Thanks everyone for your replies. I just wanted to give an update in case anyone was wondering. So we did end up staying with our Vet (who has always been very good up to this) and worked with another person on staff. They called out for a few second opinions and ended up deciding on going with...

Thanks for the reply. Today was very busyor I would have responded sooner. Her fever hovered around 103.3... which they said was a "mild" fever. Cats must have a higher normal temperature than humans? If I had 103 fever I would be flipping out. No anti-biotics. She has not been drinking, but...

Hi all. We have a 9-10 year old cat named Kitty. Since last Thursday (today is a week) she has been showing increasingly alarming symptoms. Last week started with general lethargy. By the weekend (memorial day weekend, of course) it was severe lethargy and not eating. We also suspected she had...

I've posted a couple times on here and you guys have been really helpful. I'm hoping I can ask for advice again. Backround: We've had our 9yo female (Kitty) for about 5 years. Recently we got a male kitten (who is now 3mo), Seamus. We introduced them slowly. Now they are able to be in the same...

Thanks for your replies! That makes me feel better hearing about similar issues with other cats as well. We definitely do feed them separately (Seamus still in my office where we have been keeping him) and Kitty back in her normal spot in the kitchen (whereas we were feeding her for a while...

I've posted before and you guys have been really helpful. I have a 12 week old male kitten, Seamus, that we got in early October. We did a slow introduction to our 9 year old resident cat (Kitty, female), following the advice as closely as we could (feeding near the door, scent swapping, room...

Thanks for the reply! So after a couple of weeks we had a couple nights where we briefly introduced them and got Kitty to "relax" by basically keeping the treats flowing while they were within sight of each other. They actually got to the point where they were both in the open and about 2-3...

So we have had our kitten, Seamus, for about a month now. We are mostly keeping him in our office since our 9 year old current cat, Kitty, is very territorial. I previously posted on here to ask for advice and what we learned from that was to scale it back and slow down. At this point we are...

We have a Feliway diffuser, yeah. And she does eat with him in sight through the crack, but it seems like we are stuck there. She was really mad when I cracked that door open further. Think I could carry him around the house?

Sorry for the 1000 questions, but I am wondering if it is bad for Kitty to SEE the Kitten? It has happened a few times now that kitten escapes when we are trying to go into the room. Worse: earlier I was playing with the kitten in his room and the door was cracked (from when I tried to give...

Minor breakthrough! Kitty was able eat her dinner while the Kitten's door was cracked and he was eating.

So... I am not sure what I'm doing either. But having done a ton of research into cat intros over the past month I can say one thing that might help George is the Feliway diffuser? Hopefully someone else has some advice

Thanks. Yes you're correct. Under a week. It's very hard though because we love Kitty a lot and hate to see her unhappy, and are also very upset at the thought that the sudden lack of socialization could hurt the little guy in the long term. Since he has already beaten us a few times and...

Unfortunately Kitty scratched the GF again tonight, which is not normal for her at all. Is it possible that this cat will never accept a newcomer? Shouldn't a tiny kitten be easy to accept? To me it seems that Kitty is scared about not being the dominant cat, which is silly because she is...

My GF has had her cat, Kitty (8-9 yo female, former stray) for about 5-6 years. We have lived together for 3 years. We decided to get a kitten (6 mo male) to try to keep Kitty company. I was worried Kitty wouldn't like it because she seems so unique. She is almost like a person. ALWAYS has to...
