Hi, I'm fostering a cat who's been through a horrible experience - her owner killed himself in front of her and she was stuck in the room with the body for 24 hours or more. Then she was roughly grabbed and taken to the vets after the body was found. She's been in a cage at her vets for a few...
Hi guys, I'm fostering mama moggie and 4 kittens. Kittens just over 6 weeks old, but not interested in solid food yet (except for one who will lick a bit of Whiskas kitten food). All they want is mum's milk! I've tried just about everything including baby food & sardines, but no success yet. Is...
Hi, am having similar problem with my boy kitten (just over a year old) harassing my two 11 year old girls, mainly pouncing on them trying to play rough when they just want to be left alone! I also have had to shut the bedroom at night to keep the girls on the bed with us, and I have a litter...
Six weeks down the line, and Eddy's going back to the shelter tomorrow. His bullying's got worse and worse, and he's now trying to stop Luna coming back into the house! Definitely doesn't like her, so he has to go. Shame, because he's a lovely cat, just not suitable for our family :( I'll keep...
Hi, this is actually quite normal.
I've also heard a quick trick is to dab a little vanilla on both cats' foreheads so that they both smell the same, but haven't actually tried it out myself.
Good luck!
Eddy is relentlessly stalking Luna, no matter how we distract him. She's also had a personality change, she's turned submissive (hissing then growling then averting her eyes and turning sideways with head down). She used to be a very bossy cat who didn't suffer fools gladly, always the first...
Oh dear.... I let the boys out for the first time this morning (girls were already out), and after a lot of fun chasing flies and running in the grass, Eddy reverted to type and started hassling Luna. A lot of hissing and growling from both of them, then she decided she had enough and went...
Thanks April.
Yes we did manage to lure the girls upstairs and sneak some treats at the '"see each other through a screen" stage, which lasted for nearly a week. It started off with a few hisses from both camps then calmed down towards the end, no hisses at all, Luna was quite calm but Stella...
Hi April, thanks for your advice, much appreciated.
The cats involved are 4: two older sisters of 11, and two young brothers of just under a year old.
The boys, Eddy & Ozzy, come from a shelter and have been here now for about 4 weeks, and they’re based in the spare room upstairs. We’ve done...
Hello everybody, newbie here. I'd like to hear from multi-cat owners how you managed cat introductions, how long it took for the cats to accept each other without fighting or running away, and any other info that you may think useful. I’m following the correct introduction path (separate room...
