His behavior, I think, is what puzzles me the most honestly. He's so gentle, never raises a "paw" in his own defense, and only wanders up to her so he can sniff her and that's what sets her off. If he comes too close, she'll growl a loud warning which he will ignore, and attempt to cozy up to...

In January, I got two kittens. They're 11 months old now and settling in pretty well, both the male and female. The problem is, I already owned an 8 year old female cat (Tammy). I introduced her slowly to Dolly and Benny (kittens) and everything went super well. About a month after the settling...

This is kind of an odd problem I'm having. But if I'm in the room with one of my cats, Dolly (9.5 months) and I eat something, I might leave the plate of food on the table for a little bit before I take it in. It could be something like a sandwich with the crusts leftover or an empty yogurt cup...

Thank you for this response. In the time since I read your post I called the shelter and there is little to no information about what happened to the cats before they came to them - so it's anyone's guess. But it would make complete sense. They love my current cat. She has been relatively...

So I have a Westie resident dog. He is about 10 years old now. I just got two 8 mo old kittens and did the "Introduction" process recommended to me. The Westie adapted fine to our current cat, who is about 7 now. But the new kittens are posing a serious problem. I got them used to each other's...

Thank you for your reply. I was charged nearly $200 for both cats - no vaccines either! Oh well. Can kitties still eat canned food sans teeth? Poor little babes. I would get their teeth removed in a heartbeat if that's what it came to. I looked online and Purina PP has wheat gluten in it, to my...

Thank you both for your kind responses. I am considering a new vet but am unsure honestly. Do you think I can finish my two cases of Fancy Feast? I don't like to waste it. I will definitely get Purina Pro Plan to follow, or alternatively grain-free canned. The reason I got them FF classic in the...

Thanks to everyone for their replies, I am feeling much more reassured about my quirky kitties 

I took my new cats to the vet yesterday and was informed both have immune problems. One girl has gum disease or gingivitis and the other boy has rodent ulcers. The vet said it's from compromised immune systems but the doctor was in a rush so I felt uncomfortable asking questions (wish I had!). I...

Thank you! I love them so much! :) Ok, that's a good thing. The first night I got them home Benny went right under the bed and Dolly was completely placid and just melted into your lap and arms. I'm assuming she was kind of shell-shocked because of the stress she was under? I don't particularly...

I know that he's a barn cat you graciously let inside your house for the winter, and neutering seems like an awfully big expense for a barn cat, but it is definitely worth it. Honestly, I don't know if that's how you feel but I grew up on a farm my grandparent's owned and it's kind of how my...

I am not a first time cat owner - I already had a 7 year old baby, her name is Tammy. Tammy does not enjoy sitting on laps or being held but does enjoy licking me, being petted, sitting next to me in bed, and chirps like a bird whenever I enter the room. She also panics when she is feeling...

That is great advice, thank you! :) I will purchase some FF kitten. I was kind of unsure if they really needed kitten food considering they are only three months shy of a year. But I want them to get all of the nutrients they need. Thanks!

For my two 8 month old cats. One is 4.5 pounds the other is 6.5 pounds. Should I be adding any dry food...I read dry food is bad for them. I only buy the classic, grain-free FF flavors and no fish because of the mercury. Thanks!

Hi all! I just adopted two kittens - Dolly & Benny. They are about 8 months, one week old. I have been feeding them Hill's Kitten Healthy Development dry kibble which is what they were being fed at the shelter. However, I have been hearing amazing things about raw food and am interested in...

Thank you to everyone for their amazing help and advice! Things seem to be going well - this morning I woke up to both cats wanting some cautious cuddles :) They no longer hiss when I surprise them and both are eating and eliminating. I am not yet comfortable taking them out of my bedroom, and...
