Hello! We've got 2 female cats, age 5 and age 11. They sometimes fight but mostly ignore each other. After some bad experiences we keep them separated when there is not someone home to monitor their behaviour. The younger one often greets the older one by putting her nose beneath the other's...

Hi - I have 2 cats - one 9 years old, one 2.5 years old.  They don't get along that well, though they are currently tolerating each other. Often the younger cat will come up to the older one, and put her nose to the older one's neck, under her chin.  Then freeze there.  Not biting, just frozen...

Any tips on giving pills?  I am discouraged.  My younger cat was prescribed paxil to address awful aggression toward the older cat (described elsewhere).  It might be helping somewhat.   But giving her this tiny pill every day is making me crazy.  Below is what I've tried.  Nearly everything...

Hi all - I'm wondering if anyone has advice on how to help my 2 female cats, ages 8 YO, and 10 months, get along better. Background: We didn't intend to get a 2nd cat, but ended up with one and could not find a new home for her, early last September 2014.  We did a VERY gradual introduction -...

Hi all - We have a 7 year old indoor female.  About a month ago we ended up rescuing a now-6-month-old female kitten from a bad situation.  We did not intend to keep her - but several weeks of effort did not turn up a new home for her, and now we are becoming attached and considering keeping...
