    Do you have an alpha cat?

    Yep, Tundra is the alpha. He jumps up and sits on Tacoma all the time, especially when Tacoma is sleeping. He takes it for a while, enjoys the grooming and then jumps down. He pushes Tacoma out of the sleeping basket - so I got two. Tacoma seems fine with it.

    Is this a male thing?

    I see this too!!!! At first I thought it was the bottoms they were going after...oh no. They are biting each others privates when they are wrestling. I see too that they do not hurt each other though.

    Introducing a new 2 1/2 year old to my perfect cats

    thanks for the reply - yep, a year already I will def. keep in mind that they need as much attention because I see that they are already responding to the changes that are going on. We are painting and moving furniture - things are banging and bumping and Tacoma is hiding under our bed several...

    touching my face

    One of my cats will come up to me and will paw me very gently when he wants me to pet him. I think it's sweet the way he tries to be very gentle about it with claws in. The other will half claw me to death so that I can rub him down hence the name Tundra!

    change in body with kitten to cat food.....

    No they weren't overweight to begin with but they def. were bigger than they are now. I also noticed that they go looking for their food bowls later on a night, every now and again I give them a little extra wet food. Thanks for your response

    change in body with kitten to cat food.....

    At first I thought is was just Tacoma losing weight, but then Tundra started dropping as well. Do cats generally lose a little weight when you switch from Kitten to Adult Cat food? I still mix the dry food with wet Nutro twice a day and then free feed during the day. They both still eat about...

    Introducing a new 2 1/2 year old to my perfect cats

    Hi to everyone. Tundra and Tacoma are now princes of the home at a year old. They have been with us a year after coming to us at 12 weeks old. I adore these two cats. My Dh and I recently fostered a 2 1/2 year old little girl and she"ll be coming in about 2 weeks. Is there anything that I can do...

    Leaving the cats overnight...is that ok?

    Thanks everyone. I feel so much better now. We have not left them before other than when they went to get neutered. I'll be sure to put out the extra food and water. I can sleep now

    Leaving the cats overnight...is that ok?

    Nope, I don't. Also, I do not trust anyone to commit to "saying " that they will be fed, change the litter etc. They are strictly indoor cats. If one got out and went missing...... i am just worried about the overnight issue at this point.

    Leaving the cats overnight...is that ok?

    Hi everyone, It has been a while since I've been on. My husband and I are going away from Sunday to Sunday. I have agonized over leaving Tundra and Tacoma with a pet sitter or our vet who also happens to board pets. It would be $288 for the nights that they both stay and that is a little...

    Tundra and Tacoma update and question......

    Thank you so much for replying, I feel so much better. The kittens were taken away from their mother too early as well as left at 12 weeks - kinda like a double detachment so early. It makes sense that I am taking the momma kitty role. I know that I am blessed to have 2 cats that love to be...

    Tundra and Tacoma update and question......

    Hi everyone, It has been a while since i have been here posting, but I do read off and on to keep up with kittens born etc. For those of you who remember, my husband and I adopted 2 12 week old abandoned kittens who had already been on their own in an apartment without food or care for a couple...

    thinning fur along the eyes and side of face

    ....and I know what is causing it. When my kittens are grooming themselves, especially after eating, both kittens are rubbing themselves so hard that they they are rubbing the fur off of their faces. What, if anything, can I do about this? It is more obvious now that their fur is thickening...

    YAY! They're okay, awake and neutered!!!

    I am so glad you posted this. My two are getting neutered in 2 weeks and I have to leave them overnight too. I am so nervous. I am so happy that yours are ok
