Hi, thanks for replying and sorry for the delayed response. Yeah, he's fixed. We are in the UK, and I have reached out to the charity I adopted my cats from only to be told I need to get the stray checked for a microchip. I am not equipped to catch him - I attempted to paper collar him to try...

Hi, haven't posted here in a while. I'm back again with the same issues; my male cat is pooing and peeing/spraying in the house. This has been an ongoing battle for most of his life; it seems to get better then resurfaces. We are currently going through the worst I have ever known it, with...

I have now supplied a litter box... which I thought he would use instantly, but nope. Things seems to be improving a little bit, we have some calming remedies in use, food bowls in separate rooms so fingers crossed it continues!

He lived with another female cat before my ex and I split, when he was about 2-years-old. He had lived with her since we got him as a kitten. He was an only cat for 9 months, and got incredibly clingy in that time. I introduced Belle slowly and they seemed to get along ok, sleeping on my bed...

Hi all. I have a very anxious/nervous and possibly stressed out neutered 4-year-old male cat (Freddie). He has always had moments where he pees territorially (he does it on visitors clothes or belongings, but not 100% of the time) and I know he does it when he gets nervous. However, he seems...

I agree with a regular feeding time.  If you don't want to get a timed feed bowl is a great investment! I work shifts so struggle with regular times, when I'm not working days my cat still expects to be fed at 0450!   I stubbornly ignore my cats when they cry for food, I don't talk to them...

Try feeding half a serving, then give more when he's had his fill to see if she'll eat that?  

I let my cats out, so can't really help there (its more common to let cats out in the UK, I think.  Mine have a cat flap and roam as they like) With the jumping up, I would just put her down on the floor, say no, then go back to what I was doing.  No raised voice or anything.  Then it's a case...

Hi all. Freddie has had an awfully stressful week (and me too).  He was admitted to the vets last Saturday for high temp, not eating and he was also jaundiced.  He's ended up spending the week at a specialist vet hospital.  I don't expect him to come home and be fine, but now he just growls at...

Oh, no.  You can set the sureflaps to not need batteries, leaving them unlocked for any cat to use.  I've just replaced the door today as the mechanism had started to fail so the door had been unlocked, not requiring any scanning. In typical cat fashion, she learnt to get back in and now she...

I've had the flap longer than I've had Belle. It was easy to train Freddie as it was just him and I didn't have competition for treats! (He steals them from her!)   When I try to entice her with treats Freddie tends to swipe them and she just sits there.  She's not overly motivated by food, even...

1) You're right, once he's comfortable he will start to eat in a normal way again.  They just have to get comfortable with their environment.  I haven't moved with a cat for a long time, but my ex took one of our cats when he moved out and she didn't eat normally for a while, she spent a lot of...

Hi all, wonder if you could give me some advice. I have been trying to get my cat Belle to use the cat flap, started by having it propped opened all the time (when I'm home) and she had no issue with it.  As soon as its shut, nothing would bring her to use it (food, treats, praise and...

Sounds like you're going the right way about it.  Having never introduced a cat to a baby, I can only suggest what I think would be the right path.   Does she have plenty of hidey holes? How is she with your other cat?   How long exactly has this been going on now?  Could you think of anything...

She sounds like an old cat.  Does she seem content in what she does, regardless of her lack of interest in typical cat interests?  TBH, my mother's 16 year old cat is very similar.  She follows mum around (or my stepdad) and insists they sit down for cuddles.  If they are doing other stuff she...

If loss of attention is a possible cause, is there any way to engage kitty with playtime involving your son? Maybe if she can bond somewhat with him and they can have a good relationship that might help?  Of course, I'm assuming that there isn't a relationship already.

Probably not an ideal solution, but maybe try putting a tray near there?   My cats have on occasion done this too, in the past I put tinfoil down where they pooped because they don't like the noise of it and that works somewhat.   I hope your husband doesn't stand by his threat.  Have you...

Things have been going well between Belle and Freddie as of late. There had even been occasions where you could almost say they've been affectionate (Freddie slept on top of her back legs, some grooming) and I've just had another complete setback. Today I let Belle out in the back garden for...
