I regretted getting our two cats for a few weeks after adopting them. Stressing about having to have litter boxes in our house for the next 20 years, always having to deal with the hair on everything. But it soon passed and I wouldn't give my furry friends away for anything. I think what you're...

I also experienced the regret and fear that this is a 15+ year commitment when we adopted our two cats. I personally found spending time with the cats and playing with them helped. I still have twinges of regret every now and then, especially when we were having alot of issues with our boy...

We have a cat who inhales her wetfood as well and can bother her "brother" when shes done and it has been a problem for him and we got a bowl to slow her down. We've also had her puke up her entire meal because she ate it so fast. So we heat their food up in the microwave (we have always done...

Yes I love your cats tricks! I also taught marcelline to speak as well! I am trying to figure out more ideas for tricks because she is very food driven when it comes to wet food feeding time so I am sure we can teach her to do even more! The boy is a little more stubborn and not nearly as food...

Hey All, Thought I'd post some pics of our cats. We've had them for about 4.5 months. The grey one (Marcelline) just turned 1 a couple weeks ago and the brown one (Finn) is about 3.5 years old. Finn and Marcy had never met before the day we adopted them but now they are best friends. We never...

Our Girl Marcy was pretty timid when she first came home (8 months old) and never ever meowed. After about 2 months I started teaching her to speak before i placed her wet food on the floor. At that time her meow was very hoarse and was the only meow we had heard from her. It was actually quite...

Awesome thanks guys! We are still learning all of our cats quirks and we just want to make sure they are happy! Appreciate all of the feed back!

Is there anyway to put them further from your room? Can you sleep with a box fan on high to drown out their meows? One of my cats likes to meow in the middle of my night (i work 3rd shift so I sleep during the day) and he just wants attention. We have to keep our bedroom door open because our...

Ooh wow 2 weeks is not long at all. She may take a while. When we adopted Marcy our grey tabby it took her about 3 months to fully acclimate to our apartment. So she may just be stressed with the change. Give her some time and I am sure she will come around.

Hello! Well I would say she feels comfortable around you if she is sleeping around you. I do have a couple questions. How old is she now? How long have you been at your new place? I am a pretty new cat owner myself so take anything I say with a grain of salt. My understanding is cats don't...

Hey there! So we adopted our cat Marcy 4 months ago, she was 8 months old when we got her. I know she is alot older than you kitty but I just wanted to share our experience. When we brought Marcy home she was terrified. She was so stressed out she refused to eat. My wife and I have to syringe...

@rubysmama Thank you for the link I will definitely do some reading on that! @littlecatt Thank you for your reply. I never thought of it that way. I guess we really are blessed to have cats that get along as well as these two, considering that hadn't met before we adopted them. And that's a...

Hello, Starting another thread because my wife just sent me this video. This is Finn our 3.5 year old male who likes to be very vocal when he catches his "prey" which i understand, but then tonight he was squatting while carrying the toy like he was mounting a female cat. Here is the video...

I want to add since I cannot edit my post. We think we messed up by not letting him hiss because we feel like he won't stand up for himself now so she walks all over him. And this is what we would like to change. How do we get him to stand up for himself so he hopefully goes back to the way he was.

Hey All, First ill give the TL;DR: New to the forum and have an issue that me an my wife are kind of at a loss on how to try and fix it. This is going to be a longer post so strap in. Back in February my Wife and I decide to adopt, long story short we came home with two cats. Finn a brown...
