I'm not too concerned about this situation, because we will only be babysitting for 2 days.
A friend of mine needs someone to watch her cat Howard while she is out of town. She asked me because she knew I can't say no to another cat :)
My cat Opeo has never met Howard. Both males are neutered...
UPDATE!
I'm happy to say, after a few trial sized bags of new foods, and about a month of waiting, Opeo is on a normal routine again! I no longer feel the need to monitor and count his visits to the litter! We've decided to go with Newman's Own Natural Cat Kibble. He loves the stuff, and the...
Haha, I've got to say, I love the expressions on their faces! My cat just rolls around when ever I put a sweater on him. And hats? Forget it haha..
You're lucky they're so patient!
I was very worried about introducing my kitten to my roommates' adult cats.
We started with a few minutes of supervised "interaction" (baby cat would stick his fur up and bounce around..cutest..thing...ever..) and the other two would get close enough to smell a little. Each time we did this...
With all things considered, it looks like my best option is to get rid of his yucky foods. Hopefully with a little transition to a higher grade nom, Opeo will be back to his normal routine
Thank you so much for your advice!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! It's so hard to find reputable cat food that's affordable. I really appreciate the advice, and hopefully my cat will be back to a normal digestive routine soon
I have thought about adopting another cat. I'm just worried that they won't get along. Opeo is at that age where he isn't a kitten anymore, but he still acts like a little kid. I don't know if I would be better off adopting a cat younger than him or an adult cat, maybe 3 years+.
The funny thing...
My cat used to do the same thing when he was younger. When he was about 9 months old, I bought a harness and leash for him! He didn't take much to actually "walking" with us outdoors, but that way we could take him outside and hold onto the leash, with no fear of him bolting away.
It really did...
Are you able to give any attention to the mean boy?
My grandmother had two cats and her situation was almost exactly like yours, except the mean male cat did not direct his violence only to the other cat, he attacked people as well. My great aunt had to get 4 stitches after being attacked by...
If you've read my post in Health about Opeo, you're probably wondering what I've done to this poor kitty.
On top of being the Poop King, Opeo also seems to have separation anxiety, or at least something similar. For example, everyday I go to work around the same time. Opeo knows this, and will...
My cat Opeo (1 year, healthy weight) POOPS. ALL. THE. TIME! We have been living in our new apartment (he used to live with my roommates' cats, now he is by himself, and happy!) for about 3 months. For the past 4 weeks or so, he has been pooping upwards of 4 or more times a day. And believe me...
