Thank you so much for the response! I'm going to read that article right now, but you're right, I think I'm getting hung up on trying to read the body language (and a worrywart in general) when it doesn't seem like any of the cat fights I've seen in videos/etc. while trying to research what a...

Oh my god 😂 sorry! I totally thought this was about a human. Our first cat ironically has a food allergy (our vet did not suggest testing due to expense, just advised giving her Zyrtec when we brought it up) and we give her 1/2 of a standard 10mg tablet daily if she's having allergies (signs are...

I take 20mg off-brand Zyrtec nightly for my allergies (cat and seasonal, I take it year-round for the cats though), and avoid benadryl if I can (that stuff knocks me out like a light and I wake up feeling horribly tired). I take it at night because it makes me drowsy and usually takes a bit to...

I'd second the flower catit model! We use it for our cats, one of whom would come running to any tap that was turned on. She no longer does that and much prefers the fountain. It's not too loud at all, and we've had ours almost 2 years now and with weekly washings with warm soap and water, it's...

Wanted to add, Sushi also doesn't really hiss or growl at all even when at the vet or doing things he doesn't like (like clipping nails), but Benny is pretty vocal in that sense and will hiss or growl at him if she's unhappy with something he's doing. She's begun getting territorial of her...

Hi! I posted here in March about my and my partners' cats, Benny (1 yr 10mo female) and Sushi (1yr 11mo male). We adopted Sushi in February and introduced him over the course of about 2 months (letting them meet a couple times a few weeks in by our mistake of misinterpreting their readiness). We...

I'm so sorry, I hope you and your remaining kitties can find peace. Loss is never easy and my heart aches for you and your family; losing someone so suddenly and unexpectedly is especially tough imo. This helps a ton to read, thank you! <3 Cricket is so cute, love her colors! Beautiful cat...

Thank you so much for your insight, it helps to understand that from Benny's perspective he *is* an invader, after all. I genuinely did not know how long introductions could take and unfortunately had mis-set my expectations. Sushi will avoid Benny but I think it is mostly because of her...

My gf and I adopted our current cat, Benny, last year as a kitten and she's been our joy. She's always been a little shy/anxious, and when we first met her at a kitten cat cafe she was a bit of a "loner" among the other cats, but wasn't noted to be particularly bad (ie aggressive, skittish) with...
