    Help needed - Redirected Aggression since an event almost a week ago.

    I am in the midst of a redirected aggression event, almost a week ago..  My sweet neutered 2 yo male went nuts after an aggressive neighbor cat went by the window. He attacked the other resident cat 2yo spayed female several times - once where the attack was serious enough that she wet herself...

    Happy cat that bites

    I have a similar problem but she is not being aggressive, her nips are more like pleasure bites.  She gets so excited, purring sooo much that she can't contain her love.  As she gets ready for me to sit down and cuddle, she will consider nibbling my ankles and as she sits beside me she considers...

    My cats favorite canned food is.......

    Chicken (Chicken Frick A Zee).  It actually looks very good - just meat juices and some of the regular additives.  It is canned in Thailand for Weruva.  The male will eat it but he sometimes tries to eat only some in order to get dry.  He is so addicted to dry, will march over to the female's...

    My cats favorite canned food is.......

    It has been a struggle after reading all the dos and don'ts.  They (Peter and Sophie) seem to like Cats in the Kitchen - chicken (made in Thailand) and sometimes Merrick - Cowboy Cookout.  The male really likes dry so have to ration him - dry Fromm and Origen.  Someone mentioned foods from other...

    Where did you learn all the things you know about cats?

    As kid, we always had pets. The first was a cocker spaniel that my parents brought from England to South America. Eventually we and the dog settled in Canada. My parents loved animals but the care matched the knowledge in society. No one worried too much about the environment or diet and...

    wet vs dry vs packaged cat food

    I am sure this question has been asked before but I am having so much trouble feeding my cats the right amount of the "right food".  I have read the articles about raw and its virtues (the breeder recommends).  I have saved a copy of Lisa Pierson's info on cat nutrition.   I have looked for good...

    Good quality dry food

    I have a 1 yo neutered male indoor cat who is just crazy for dry food.  I would like to have him eat both wet and dry but he will hold out for the dry.  I use a good quality dry (Fromm, Origen and a couple of others - mix). Lots of water available.  I have been using Tiki Cat chicken, Cat's in...

    Dry food vs wet

    Yes that's why I am so confused.  I have been using some of pure chicken wet (Tiki) and then add one of the pate types (Merrick - chicken, truducken).  The thing is they (cats) almost boycott the wet until the dry comes.  Does your cat let you brush his teeth?  The Orgen/Orjen  dry is supposed...

    Dry food vs wet

    My 2 one year old cats have a definite preference for dry food. I was being conscientious - buying good quality wet and giving one feeding of Orjen. While in the vet with one cat, the vet said she could feel hard stool and advised me to give more fiber. She also commented that kitty's...

    Maximum number of cats

    I have 2 1 year old cats. One very calm and easy going (male) other kitty female who behaves like diva. She doesn't like him and will not play other than fight. Would another cat (kitten) help or hinder the situation?

    kitties fighting for top position

    I have 2 purebred Siberian 1 year old kittens/cats, male and female both neutered.  The female enjoyed being an only cat and resented the arrival of the male - she was 14 wks and he was 10.  It took quite a while for a truce.  There have been moments of calm with them but overall the female...

    lying across my neck

    I wonder how many owners have this experience:  when I brought my kittens home one was 14wks and then a month later the next kitten joined at 10wks.  They both would lie across my neck to seek comfort and to sleep.  Now at 8m and 6m they continue to do it.  The 6m kitten is now 12lbs and at that...
