Thank you all for the replies! Despite the small size I have two rather large cat trees that I was determined to make fit. I did. :) I do play with her although I am guilty that since I moved, I've been spending a lot of time trying to get this place in order - since it's so small, if I leave...

My cat Venus is an incredibly chatty cat. Sometimes they're cute little chirpy meows, ones that sound very happy and chipper. I have no problems with those, but recently her meows have been sounding... Distressed? Bothered? I will throw in there that I recently moved (a little over a month ago)...

Lots of quotes in there, I know. So I don't know if this is the correct forum for this, but I figure it's honestly the best place for it. So I have a very sweet, very lovable tortoiseshell named Venus. She's a big ball of love, but she is also incredibly mischievous. This cat can open ANYTHING...

So my cat Venus has been a lovely addition to my family. She's probably around a year and a half old now, so still plenty of spunk left in her. However, recently, her spunk has just been... Too much. I notice she's been exhibiting a lot of attention-seeking behavior, like counter surfing (which...

Thanks! I actually already kind of do this, although unintentionally. I have three different bowls of water out throughout my apartment. I would really love to add a drinking fountain to the mix sometime soon. Thanks!

Anyone have any advice in helping to prevent UTIs in cats? After having a few days of straining, I brought my Venus into the vet. The urine test came back positive for a UTI, and with the amount of bacteria in her bladder, she seemed to have thought she had the UTI for a while, even before I got...

I did have another cat who turned out to be very cat aggressive after a while of trying to introduce him, so ultimately, I had to give him away. (To a friend, rest assured! He's fine.) I would love another cat but I've decided if I do, with Venus' activity levels, to get a kitten, probably in...

I don't know whether to put this in the behavior or health section of the forum, but I think health makes more sense. So my cat, Venus, is a little over a year old. Since she's just out of the kitten stage, she still has a lot of energy. She normally gets three play sessions a day - just before...

Alright, need some advice: So I've been letting Venus out after I've been getting home from work, and usually putting her back in before feeding time (Around 8:00.) I've slowly been increasing her amount of time out of the room, and so far it's gone well... Except for the last couple of days...

I just wanted to give a quick update on how everything's going here in kitty introduction land - today Venus officially met Adonis without a door in between them. While Adonis was definitely not thrilled, it wasn't as bad as it could be. He was doing a lot of hissing and growling, but made...

Well, this is where I am currently at. Venus is still in my room, with Adonis out in the living room. I am thinking about doing the "scent swapping" thing and rub some of Venus' scent on a clean sock and leave it in Adonis' area of the apartment. Venus shows little to no fear of venturing...

Thank you so much! Adonis has been doing a lot of hissing and growling through the door, but I am happy that Venus seems overall unfazed by this - I hope that her relaxed nature might seem less threatening to him and that he ends up not minding her presence. I definitely fear a physical fight...

So the opportunity stumbled upon me to get another cat - ultimately, despite the challenge, I decided to take up the opportunity. The kitty I received is a small female, no more than 10 pounds, and possibly less, named Venus. Venus is an EXTREMELY SWEET tortie, who is about the most carefree...

Thank you all for your lovely responses! I received the harness today and did my best to start getting him acquainted with it. While he did not bite, he didn't exactly let me put it on him either - the part that goes around the neck slips over the head, and I just can't seem to keep him still...

Thank you Yayi! I will definitely give it a shot and see how he reacts, since I just ordered a harness and it should be here in about a week. I suppose my fear is since he's a slightly "older" cat and has been allowed to wander freely in the past, he might not take to the harness well. It's only...

Hello everyone and welcome! Things have been going along swimmingly with my furry cat of one month, Adonis. he's been having ups and downs, but I've noticed that as an overall whole, he's been doing better. However, I've noticed his frustration is still rather profound - let me explain that...

Oh yeah definitely. He is a bit on the small side for a male ragdoll of that's what he is, around 15 lbs, but they did say they were usually.15-20 so who knows! I don't care what he is either way, it's just fun guessing. :D

Anyone have any guesses got what my cat may be? I figure he's not likely to be 100% purebred but he definitely has a LOT of something. I did some googling and he is almost a spitting image of many seal point ragdoll cats I've seen online. But he does look a bit like a doll face Himalayan as...
