Coconut is an adorable name! I wonder what made you come up with it? Is he brown and white?
I am no expert, but I think in your case, only time will heal, slowly, but it will heal :alright:. Do you happen to know his past? Some street cats are abused and suffer from trust issues (Some people...
Your baby in the display picture looks super cute. I am sure his health was playing a part but some cats are just shy in nature. My boy Loki is the sweetest thing on the planet, but he has never been a lap cat. He has always hidden from everyone and do not like kids very much- maybe because my...
Hello new mom!
I am new to this site as well, and loving it so far! Cat parents can definitely help each other with their individual personalities. Poppy is treating you like her mother, and will most likely continue to do that for a bit. She is definitely not mad, but she is trying to figure...
Thank You for your suggestion. Yes, I have tried those as well. I mean, he will play for a bit but will get bored in a minute or two. He has a strange taste in toys. I bought one of those feathers attached toys to an elastic and that was a life saver. Not because of the feather side, but the...
I am so sorry. It sounds like you have a lot going on with a new baby and a furrbaby with UTI. :alright:
Is he physically hurting the girl? If not, are you sure that is not playful fight? After I brought Lily home, Loki had just lost it. Within a week, they became friends. After a few months...
You have a wonderful soul for helping this baby! :kiss:
Have you tried starting over with training pads? Maybe put training pads under the box exposing the sides where he usually poops? Try that first and maybe spread some litter on the exposed pad sides next where he poops to show him that the...
I am no expert, but it is a great idea to check that kind of stuff with the vet. while purring is considered a behavior, any sound out of the ordinary should be checked by a vet. My little girl Lily would breath with that asthma sound sometimes. It would come and go but had never completely...
I totally agree with 5starcathotel. While both of my babies were fine with the automated box, I heard many cats do not like it, in fact it stresses them out. As you know, cats have unique personalities and behaviors, you will have to try things differently to find out exactly what is the cause...
Awww.. please do not give up on him! You can do this, I promise! :alright:
Well, is your new kitty neutered? If not, that could be the reason for his behavior (Showing dominance and all that, you know?)
If he is and he is by nature a very active cat, you will just have to wait it out. While...
Some babies are obsessed with rugs. Loki was obsessed with one when he was kitten, but I do not think he would ever pee on it as he dragged it from one corner of the bathroom to the other (I know, out of all the toys he had) :dunno: He loved to chew off the sides to get little strings come out...
That display picture face is adorable!! :loveeyes: We have tried the tiny dancer, it was one of his favorites in the past. Until Lily came and now only watches us play but wont participate. It breaks my heart because I cant tell if he is having fun watching us play or he wishes I never got Lily...
Thank you so much for your suggestion. You described him purrfectly! He is just like your furrbaby, the observer. He loves to watch Lily and I play, but wont join. I really really really want to get him to be more active because of potential health risks in the future, needless to say, he is not...
Thank you so much for your suggestions! I do not think there is not a website or store I have not tried buying something different from just to get him to play or keep him interested for over a minute. I live a simple life, but I go all out when it comes to them. I am guilty or buying a few more...
Thank You so much for your response! It was my first post and did not expect so many kind parents with such helpful ideas.
They have a cat tree, but he only climbs up there to the top post and sleeps. If I let him roam in the house, he goes in the second bedroom and sleeps under the bed. He is...
