I do personally think its an attention thing, but yet a vet visit wouldn't hurt with the new information you have. They might be able to narrow something down for you. Also ShadowRescues posted some great ideas. Esp with the baby food. I know it might sound a little weird but cats can...
I meant to add if ultimately you end up sheltering him, which I don't encourage really, there are many no kill shelters in the Denver area. I'm not a fan of shelters, I would hope he could find a great new home but if you have no recourse go to a no kill one like Rocky Mountian Feline Rescue...
Are you still interested in trying to rehabilitate him? or has it reached the point where you cannot continue with him? I would encourage blood work from your vet. I don't know why they didn't look for a deeper cause when a physical exam didn't reveal anything... hmmm Most likely from what you...
Good to hear things are getting closer between you two, i am sure it will accelerate even more in time. I know the temptation might be there on the mouse thing but there are lots of life like and moving mouse toys out there that might be better. Mice, even when store bought can have a variety of...
LOL my cat hates water. I even bathed him as a kitten and it never took. So that is good for you. I'm not sure if you have the shower/tub combo... but if you do, I have seen people suggest keeping it filled with like an inch of water. It might not persuade him out of there, but I doubt he will...
the kicking is a defensive and attack technique. He will always do it lol esp with toys that have catnip. Some cats don't like the pick up thing, but as he gets more used to you, you can try little spats of picking up, try to distract him with lots of petting and scratching while you do it. Once...
It sounds like he is under some stress. From how you said the moving instigated it originally. Perhaps he is still under some other form of stress from something else. I can encourage just cleaning it real good, cause the smell tends to bring them back, and keeping the litter clean. I'm not sure...
Definitely make sure you are cleaning the areas thoroughly. The smell of pee can bring him back to those areas. With my cat, when he had similar issues, it always seemed to be on clothes or other similar cloths, so try to avoid things like that on or near the floor (My issue, clothes on the...
I don't know if it would be too much work but if you fear him falling in because of the water you could always shut off the water to the toilet (under the toilet) flush it (allowing the water out), then turn the water back on to let a little back into the bowl of the toilet then shut it off...
Great to hear! Just keep on observing her litter box habits. If you find her not pooping and her tummy starts to feel more plump then normal or hard take her to the vet. There maybe some back up. It does sound like she is passed the worst of it though. Again, best of luck for you. Glad the kitty...
I put grannick’s bitter apple on my plants, it won't hurt the plant and believe me, they will take one sniff, maybe a bite, and it will be one of the last times they do. At least in my experience. The look on my cats face the first time he bit into that was amusing for me. Not so much for him...
Another thing you might want to consider is taking something each of your cats has had a lot of contact with and sharing it with the opposite cat. Like a blanket for pillow or something. Cats associate scents with who their family is. Perhaps giving your kitten attention, petting and what not...
Perhaps she is just a little extra tired. From how you describe it I can't speak to anything in particular. Maybe just give her a couple days and if her routine and actions still seem off, go ahead and take her in. At least for your own piece of mind. You know your animal better then anyone...
I agree. It is only a week until you have to go back to the vet, stay as close to the regiment if you can. I can totally understand your concern about your kitten. Perhaps putting a little bit of water in her food, just make sure she is drinking water to stay hydrated. I'm sure your kitten will...
