Thanks, Neely. That's a great idea regarding bringing in another small dog; there are a few people in my building who own small dogs, so I will speak to one of them today about that!

First of all: wow! Milo is such a handsome boy! Thank you for sharing those gorgeous photos. But onto the real issue, if he should have a companion. To be honest, I don't think I would ever suggest introducing a second cat into a home for another cat's companionship. That's not to say that...

Wow, this is great, thank you! Echo didn't respond to Feliway either, but I will definitely check some of these other products out. Even if Nibbler (the dog) doesn't join our house, these might be good for Echo when there are visitors over. Thanks!

Unfortunately, she lives out of town and the logistics of it wouldn't really work...we did try to sort it out, actually. Thank you for the suggestion, though!

I'm impressed you managed to get Jussi to sit for dinner! When Echo hears the can opener she can't stay still. :-P But I HAVE been able to teach her how to play dead (make a 'gun' with my fingers, say 'bang' and she falls over), which might help you with getting Jussi to lie down. Basically...

My current furry baby, Echo, is a 6yo kitty and is kind of a diva. She's had a bit of a tough history and I got her as a rescue, so since having a more stable home she can be a bit neurotic and demanding. She's wonderful and loving and so crazy, but other than myself, she doesn't really like...

I second this! :purr:

I suspect that Ruby and Echo may be the same in that way! But with that pretty little fact of Ruby's, that's probably not the worst thing. :)

I'm wondering if your vet might be able to help with a mild pain killer to help with the discomfort? When my cat had an intestinal blockage (but they thought it was IBS) they gave me a mild pain killer that I would inject down her throat and it really seemed to make her more comfortable. I...

Ahh, this is really good to know re: female cats! I actually have a good friend with six cats, who said that her female cats got along best, which is why I decided to go that way! I did work really hard to introduce them properly, but everytime they seemed to be getting along, and I would let...

Preach! Hmm, I have tended to take her for a long walk OR engaged in interactive play (you're right...She loves wands!) but perhaps I will try mixing these more as well as ensuring they are scheduled. She's unfortunately not super keen on bird tv, so to speak, but you both mentioned feeders...

Thanks is much for replying and validating my desire to keep her close. :-) Tbh, I've already introduced all those things into my place and, while she likes them, is bored quickly. She loves perching on her shelves and looking out the window, but it doesn't seem to keep her fulfilled...before...

I would tend to clear that with a vet before trying to introduce kittens to a new mom due to possible rejection etc. And when I say 'animal rescue' I was thinking more along the lines of a facility that deals with wild animals, which maybe more likely to intervene. If you're particularly...

Depending where you live, there is likely a shelter or animal rescue facility. I would suggest a quick Google search and get in touch with them for advice or even to be picked up and cared for. When a baby bird was injured by a stray in my yard last year they picked them both up and ensured...

Hi there! So I really need the advice of some other cat people. My beautiful girl, Echo, is 6yo and has lived with me for almost a year now. Fortunately, I do a lot of work from home so she gets lots of love and attention, and we have bonded so much more than I have with the other cats in my...
