So I have a very ill, very elderly ferret who lives in a large playpen with no top. My young 1 yr old cat is obsessed with the ferrets food and will get in there and eat it all. It was just annoying but now that the ferret can't eat whole pieces of food I spend hours cutting each piece up...

I'm ending a ten year relationship and unfortunately I have to move in with my mother until I can save up and afford my own home. How do I introduce two cats terrified of dogs to two wiener dogs safely as as stress free as possible? The older cat used to live in a home with multiple cats and...

Update:  I work at a petstore so i was able to get a discount on a cage cover. One just like this:   The tarp only covers half of the pen bc of the way i have it set up. But so far she's tried to jump on it twice and it obviously makes her uncomfortable and it's given me enough time to stop...

Okay so this is not working. Put it up, the first few times she didn't like it and walked away but now she's just jumping into the middle of it to knock it down like its a fun extra.... :/

Funny you mention that. I have exactly that, a semi sheer curtain. I've put one up but I think i may add the other just in case. So far she's tried to jump on it twice and it slows her down enough for me to get her down before she can get in. If this works, it'll be annoying to remove at the...

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I am really low on money right now. My town was hit with major flooding and I lost over 500 dollars worth of work supplies that I'm having to rebuy to make the money back...so i don't really have the means to go out and buy screens at the moment. I have lots...

Here is a photo of the cage when i first set it up. I keep the outer doors open all the time so my ferret can always have access to the play pen. My ferret is 9 years old and is very feeble. Mocha(the kitten) jumps in there mainly to eat her food. But sometimes she jumps in there to get bat at...

Ok, I will start doing it to the both of them then instead of just one. So be silent? Or should I say a stern NO like usual? I'm so used to dogs(dont have any right now) but both of these babies just fell into my lap needing a place to go. I'm home from work now and today they've been talking...

Thanks for the links. I will look into the scent. And look over the link when I get home tonight. I really hope a new, bigger home will help. The only thing about keeping her separate is that she is an over groomer. She has locked herself raw in three places while she was quarantined. Which is...

About two months ago I think. We found the kitten and took her in but kept her quarantined in a spare bedroom for about two or so weeks. Then we introduced through a play pen gate. It was all very slow. He wouldn't even be in the same room as her and hissed at her if she looked in his general...

He just popped her two separate times in the span of five minutes right in front of me. I feel like he's trying to get her out of his way of me but he needs to learn to cohabitate!! She doesn't fight back at all but she is s tiny bit of an instigator sometimes with staring and creeping but that...

I've never popped them. I only yell NO and remove them from the situation. So when I hear him hissing at her I go "Noo!" and may nudge him if he's right next to me but very lightly. I also read on here that you shouldn't use spray bottles though, that it only causes a fear of water and doesn't...

So my first cat sliced the new kitten's 2nd...or 3rd eyelide..the one that is thick and shuts sideways. I had to take her to the vet and the vet had to snip most of the hanging bit off and she's going to have to get the eyelid completely removed while she's getting spayed. I have not been...

I just brought home a 6wk old stray kitten a few weeks ago and my older cat did the same thing. He now will be in a room with a see through barrier between them after two weeks. Don't worry, your other cat will get bored of the under the bed self isolation eventually.

Thanks for the link! No worries, I'm spending a lot of one-on-one with both of them. Thankfully Oreo isn't bitter with me or anything. He's still floppy and sweet as ever with me. The kitten has quieted down a lot over the past few days. She still calls out for oreo when she hears him or sees...

Sorry my first post was so long but, Oreo just came in the kitchen while the new kitten was in the livingroom so we game him wet food and he looked at her without hissing! He ate his food and retreated back but did not do so in a negative way. Small progress!
