My one year old cat has this weird thing he does when he is playing..he tries to place his toys directly under his butt and sits or lays on it. Then after a few seconds, he jumps up and attacks it. Idk if it's a sent thing oR what. It's not an issue, but I've always been curious if other...
I know this sounds like exact opposite of a problem..
I have a kitten who has never been interested in scratching stuff, but occasionally touching his post when he is excited I'm home.
But since he doesn't scratch, I find his nails everywhere and i'm scared he is going to hurt himself by not...
We also did a tree on a table. Cats can't jump on things from a 45 degree angle, by placing it on a table and bending the branches, you can achieve this effect.
You don't have to short yourself on Christmas just because you have a cat.
I would stay away from real trees because most types are...
I have the biggest love nipper in the world. For me, I couldn't break him of it. But I was able to lessen it so he wasn't just eating my flesh.
I tried the loud high pitched "ouch" thing and my sadistic ******* cat didn't care. So I started peeling him off me by his scruff and putting him...
I'm not really sure if this is even a problem.
But I feel like our cat has not lost his kitten fur. He is around the 7 month age and has bunny soft fur. It goes far beyond the realm of very soft cat fur. It's also very fine and kinky in some areas like near his tail and ears.
We also...
1. Okay so the aggression with my kitten is almost completely resolved. But one thing, he can't stand things being placed in front of him. I know it sounds crazy but if you come at him to pet him from the front, he will maul you. But if you come from the side or the back, he is an angel. Does...
My kitten did this to me primarily when he wasn't done being pet and he wanted more. Or he was being territorial and didn't like things near his face. But you just have to pay attention to body language. For me just getting him neutered and watching for signs he may bite has helped with that.
i'm not living under some illusion that I'm going to take my cat to a family member's property and get to roll around in the hay with him with butterflies. All I said it that makes more sense for me to bring him into an environment where I know he may not have his aggressive trigger rather than...
We have worked to make our home fun for him investing in various toys, scratchers, da bird, chutes. This alleviated his play aggression but has done nothing for his random aggressive outbursts. What I am seeing is almost an anxiety or fearful reaction to a stimuli that I can't find. As I...
Yes, we were told he might benefit from a mature kitty friend, but that is not an option for us at this point. Which is why I felt that he should get into contact with other cats sooner.
We have tried the anxiety collars with the feliway type pheromones on them and had no luck.
I would NEVER...
P.S. we have seen the vet about this and they did classify his behavior as a dominate aggressive cat. We talked in depth about this with the vet and she seemed to have no answers other then neutering and talking to a behavioral therapist to see if they can see why he flips like that. And to add...
Hi guys,
This is an extremely touchy subject for me. My male kitten, about 7/8 months old has weird habit that has me thinking that my home is not the best place for him. We have trained him into letting us sleep at night, using his hidden litter box, eating on a schedule, playing on a...
I apologize if this is more of behavior issue than a nutritional issue.
I have a 5 month old kitten that is is being quite selective with his food. When we got him at six weeks, he was on some really really cheap kitten chow type of food. It was packed with grain and artificial colors...
