    Adopting first cat and have a moral dilemma

    He is out and about now! Now if I am not in the room he does resort to hiding again, but I think in time he will get more confidence. I am now having the opposite problem of him attached to my hip but I am working with him that it’s ok to be on a cat bed next to me and not in top of time the...

    New cat hiding under couch bed

    I feel this soooo hard. I just adopted a 4 year old cat on Saturday and he is just a lump behind my couch. This being my first cat it’s hard to not take it personally and get frustrated.

    Adopting first cat and have a moral dilemma

    Adopting first cat and have a moral dilemma

    can you expand on this a bit? When you say needs me individually are you talking an emotional connection when I first meet the cat or something else? It also seems daunting to walk into a sanctuary of what I think is over 100 cats and make an emotional connection with one.

    Adopting first cat and have a moral dilemma

    I live in a 3 bed 2 bath house. It’s still on the smaller side but there are lots of rooms. The cat would have its own spare bedroom for a base camp. I already have pretty much everything set up. Cat tree near a window that should provide a lot of cat tv. A few scratchers around the house. All...

    Adopting first cat and have a moral dilemma

    I am not sure if this is the right place for this post but it seemed the closest to the topic. So I was about to adopt my first cat from the local humane society but they have been closed for the last few weeks and I don’t know when they will be open again. So I started to look at other...
