Thanks game misconduct. I do that now ... he simply does not want to do it himself. He will groom half heartedly after I wipe. Lazy boy thing? He is 13 months old.
My long hair young male cat refuses to clean his bum after a poo., He is lazy thinks he is missing out on fun if he takes the time to clean or cover his mess. I clean for him. What can I do?
This is good advice. I will wait til the animal shelter gets a young male. I find it difficult to determine the cat's personality since they have been caged. They told me my older female was "laid back" but she is a high maintenance prima donna (but I love her).
I notice that play style is different. Both my cats are from the shelter so I don't know what the older female cat was like as a kitten but the male cat loves to fight/wrestle/chase.
Thank you for your reply. I really want another cat but I don't want the older cat to go nuts. She already is unhappy that I brought home the younger cat.
I have two cats, a territorial female about 7 years old and a one year old male. The female cat does not get along with the male. He adores her and follows her around trying to play or get her attention (which drives her crazy). She swats at him and he thinks they are playing. She is not afraid...
