    Throat Biting: Should I be concerned?

    My two kitties which were first introduced about a week ago have been inseparable. They play all day together with very minimal aggression.

    I apologize if this sort of question is not allowed or if I've posted this is the wrong area. I've read a lot about this product, Feliway, on the forums here and I've got to admit I am interested. I just brought home our newest feline addition to the family today. Chester, our 15 month old...

    Hi, I'm very happy to have found this forum. My daughter and I just adopted a male cat from our local animal shelter yesterday. His name is Chester. He is approximately 15 months old and came into the shelter with his mother and siblings pretty much at birth, from what we were told. He...
