Sounds like you guys are doing really great! It just takes time for them to forge a relationship on their own. We are still adjusting to our new normal. Adelynn and Friedrich are both so young that they'll continue to grow and change together; every day is an adventure. I'll tell you that with 2...

Progress is good news! Every kitty is different so yeah maybe he just gets over-stimulated with the wands. The Comfort Zone diffuser is a great idea: I have never used them personally but tons of people on here just rave about them. It's always great to hear of young cat parents like yourself...

He's just gorgeous! I think your ideas are spot-on. He is certainly still adjusting and probably a little bored during the day when you're gone. My suggestions are pretty simple: enrich his environment with lots of toys he can enjoy by himself and possibly think about getting a second cat. Toys...

Friedrich is the beige/white boy and Adelynn is my all black girl.

I think the sooner the better to introduce another kitty! I just went through this recently in adopting my sweet Adelynn in June. The best advice I was given is that the new cat's personality, activity level, and needs are far more crucial in choosing one than gender or exact age. You want your...

^^^ THIS! Get her to a vet as it sounds like she's in pain and then get the sweet dear spayed so she doesn't have to go through all of this again.

Barring any health problems, it sounds to me like she's play fighting with you. Is she an only pet? I'd try wearing her out with some good, long play sessions and ignore her when she tries to play rough with you. You could also try hissing (yep like a cat) if she's too rough with you...this is...

My boy doesn't mind it, provided he's in the mood for some loving in the first place! I ruffle his fur quite a bit and he just enjoys the attention. He likes belly rubs too!

Thanks! It just takes time (more or less, depending on the cats) and patience...you could do it too!

The kids are doing great! Adelynn has settled in beautifully and Friedrich has adjusted to his new playmate. He no longer tries to play rough with me...he saves that for his sister and just loves on me :)

Yes, I'm doing it by myself. I'll try wrapping him in a towel and the calming treats too. Thanks for the suggestions!!

I thought of another suggestion! Keep the container of treats in a cupboard or drawer out of sight and when kitty gets rowdy about wanting one distract him with a toy and a fun play session. Cats are easily distracted with playtime and new, interesting toys!! There's no reason to get rid of...

ALSO, bless you for taking in "orange kitty" when he was abandoned! Rest assured that his behavior regarding treats is not at all bizarre!!

Sounds pretty normal to me! :) My only suggestions are to find a low-calorie treat (Greenies are about 1.25 per treat, for example, I'm certain there are others), keep track of how many you're feeding him, and maybe try to get him to do something to "earn" the treat. Some cats can be trained to...
