i have a three year old male and two year old female. I have had both since they were tiny kittens. The second one came in when the first one was a year old. They are neutered and spayed. Through the years, the male has had times where he bites the female. She cries, but won't defend herself...

I have a neutered adult male that is friendly, loving, and enjoys affectionate interaction with me. He's a wonderful pet except that he will sometimes bully the female. That's his only flaw. This slightly younger spayed adult female absolutely hates being picked up or held by humans. In...

I am selling my home. My two year old neutered male and one year old spayed female have only been indoor pets. After the sell is completed, I, and the cats, are moving in with a relative who likes cats, but has no pets. Her one cat recently died. She currently has no pets in the home. We will be...

There is a local stray that has been around for quite some time. She is sweet natured and likes attention. She recently became ill and I could not deal with watching her experience discomfort and further deterioration of her well being. I took her to the vet (Bless her heart. This was the first...

Every year, it seems like there is a huge problem with homeless kittens, strays, shelter animals, rescues needing donations, etc. I also see public run (tax payer's expense) animal control offices that are maintained with upkeep, employees, etc. This has made me wonder something. Why aren't...

A stray mother cat had kittens. (I live in an area that seems to be a dumping ground for horrible humans or people who are running off and leaving pets. This isn't the first time I have dealt with strays.) Not long after catching them, I noticed that one was smaller and ill. I took him to the...

I just thought I would post something that might help other cat owners. A while back, I was having issues with a kitten tearing up my home. She was very destructive and did some damage to carpet and furniture. I finally purchased two sided sticky tape from a pet store and put it in the areas...

I am in a community where we have a small group of stray cats. They are all grown and related. One person is kind enough to provide cat food for them everyday. Because of this, food never seems to be an issue and they look well fed. Over time, they have had kittens. Some of us saw to getting all...

I am considering purchasing a couch cover-material or plastic or other. It is to keep my cat out of reach of the upholstery, Do you have a good recommendation for what you've used? Store?

Last May, I found an abandoned/lost kitten. The veterinarian said she was a five or six week old female. She was absolutely beautiful and seemed happy to have a caregiver. When I took her home, I had to go through about a month of introductions and assimilation with my one year old male. They...

I have a one year old neutered male who has been a great cat. No problems with any issues. The only time he has ever been difficult was when I found a five week old kitten outside. I had to deal with his hissing, aggression, etc. towards the kitten, for about a month. We had the introduction...

I have a one year old cat and a four month old kitten. I have had both since they were five weeks old. They were stray rescues. The cat has never been a fan for being held or sitting on a lap. Also, he never rubs against my legs. He enjoys his own company and will stay in a room with me 25% to...

I have a year old cat and a twelve week old kitten. Our introduction phase is over and they are pals hanging around the house, eating, and playing. I had my older cat about 80% trained not to scratch unwanted furniture surfaces, when the new kitten arrived. From what I could tell, he almost...

I am four and a half weeks into my male year old cat and my ten week old female kitten's introduction. They are separated at night and when I am away. Every time they get together, after a separation, (mostly after the night separation) she runs to him and sometimes purrs. He grabs her by the...

I purchased one of these to aid with the introduction of a kitten to my resident cat. I had it plugged in for about two days and I thought my older cat seemed slightly more relaxed. I wasn't sure if it works that quickly or it was just a coincidence. After this two days, I started smelling a...

I have read a lot on the internet about various recommendations for cat introductions. I have also read just as many posts where people are asking for advice on failed or difficult attempts. What I haven't seen much of are testimonies of owners who started out with disasters, but ended up with...
