So I went shopping last week, and picked out a dry food for my cats. In the store, I passed the dog food, got to cat food, and picked one that looked good for them. Brought it home and fed as usual. I just put a heaping tablespoon mixed in with their canned food. I was busy, so my husband fed...
Break it up means we separate them so they can both calm down.
I tried as Furballsmom suggested, and at first she sat and ignored him. The she went up, sniffed him, and walked away. Lion is definitely nervous around her. She walked by him a few times, and then swatted. Lion ran, and she chased...
Hmmm..I’ll have to think on that. I don’t want Lion to get stressed out. It took him a couple of months not to slink away, which only encouraged her attack. I guess we’ll have to see what happens after the swat and hiss…
Quick background: last November, took in a very young mother (Bandit) and her kitten (Venom) who had been living outside. Our other cat (Lion) likes other cats, and was happy to meet them. Bandit, understandably, was not thrilled with him. We did the usual keeping them separate, changing places...
Update time! The cats have settled in, but Bandit is still sometimes stalking Lion, so we don’t do any unsupervised visits. Venom gets the run of the house most of the time, since he’s good with both Bandit (his mom) and Lion. Lion is delighted to have a playmate, and they get on very well. We...
Hi again! We’ve been site swapping and face rubbing, and interchanging Venom between Bandit and Lion. Everyone seems fairly relaxed. I’m waiting on a folding wall we ordered before we start close feeding. We’ve done some on opposite sides of a closed wooden door, and a closed door that has a...
LOL we have 2 rooms the cats can be placed in that have water, litter pans etc. The rest of the house is open concept, so if there’s a cat out, one of those doors needs to be open for litter access. My husband got up and fed the cats this morning, letting me sleep in, and then went to play golf...
I forgot about cat music…I’ll do that! Harri is already spayed, we brought her in shortly after we got her. My son had Lion sleeping in his room, and Harri came in and laid down on the other side of his room for a bit. Don’t know if she realized he was there, but we’re calling it a win.
Thanks. Lion does have canned food that I always add water to, and a few options for water around the house. The reason I’m considering rehoming Venom is because he is more flexible with other cats (the other home also has a cat), and because she’s harder to find a home for since she’s now a...
So we have Lion, approximately 8 years old (give or take a couple of years)…who likes other cats. He was the newcomer a couple of years ago. Our resident cat at the time was not happy with him, but within 3 months, could tolerate him without supervision. That resident cat passed away almost a...
Hi again! All is going well! Kitten got distemper vaccine and flea and ear mite treatment. Mom got spayed and is recovering well and quickly. She also got her vaccines and microchip. The rescue vet suggested we wean the kitten, who is judged to be about 12 weeks old. He eats very well, but we...
The problem is we had already talked about the cost of another cat, and with my son's college applications coming up (theater...he has to apply to 20+ schools twice - once for academic acceptance, once for the theater school) plus travel expenses for auditions...swinging a 3rd cat could be...
Our other cat was a stray found in our cellar. He was dirty, had ticks, and needed surgery for bladder stones. Once we were able to trap him, he was very friendly, after he had the treatment he needed, and no owner was found, he came home to us. He seems very open to other cats, so I’m thinking...
