I noticed that the more Catarina began to use her scratching post, the less her claws got caught in things. Do you think you could introduce a scratching post to your kitty? Catarina just seemed to know exactly what to do with it (hers is part of her condo)

Happy Holidays all! Catarina had the run of the house all day yesterday when we were out and was an angel! She was waiting in the bay window when we pulled into the driveway! My goal this week since I’ll be home is to keep her out 24/7 Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday :)

Thanks everyone! I am so happy she is inside with us as the weather begins to get chilly! We are giving her more time out of her room and leaving her out for short amounts of time when we’re not home. So far she’s been such a good girl! Finding lots of new spots to lounge around lately!

Cat (now Catarina) is continuing to do well with her new indoor life! A few weeks ago we contemplated phasing out her dog carrier, but decided to leave it. She spends less and less time in the carrier and crate though which is great. She has full access to her room 24/7 and loves to snuggle up...

Cat did a little exploring this weekend! We closed off a few rooms in the house and left her bedroom door open. She had access to the hallway, a bathroom, and the kitchen, She wandered into the hallway on Saturday and almost made it into the kitchen. She sniffed around a bit, but when she...

Hi Everyone, Cat is continuing to do very well! She definitely prefers my husband (oh well) and comes running out of her crate whenever he enters the room. He is able to pet her and she constantly rubs up against him or head butts him to tell him she wants to be pet more. After she got mad at...

To answer some of your questions.. It was recommended to us by the cat behaviorist to begin phasing out the crate so that she becomes more acclimated to the room, and eventually the house itself. When we first started out, everything was in the crate: carrier, litter box, small scratching post...

Thanks everyone. I am hopeful that she will be at a point soon that she can roam the whole house. But want to continue to take things slow and let her adjust. Over the past week, we have been noticing she has been rubbing her head against things. Mostly her carrier when she enters and exits...

Thank you so very much for your kind words! For someone who has never had a pet before, this has truly been an adventure, but I am happy that she seems happy! The support and encouragement from everyone on this site has been amazing, especially on days that I feel like I have NO idea what I am...

Cat is becoming so playful! It is so nice to see. I am getting the sense that she is realizing she wants to be our friend! Still on the fence about it, but she is considering it for sure. As soon as we open the door to her room, she comes out of her carrier. She is loving playing with mouse...

Sorry it has been a few days! Cat is continuing to settle in. Unfortunately I think I upset her tummy with the food switch, but we have reevaluated the plan and I believe now she is back on the right track. Since Friday morning, her cage door has been left open. She definitely roams the room...

Tried some canned cat food tonight. She LOVED it. Literally licked the dish clean! If we begin to feed solely wet food, should I worry if she doesn’t ever drink out of her water bowl? Is she getting enough liquid from the wet? By eating her soup (the dry food with water in it) she was...

Shredded? Chunks? Pate? Too many choices!!

To minimize tummy upsets with the switch, should I mix some of her current dry into the wet? Right now she doesn't graze.. We wanted her to associate us with her feedings so that we have more interaction if that makes sense...

I can start to add some canned food into the mix. Any particular brands you prefer? Should i still be making soup, or will the moisture in the canned food be enough? She doesn't ever touch the water bowl
