Thanks for the link. Yes, it's pre-grief. It's not the first time something like this happens, my father died after a long and painful disease and when he finally passed I was actually numb because I had already gone through the sharper period of grief, so to speak. It's not a healthy attitute...

I know that blaming myself doesn't help any but it's difficult not to. I did notice she hadn't been jumping on my lap as she was wont to do but I assumed she just got tired of that. Since she was eating very well and there was nothing wrong with her feces or urine, and she did have blood tests...

Last night s I was about to go to sleep I heard a strange noise in the living room, I rushed only to find my 4 year old female girl panting heavily on the floor and clearly in acute distress. So I immediately took her to the animal hospital where she was given oxygen and kept overnight in a...

Interesting theory, for sure! But my resident cat gets along with humans (or at least with me) then with the 6 month kitty. I've known to say that I don't meow back of cats because I am unusure of what I am saying, for all I know I am greatly offending them!

I got Alia when she was 2 months old, she is now soon to turn 6. I had so many issues getting my residing cat to accept her (and it is an ongoing affair, getting better though) that I had not have time to entirely figure her out. Alia is very gentle, extremely playful, and a purring...

That is so adorable! I once stepped on my cat's tail, it must have hurt a lot since she screamed and ran away but in half an hour she was curled on my lap as per usual. I felt so loved.

I know how stressful it is, to be unable to pick up your cat! One keeps imagining emergency situations of all sorts. I've been in the same situation with a stray who oddly enough is a lapcat (just jumped on my lap as I type) and was jumping on my lap within three days of being brought home...but...

I have the  same problem with a kitty that is around that age, she will be turning 6 months soon and boy, does she bite! She was always into biting but it is getting out of hand. Not only does she chomp on my hands/wrists as she keeps at it and has to be literally dragged away. It is partially...

@Marian, aw, love it how your cats are slumbering together! So adorable. I wonder if mine will ever become that friendly with each other. I'd love it but for the time being I'm glad they can sort of coexist with some supervision. I am still afraid of letting them together on their own but soon...

Time for an update! My cats still fight every now and then but they spend a lot of time together without any strife. Right now they are on opposite sides of the sofa, quietly ignoring each other which is wonderful. Here they are: It may not seem much but I am thrilled, if they can just live...

Thanks for your replies! My big cat will often roll on her back but if I dare touch her belly she'll come at me all claws and teeth. Seems that I am supposed to admire her belly and nothing more :P

Today for the first time the big cat jumped on my lap while the little kitty was around. Normally the big cat is on permanent alert mode whenever the kitty is present and won't jump on my lap or even play. I was very happy. Also, the kitty is perhaps calming down a bit...she finally started to...

I am having issues integrating my kitty with my big cat and this is more or less the way they act...but rougher, I think. There is more chasing around, too, but they do take turns now and there is less growling and hissing. If the OP's cats are playing then I have great hopes for mine! Beautiful...

Great advice above I'll just add that whatever you do do not respond to the meowing or it will get worse. I feel your pain, my big cat took to howling late at night and the few first times I thought she was sick or hurt and got out of bed. Big mistake, the moment she realized the howling worked...

I agree with posting flyers. I always check the missing pets flyers if I come across one and using the internet is a great tool as well.

Seems like you're doing the right thing. My big cat also was a housecat at one point, I know because she still had a collar with a tiny bell around her neck when she was found. Not to mention she would approach me, cautionally but still, when I fed her on the streets. But she did pick up some...

I was in a similar situation, my big cat is a former stray as well and she was the sole owner of the apartment for three years. I thought she would like having a tiny friend and added a 2 month old kitty...the result was sheer and utter chaos. The big cat did not take to the little one as I...

Has he taken the cat to the vet already? If not he should get to it asap.

I'll try to tire the kitty before their time daily time together to if it helps. They are getting much better although I doubt they will ever be good friends. Both cats have their 'safe' places, kitty hides under the sofa and the tea table while the big cat perches royally on shelves. I just...
