    Can food affect behaviour?

    Because he really seems to like their "Paw Licking Chicken", I gave Abby some Weruva tuna (I forget the name of the other ingredient) yesterday. She ate it quite readily. No doubt it was a coincidence, but she was a psycho kitty for the rest of the night. Not that she isn’t anyway, but the...

    Colour v breed?

    So I know Abby is a sliver-grey tabby, but that's her colouring, not her breed (or is tabby considered a breed?). Is there anything about her "look" that suggests a particular breed? It is likely she is a mix of things but I am curious to know if more knowledgeable people here see anything...

    Making gaging sounds once in awhile...

    So I've had Abby since the end of July. About four of five times since I've had her she had made a choking, gagging sound, like she's going to cough up a hairball but never does. The cat I had before had a number of health issues and threw up often, so this new territory for me. She is active...

This is not a particularly dangerous situation as fire doors block one side of the hallway, but technically there is the possibility that...

    In Over My Head

    I recently adopted a cat from a rescue organization and it is not going well. I live in a one bedroom apartment and work all day. This situation was ideal for the cat I had before. She was five when I got her and had come from a household with two other cats and two dogs. She bonded with the...

    Savannah? Egyptian Mau? Or a very energetic gray tabby?

    I recently adopted a rescue cat, who is estimated to be two years old. I realize she probably wasn't properly socialized and that these things take time, but I am having a hard time with her behaviour. I am following all the advice, including playing with her before bedtime and feeding her...
