How's Tom doing?

I agree with others. The cats have been through a lot of changes. Not only with their living situation, but also their age and maturation. I think it can be a bit common for cats to be more distant with each other as they get older. They're more confident in their world and might not need the...

To me, that sounds like an asthma attack, but could be other things. The vet will likely want to take an xray at least.

What kind of food do you have out for Tom - something yummy-smelly? He's scared and so he'll need quiet and dark perhaps. If you leave him some delicious bedtime food he may be tempted to venture out. And nothing in his litter box for several days now? How big is his room?

IMO, it sounds like the kitten is just seeking comfort. Have you tried a heated bed with a sherpa blanket in it? (warm+plush)

We had a foster cat who had horrible wounds and nothing seemed to help (steroids, etc). She was on limited ingredient diet for a while but when we switched her to hydrolyzed protein diet (our cat has to be on it), her sores immediately stopped getting worse and ended up healing. The shelter was...

What is the food she's on?

I'd recommend a visit to the vet. Coughing could be allergies, hairball, foreign object, asthma... Lots of things. It's just best to have a doctor look/listen and try to figure out what's going on.

When my cats get those wild dilated pupils, that's when I STOP playing. They've lost their minds at that point and that's when the play attacks will happen. They're off their senses. That's when I go do something else in another closed room and/or make the environment very low-stimulation. They...

I don't like the idea of anything acidic near any genitals TBH. Colloidal silver is good and safe, but might need to get to the root cause of the UTIs. Litter change? Water fountain to increase hydration?

When my cats get extra wiley/naughty when I'm working from home, they get closed out of the office. I know that not everyone has a spare room, but separating them from you somehow to calm down for a short time might help. They get bored and want to burn energy, but sometimes when you're on a...

Sorry to read the diagnosis. You're a good pet parent for knowing when your cat wasn't acting right and taking him in. Knowing what's going on means you can make informed decisions and cherish the time you have left with Stanley. Sending caring thoughts...

I 100% agree with @KittyCat_chitchat. That's what she is. I love color-pointed cats. I'd be prepared for a vocal cat, but also very loving. Also, if your climate (indoor/outdoor) is cool, her fur will darken with age. She's very cute and thank you for getting her spayed!

I agree - this sounds like it's going pretty good overall. Some "gentle" hissing is to be expected. It's a "don't come so close, I'm not sure of you yet". Let's be honest, some cats do have a lack of boundaries/personal space. They're just feeling each other out. But both seem to be showing some...

I think for 3 weeks, you're doing great! Like you said, they may still be figuring each other out. And their friendship, like all, may look different than the one Rory had with Lou. No two relationships will ever be the same. I'd say stay the course. Keep making their interactions positive...
