Ok, the details:
Dot is my resident cat. She is spayed and 7 years of age. She's a real anxious scaredy cat type. I rescued her as a kitten who had been hit by a car. As a result she had her tail amputated and is not a strong (or maybe comfortable is a better word) jumper. She's little and...
I'm really sad because after 6 months of trying to integrate a cat I rescued , and now consider my pet, with my resident cat I have had to make the tough decision that the two can not coexist.
I'm so torn up about it and have been crying a lot. I just can't see any other option-- I've tried all...
Unfortunately my room does not have a door. Did I mention I live in a bi-level loft. All open concept. I didn't put the newbie upstairs because I figured at some point she could jump on the ledge of the retaining wall next to the stairs and get below. (My resident cat had her tail amputated...
The new cat was pregnant when I got her. I had a spay/terminate performed on her and she was recovering for a week at my condo waiting for her stitches to be removed.
As a result I had NO idea how athletic she was until now.
Each day it's kind of a new discovery as to how fast she can zoom...
Background:
I am hoping to adopt a stray/abandoned cat.
I took her to the vet got her fixed, tested and immunized.
During that time my resident cat was at my parents. I finally brought my cat home and she has the run of the upstairs while the new cat has run of the downstairs. (I live in a...
Thank you all for the replies.
I brought my resident cat, Dot, back home on Monday.
I had to put her upstairs only because she is not a jumper and I've noticed the little newbie, Daisy, is quite energetic. I was afraid she may have climbed over the retaining wall next to the stairs and made...
The new cat was a pregnant stray who appeared on my back patio. I know nothing about her
I live in a condo complex with a lot of people moving in and out and I feel like she was possibly abandoned because she was a) very friendly b) had no battle wounds and was pretty clean and c) immediately...
I'm going through the process of introductions right now.
I've put my resident cat in a secure room upstairs and the new cat has the run of the place downstairs (I live in a split level loft, so those were my only options.)
I have a gate separating the two levels. I've fed each cat on the...
Hi all,
I'm looking for some words of encouragement regarding cat introductions because as of right now, I feel hopeless and like I've made a really big mistake.
Long story short, I started feeding a pregnant stray on my patio. I already have a 7 year old indoor cat.I decided to spay...
A stray cat recently took up residence on my back patio. I gave in and fed her. Only to discover she was pregnant.
I made an appointment with the vet to have stray cat spayed/terminated. I took my existing cat to my parents so I could bring the stray in prior to her appointment and not worry...
