    Looking to adopt puppy - concerns about cats adjusting

    I wasn't entirely sure where to place this so I figured it'd go under behavior. My husband and I are looking at adopting a puppy here in the next two months but have two very important concerns: our two cats. What makes this situation more difficult is that they are two totally opposite...

    Do Cats Get Hangry?

    It's a serious question haha Can cats get hangry? You know, the anger that arises from hunger. I've noticed one of my cats gets particularly aggressive near meal times and then calms down once she eats. If it is a thing, and someone here has experienced it with their furry friends, perhaps...

    Cat Spraying Is Driving Us Crazy

    After Vet Visit Update: 1. Looks like we got a clean bill of health from the vet! Which is good news. On an unrelated note, Kimi did EXTREMELY well at this new vet - no hissing, spitting or scratching. We are hoping to switch vets because we're thinking it's Banfield that makes her catty (hah -...

    Cat Spraying Is Driving Us Crazy

    Most Recent Update: So, after only seeing 1 to 2 accidents in about a week and a half, we are now creeping back up to one a day accidents. It's still not as bad as 2-3 times a day, but it's still more than we'd like. We noticed that the storage bin we bought to help with the "spray" peeing is...

    Irregular Breathing - Am I Paranoid or Rightfully Concerned?

    So as if my poor kitty hadn't already made a name for herself on this site I'm back again. I recently posted two separate questions about her peeing outside the litter box and her aggression towards my other cat, but now I'm thinking I might have found the root to both problems, but I need to...

    Younger Cat Bullies Older Cat

    Exactly. We know it's not going to be an overnight thing, we just hate seeing Syra try so hard and Kimi just shut her down. We know whenever Kimi gets stressed, like when we take her to the vet, she pees. I've actually stopped taking her in my car because I don' want her peeing in it. It's brand...

    Cat Spraying Is Driving Us Crazy

    They are both spayed. Kimi (our problem kitty) we spayed ourselves, but Syra we adopted from a Petsmart and she was given to us spayed.

    Cat Spraying Is Driving Us Crazy

    Thought I'd post a quick update on the pee problem. We recently decided until we both get paid again (early next week) that we would try buying a big Sterilite storage bin to use as a cat litter box. Since we implemented that we've only seen three accidents total, when we used to see, at it's...

    Younger Cat Bullies Older Cat

    She has not but we have discussed the possibility. She also pee's outside the litter box (I recently posted about that as well), so we hope to take her to a vet that also has a behaviorist to not only figure out if her grumpiness is because of her being sick, but afterwards what we can do to...

    Younger Cat Bullies Older Cat

    I'm not even sure how to approach asking this question so I'll just jump into the background. This revolves around my 5 year old calico Kimi. Kimi has a huge personality, and has a bit of an attitude. I'd say it's probably because of the calico personality, but perhaps she's just being a moody...

    Cat behavior change for the worst...

    Do you have many places for your new kitten to perch from? Sometimes many cats feel threatened by other cats and would prefer to overlook their kingdom than to look up at it. It might seem like a simple thing, but maybe giving Franky space all his own will help him calm down and not be as brutal...

    Cat Spraying Is Driving Us Crazy

    We decided after some consideration that it wouldn't hurt to take her back to the vet - and a different one at that. Hopefully we'll get a definite answer to our UTI/Not UTI question (or if she has some other problem going on), and move on with keeping the pee strictly in the litter box. If it's...

    Phycho cat?

    I know when I got my kitten (who is now a very big kitty), she did the same thing. She was absolutely bonkers. I was used as a human climbing tree, bit, scratched, the whole nine yards. After a few months she finally mellowed out - I equate it to the terrible two's of babies, but in kitten form...

    Chirping?

    I'm not cat expert, but my cats do it too. Usually mine is at a bird, or something else they think would be good to "play" with that they probably shouldn't be. However, here's a link to the Humane Society website that has some information on the feline language :) hope that helps! ...

    Cat Spraying Is Driving Us Crazy

    I wouldn't mind trying a different vet, especially since we use Petsmart Banfield. The thing that makes Banfield so attractive is they have a lot of the tests we'd need done included in their wellness plan. My only other concern about it possibly not being a health problem is that she's been...

    Cat Spraying Is Driving Us Crazy

    We've never brought in a urine sample, but with as much peeing as she does it might not be too difficult to get one next time she goes in. Slightly unrelated, but she also HATES the vet. Last time I took her in, they called me and said they couldn't see her because she almost took the fingers...

    Cat Spraying Is Driving Us Crazy

    Oh, and we have not tried the cat attract litter. We use Fresh Step Unscented litter and that has never changed because we know that cats can be picky. Maybe it is the litter and that's why she's doing it? Our other cat doesn't seem to have any problems with the cat litter though, and she's...

    Cat Spraying Is Driving Us Crazy

    She goes to a vet every six months and gets the whole work up, and we ask every time she's there and they say she's fine. However, we do ask every time we go just in case they missed something the previous times. As far as determining it's spraying... the big give away is that we did see her...

    Cat Spraying Is Driving Us Crazy

    I have never posted to a forum for help, but I'm hoping that maybe someone out there has had a similar problem that has remedied it... My husband and I have two female cats (which may explain a lot) who we love very dearly. They are polar opposites, and have their good and bad moments. However...
