I have space in my kitchen for another small table. They are allowed on this. This way, they can watch everything and not be tempted to go on the counter. If you don't have space, try a cat tree.

I saw this in a cat on an episode of Jackson Galaxy's show. Not that I mean to scare you, but the cat had had a stroke and the only sign of it was the nightmares and violent twitching in his sleep. It might be worth asking the vet of they can determine this?

That's brilliant progress!

Hello, I have recently gone through this process and it took five weeks from the arrival of my two new kittens to playing with adult cat, Buffy. I live alone in the week, so could only do mutual play on weekends when my boyfriend was around. At first, that was impossible. My adult cat...

It's interesting that you said you walked with confidence. That's excellent! Keep doing that. WWhen my cat blocks my kittens off and gets all territorial and swipey, I just breeze past her with full confidence and talk to her in the baby voice she loves. DSometimes I cheekily rub her...

I'm glad you haven't squirted her. It teaches your cat nothing except you're not to be trusted. By your own admission, it doesn't change her behaviour at the next meal. What do you mean by swatting and barking when you go to feed her? When you're out coming into the room with bowl? As you are...

Hi all, I have two kittens (15 weeks old) and an adult cat (5 years old). I've had the kittens since they were 8 weeks old and we took the introduction slowly. The process can be found on this thread: Introducing new kittens to resident cat. Last week, we allowed the kittens to roam in the...

This is great. This site has helped my with my introductions, too. Everyone was so kind, helpful and supportive.

Yes because the sight of the neighbour's cat will make her insecure about her territory.
