Thanks for such a fast and informative reply.  I'm glad it's nothing too serious, and thanks again for the advice. I do brush him at least once a week, but I will do my best to make it once a day.  The weather is improving so I'll expect he will be shedding a bit more, yes? His coat is very...

I really have a hard time describing this behavior so I've been reluctant to post a question about it, but I was lucky enough to catch it on video.  My cat, Samson, has a very loud purr I was trying to capture to send to a friend.  Well, I guess I got lucky. Please help me identify what is...

Plenty of toys, not really a cat tree of any kind but plenty of open furniture and he treats it all like a jungle-gym.  I've got items arranged like a staircase so he can hop up and down quickly and with ease.  He has free range of my dresser which includes a...  What do you call this thing...

Sounds like you're doing it right.  Keep up the slow and easy introduction, food is a good thing to use to bring them together, and so are toys. From what I understand, you just want to combine the kitten's presence with things that are good so the older cat associates the kitten with good...

In my experience, animals are like people in a lot of ways and being vocal is one of them.  Just like how some people just never really have much to say and others can't shut up, animals can be the same way and can often surprise you with noises you never thought they could make. Perfect...

Well, the first time I pulled him out because he was in a spot I needed.  Another time he was way in the back and I could reach him from the other end, and when I touched him he was purring so I scooped him out.  And another time I just wanted to be sure he was ok because he was under there all...

There you go. I got up from my desk to ask my sister if she wanted anything from Wendy's, and on the way to the door there he is sitting up in the living room. So I leave, and when I come back 5 minutes later he greets me at the door. Now he's all full of energy, jumping up and down the...

Yes to all of the above.

Ok, so I've had my cat home for a while now.  It's going on 2 months now.  For the first few days he went under the bed often enough before he was comfortable with the house, but every time something got the better of his curiosity he wouldn't hesitate to come out and if he didn't a little...

I read the same story, lucky for us none of the pull cords are bundled and all the ends hang loose and individually (nothing to get wrapped up in), and even so my cat doesn't play with them.  He just likes poking his head through the physical blinds to see through. In any case, he is so...

So I did talk to my boss again about him and found some interesting information. Apparently at some point Samson got into some building materials while my boss was renovating his basement and got a little sick from something.  While at the vet, the normal veterinarians had some issues, I guess...

Have been working on finding a new place to live, which might be in Tucson Arizona in the next month or two (currently in Chicago Illinois), but the landlords are kind of down to earth and relaxed.  I feel bad about it, but I don't always pay rent on time and they don't seem to mind one bit...

You know, he doesn't like boxes.  At all. He doesn't climb in them, he doesn't scratch on them, he doesn't play around them, he doesn't even really pay them any mind other than a sniff. Doesn't like to really be in anything either, prefers to be on or out in the open...

Hmm... You may be right about that one. Bengal or Savannah, eh, both have pretty cool heritage

Thanks for the all the replies and the compliments so far. Interesting to know about Ocicats not having blue eyes.  It's funny, now that you mention that almost every picture I see I notice that they have yellowish eyes. I did consider that maybe he is a farther removed generation of Savannah...

That's actually a really good idea, I'll be sure to keep that in mind!
