They have a good variety of toys though i havent gotten anything specifically for chewing. They are currently teething so i wonder if that could be a factor too. I can potentially get the neuter done sooner, but I was hoping to wait until November for time and financial constraints. I'm...

I have tried a sherpa, among other blanket types. He'll knead and suckle on it for a couple minutes but just gets frustrated with it. In the last hour and a half I've seen him suckling on himself 5 times. That's a lot.

Sonic and his brother Mochi were found at approximately 4.5-5 weeks old, about 18 weeks now. Sonic has always comfort suckled but refuses to be satisfied with anything I've tried to give him. For a while he would suckle on his brother's penis and I had to separate them during unsupervised time...

@Mac and Cats of course! How silly of me to forget the tax.

@Mac and Cats I am so sorry for your losses. And thank you very much for the links, it's incredibly helpful. I did hear from my vet, he's not sure what to think of it without digging deeper. So right now he just wants me to watch for any further issues and bring him in if so. Otherwise he's got...

@Kieka I've been brushing once a week but I can start doing it more often. I need to try different brush options as I don't think I have a very good one right now. I have not started anything for hairballs, that was on my to-do list. There are so many options its hard to determine what is best...

I've sent an email to my vet for when they open but thought I'd get some opinions in the meantime. Earlier this morning my approximately 14y male cat threw up 2 large and 9 small puddles of bile. Some of it had hair in it and there were also tiny brown flecks which look like his joint...

@di and bob that's so funny that your boys are scared of their mama, I guess they know who not to mess around with. With the various cats Leafy has been around in years prior she always got along best with a senior male. I'm hoping that once the stranger danger wears off she will learn to like...

@di and bob so far Leafy seems okay. She will hiss a bit if Fergus gets too close but she's getting more comfortable with him moving around the living room and has sniffed noses a couple times. We are still doing short supervised visits but we are getting there. Fergus had his well check...

For those who may remember our journey, and struggles, I thought I'd give an update. Its a bit bitter sweet. So my husband and I tried for a total of two years to get Summer and Leafy integrated. At points I thought we were making progress and then we'd lose it all and they'd do worse. We even...

I forgot to add, I didn't notice any relaxed laying from Summer this time. Normally at least once she will lay more on her side or her legs out, but this time she stayed in a crouched "ready" position the entire time. And I forgot to answer your question @cat nap about mealtimes. Yes Summer...

We had another session this evening. We tried to let them be more natural and move about if they wanted to. Leafy would play a little bit but Summer didn't care to. For the most part we were good, Summer was a bit.. pushy? She kept creeping closer and closer and I could tell it was making Leafy...

Here's another update for you guys, and a question for the next step. We've been doing sessions usually once or twice a week for average 20-30 minutes at a time. No where as frequently as I'd like but work life for both of us is leaving us exhausted. I will let the videos do most of the talking...

Okay so the update for tonight. I finally got Summer comfortable enough in the harness that I felt we could have them out together leashed. Summer was initially on the couch when we started, she did jump down pretty soon after I brought Leaf in but my husband distracted her with a treat and we...

@FeebysOwner to answer some of your questions, I had actually forgotten about swapping their territories so I've started doing that again to hopefully change dynamics. I don't have much feasible way to relocate the barrier but I'm brainstorming ideas for that. What you mentioned about her...
