Haha. Egg is a nickname for Aegon (pronounced Egg-Ohn) — why Aegon/Egg?? Lol. Because I’ve always wanted a Game of Thrones themed name for a cat but it hasn’t happened yet, my next female cat is basically already pre-named with a Game Of Thrones female name lol. I went through my mental list of...

Ahahaha I’m so sorry but there’s no way he’ll be called Teddy 🤣 that’s my mom’s dog’s name looool, and then one of his doggo friends is named Bear and they’re like a little pair so I’m always hearing about “Teddy and Bear” so I can’t call him that either 😆 SO YA as for names, no, no progress...

So um…. I wanted the boys to spend some more time together today and Bitsy’s poos have been back to normal for a few days and she seems a lot less perturbed by New Boy lately so I decided to just let him out with them instead of jailing her in his room again, and uh… so far so good? Bitsy...

Hello, yes, my boy Bentley blocked around 8 or 9 years old and spent three days in hospital getting unblocked/monitored. He was on RX urinary food for the rest of his life and never blocked again. He died at 16 of other causes. I gave him the occasional random brand wet food without issue, too...

Thank you, thank you. I won’t do a new thread in Health for now as I already know what the answers will be! 1) if you’re worried see a vet and 2) if there’s no other symptoms he’s probably fine/just getting over the URI and then maybe 3) my cats third eyelid showed like that always and he was...

Looool thank you @Kwik and sorry all that I’m such a spazz. Same thing as with the introductions. I know logically one thing but unless I have someone else confirming it I just doubt everything I think I know and get paranoid about my own judgement lol 😅

(RANT INCOMING SORRY LOL) There is a closer vet, just 10 minutes away, but she is awful. Dirty old rundown clinic, rushed appointments (literally 5-10 minutes max), does not seem to care at all. She refused to do senior blood panels on my cats last year (????). Told me that’s not something they...

She didn’t give me any advice 😅 Just said to “keep an eye on it” and to “bring him back in for a PCR if the sneezing/coughing fits were still happening in a week or so” — those stopped completely awhile back, eye boogers are basically a thing of the past now too, so it’s just the third eyelid...

Oop, here is a recent photo where they are very visible! They aren’t always this visible, usually depends on the angle, if he’s sleepy, ect, but in general they show a lot more than any of my other cats ever have. IDK it just concerns me because people always say third eye visible = sick and/or...

Really good session with the boys today out in the main area. Did a full site swap yesterday where I brought New Boy out by himself for over an hour so New Boy was much more comfortable/less focused on exploring this time around and spent a lot more time interacting with Moose. No...

Hmmmm okay. Maybe I’ll have to add leash training to my “to do” list and see what happens lol. Right now all my training energy is going to getting New Boy used to being handled, he loves to be pet and cuddle but does not like to be held/feel restrained, and gets overstimulated quite easily from...

Aaah thank you! Will do. No, nobody is leash trained but it’s an idea I’ve been flirting with on and off for some time now. I’m not sure I’d be comfortable taking any of them off the property ever (can’t trust people with their off leash dogs, strangers approaching, ect, the what ifs and...

Thank you so so much @Kwik that is so helpful and encouraging and a huge relief and I appreciate it. This is my third introduction ever and we are right at the stage where I get super anxious about things going wrong lol. Totally agree with the importance of ending on a good note which is why I...

OKAY sorry for video spam but if you watch any this is the most important one feedback wise!! I let them hangout again for about 15-20 minutes and it was going great, just had them playing with a wand toy and stuff, they were doing really well, but then this happened… not great 😬 I maybe...

Okay @Kwik thank you for the encouragement and reassurance! Bitsy was asleep so I took the opportunity to let Moose into new boys room for a bit. It’s funny because when Moose is in his room he’s more interested in exploring and New Boy is more interested in him, and then when New Boy is in his...

Awww thank you. Yes New Boy has been out in the rest of my place a few times with Moose, but not a ton, so I should start doing that more. It’s when that happens that New Boy is interested mostly in exploring and Moose wants to play/gets a little annoying and pushy with him. While they are...

Thank you, @Kwik !! That is very encouraging feedback. I totally agree that the barriers can probably come down at least for short-ish visits at this point. The boys will be fine and Moose has been less hyper/excited at gate visits as of late. It’s just my own nerves holding me back at this...

Ahahaha, I swear his name won’t be New Boy, that’s just what I refer to him here on the forum (for now) … as of right now Aegon/Egg is sticking the most but I still don’t know if I’ll go with that lol The double baby gate is working quite well for the most part, under supervision… but he is...

A story in three pictures… Finally, I’ve gotten my hands on a second baby gate! Now I can work on acclimating Bitsy to New Boy without worrying about him or Moose constantly jumping the barrier! This thing is well over four feet tall, surely they can’t get over it…

Merrick Rabbit contains chicken, from what I can find on their website rabbit is not in their limited ingredient line. Their whole limited ingredient line contains flaxseed, and that is also on their red flag list so that would be a no-go regardless. KOHA’s limited ingredient line contains...
