I am having a new problem with Dexter- he keeps peeing in the bathroom (how ironic!!) On anything of mine that is on the floor. He has been doing this for about amonth now. Dexter is fixed. We just went to the vet on Monday and they ran tests and performed a urinalysis and everything was fine...

Hey guys! I wish I could say that we have made some progress, but not so much. Things have been a little hectic at home the last few days so that hasn't helped. On my days off when I am home, we have no issues! I have been playing a little more with Dexter with his laser pointer, he has some...

Yes he is neutered. Good to know! Thanks Ann! That is what I worry about, while its not a huge deal now, I don't want him to be a big cat biting!

Recently my work schedule has changed from working nights to now working days. I am not sure if that is throwing him off or not. In our last visit to the vet, she let me know that he has gingivitis and seems like it is hereditary since he is still so young. We have been working on this, so again...

And as soon as I said this he started biting at me again! This time he it's sitting with me and I am not petting him and he starts snapping at me!

Hi! Thanks for thinking of us! I was home from work for the last couple days so we have been great! Back to work today and just got home, so far so good. I have noticed he starts biting later at night so we will see what happens tonight. Over the last couple days I have tried to play more with...

Wow! These are both very helpful! Thanks!! Both of these threads describe exactly what he is doing!

Thanks!! Yes, I do play with him; we usually play for up to 20 minutes a night before bed and for a little while after I get home from work. I do not always get to play with Dexter after work but always before we go to bed, it has become our routine :) He also has toys out during the day, a...

I have adopted a kitten, he is about 7 months old now, about four months ago. I have been very lucky with Dexter! He is very sweet and loving but within the last few weeks he has begun biting! It  is not hard enough to hurt, but I am not sure if it is a behavior I can do anything about. He will...

Wow!! So much info and advice!! Thanks everyone! So what kind of supplies should I have for when my kitten comes home? I know a litterbox, food and water bowls, cat tree and some toys anything else I should have?

Everyone is being so helpful! Thanks!!! I hope this does not sound too basic, but- where will my new kitten sleep? I grew up with dogs that were crate trained and that was where they slept (in their "rooms" ); is that the same for cats, or do they get a special cat bed? Do they need to sleep...

Thanks!!! are there any differences in male or female cats? Do they have different chararistics or personalities according to the sex? I know each and every cat will have their own special personality, but anything specific to each sex?

Thanks for the kind words and advice!! Any advice on "kitty proofing" my apartment? I've read to keep laundry room doors closed since they like warm places, and to keep any drains (like in the kitchen sink) covered- are those both good things to do?

Hi there! I have been trying to decide on a pet for myself, and with a little bit of research, I think a cat is the pet for me! However, I have never owned a cat before and do not know a whole lot about them, other than what I have read online. If anyone has any advice for me, that would help...
