Well, if anything, nothing changed recently at all in their lives ... it will be hard to fit another box in our room but it's worth a try I guess. Still, there is one barely 3m etersaway and the door's always open. The other one is 2meters further. And she uses both of them all day.
The...
Some might remember me, I posted here a while ago about issues with my kitten peeing on my bed.
Following some users advice, we managed to - we thought - stop that issue. Except after a while, it started again and we're really at loss here, no idea what to do.
The situation :
I have two...
My two kittens do exactly the same, except the one being groomed will usually start biting the other's face too and sometimes it may evolve into play fight. Sometimes they just stop and return to grooming. My boyfriend used to say "look, she can't decide if she feels playful or cuddly".
If it can reassure you, I took advice from a shelter and the French equivalent of the Humane Society, both told me my flat was perfectly fine for two cats, especially two kittens who would grow up together. We also met a breeder who advised us to get two kittens, considering both my boyfriend...
Not my cat and not exactly about working out but ... a friend had that young cat that once attacked me because I was walking back and forth in the room - between two of my friends working and my desk. She watched be walk with big eyes and suddenly jumped at me all claws out ... we never knew why.
It looks like they're doing great. This is our girls 10 days after they met. I think they pretty much accepted each other now. In the end, the first three days we heard a lot of growling, then it stopped and they played a lot. It took around five days more for them to groom each other and sleep...
Day 3 and a half :
Things are much much better. The two kittens were found playing together when we got home from work and they both slept with us without making a fuss about it. We still hear some growling from time to time but I think it may be because Gaia has much more energy and need for...
Thanks, StephenQ gave me these great advice too. Unfortunately, we couldn't follow step one and two properly, as our small flat doesn't allow us to isolate a kitten - except in a very small and often wet bathroom. However, we let the new kitten explore alone then we introduced them first with...
Since we had our new kitten two days ago, some update about the introduction :
We let the new kitten, Yumi, visits the living room while Gaia was locked away. We quickly noticed that Yumi was pretty relaxed about the situation, so when she had explored every corner, we put her back in her box...
I'll post here as I kind of have a similar issue with my two girls. We've got two kittens, one is 13 weeks old and we got her a month ago, the other is 11 weeks old and we got her a few days ago.
Of course, they still have to get used to each other. They still growl a bit at each other but it...
Thank you for this detailed plan. It seems like a thoughtful and great way to introduce two cats to each other and I'll try to remind that for the future.
Unfortunately, that doesn't help me at all, as I already said I can't isolate the potential new kitten anywhere. I can't believe shuting...
This too can be a false warning, my kitten gets her tail all puffed up when she's excited and playing. But you can tell when she's frightened by looking at the rest of her body : she's more tense and her back fur is also puffed up.
Well, one of the issues is, we currently have two litterbox, and one is in the bathroom. I'm not sure about removing that one from Gaia, as she's using both box for the moment.
Also I can imagine isolating the kitten in here for a few hours, but ... for days ? It must be 15 ft² and one third of...
Our Gaia ambushes us. She used to hide behind doors or corners and pounced on us as soon as we walked past her. Yesterday, she started to meow the same as when she's looking for us ... but I could see her, hiding behind a bag, waiting for her prey.
Also, that young kitten knows how to get what...
Hello everyone !
If some of you read my previous post, my partner and I took a young kitten called Gaia in our home lately. She's now 16 weeks old and she's been with us for 6 weeks. We're in love with our girl and she seems to be happy with us as well. We've always wanted to have two cats so...
There never was any hand play to avoid this kind of problem. We used to let her play with our feet under the covers at night but we stopped because we fear she doesn't make any difference between that and our bare feet.
We already play with her consistently - as soon as I get home from work -...
