had a similar problem with one of my cats. I brought her home from a shelter. I tried the same brand food that she had there and diarrhea developed. I called the shelter and they said to just give her time....it was from nerves. I then tried a different brand...
Welcome,
You and your husband are so good hearted to have rescued Calie. She has certainly come a long way. How does she get along with your other 2 cats?
Hi Artemis,
Welcome to you and Monk. He is very handsome. I've never seen the color change. It's great of you to have adopted him. It's also good to be a dog and cat lover. I've had both throughout my life and they're great. How old is monk now. Do you have any other pets.
Since your cat seems quite happy, I would not risk bringing in a second unless you have a strong desire for another. A second cat may or may not get along. I've had periods in my life with only one and the bond between us was very, very strong.
Please let us know what you decide.
Yes, stop freaking out The fact that you've come home at times and found them peacefully together is a great sign BUT it takes a while and there will be some problems along the way. When you read the stories of others, please keep in mind that all situations are different. Just look at the whole...
How long have you had the kitten? If you are new to each other, he is going thru a stage that hopefully will pass. He needs to settle in and develop a routine. Also, is he active during the day? If he's alone all day, he's looking to play and get love and attention , then, at night.
I would first suggest that you let a vet have a look at Lexi. If he has never gone out of his litterbox before, he may be sick. That may be why Toby who apparently has always been aggressive, is being more so with Lexi. Please keep us posted.
It definitely seems that Boo and Rosi are doing better. They play and have "supervised" interaction. I wouldn't feel bad about Rosi staying upstairs unless she seems depressed. Is she eating normally and otherwise Happy. If so, she's OK with upstairs. Also, it may turn out that you can increase...
I definitely agree with you. The bathroom is not good or a basement they are both afraid of. I know that some stores have high room separaters used for dogs. You might want to check that online. If you have a Home Depot or similar store near you, they may have some suggestions. You mentioned...
I totally agree. Your new kids need to be separated and introduced in "neutral territory" for short periods, while you supervise. Both have been through a lot of stress and everything is new to them. I've adopted 2 or more cats in the past and each situation was different. Some became close and...
I would give Rocky more time because he's already been through a lot and the fact that he is friends with you, would be more trauma if you took him back. You didn't say how long you've had him, but I had a similar situation many years ago when my newly adopted cat came home and didn't get along...
You have every right to show off I think it's great that Trixie is grooming Pixie. They hit it off so well and most of the time, an introduction and acceptance takes a while. I've had intros that never turned into acceptance, just tolerance.
Congrats
One neighbor, in particular, is very difficult. I will follow your advice and explain about TNR. I doubt it will give her any compassion, but it may just make her think more about these beautiful cats
