I'm not sure how old your fur baby is, but I had a similar problem with mine. He was not neutered, and that contributed to the problem a lot. Meowing became deep-throated howling, especially at night. His instinct to roam and search out a mate. After the neuter a lot of that calmed down but not...

He's definitely a "tree dweller' cat! He gets as high as he can on things and then he looks to see if he can get any higher, even though the only thing higher is the ceiling. 🤣 I'm in love with him. I'd planned on finding him a home after his vet clearance, disease testing and neuter, but by...

Some photos of the little stinker. Ha. He's a sweetheart.

Thank you so much. Yes, he has his own refuge room. With plenty of toys and lots of things that calm him. I've now shut the door to the washer and dryer room! I could not believe he went back there and very quickly. I didn't even see where he went. You're right, he could have hurt himself easily...

Thank you. Yes, I've had him in his own room for several weeks to settle out after his rescue, and I have some "spa music" (SiriusXM on the TV) playing for him, which seemed to calm him (along with a Feliway diffuser). It was too cold to open up the windows except for a few times, and then he...

One other thing to be aware of. The mother cat has the instinct to move the kittens around in order to keep them safe from predators. She will want to move them to different spots, not far away. You can move the styrofoam container when you see her doing that and put the kittens into it where...

I don't know where you're located, but in our area we have several organizations that do very inexpensive spays and neuters on feral cats. Try a Google search to look for organizations in your area that help with feral cats, or do inexpensive spays and neuters. Many cities will also have a trap...

I'm trying to figure this out. My new rescue cat is doing quite well and getting along with my resident cat. But if I try to open the windows, he gets very frightened rather than interested. And worst of all, if there is the sound of screaming playing children, he goes into complete panic mode...

Look online at how to make a styrofoam cat shelter. You use a basic big styrofoam container, cut a hole in it and then use straw for insulation on the bottom. This is something that can be used during very cold weather in the winter, and should allow her and the kittens to be warm and feel safe...

I would guess that she is anxious. It might be the new home, or a former trauma. I have had rescue cats that will do this, and it is usually because they have some kind of separation anxiety going on and rubbing up against you is giving them some peace of mind that you are there. They are also...

Update: Baker is doing very well! No spraying since he was neutered! So relieved. He's learning about house cat life from my resident cat, and he's learning. I'm going to post another problem I have with him to find out if anybody has any suggestions.

Thank you so much! This gives me hope for a good outcome. I just ordered some Nature's Miracle yesterday, and have an enzyme cleaner for clothing and things I can wash. Also ordered a cat pheromone diffuser to see if that will help. He's not agressive, but I know he's feeling cooped up. He wants...

I have rescued an approximately one year old intact male cat from the streets. I have owned cats my entire life, rescued many, and have kept many of them as well. Have dealt with multiple cat households and slow introductions. He is set up for a neuter in two days, which cannot come soon enough...
