    "Needy phase" or permanent personality trait?

    My new cat does the same thing.  He is very vocal and needy. A couple things I've tried have not worked, ignoring the behavior, I've tried clicker training him to get treats when he is quiet, (which works temporarily) and I'll admit that I have put him in the bedroom with the door shut a couple...

    Cat can't tolerate Blue Buffalo?

    My cat has had diarrhea since he's been eating Blue Buffalo Dry food.  He loves the food, gobbles it down, but it gives him smelly gas and loose stools- gross. I just switched him back to Science Diet, and I'm waiting to see if he gets better. I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this...

No other issues with him other than the meowing, and begging for food.  He is well fed, I'm trying not to over feed him because I think he's just eating out of nervousness or boredom.  I've never heard of the diffusers, maybe I'll...

    Don't think my new cat is happy

    Two weeks ago my boyfriend and I adopted a cat from the local animal shelter. His age is estimated at 1-2 years old.  When adopting him we explained to the women who worked there that we were looking for an independent, laid back cat that wouldn't mind being by himself while we were at work...
